I hear you. The main reason I could never work fast food or retail is the first time some mook put a hand on me or threatened me, I’d lay them out so hard you’d have to ship a cardiac defib machine to the afterlife to have any hope of bringing them back.

Being at work wouldn’t make me tolerate that any more than I already do, which is not at all, ever.

Something people in non-enterprise businesses need to understand:
If you plug in a server in a data center you run, install+configure an OS, add DNS entries for it, install an application, and support the users – you have experience across five different enterprise job positions.

And according to many people, if you do it in a small company, you have no experience at all! I’ve worked in large, medium and small companies, and at least in IT I can tell you it’s much, much easier working in a large company.

A medium-sized company is easier, too, but there you get noticed more and generally have more responsibilities.

A small company is the hardest of all, though, because often it’s just you. Where I work now if I can’t figure a problem out, guess who will? Fucking no one, that’s who. At large and medium companies there are often entire teams I can ask when I run into a barrier or just can’t make progress on a problem. But as I said, at a small place I have 20 different roles and I have to be good at every single one of them.

At large companies, I’ve had 1 or 2 roles and honestly I didn’t have to be good at them to succeed. It’s very weird to me, then, when someone tells me that experience at small companies is worth less or nothing because that’s exactly the opposite of the truth.

Very often I read someone arguing that the government should do something (eg censorship) where in the writer's imagination "the government" seems to mean "an angel of perfect judgement that agrees with me on everything". https://t.co/T2fltEK8di

So true. Moronic progressives never seem to understand that the same tools they wield against hateful people (most often, people they just dislike) are going to be wielded against them, but even harder.

This is classic, by the way, in regards to Mozilla’s sliminess:

“Mozilla’s new addon blocking process literally starts with a section called Security Over Choice, which was not in the old one.”

What a bunch of waste-of-breath fucking dipshits. I will book my airline ticket to piss on their front door the very day they cease operations.

I took networking classes last year. Can confirm that basically 80% of the students weren’t (and probably still aren’t) able to create a simple user account from a Linux terminal. https://t.co/HDH5Llnmlb

This isn’t, generally, a networking skill so that’s not too surprising. I know tons of networking people who have never used Linux.

However, the general point is taken and I agree.

useradd usernamehere is how you add a user at the CLI in Linux, by the way. There are a whole assload of switches you can use, too, if you are so inclined. man useradd will tell you what they are.

In a networking class, it’s much more likely you’d need to add a user to a Cisco device however, so for that you’d do something like:

username funkyrabbit privilege 15 secret mydamnpassword

Which would be far more relevant to know than the above Linux plaint and it’s dissimilar enough that knowing how to do it in Linux tells you nearly nothing relevant.

James Carville is against doing anything about student debt. Carville went to LSU in 1965. The blogger couldn’t find LSU tuition more recent than 2003, but I managed to find it going back to 1967 for that school.

And, check this out, tuition in 1967 was $25 dollars per semester. That’s $203 per semester in today’s dollars. In other words, shit-for-brains Carville went to LSU when it was basically free.

LSU tuition back to 1967:

Georgia to purge over 300,000 voters from rolls ahead of 2020 election.

Well, Florida doesn’t even have to bother purging me. They won’t let me register at all for unknown reasons.

The left’s view of nationalism is utterly absurd. It’s more Saturday morning cartoon than fact.

Nationalism allows a polity to act as one to do things that would otherwise be impossible, such as the New Deal or fighting WWII.

When you wish for the death of nationalism, be careful what you wish for. You may well get it. And then there goes most social protections and safety net, no Green New Deal, definitely not Medicare for All. Can the left really be this clueless? Yes, yes they can.
