What, did The Base founder fleeing to Moscow or the Russian honeypots oddly popping up in right wing protests give it away?

This isn’t helping to motivate me in applying my BSE degree I earned years ago lol. I’ve been pretty content with my current WFH job, even if it’s unrelated to software development. It sure does seem like there are many inflated egos in the industry and I’m not sure if I have the patience to navigate them. That’s not to say I’m better than they are, but goddamn the pissing contests in any arena get tiresome.

How so very individual freedomy.

I might have that wrong and it may be a full week. I’ll ask them when I get a chance and update.

Edit: Yeah my mistake; it’s a week.

I’ll just say that my wife works in medicine and you have to stop Oz3mpic 24 hours before surgery because of the added risk of aspiration due to the stomach retaining food contents for longer. Seems to possibly put strain on the pancreas (pancreatitis a side effect).

That doesn’t sit well with me. Neither does it fix the core problem of what caused the vast majority of weight gain cases: poor dietary habits. Then again, our society has short-circuited evolutionary dopamine-driven behavior so it may necessitate intervention to re-wire it back.

This is so myopic.

• Don’t blame the voters for not choosing the obviously better and more probable choice that would lead to protections for Palestinians than the guaranteed binary alternative outcome? Okay.

• Ignore the fact that much of the electorate is completely fucking ignorant and apathetic and duped by literally billions of dollars of misinformation flooding their media, both domestically but also including Israeli and Russian operations spreading disinformation? (something these Uncommitted voters became susceptible too in the boTh SiDes rhetoric, ind you)

I’m Pro-Palestinian. I’m Pro-Civilian. But if these couch-sitters really gave a fuck beyond empty moral grandstanding, then they should’ve focused on helping to inform their fellow voters why it’s important to help Gaza. After all, you want candidates to respect the will of the voters but ignore the ultimate reality that the electorate was clearly split on the issue just the same and made no attempt to influence the electorate? Put another way: instead of protesting the DNC convention, maybe you guys should’ve started protesting at church parking lots around the country and showing the horrors of Palestine, undercutting the media narrative? That would’ve been much more fruitful.

Because you’re lying to yourself if you think Harris would somehow be worse or equally unreachable like Trump.

Leaving aside the fact that you completely further enabled (a) a loss of LGBTQ+ rights in America, (b) Women’s rights by abortion access, (c) Climate change, and finally (d) became complicit in enabling Russia’s attempted genocide in Ukraine all the same. So please, step off the soapbox.
