This reminds me of the time I was at work doing searches for
female female connection
female female coupling
female to male adapter
I wonder what IT thought. It was for serial ports, I swear!
(IT probably didn’t care much about this compared to the time that another employee was soliciting prostitutes using his work email.)
We usually think of people in the past as prudes but they were actually saying stuff like “These connectors look like they’re having sex, let’s officially name them based on that.”
Given that our IT completely failed to secure our networked storage, I wouldn’t be so sure. (Our CEO was a stereotypically loud Italian guy, and he was the calmest I had ever seen him when I showed him that I could access all his files. I wish I could have been there when he went to have a polite chat with IT about that…)
Another time, IT put an electronic lock on the door to the server room. One day that lock (and all the other electronic locks in the building) wouldn’t open. It turned out that the computer controlling the locks had frozen up, but it was in the server room so they couldn’t get in to reset it. They ended up having to take the door off of its hinges.
Or when I got laid off (the start-up’s money ran out so half of the employees were, including the former CEO) and someone told my very embarrassed boss to follow me around while I went to get my stuff. You gave me keys to the building and root access to the R&D machines. You were shipping with the firmware image I made. But now you were worried that I was the vengeful sort?
If your search engine used HTTPS (which nearly all websites do now, but it’s possible that you made these searches before that was common) then IT would have no way of knowing what searches you were making.
Trump dying now would be terrible for the country. If we’re ever going to heal as a nation, the MAGA cult has to see this guy behind bars, and see the rest of the Republican leadership at long last disown him.
I’m concerned if he’s jailed, the nutbags will revolt and we’ll have a civil war. If he dies of natural causes, there’s a slim chance of avoiding that. The next challenge will be who the greater wack job is going to be looking to replace Trump
After watching Jan 6th, I don’t think a civil war is on the horizon. Most people are too soft and comfortable. Hell, there was one lady that stormed the capitol, got maced, and then complained about it to a reporter. When she was asked why she stormed the capitol she said, “It’s a revolution, man!”
Also, you can’t really divide the country up geographically by left or right (more people in California voted for Trump than in almost every other state, for example). So, no, I’m not worried about a civil war.
That being said, I don’t see the far-right disappearing anytime soon. There are powerful people that benefit too much by having our society divided, and it’s not just in the US where this is happening.
It won’t be a civil war. I think we’ll see a significant increase in acts of domestic terrorism against perceived Liberals in government (assassination attempts), Liberal communities, and Liberal businesses, and Liberal media outlets. I think it will sadly become our “new normal”. Oh, and if and when Trump dies of natural causes, his followers won’t accept it and they’ll instead believe he was killed by his political opponents. They’ll never believe in a million years that he died naturally.
I went to look for the story and found it but also found the same place, camera angle, just a different fight. Looks like this is a regular thing there?
