I pay $21,000 a year for lousy health insurance.
This is something that always puzzles me in this “debate” when people say, “How will we pay for Medicare for All?”
Motherfucker, you are already paying for it, and more. How is this not completely obvious to everyone? I guess because those expenses are invisible and also taken for granted.

Heh. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what specific Russian ship that was, but it does not at all look like an American one. That’s hilarious.
I need to figure out what's wrong with my resume.
I loaded up LinkedIn for some reason and it's suggesting I take entry level sysadmin jobs, which makes perfect sense for someone who has been doing professional software development for over a decade.— foone (@Foone) October 17, 2019
I have the opposite problem. In my resumé there is nearly nothing about programming, coding, or developing and yet I get recruiters sending me jobs for developer positions all the time. The latest one was for a Sr. Java developer. I have never once used Java, know almost nothing about the language itself, and have no interest in it at all. My resumé doesn’t have that keyword or anything vaguely similar to that.
It was probably an algorithmic error, but how can the algorithm be so atrocious?
distributing software in 2019 is stupid and hard https://t.co/c6g1tYGZtt

We ran into this same problem with the software my company distributes. I figured out the same thing. Yay, computing in 2019: problems are both nearly impossible to troubleshoot, and nearly incapable of being fixed, just so all the droolers don’t click on shit they should’ve never clicked on in a million years anyway. Meanwhile, a ton of other things break in an attempt at preventing your Uncle Milton from sending all his fucking money to Nigeria (and it doesn’t help, he sends it anyway).
Clippy was the first popular (as in many people saw it) instance of ceding computing to the droolers, yet it also causes feelings of nostalgia because at least Clippy could be banished, never to be seen again, while modern software and computers are just permanently broken. Firefox and such can no longer be fixed. Same with Windows 10 and now even MacOS.
Americans are the only people in the world who will tell you something is “impossible” and “could never happen” when it’s already happening all over the world and has been for years.
Examples: Public health care, free college, renewables, etc.
Blows my fucking mind.
I think cilantro tastes like soap and I still love it. What does that make me? Maybe I have another gene that cause me to love the taste of soap.
