ACA

Watching all the liberals mumblingly defend Obamacare like itโ€™s some great thing is pretty embarrassing.

For them, at least.

Sorry, I just canโ€™t get behind a complete giveaway to insurance companies no matter if it helped some people.

So now weโ€™re stuck with it and with little chance of anything better.

Good job, I guess?

Through the roof

Probably in 98%+ of the cases where someone claims they were โ€œroofied,โ€ they werenโ€™t.

It was just alcohol. Anyone who knows how to pour too much alcohol into a mixed drink can โ€œroofieโ€ someone, especially someone who is not accustomed to having 4x-10x as much alcohol in the same size drink.

Most of the symptoms that people are claiming are a result of roofies are just alcohol poisoning, and not characteristic of rohypnol or any other similar drug.

And now some people who canโ€™t read will think I am somehow excusing the rapes that occur afterward.

Iโ€™m not.

Itโ€™s a sign of the rape culture that we live in that a woman must claim some extenuating circumstance for her rape to โ€œcount.โ€ My contention that the rape counts no matter what. It doesnโ€™t matter if the woman is stone sober or passed the fuck out. It counts.

I just like knowing the truth of things, despite whoever it offends. Iโ€™ve found the truth is always better than the fiction.

If some people are helped by the fiction, thatโ€™s fine. It just doesnโ€™t help me.

Shortage

There is no shortage of tech workers.

Some more proof of this is that recruiters nowadays often wonโ€™t even consider you if you havenโ€™t used the exact product version number of the tech that they want to hire for.

For instance, say that you are an expert on version 5. Version 5.1 comes out, which is 99.9% identical. Recruiters will only consider you if youโ€™ve used (or are certified) on version 5.1, not 5.0, despite the differences taking less than 30 seconds to learn.

I first started looking into and getting hired for tech jobs in the late 90s, early 2000s, and it was so much easier to get a job then โ€“ even after the web bust.

There is absolutely no shortage of tech workers anywhere in the US.
