100% agree. I try to keep my paranoia at bay by minimizing the language but yeah, gonna get bad quick. I hope I’m wrong.

Reading something like this is just chilling. We’re at the point where mainstream journalism is openly acknowledging the coming corruption. This shit is going to be wild.

lol, apparently autocorrect sees the same truths we do :).

we made it legal a while ago, just used to pretend it was a bad thing. This one uses it as their strategy.

hope this country enjoys the dictatorship of dunces we just voted in.

I keep saying it, these “donations” are and dictator of what’s to come. The money structure knows that we’re entering an era that will be defined by bribery and grift. At this point they are merely preparing for the coming trump dictatorship, they know they will need favor with ol’ donny goodbrains and his authoritarian clown show.

To me it’s an indication of a broken system that cannot be fixed. no one really believes trump is going to fix anything, but they do know that they can curry favor of the power structure through bribery. they know what kind of system it will be and are playing the best hand they have.

essentially we’re screwed, it’s a realization by the money and power structure that come next Jan., we’re in a trump dictatorship.

That’s precisely what I’m after, and what I’m proposing. I don’t care about the outputs, I care about the process that gets them to us.

Also why they need to be living documents, but if we have to reinvent the wheel every time we need a new one, it slows things down. I should mention, I’m on the IT side.

I am fresh off a rather interesting conversation with my boomer boss. I’m a new manager and I’m working on policy and process. I was basically shut down, told to not bother documenting, that we have a way of doing things and he would spend every day with me for weeks to get it right if he had to.

I asked again, wouldn’t it be easier and more efficient to have these processes documented and accepted rather than force muscle memory? I even offered to document the process during our training sessions but was told that were a small company and no one will look at documentation if we create it (we’re a 2000 employee manufacturing company).

Oh well, I know how to work around obstinance and he’s pretty old.

Yes, every family has this drawer, and every family also has a member who despises this drawer and fruitlessly reorganizes, labels and makes it easy for everyone else but it takes one load of dishes and…

What were we talking about again. Oh yeah, that’s normal.

We had our chance a little over a month ago. Now our only hope is their own incompetence.

At this point, I’d say on planet earth.

This is coming from someone dealing with their boomer parents right now.

That is ironically one of the consequences of this election.

it honestly could have been a 10mb, I don’t even remember. only thing I really do remember is thinking it was interesting how it used the floppy and second cable, and how the sound it made was used in every 90’s and early 2000’s tv and movie show as generic computer noise :)

You have me beat on the XT, mine was a 286, although it did replace an Apple 2e (granted both were aquired several years after they were already considered junk in the 386 era).

It wasn’t, but welcome to our new reality. Elections have consequences people.

The full on fascism is arriving faster than I even anticipated. Shits going to be bad.

My prediction, they privatize social security and Medicare, leading to quick stock market gains as the previously locked up pool of money floods the market. Shit will of course eventually collapse and millions will be ruined, but it’s a problem that manifests under the next administration. They will have the money by then so who cares…

My first HD was a 20mb mfm drive :). Be right back, need some “just for men” for my beard (kidding, I’m proud of it).

Was mostly a joke, I too suffered a brain injury a couple years ago and it did nothing but make me more vocal about my opinions (which has folks labelling me far left).

Goddamn, either this guy was one hell of a fraud, or brain damage does really cause conservatism.

With all the billionaires rushing to kiss the ring, the richest cabinet ever by a large margin, the media just rolling over at every chance it gets… it’s really hard not to feel like we’re already in full blown fascism, and this has all just been the preview.

I really hope I’m insane and paranoid.

Yeah, I feel like this last election was an awakening for me of exactly how stupid, selfish and ignorant this country is on average. This country is just dumb as shit and proud of it.
