Native Norwegian, fluent English, proficient Danish and Swedish, intermediate German, basic mandarin.

Oh, and I know a lot of Spanish curse words

Maybe, and some might even engage in dating that involves age gaps.

Introducing the next generation of OS: Microsoft OS AINT^TM

Combines the best features of NT with an AI agent that offloads everything onto onedrive. Requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account to boot, but that’s OK; once the kernel and the drivers are loaded, you can spend two hours in a dos prompt to be able to load files locally

An exceptionally blue midterm this year. Not gonna happen this time around, as it needs a majority far beyond what is achievable in just one midterm election, but the long term clue is to have people willing to hold him accountable, instead of a congress consisting of 50% yes-men.

There’s a lot of justified hate towards the dems, but believing voting for neither serves anyone but the doofus in charge is naive at best

I have to reluctantly agree with you - It was interesting to actually see events only alluded to in the others

Not that proud, as it’s a fairly trivial IT thing with niche elements. “Anyone” could do it, but there are so many different elements, all of which are trivial separately, that there aren’t a whole lot of people in the world who can do what I do because of the odd combinations.

So while my work is (mysterious and) important for the particular industry I’m in,I’m sure any IT geek with networking and linux experience could do it after a few years of training.

As for importance, kinda. The higher-ups consider it important enough to grant me every demand I stated when they tried to poach me from my previous employer. I was looking for an excuse to turn them down, but they agreed to everything. For example, my contract stipulates that any flight over four hours warrants business class.

My biggest point of actual pride is the fact that I got to where I am despite growing up on a dairy farm and never finishing hischool.

Fuck no

Seconding Paycheck. One of the few Affleck movies I like.

Terminator Salvation

While I’ve always liked the first two Terminator movies due to their Tech Noir aesthetics, I find that this one adds some important background to the world building in general. The story is for the most part interesting, and Christian Bale plays the role well.

Terminator III and any movies after Salvation can fuck right off, tho.

I often fly to the opposite side of the world just to push some buttons. And in return I get these universal vouchers in digital form associated with my name, so that I can later exchange them for goods and services originating on the other side of the world.

Here in scandinavia it’s a common sight in fall to see moose drunk off their asses, having eaten fermented fruit from the ground.

Agreed. When I die, I want nature to feed on me as I have fed on it. Ideally I’d be buried with a bunch of nuts and seeds, and maybe a tree will use me as a nutrient source, but that’s gonna be a gamble and hard to ensure happens, so instead I’ll settle with being buried with a bunch of maggots and fungal spores.

Nah, it’s not that good, but I can give you a censored version of the ending:

“I’m not homophobic, some of my best friends are f-slur !”. Works with any group of people and their slurs.

This is where I was tempted to respond with a joke, referencing your gender and sexual identity, as an example use of what I consider acceptable in this particular contex. While you would probably get the joke and not be offended by it, I have decided against it, since there are likely to be people stumbling in, not understanding the context, and taking offense to it. Audience matters, intentionally or not. Plus, the written form makes it harder to convey the humor in a manner that cannot be misunderstood.

Plus, I can only imagine the “this you?”-screenshots when I try to state explicitly that the boards I mod are against homophobia and transphobia, or anything similar.

I’d say it’s OK, provided that:

• The context makes it clear that it’s not meant to offend.
• The slur is actually needed. If the joke works without the slur, don’t.
• Limited (but diverse) audience who understand the humor at play and the people involved.

But then again, I am rarely the target of any slurs, so it’s not really up to me to decide.

Example: This coworker and I used to make jokes about each other’s background all the time. I was mumbling under my breath about how much I hated the paperwork involved in filing expense claims. He said something referencing my lowbrow hillbilly background and how it didn’t mesh well with paperwork. I offered him 10% of the payout if he used his Jewish superpowers and did the paperwork for me. There were maybe two or three others present, all of whom knew us and our dynamic well, and nobody called HR on either of us.

What do you use mega for? Just curious…

Obligatory; It’s called linux

I forgot the name, but someone in this thread mentioned an online service where you generate payment cards that allows you to pay for stuff with more privacy.

It certainly does. Which do you use?
