Have you reached out to your local “community?” If not or you don’t even know, then check out FetLife; lots of local lifestyle groups all over, and they are typically very open/understanding when someone is new, exploring, or just curious. Any legitimate group will typically have “vanilla” meetups to discuss everything and vet people at a restaurant or coffeeshop or something.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s not easy.

Eh, I’m with unexposedhazard on this one. From my anecdotal past experiences working at nearly all type of civilian organizations over the years; the average person is remarkably uninformed/lacking knowledge or interest in infosec, then doubles down on it when shown they have vulnerabilities. But like the article references, unfortunately, the US has previously been caught spying on allies and citizens alike (ex. bugging Merkel’s phone and the illegal wiretapping of US citizens by the NSA).

Slightly off topic, but if you are receiving any disability benefit payments from SSI please make sure to get in touch with the social security administration to get the process of switching it to just your name and to a separate account at a different bank than you family uses (just prevents the off chance they find a way to access your account if a banker doesn’t do their job correctly).

Agreed :(

Wish people would get over the whole “Oh that’s just politics/a smear campaign” or “I don’t talk politics” when anyone tries to discuss the US public officials’ actions or provide a different view (politicians, institutions, policy, etc) since it effects our everyday lives. Met too many deniers the past few years about first lady cheeto’s actions.

I’m pretty sure you’re joking but, just in case, here’s a list last updated in 2019 from PBS. As they say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire; if there’s this many sexual assaults that have been publicly reported, then there will always be more who won’t come forward.

At a minimum he’s a Quagmire level sex pest (sex/dopamine addict), but let’s be honest, dude is a serial rapist. I’d argue this is where he falls since it’s obvious he cares only for himself to the point that he raped his own wife (Ivana Trump) and treats women like toys to be used.

“Butt fuck Egypt (BFE),” when referring to being in the middle of nowhere or the far edges of a parking area. For example, Sally complained to her friend in the food court, “I had to park all the way in BFE. I’m dreading the walk back to the car.”

I would definitely recommend reading the full article. There’s all kinds of hilarious tidbits. Like that the Cooler Screens ceo Arsen Avakian’s leadership seems to be rather fiscally disastrous wherever he goes. Or my favorite bit:

Avakian discussed the concept that would become Cooler Screens with friends in Chicago business circles, including Wasson [co-founder of Cooler Screens]. As head of Walgreens from 2009 to 2015, Wasson is most remembered for overseeing its fraught international merger with Alliance Boots, a European chain. But he also bet on technology, gussying up its pharmacies with tablets, acquiring e-tailer Drugstore.com and leading the company’s $140 million investment in a then-promising startup called Theranos. (Oops.)

Jeepers fucking creepers, you would think that Walgreens/ big corporations in general would do some kind of background investigation or get a PI to find out if they have any skeletons in their closets that would prove fiscally harmful if entered into an agreement. Their total lack of operational security and basically saying ‘Yes, Daddy, please?’ when presented with an opportunity from the same guy that dragged the company into the whole Theranos debacle is flabbergasting.

Wasson set up a demo meeting with billionaire Stefano Pessina, Walgreens’ largest shareholder and his successor as CEO, with whom he remained friendly after departing the pharmacy chain. “‘We’re not tech guys,’” Avakian remembers the Walgreens team saying. “‘Prove it to us.’” He and Wasson say that based on their PowerPoint presentation, the company approved a six-store pilot program for 2018.

A fucking POWERPOINT is all it took even after Theranos to convince them of this boondoggle.

I very much imagine it would be. It’s the same as when they put ‘gluten free’ on ridiculous stuff like raw meat, packaged raw vegetables, raw nuts, and the list goes on…

Nearly all your major appliances in your home have a filter that needs replaced or cleaned on a regular basis (fridge, HVAC system, dishwasher, dryer, etc.). Doing so and doing a quick clean of the appliance will improve its efficiency, life span, and most importantly save you on your electric bill.

Not sure where the filter is or what maintenance to do? A quick Google search of “how to clean fridge filter” or “where is the air filter for my heat pump” should start to give you an idea of what needs done.

No, the day of. My mom had made a big deal about taking pictures and making a big family brunch before she left. I was alone at my grandfather’s house and getting to watch TV while playing a MMO simultaneously. Amazing day, until the phone call that upended everything.

That fateful day in July 2009. Parents were hit by a guy who was fucked up by a shopping list of drugs. Mom dead, the family that was quickly fell apart. She was no longer around to help hide my father’s alcoholism. Not even 6 months after her death, a foul harpy of a female human latched on to him and only encouraged the worst parts of him while slowly doing everything she could to remove or erase his family.

Wrong parent died that day.

Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).

As hilarious it is to see him face at least some kind of repercussions for the awful excuse of a human he is, this should be no surprise Mr Racist Bloodmoney has a problem with following the rules like the majority of humanity and cheats anytime he can (the rich dont get/stay rich by playing fair)

That’s just salaried folks though. The vast majority of american workers are hourly or contractors. Per the Dept of Labor’s own site:

The Wage and Hour Division is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the welfare of the nation’s workforce with a focus on low-wage, underserved workers. In fiscal year 2023, we successfully recovered over $274 million in back wages and damages for more than 163,000 workers nationwide.

Wage theft is when employers don’t properly pay their employees and is a HUGE problem because it isn’t always out of malevolence, it can be as simple as the time clock not properly computing overtime, etc.

If you don’t think that $274 million is large amount, think about how the vast majority of these things never get reported to the authorities; that number should be higher.

That wasn’t the point I was making.
