Hey Hillary, we'd all appreciate it if you stopped being a public figure.

I think you're being too black and white. The purpose of all this society shit isn't to have laws that are justly applied - it's to (ideally, late stage capitalism is fucking is here) provide the best life we can to as many people as we can. Being murdered, robbed or a bundle of other things fucking sucks so we use the law to guarantee (again, suckinh at this right now) safety and stability.

If someone did a little asshattery I don't want to start a civil war - as a parallel, if someone runs a red light and we could either let them go unpunished or start a high speed chase, I'm going to favor the former. There is a line somewhere, there is some amount of petty treason someone could commit and some quantity of armed fanatics backing them where I'd say "we should just not risk it."

Basically, sometimes it's optimal to be non-confrontational even if it feels shitty.

Data brokers would be likely then, imo.

The fear (a rational fear, I think) is that if they didn't, they'd potentially have an armed rebellion to deal with. Yea, it's shitty for this asshat to get gift after fucking gift but if there was any appearance of him being targeted he'd never fucking shut up about it.

I'm done with their bullshit and I feel, for democracy's sake, we should just seize all the family assets to discourage future ass hattery and deal with the consequences now... but I also do appreciate my relatives not living in a war zone.

That would be a backromanteau?

Can you clarify if you're looking at a field where background checks are mandatory (like security) or one where the employer is voluntarily running one? In the latter case, brokers are usually cheaper and more common, in the former it may be mandated to go through a specific government entity i.e. county/state/province law enforcement - often times that will be dictated by contracts with clients, sometimes laws.

I understand your pain - the real reason for that is that PHP was the first "hobbyist" programming language so a lot of self trained folks built websites that ended up slowly morphing into successful businesses.

One of the things I'm actually most proud of from the PHP community is that around 5.2 the maintainers looked around and saw sites like Quora and StackOverflow were littered with the worst fucking PHP advice endorsing functions like mysql_query and ill-advised features like magic_quotes so the community invested a lot of resources in purging answers that preached anti-patterns and replace them with non-terrible answers.

I work in PHP and it's perfectly serviceable now, we've got strict typing, namespaces, lambdas, all the nice shit you'd expect in a modern language.

"Burned outs just another word for not taking your bosses shit" - sing it to the tune of Me and Bobby McGee.

Except that Biden looks great - far more young voters will be peeved over the GOP blocking this than would have actually benefitted from the policy. "Biden tried to forgive your loans but the GOP just had to block it in the courts" - it might make Biden look somewhat incompetent but it mostly just makes Republicans look like they hate young people who are struggling.

As a cat owner... house cats are definitely terrorists but I love 'em.

Employment is a mutual arrangement - never be concerned about looking suspicious. Be prepared to explain your choice honestly and stand by the actual work you're producing. Asses-in-chairs style management is toxic and you should push back against it.

Everyone who would see some difference by using a mouse jiggler should use one. If your supervisor is tracking mouse activity they can get fucked. If your machine auto-locks after a fixed number of minutes it can also get fucked.

I'd suggest just installing Caffeine though.

Class action lawsuits are very rarely lucrative for the harmed party but they often result in sizeable penalties for companies. They're essentially just punitive.

Republicans torpedoing this is political stupidity... it's basically a free win for Biden where he looks like he did a good thing and doesn't actually need to allocate the funds.

So... ban Uber.

Is the fine more than a hundred billion? If not it's fucking chump change to Apple.

The GOP got kicked in the head.

It's fucking insane what they're selling these days.

Extremely safe - just be careful about where your feet are if you're next to them. More people than you'd think have lost or seriously injured a foot because a cow or, especially, a draft horse, can't see where they're stepping.

If you get a chance and it's just cows then go up and say hi, they're wonderful animals and unbelievaby chill. I'd honestly be more comfortable petting a strange cow then a strange cat... if they shy away or noticeably get irritated when you approach be smart and give them space, but you're probably just going to get licked and mooed at.

PHP and C are both fine languages, they have their strengths and their weaknesses. They're tools and if you feel the need to shit on them then you clearly need more practice using a diversity of languages.

Thinking that NDP voters want a CPC government is a fucking conservative fantasy.

Let's bear in mind that Trudeau handed this win to the CPC by repeatedly failing to pass any kind of voting reform - the CPC will never be able to win a majority vote among Canadians.
