I have never been able to figure out how to block fingerprinting without entirely disabling my browser and it looks like the race to the bottom is accelerating

I’m more concerned with the folks not getting aid because they think the process is so dreadful. It’s complicated and tedious, but doable, and the determinations are generally pretty strict. I got a high rating without combat experience, but I also can’t lift anything heavy and expect to move the next day without cry-in-the-car back pain. Like, I moved a table the other day and couldn’t stand up the next day. I also know people with exposure to toxic waste, with fucking tumors, who refuse to seek help because it would seem weak or the process is too daunting. It’s not weak to need help and it’s not justifiable the damage we’re asked to do to ourselves.

However, I have also seen people get 100% rating and have no apparent difficulty functioning, but they had enough little things add up to maximize their rating. So probably part of it is the calculation, but impact to quality of life and function is difficult to quantify fairly.

That being said, a lot (I mean a LOT) of waste could be cut from the contract process. I’ve seen tens of millions go to waste simply because the government didn’t agree to a contract that couldn’t be provided by anyone else by the close out date, and during renegotiation the company doubled the price for work that was already done.

Can confirm! It’s probably the only one I can remember that doesn’t have any of the creepy tropes. It has some horror that could be unsettling, but mostly it’s goofy and full of whimsy, like if you got lost in the woods and ran into the Gordon Ramsey of cave dwelling

Hell yeah, I knew my feed was missing something

False Knees? One of my favorites

Gotcha, makes sense

I misinterpreted “not a professional pilot,” thanks. Also, I still don’t understand and will probably never watch the show, sooo I guess that’s that

If you want complete sentences, you don’t ask closed ended questions

He flew a plane? Without a pilots licence? And that saved lives?

Adventure time?

Damn, shouldn’t have quit drinking

Is he trying to copy Trump’s official glare? Cringe.

Also, why can’t I be appointed to a random high-level government job? I actually have government experience.

This seems like a great place to plug Feynman’s talk Los Alamos From Below

My old job force migrated everyone to Okta the week it got breached

My brain lacks the RAM to process anagrams, let alone these strange new antigrams

Uh huh

Damn, yeah I get it. I left the military because I saw another trump term on the way, but they had employed me outside my degree field for a decade and didn’t provide enough certifications for anything related to what I actually did, so I have zero credibility in anything.

I’m about 400+ applications in and I’ve only been contacted by companies preying on young people, AI training companies, or scams. None of them have moved me past the first stage.

Terrifying that recruiters are getting so many applications. Good luck out there

I’ve been putting out 20-50 applications a week since September. So far I get a handful of rejections every day and I’ve gotten a grand total of 3 first round interviews

Probably the doctor
