Someone in IT trolled me for over a decade. Have I any recourse?
Goddamn. Not trolling. That’s targeted harassment and abuse. And it is insane. Recourse is some camo facepaint and a big-ass knife. Anything else would be uncivilized.

Long Covid — according to Ian Welsh and other absolute clowns — was supposed to have ended civilization by now. And while it has its challenges, I still see me some civilization goin’ on.
Why does anyone at all listen to Welsh and those type of doofs anymore? Just why?
Boeing and its shills are probably going to paraphrase Sheriff Ed Tom Bell from No Country for Old Men about this.
Boeing: Seems like this ol’ boy died of natural causes.
Everyone else: Natural causes?
Boeing: Natural for the line of work of being a whistleblower against an amoral corporation.
America Is a Heartbeat Away From a War It Could Lose.
Indeed it is. We just aren’t building enough. Need tons more (heh) attack subs — at least 15 — as well as drones, missiles, support ships, artillery shells, JDAMs, etc. We must get to making this stuff before it’s too late.
And soon, it will be too late.
What “other duties as directed” have you been directed to do, that have nothing to do with IT?
Fire someone and escort them out of the building. The person being canned was not even in IT, but was a bit unstable.
The person who had me do the unsavory task knew that I didn’t mind if things got violent (they did not) is why. But still, not something IT should be doing.
My thoughts on TikTok is that it’s a full-on propaganda and surveillance arm of the CCP and it’s like if we had allowed the KGB to control CBS during the Cold War. It’s insane.
Even if TikTok not dissolved completely (the best solution), it should be seized and run by Americans and not allowed to be a CCP agitprop arena that actively surveils and propagandizes to Americans on behalf of an already-belligerent foreign power. How can we be so braindead about this?
Why Does Romance Now Feel Like Work?
I have not read either of these books, but a lot of what the complaints of women boil down to these days is that they are finally being treated substantially (but not completely) like men in the dating market. And it turns out that in fact despite what they claim to want that, no, they do not like this. Because who would? Dating for men is absolute hell. Also, there is a whole lot of “Feminism for thee, but not for me” going on as well.
As with men, combine entitlement, absurd expectations and the desire for dominance rather than equality and you get nothing pretty.
Maybe one day I’ll read either or both of these books. But one thing I can commiserate with women on (despite their near infinite choice compared to men) is that yes, dating sucks and I’m glad to not be doing that.
I was wrong about defense spending. We need to be spending a lot more than we are. A lot, lot more. A war with China is coming and we just do not have enough ships and materiel, particularly in the Pacific Fleet.
We should be building subs, destroyers, missiles and support ships like crazy mad now. Our defense budget should be double — both to combat China and for Ukraine. Keeping Russia from invading the Baltics and Poland will be imperative as well.
You’re an adult. You can do whatever the fuck you want. This has to be a Gen Zer here, afraid of the light. As I was talking with my partner the other day I observed, accurately, that younger millennials and Gen Z have become the socially inept, isolated computer nerds we used to be but no longer are. But it’s happened to a whole generation-and-a-half of people. Seriously, the interpersonal skills of Gen Z folks are fucking terrible as they have retreated into phones and social media and can barely talk to anyone and cannot handle confrontation at all.
But as to being an adult, Baby Queen said it best.
