I care.

Viscerally.

Well, kinda a combination of all of it, but when people are being greedy, selfish, ass holes instead of kind and fair and just trying to make the world or community a better place for everyone in it rather than just themselves or those they know there is an unyielding rage that begins to stir wants to MAKE them be fair and kind.

This is something that has baffled me for a while when I see or hear people talking happily about their home value going up or talking about their house as an investment and get mad at the thought of a drop in home value. Even if these people never sold their house, if home prices keep increasing faster than wages, then at some point they won’t be able to afford the taxes on their home. I just don’t get it, smh.

For any strike or boycott to be truly effective it needs to be maintained until the other side comes to some kind of agreement. A single day or two isn’t going to do much, and most of the population can’t afford to miss anymore work than that AND they are not socially connected to each other enough to be able to rely on one another for support and services while they are effectively locked out of the support and services they would receive from being able to pay for things and buy things.

For a lot of people the two general avenue of choices are resist now and potentially lose everything now, or do nothing now and potentially lose everything later.

I’m not necessarily justifying their actions, but it’s understandable.

I’m more interested in what the rest of the world will do. I have no doubt Greenland will defend itself, but no one really seemed interested in sending troops to help Ukraine when Russia invaded, what would be different in this scenario? I realize technically it’s NATO, but it isn’t like any of those agreements are bound by laws of nature and most of the people in charge these days seem more interested in whatever is profitable than what is right.

A disaster

I fucking hate when people say they prefer an SUV or a truck because they feel safer or because of the “increased visibility”. It especially bugs me coming from people who generally hold more progressive views because one of the reasons driving is so dangerous is due to the proliferation of large vehicles, so what they are essentially saying is very analogous to “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun”.

I’ll +1 your gripe with my old man yelling at clouds thing. Windows XP gave you the option of creating arbitrary taskbars/toolbars to locations on the desktop that could be floating or docked. I have always kept my data on a separate drive or array from the one my OS lives on. In Windows XP I would create a toolbar that contained the root of my data drive, dock it to the right side of my monitor, and then set it to autohide the same way you can set the taskbar to auto hide.

That in conjunction with the way that Windows XP allowed you to remap “My Documents” to a different location made for the cleanest workflow I have ever had.

They removed the toolbar functionality after XP and changed the way remapping system folders works slightly since then. I haven’t really found an application that gives the exact same functionality as the arbitrary toolbar from XP, but even if I did I still spend over half my day at work on a computer that is locked down by corporate IT where I can’t install whatever I want, and I like to try and mirror workflows between home and work because of muscle memory.

I’m in my mid 30s, lol.

Origami bouquet of flowers or arrangement of animals? Alternately origami Christmas ornaments?

What the actual mother fucking deep fried double wide inbred corn sucking bull shit are these god damn cunts doing now? Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all his carpenter friends sigh. I’d apologies on behalf of my country, but I don’t think enough of it truly cares enough for it to mean anything, so instead I’ll just say run, and quickly.
