(Sincere) are you implying that these pictures are the elite/upper class and the counter narrative is more the norm of the time?

Edit: nvm, other comments in the feed seem to add further context.

But that first purge feels so healthy though!

Not challenging just clarifying; Is your speculation extending to suggest that the larger demographic of porn consumers online are adolescents? Or more that the “step-*” joining the family set a longer term influence? (Or something else entirely…?)

I appreciate your work. (sincerely)

I have an extension on this, in that a triple tap on the switch by the doors, will also lock the doors after 60 seconds.

I have a MikroTik Router providing DHCP to the various networks on my homelan. Each device seems to get a regular host name collision, and so the router appends a number to the end of the existing host name. My computer is currently called “Machine-8272537”. I tried fixing it a few times, setting different timeout/lease time parameters and disabling “privacy protection” on the devices, but nothing fixes it. Been like this 3 years now. I just kinda ignore it.

I use Blocky. I switched from PiHole because I didn’t have need for all the features (DHCP, Dashboard) and honestly it was a slow day and I had nothing better to do.

Googling everything gets boring though. I learned something today from your question :)

I hope you don’t mind my asking; what’s the nature of the peer pressure to participate you’re facing?

Not necessarily the direction you had in mind - for whatever it may be worth; I’m studying to become a HVAC technician.

I’m nearly 30 years into my tech career. After 3 months of the rigmarole of trying to get a new role post layoff, I’ve decided to throw in the hat. Love tech and comp sci, cannot face another asinine call about “non-regrettable attrition”, “more with less”, “right way to do scrum” — nor solve a pangram, design a parking garage or other leet code challenges just to get 2 hours into a 9 hour interview cycle. I’m so dammed tired. And apparently needed a little rant. Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do next!

Yeah, it’s not bad at all. For context, I’m Senior Staff with > 25yrs experience living in a M/HCOL area, so it’s on the low side. Honestly I’m fine with the base, it’s the casual indifference to the inconvenience, and there’s something about the “cheapness” of the way it’s rewarded that niggles me. Not terrible, not great!

My employer is suuuper generous. I get a “shout out” on Slack, and if it’s a big incident my slack profile photo appears on a slide at the company all-hands and the CEO graciously extends his thanks. Sometimes he might even say my name!

I’m on call every 3rd week, no cap on time, usually 3 to 5 people (cross teams). base salary $175k US, no RSUs or 401(k).

I want a new job but not getting many resume bites at the moment.

Sun bed/Tanning salons always got my suspicions!
