you get paged for a sev2, after about an hour of recharge time, you can't do anything about it from home, so yo have to go into the data center, and when you reach out to the people who know what they're doing, you get told that they are busy with other tasks, and to just follow the normal procedure for device down. Which you don't know, because you've been working with a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SERVICE for a year.

Nights like this make me want to quit this job and go back to Desktop Support. At least there I was useful and appreciated and could fix things and be seen fixing things.

@Leucrotta why wouldn’t they?

@jakebe as far as I know, its voluntary disclosure, and you can't/shouldn't get in trouble for not answering. That said, I know that fear, and its totally valid.

"You do know you could find yourself charged with being a dominant species while under the influence of impulse driving consumerism, don't you?"

BTW: Good Omens is delightful and a roaring fun read so far. And the show is a lot of fun too. Too bad the fundies got Netflix to stop making more of it.

@Leucrotta it gets better. And I don’t lie.

-- Swimsuits are bullshit sometimes, but i need to get one that fits and can withstand the way I play. The pride-pandering impulse purchase was just a little bit too small to be comfortable or Rex enough for all these chocolate curves.

-- Diving after a 17 year gap has made me realized just how much my bio-frame has changed from the cached tactile map from my Varsity days. There are a couple of things there that weren't there the last time.

-- Feeling my tits bob and float on the surface at the shallow end is such a fun and silly feeling. I love it.

I forgot just how much fun playful immersion is. I haven't played water in 17 years. And I didn't realize how much I missed and needed it. I'm gonna be in the fabrication lab for a while. Gotta start speccing out a water-play frame and platform.

Oh shit, y'all. Strap the fuck in.

Disregard that. Stoned Kelsey over exaggerates often. Here are some more of her thoned stoughts:

-- Dade Murphy is a worthless, but attractive twink.
-- I paid attention to Kate Libby for way different reasons than I was supposed to.
-- Nikon and Cereal are the only (joking, not serious) acceptable OTP. Don't @ me

-- Good bio-family respects chosen family.
--The kids I watched this movie with in high school tried so hard to recreate the tribal vibe of the Hackers.
-- This movie shaped a lot of my heuristics for what is considered "friend shaped"

--"Voodoo People" is the song chosen for when hackers are being Hackers: using their knowledge and skills to manipulate the world around them like the trickster gods of old we have turned computer people into.
-- I wish the FBI comedic relief wasn't Black.
-- I remember the _/idea/_ of cyber clubs like Cyberdelia far more than the reality, except for in IRC RP chatrooms, where the theme was an actual cyberclub.
--It was a nice bit of payoff that Joey got to finish his hack and copy the whole garbage file. Shows growth during the character arc.

--When I was young, I thought dismissing Cereal to "fix the phones" was the removal of a silly comedic relief distraction from a life-and death situation. Then I remembered that /Cereal/ was the source of the "Technicolor Rainbow" library The sent him to fix the phones, cause he was the best one for the job. Even better than Phreak, who has been shows tricking the phone company repeatedly.

-- The smartest and dumbest coded characters are both Black. Nikon is shown figuring out code without the mystical fractals, he has a photographic memory, He plays chess against Jewish people in the park. He also has his own place, and can walk through Ellingson Mineral unmolested by security. Agent Gil is loud, obnoxious, is shown to be very in over his head and not understanding relevant terminology, gets embarrassed in public, and in private, multiple times, and stands in opposition to, and in fact, gets "killed" by the protagonists.

-- I wish Hackers was my introduction to Halcyon+On+On instead of Mortal Kombat

-- The ending scene feels so tacked on and forced. Probably forced to be there to satisfy a meddling executive.

-- Kate's pranks on Gill use the power of Gills position against him. Dade's pranks are cringy, shaming, and personal. And it is only by copying Kate's tactics and coding a virtual 187 on the motherfucking secret service agent, is awarded a pity tie. Attempting to show dominance, he demands molding Kate to his ideals in exchange for his submission. Kate, sick of his shit by now, decides to push right back and enforce her boundaries by transgressing on his, something Dade has been doing the whole movie. Dade gets trapped in a web of his own normative presentations, unable to back down with out looking "weak" but also unsure if his capabilities would be enough to allow him to prevail and thus preserve his Dadeness, untouched by feminine power.

-- Yelling "Trashing" and "Hack the Planet" while being shoved into an arrestmobile is a great show of using shared ideology combined with an understanding of similar thought processes enough to communicate securely while being monitored. Very, very good encryption.

-- Razer and Blade are adorable together and its sad seeing talented showmen forced to live at the whim of media production companies who are only wanting to cash in on the image and prestige of authenticity and local reputation in pursuit of profit.

Took a stab at it myself. Mostly happy with the rough outline, but the engineer in me wants to turn it into an actual object.

@irisjaycomics Good lift, Safe landing, friendo.

@irisjaycomics That is an incredible hat! What sort of lift can you get in a steady wind?

@orrery @mawr @ElectricKeet I’d like that a lot!

@orrery @mawr @ElectricKeet I’m okay with throwing online shopping up on a big screen! I can fashion show for you after the loot arrives.

@orrery @mawr Shopping Opprotunity! Would you be interested in helping pick some out?

@makyo@snouts.online @mawr as one of the river tribe’s hourly members, the 15$ minimum came with a limitation on future awards of restricted stock units. It didn’t remove any employee protections as far as I’m aware, though. But having also been on the contract-to-fire merry-go-round, Mawr assessment isn’t wrong.
