Bakkoda ,

I don’t remember signing any contract.

Bakkoda ,

Clicking accept on a EULA does not a contract make.

Bakkoda ,

His philosophy is bullshit and hasn’t been compatible with the current economical climate in 20+ years.

Bakkoda ,

The amount of money i invest into my homelab is oddly proportional to the amount of money i have after not purchasing 17 different subscriptions for bloated catalogs of doodoo.

My end user experience is incredible and i was willing to pay for it.

Bakkoda ,

Aleksandr Dugin must be rocking the biggest boner ever.

Bakkoda ,

I’ve seen eggdrop bots, all Dune inspired, fester in an irc room for years and never got anythin close to shai-hulussy. AI will never replace humans.

Bakkoda ,

MPAA is the organization that took 2600 to court over linking to DeCSS source code. All they understand is money and power and so far is worked really well. This is an organization that literally inserted itself into our society. Remove them, by force if necessary.

Bakkoda ,

These are the people that sued a kid who broke DVD “drm” so he could play LEGAL movies he OWNED on a Linux machine since there was still licensing issues (i think that’s the reason?) and no player. An be he didn’t even live in the US.

“A mckinsey report says”

Full stop. A consulting group that’s responsible for price hikes, layoffs and bad faith tactics should 100% be ignored.

Bakkoda ,

I’d rather be at home where i can enjoy my life as i choose if I’m not working. End of it for me. I get it, paid to do nothing but i just don’t like doing nothing. Not saying i want to beat my body or mind up non stop but full stop, hurry up and wait… No thanks.

Anthony Albanese demands accountability from Israel over death of aid worker in Gaza (www.sbs.com.au)

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Australian government is demanding “full accountability” with a request for a call-in from the Israeli ambassador over the death of Australian aid worker Lalzawmi Frankcom in what her employers described as a “targeted” Israeli airstrike in Gaza....

Bakkoda ,

The news is now basically “XXXXX has said these words” and almost never “XXXXX has done these things” and the media seems perfectly ok basing entire articles off talking points.

Bakkoda ,

Preach it. I fought and fought to get my ASQs and CQEs (quality certs) as an automations guy. I worked in fda/dea/gmp environments with those systems so why they hell not. Took 2 years to finally get both and bailed immediately. Did all my bs six sigma bullshit along the way.

If it’s a smash and grab for them then it’s a smash and grab for me.

Bakkoda ,

I have a 800-810 credit score. I have positive networth. I have no mortgage, no student loans and one car loan with less than 5k left. The best interest rate on a credit card i could find was over 18%. I didn’t actually apply so the rate might go lower but still, that’s criminal imo.

Bakkoda ,

I haven’t paid a balance in a decade but here’s the thing: I’m probably a small minority of your <250k earners. Combined our household AGI is ~150k so it’s anecdotal at best. For those who have to use the card it’s stacked so far against them it’s insane.

Bakkoda ,

Yeah I’ve got no one to blame for me not looking into then more. I have a savings account with them for my “car loan” which is just me putting money away for the next car and it’s got a great interest rate. I really should move my banking to them but they aren’t really local.

Some state lawmakers want school chaplains as part of a 'rescue mission' for public education (apnews.com)

Lawmakers in more than a dozen states have proposed legislation to allow spiritual chaplains in public schools, a move that proponents say will ease a youth mental health crisis, bolster staff retention and offer spiritual care to students who can’t afford or access religious schools....

Bakkoda , (edited )

You ever notice that all these headlines say “Lawmakers want” and “Politicians want” and virtually never say “Voters want”?

It’s almost like maybe it’s an Us vs Them thing?

Bakkoda ,

Just spent hours last night attempting to get my wife’s Kobo to work with overdrive/libby/local library lending and after losing her read status twice, all the series information and collections twice we just gave up and went back to calibre and pirating.

Two clicks and a few minutes vs literally unusable bullshit.

