SLC has it tougher than most urban areas surrounded by rural religious blight.

I have a coworker who named a file template after the person they were sending the file to. I cannot follow the logic.

It isn’t their fault, but it did happen.

In similar vein to what others have posted:

I think you’re describing a combination of stress and preoccupation. I suggest looking into mindfulness as a way to start helping with both.

If it’s more than that and you have healthcare, both a Dr visit and psychiatry visit to discuss with a professional could be helpful.

Clever reference to Dr Dre’s 1985 hit single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from his debut album Simple Minds. Truly is an unforgettable classic.

I suspect the point is not wether it is true but that it could be a message along the lines of a headline like “Does Tesla have a bedbug problem?”

Provide a public service?

I get where you’re coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as “never again”.

Barrett doesn’t lose though, their opinion has absolutely no effect on her.

She is either an ideologue, in which case her opinion is all that matters, or she’s up for sale, in which case this can drive up her bargaining price.

Unless she cares what the rabble thinks for some other reason I’m unaware of.

He would be a billionaire if he didn’t give so much away.

So it doesn’t turn into yogurt?

My fridge isn’t full of raw milk or anything, but I think this goose is a better fit for the oven than guard duty.

It’s a little like surgery but much easier than removing your own appendix (depending on the laptop).

I think the dual boot problems are generally associated to using the same drive. If you have one drive for each you can use BIOS to control boot order instead.

My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it’s correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.

It costs less money than hosting a payment processing center. By an order of magnitude.

Hmmm, I wonder if they’re conflating processed foods and red meat again?

Yep:

Eating processed red meat (such as sausages, bacon, hotdogs and salami) was linked to a 16% higher risk of dementia and a faster rate of cognitive ageing. Eating about two servings of processed red meat a week raised the risk of dementia by 14% compared with those who ate less than about three servings a month. (A serving is a piece of meat roughly the size of a deck of playing cards – around 85g.)

If people substituted processed red meat protein for that found in nuts, tofu or beans, they could reduce their dementia risk by 19%, the study found.

A review of studies, published in 2023, found that people who ate lots of ultra-processed foods (of all kinds – not just processed meats) had a 44% higher risk of dementia

Advocate of the police state gets killed by the police state.

Critics of the police state pointing and laughing doesn’t mean they’re suddenly fans.

The full order, which provides the template this comes from.

Depending on the context, acquiescing and then not following orders can be quite effective as well, especially if you’re in a position of direct contact.

E.g., your supervisor instructs you to do something like take down the company DEI site? Say no, get fired… Or say yes, and just don’t do it. You forgot, it’s a cached version, etc. Eventually you have to take it down and then a month later when the site updates it’s back. Someone must’ve left it in the update package.

Be creative, be active. Anyone who wants to gaslight the world is owed nothing but deception and disrespect.
