• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a shamefully dark question for firefighters. I'm sorry but I'm just too curious to not ask... It's about the smell and how that affects life.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how firefighters prevent the PTSD.

  24 years ago I passed through the area of the disaster site in NYC, and the smells linger in my brain even now. One smell is smoky and ashy and dusty, another is a burny smell that’s different, and there’s one unrelated smell that’s unique to that area that will also trigger me. These days it’s a lot of “I gotta process this a bit more, but I’m okay” but they’ll still set me off a bit.

  My grandad went to Normandy , my dad was a firefighter, and I’m glad I’m just a computer nerd. The most stressful thing I should have to do is make sense of all the broken things RedHat jammed together and sold as a product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the world connected on Skype⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Skype is still a very good voice chat app, despite a succession of cluttered and pointless updates. It’s clear and clean in sound, and has an excellent gain tuner.

  I will use it until the day it dies, and then switch to WhatsApp or something else. It’s all shit by comparison, so I’m not too chuffed as to where I go. Yeah, it’s all junk.

  But with my contacts on Whatsapp, signal, teams, slack, and zoom, this feels so much like the pre-jabber days where pidgin was the only sane app. Now we don’t even have that.

  This is lame.

  The tax thing, for example[:] you can’t file jointly if you aren’t married, no matter what else you set up

  Not true. We filed jointly for years as common law. 🇨🇦

  don’t explain the different product lines suck.

  Why would the explain the product lines suck? That kind of honestly will not win sales!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else are they hiding from us?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A huge portion of Americans aren’t sure the earth is round and ‘idiocracy’ is fictional.

  I’m okay with the more esoteric things being reserved for those who can comprehend them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite “flop” of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Roger Ebert’s quote was “I wish to take up a habit smoking pot I the hopes of killing the brain cells that record my memory of watching this movie”

  In a world where The Emperor’s New Groove gets a 97, Dude gets a 2. Out of 100.

  We got free tickets to a movie of our choice when the film for shaft burned up like you see on TV. It was awesome! And it was a dialogue part between Shaft and Palmieri That didn’t detract from the film at all.

  So we saw dude. It was so bad that we almost felt we wanted our money back on a free film

  Having said that, we say both the quotables all the time.

  I work in text.

  You can keep your infix replies and fancy colors. I want my replies to look like forwarded email as per rfc1855.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This.

  And if they don’t answer all three, the only response they get is a repeat of the missing question.

  After a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will the tariffs lead to a recession?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also consider US citizens living or traveling abroad and their ability to criticize their government, and former US residents who’ve since left for good, and citizens of another nation who may know as much or more about history related to America and its politics but don’t actually intend to visit.

  As the cons continue gatekeeping their critics, let’s decide whether elthe entire world has the right to an opinion.
