As long as the base is sufficiently flared, it's dealers choice

I AM being attacked

That was my first thought. Dudes dehydrated as fuck

I'd say that you had a good idea except you have people openly calling antifa a terrorist organization. They are calling themselves anti-anti-facist unironically

Problem is a lot of people take poverty eradication to mean eradicating the poor

Look, I do numbers. Not words. I'm glad if autocorrect even knows what I'm trying to type a good part of the time

That said, good to know!

You don't have to be autistic to be drawn to a life of repeating the same steps over and over with tiny variations and pouring over the data that comes of it but it sure does help

My wife worked in ICU then COVID ICU. She still gets PTSD flashbacks from everything she dealt with when someone comes in with similar symptoms. I got front row tickets to seeing a person who's entire job is to keep people alive go from "oh someone I had today coded and we couldn't bring them back" every so often to "we had multiple people die today. A few more aren't much longer. If we put them on their back, they'll die. If we give them water, they'll choke and die. They still refuse to believe that COVID is real as they are actively suffering and dying of it".

Yeah, we get a touch testy when people say it was fake or overblown

As someone who deals with various windows bullshit on the daily, 8gb for win11 is fine assuming you don't use any applications. If you want to actually use the machine, 16gb is the absolute minimum

The good/bad news is that the old "I swear to God you bootlickers need a good ass kicking" and "Jesus is ashamed at what you do in his name" styles of country are making a comeback

And for inclusivity, there's a sub genre devoted to the "you tried to end my people but I will not die" style which includes focuses on lgbtqia+, women in general, pagans/wiccans, indigenous groups, other, and various combinations therein

The bog witches, fae creatures, and {unknown description of Appalachian denizens} have been putting out some good stuff

For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.

In school, I didn't have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn't cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.

Then, in the workforce, I'm constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.

I believe this would be a good definition for gallows humor
