Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

1. I’m just tired right now.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

I love their little heads so much.

Halloween used to be cool before people started creating obligations for it. At least work parties aren’t obligations towards family members and you can slip out early, but it’d be a lot more fun if that pressure wasn’t there.

Split the house chores between a partner, meme and doom scroll social media while at work, exercise at home or nearby. Don’t have the energy to keep in contact with most people all that often though. Get what sleep I can.

Yeah, I wish times were simpler. There’s too many qualified workers in the world struggling to use the skills they’ve spent years training.

Anyways, I appreciate your sympathy and I appreciate that you didn’t immediately reach for the nearest pitch fork when I told you my field.

World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.

Law unfortunately. JDs simply are not worth much outside of this country. Canada has the NCA program I believe, but that takes a couple of years. If you’re familiar with this program please feel free to correct me. Foreign council is an option for many countries, but given that the legal system is slowly failing in this country I don’t see that as a safe long-term option. I lack general experience in that area anyways.

I have friends struggling to find work right now too. The political and economic climate being awful has contributed to this a lot, and I have to respect having some financial stability over potentially being in an unfamiliar country without such stability. I also suspect Americans may not be welcome in a lot of places at this current moment in time either. So that’s how it goes I suppose.

If only. There’s only two countries that I’m aware of in the world that will let me transfer my graduate degree into something potentially useful.

For those that don’t get it this is survivorship bias.

During World War 2 they were attempting to figure out how to better equip the planes they had to survive. A certain statistician by the name of Wald figured out that the holes in the planes that they could track weren’t that important because those were the planes that returned. Instead it was safer to assume that everywhere else needed better protection, as the planes that received damage in those areas weren’t returning.

Sorry if I ruined the funny, but I saw the downvotes and was concerned.

Reminds of during covid when people were photoshopping their cats faces onto bees. It was my favorite trend.

His mother shall not be pleased with this.

Void cats are precious and should be treasured. I love mine.

Same, I’m rooting for the seagull, assuming that’s what they’re going for.

As funny as it could be I wouldn’t want to play any part in it. You don’t know when someone is going to lash out.

I spent close to a year being stalked and harassed by another man, although for a different reason than what could happen here. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone. Being an ally shouldn’t have to mean taking the bullet for someone else. We should be working together to create safety networks where no one has to be at risk or in harms way.

SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.

Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.

When a client tells you they’ve done their own research. Either go pro se or shut up and let us handle your mess.

I can ask mine to speak and he’ll respond. Unfortunately if he’s in a mood and I ask him to be quiet he often won’t listen.

It’s alright, that lawyer is just outside counsel, he was expendable.
