One of the Temple’s first actions was to perform a “pink mass” in which gay couples made out over the grave of the mother of Fred Phelps, founder of the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church, and declared her a lesbian.
Only weak pansy cars have crumple zones. Back in my day, the cars were built stronger. You could run over a cat and barely feel it. Head on collision? I could drive away from those, provided the engine block didn't end up in the passenger space. These modern cars just give up and die, and the mandatory seat belts just trap you inside instead of being safely thrown clear of the vehicle. AMERICAN STEEL! LEADED GASOLINE! I YEARN FOR THE GOOD OL DAYS!
If it was exclusively filled with twatwaffles like DeSantis, I would agree. But there's a shitton of people that were born there, have nothing to do with the policies (if not actively voting against the people enacting them), and don't have the resources to up and leave.
I've been pondering this one myself for awhile. I knew a decade ago that, barring massive financial change, I would never be able to afford to retire. So these are the options:
Work until I die
Work until I can't (or nobody will hire me/pay a living wage), live off of savings until I can't, then die
Stop working, live off of savings until I can't, then die
The first two are the default and just kind of accepted by society as fair and just. The last one, strangely, gets all sorts of pushback, even though the only material difference is 20-30 years of mundane toil to make line go up.

Given what I've read previously from @SatansMaggotyCumFart, this is where I'm leaning. But I do agree with the chode designation, mostly because that's what they seem to be aiming for half the time. I mean, that's one hell of a username.
Added to the post, thanks. A friend sent it to me, I got a chuckle, then I posted here. I made sure the credits weren't cropped out (because that's a thing apparently) but didn't go further than that. No malice intended on my part.
My purpose is to create excess value to be harvested by shareholders in exchange for numbers in a computer that define my worthiness to continue to exist.
This is one of the first movies I bought as an "adult." DVDs were barely a thing back then, and the VHS was long out of print... so when I saw it in a used video shop I snapped it up, even at $40.
Historically, I've perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
The world has no shortage of grandmas in their 40s, still looking fine, and are not reprehensible. Narrow your search down to ones that will give you a handy in a theater and, well, options are suddenly more limited.
I used to inhale Chipotle, the barbacoa in particular. Sometime before Covid, all the ones around here went to shit. Less flavor, more salt. Twas a major bummer.
Edit: rubbing salt in the wound, I just found out that my dinner is reheated Qdoba.
While it may be dated, I don't believe there will ever come a time when it's not relevant. If I'm ever wrong about that... it's probably time to bust out the good champagne.
I tried to explain this AT a party once to people I didn't know at all. They thought I was pulling their leg. And I somehow doubt they even noticed when I left due to spoon depletion.

Certainly sounds like it. The whole issue was that if year was a two-digit value, it was always interpreted as 19xx. Some systems were updated to require 4-digit years, but many (especially older, niche systems, which plenty of airlines still operate on) just kicked the can down the road. Some made a new static cutoff date for determining 19/20 that someone will have to fix in X years, or a range based on the current date, which sounds like what happened here. Birthdate stored as 25? That means 1925. Birthdate stored as 23? That means 2023.
Any coders out there want to deal with decades-old tech debt for the remainder of your career? Pick up COBOL and live the dream.
I think my phrasing was a bit poor. To my knowledge, there aren't many COBOL jobs out there. I don't believe there's much of anyone using it for active development anymore. But there's plenty of places running on legacy back ends that have nobody to turn to when it breaks. The folks who wrote it retired years ago, and there's fewer and fewer people left with the skills to maintain it (some of whom may or may not have been in the latest round of layoffs for Company X). The value, IMO, is being The Guy when something goes pear-shaped, and someone says, "Hey, I know a guy..." Then you get to go in as a consultant/contractor and look at un-commented spaghetti code last modified in 1973 and go to town. Do a good job and they'll call you first next time. And if it breaks enough, then they might offer a position.
Meanwhile, the one who wrote it is off somewhere sipping Metamucil, possibly musing about how back in '96 they submitted a report that said the company really should migrate off of the platform, but nooooooo that was too expensive/complex/inconvenient.
