  • What is a hobby you'd love to get into but cant for what ever reason

  • Cross country horse eventing. She’s too old, and I can’t afford the expenses.

  • ICE commander Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal today

  • The right is slowly re-adding Hispanics to the list of “white” people.

  • If you are formerly religious, how did you leave your religion and what made you do it?

  • -My pastor got up in the congregation and started asking for more money to support his family. Dude lives in a gigantic house in an expensive area.

    -At summer camp my youth pastor put me and my best friend in an “at risk youth group” with other kids who seemed to be “straying”. I took it as an insult.

    -my youth pastor was a huge fan of George Bush Jr. I kept pushing that Jesus espouses “left wing” ideas of helping the needy, speaking out against the rich, etc.

    -My youth pastor was super flagrant about not giving a shit about school. He was proud somehow that he failed intro Greek, twice.

    -My other pastor on my grandmother’s side shunned me because I had long hair. Literally pretended I didn’t exist when he saw me in the Christmas parade for the first time since I grew out my hair.

    -The message of the pastor changed as I got older. He was super nice to kids, but as late teenagers he started using tough love to teach us to rebuke worldly sin.

    Fuck the lot of them lol. I keep in touch with my shit family simply for the inheritance. That’s the level of anger I have for them and what they did to me as a child. I reduce their relationship with me to money.

  • How dangerous is to travel to the US nowadays?

    Jump

  • you'll be fine. just print your return ticket and don't use your phone while in the customs line.

  • What are the most important things to teach a child that they're not going to get in school?

    Jump

  • Cooking, efficient cleaning, basic repairs

  • Why are we OK with doctors and nurses working double or triple shifts?

    Jump

  • My personal take is that since doctors are all paid commensurate with the cost of housing, they can go literally anywhere they want.

    I’ve noticed over the years that here in AZ, many doctors here long term are centrist politically, unless they’re working for an aid organization like the AIDS foundation or a clinic that caters to the “needy”. Those that live here, want to live here. That said, the ones that aren’t in love with AZ dip out with no warning lol. Me personally, I’d move to Cali with zero hesitation. When abortion was momentarily made illegal here a few years ago, doctors just fucking left, mine included lol.

  • With how hard nurses work, I wouldn’t work more than 30 either lol. I’m willing to bet they’re doing 3 10s, some overnight. My aunt does 3 12s in 3 days then takes 4 days off.

  • Why are we OK with doctors and nurses working double or triple shifts?

  • You know, healthcare jobs are the only ones I see “advertised” here in the Southwest. There are billboards for all sorts of medical careers. I’ve had friends and acquaintances talk about being a nurse as a backup career plan.

    Nursing is a career path where you cannot rise to the top ranks. Nurses cannot ever rise above doctors, because the next step up is a doctor. The repeat clients in a hospital setting in the southwest are drug addicts or psych patients. The “average” person going to the hospital is going there with something severe. Not to say that everyone doesn’t deserve care, but know your patient base. Nurses are strapped in the entire shift, and being late from lunch is like being late to work. It’s incredibly stressful, and there are studies that essentially show that nurses are worked to the mental and physical limit in their lifetime.

    Nurses are treated like shit, and there’s a steady stream of them leaving the profession or moving into admin positions where they’ll settle in; you’re way better off in every way to just aspire to the admin jobs with a master’s of public health. Tell your friends. You’re welcome.

  • Weird how that works

  • Same with Ukraine support: Putin’s bullshit machine convinced idiots and their reps and now we’re half against Ukraine.

  • Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

  • It’s kinda hilarious that poverty and bad business sense made those empty spaces and it works out as a net positive.

  • My high school had us off the bus at the school at like 6h45. I was on the corner at 6h23 every day in high school. In the winter, I was out there before the sun came up. It was ludicrous.

  • Tucson here: I thought I’d like to move to Phoenix for the big city convinces. After staying overnight at a friend’s house, I can solidly say that the difference in the summer is insane. It’s a whole new level of heat. It’s doable, but shit, it’s not a joke if you’re unprepared.

    The heat island effect is not an exaggeration. The lows in Phoenix in the summer are higher than the highs in even warm climate cities.

  • I totally want to know more about this

  • Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he did

  • 1P 7.0 moved to electron, which means sub-native performance and higher RAM usage. They removed their lifetime sub payment and stranded their lifetime users on 6.0 . I left right after the removal of lifetime subs.

  • TIL that reading scores have plummeted in school districts around the U.S.

  • NM is one of the poorest states in the country. With no real major cities, there’s a lack of opportunity. Also, the eastern counties are as red as rural Texas.

  • Longtime Leading AMD Linux GPU Driver Developer Now Working For Valve

    Jump

  • Possibly a contract employee. Essentially, Valve pays him as an individual to do what they’d normally pay a firm to develop. There’s positives and negatives to that kind of work relationship.

  • 16 minute Aluminium OS video leaked

    Jump

  • It looks cheap and as if it’s designed for super low end hardware that can’t handle blur effects. I can’t wait for the Android integration features to get poached and put into Linux though.

  • ‘It’s literally going to break me.’ Commuting is now unaffordable for some American workers

    Jump

  • Here in the southwest, an EV is only cheap to charge at home. Many ordinary people live in apartments.

  • New financed postmarketOS project: q6voice(d)

    Jump

  • I highly doubt there would be one. I imagine entire optics engineering departments are deployed to write that software. Phone manufacturers don’t usually write that software either; it’s more often than not licensed.

    Fun fact, Sony’s phones break the camera software if you root them. I wonder how much of it is to protect their blobs.
