These are the people who are annoying and useless as shit in IT. Most coworkers I’ve had who are constantly getting certifications or attending conferences contribute very little in the way of work or knowledge. The information required to get those certifications goes in one ear and out the other for them. People like that are more interested in clout than anything.

Not to say anyone taking training or certifications is like this, but there is a specific type obsessed with these “markers” that spend the majority of their time chasing certifications and things of that nature.

On the flip side, I have a beast of a coworker who says she doesn’t do anything tech related outside of work to decompress and she’s easily one of our most productive and likable coworkers.

I understand it’s due to the rotten minds of small men, but it’s just so strange to me that they would spend so much time to create a problem that shouldn’t be a problem.

We have plenty of other legitimate problems that need addressing, but instead these idiots are going out of their way to oppress a small percentage of the population who aren’t doing any harm.

Don’t forget about his other grand accomplishments like MyFace or Pee Bibs!

What was the VPN service mentioned? The comment you replied to got removed.

I think in every single Indian movie I’ve seen (which is not a lot), the police are corrupt lol. Even in ones where the main character is a cop, the other police are corrupt.

…were they expecting a Witcher who fights constant life and death battles with literal monsters to not be scarred?

Not the person you’re responding to, but I think that the argument “we shouldn’t do X because no other animals do it” is a bad argument in general and overall weakens your position. Because there are plenty of things that humans do that animals don’t do that are good (like developing and applying vaccines for example).

There are plenty of other valid and good reasons to promote dairy alternatives (such as health or environmental reasons).

I use the same laptop bag for several trips a year, so I often don’t clear out all the pockets. The other day I realized I’ve been flying back and forth with a lighter I got from Vegas 2 years ago because it was buried at the bottom of a pocket. As for why the hell I had it in my laptop bag in the first place, I have no idea.

I would be surprised if they don’t already have this

The same amount of dumb you have to be to be “god fearing” and think that a treasonous, lying, cheating, adulterous, rapist of an orange baboon is some sort of messiah

I mean… Harvard did have connections to Epstein so it being a fraud of an institution that can be bought out by criminals isn’t that far fetched.