Yellen says China's rapid buildout of its green energy industry 'distorts global prices' (apnews.com)

Yellen, who is planning her second trip to China as Treasury secretary, said Wednesday in Georgia that she will convey her belief to her Chinese counterparts that Beijing’s increased production of green energy also poses risks “to productivity and growth in the Chinese economy.”...

Bakkoda ,

Subsidized fossil fuels you say? Well ok, coming right up.

Bakkoda ,

Mine gets warm but not hot. It def doesn’t need a brighter screen though.

Bakkoda ,

It’s all about perspective. Do you profit of prison labor? Do you get paid for defending pieces of shit? America sounds fuckin awesome for those people.

Bakkoda ,

Anyone wanna start a business selling cow proof gun safes and cow proof trigger locks?

Bakkoda ,

I really thought you were gonna say English Muffin. 🥴

Bakkoda ,

Literally every business he’s ever touched. He’s not an inventor he’s an exploiter.

Bakkoda ,

As soon as they removed the challenge social feature, we bailed.

Bakkoda ,

One time i ate a ton of shrooms, some blotter and god knows what else on 4/20 which was also Easter. About two hours later the girls across the street who were making us ham dinner decided it would be cool to go to church. I won’t go into details but it ended badly.

Bakkoda ,

I have 1 off site and two 10tb external drives that are duplicate backups.

Mexico, a key U.S. ally on migration, pushes back hard on Texas law (www.washingtonpost.com)

MEXICO CITY — After years of bowing to U.S. pressure to help slow migration, Mexico is drawing the line at a Texas law that would give the state a dramatically bigger role in border enforcement, including the right to deport undocumented migrants....

Bakkoda ,

Which is exactly why Texas is in full on fuck around and find out mode. Pushing the limits of both foreign and domestic policy while also testing out the brand new bought and paid for Supreme Court.

Bakkoda ,

See i feel like there is, it’s just the rest of us who are finding out lol

Bakkoda ,

Our local food pantries are literally overflowing with donations from Hannaford, Price Chopper and some other local markets. The stuff is on the shelves here just a lot of it isn’t being bought because it’s a slightly more expensive option.

Bakkoda ,

The Prem is an absolute shit show. You need USA, Peacock and then good knows what for some FA coverage. I tried peacock for the 3 months at like 1.99 and was very disappointed. So few games.

Bakkoda ,

Maybe we could just start some civil unrest in the top 20? Level the playing field.

/S for anyone that needs it. Feels like there’s a lot of you lately.

Bakkoda ,

My healthcare all rolled over like it does every single year… Except for my prescription plan. I had to register an account on their terrible website for both my wife and I before they would allow us to use our plan.

Bakkoda ,

Last few years we were paying ~ 2k a year for home and auto with two cars. We’re both in the 40-50 age range with perfectly clean driving records.

Last year it jumped to 3600 (we use a broker) and we shopped around and it was still the cheapest plan. Our agent said it’s because all the COVID relief/incentives expired. Funny how that never came up in conversation or was ever reflected in a bill.

Bakkoda ,

Almost all of my barbecue rubs have black garlic salt/pepper. Make it myself.

Bakkoda ,

I think this is the gamble and Steam does well in these

Bakkoda ,

That’s literally all this is. He can fix an election and they can’t even really pick their own fuckin candidate.

Netanyahu snaps back against growing US criticism after being accused of losing his way on Gaza (apnews.com)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed Sunday against growing criticism from top ally the United States against his leadership amid the devastating war with Hamas, describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”...

Bakkoda ,

That’s the worst straw man I’ve ever seen. You either need to put in more effort or no effort and not post.

Bakkoda ,

Depending on where you live it’s only a matter of time before you’ll own some

Bakkoda ,

That means you got nothing to lose buddy. High five!

Bakkoda ,

Translation: We are gonna gouge the ever living fuck out of every single customer.

Bakkoda ,

We are gonna hold 8th graders to a higher standard than Congress? Seriously.

Bakkoda ,

Anything that requires any personal info from me needs to come in the form of a physical letter. I do not give out anyone over the phone. Emails are not legally binding.
