Southern Oregon has a bird sanctuary. I just need to bring a rifle and bitch about something absurd but topical.

Nope. I bet if I wanted, I dig through my entire post library here and view the slow transition over the past decade.

Those redpillers are brainwashed sheep, you have to get beyond the whole pill thing and see the big picture.

I don't understand the redpill people. It is obvious men have  unfair advantages over women in many ways. Most men will never realize it unless they are pointed out to them though.

i remember one time my parents gave me a very harsh lesson in life - "Life is unfair".  I'm still trying to come to grips with it.

"Life is unfair" has to be the most useless advice in the history of useless advice.

Life is unfair said the American man as he lived in the safety of trillions of dollars of military and police protection.

"Life is unfair"
"Life is difficult"

These are two very important pieces of advice.

Pulled our 26 year old Mac Classic out of the cupboard.
- Battery is flat
- Half the RAM is not working.
- Floppy disk drive is not working

If I'd kept my old Mac LC, or a printer, or both, I'd be able to get the files off the portable (1Gb) hard drive  that I need.

i think that is going be a major problem as time/technology goes on. obsolescence is going to be a big deal when you start dealing with things that need 5–10 years of reliable archival sources. people laugh and say that where letters and physical records used to do everything, now we'll have gmail chat records and SATA2 drives. but the gmail service won't last as long as a piece of paper stored correctly, and SATA2 is going the way of the floppy drive.

they are particularly important if you actually live as 75% of the planet live and aren't cocooned in the first-world (as a white male furthermore) where the total extent of your problems might be that banana republic don't stock your waist size for their khakis.

that's one of those dumb pseudo-scientific theses that you'd get in a really bad self-help book. no wonder it appears on linkedin, traducing the scientific method and pretense of 'objectivity' to make some dumb conference-seminar bullshit point.

humans have probably never been subjectively happy and fulfilled. this point is so obviously a truism as to seem pathetic. when people start spouting truisms you have to ask what their underlying or ulterior point is. the above sounds like a conservative 'realist' stance to 'feelingz' that will be used to ignore all sorts of preventable suffering. "what's that, third world? you want decent jobs now you have safe drinking water? look, here's a graph that shows we haven't had food and safety for 180,000 years! happiness is a myth don't you know!!!"

in any case, nobody, not even the most deluded and pampered trust-fund baby living in a brooklyn brownstone, believes that "if i don't achieve happiness i will die". please unlink yourself from this mong on linkedin.

Macs can be a toughie, but you can still find some of this stuff at computer recyclers.

FWP: Way back when I was in college, I rescued two boxes of 5 1/4 floppy drives (all working, tested at home) that were simply going to be chucked into the dumpster. I managed to keep them in my unobtrusive corner of the garage until my parents insisted I throw them out. Checking ebay, some of these things are going for nearly $100. Same bloody story with my consoles and video games that still had their boxes and documentation.

I failed my background check. So the government won't give me authority and weapons.


I can start smoking weed again though so that's a plus.

damn, did they tell you why you failed?

I guess you'll just have to settle for young impressionable minds to exert control over.  Good luck trying to get your teaching credentials! Any plans to get a graduate degree?

Nope.

Thanks, Ken. I am just going to have to settle on keeping black school children down instead of black adults. Today is actually my first day of teachers school. I don't want to do a graduate degree right now. It would feel like a waste to go for anything other than some professional graduate degree and I don't have the heart to sit through 2+ years of that.

Are you going to do your poli sci MA?
