What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least … four times bigger.

Thanks, I’ll give this one the chop!

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office … I was gobsmacked because I’d been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

I didn’t have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the “if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward” line of thinking.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a “junior technician” … the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat’s nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it’s raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was “made redundant”, leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

You didn’t mention, but they have a good line in scapegoating LGBT people too. They follow Russia as close as possible on that front.

Hey, my wife and her sister moved away about 12 years ago … it was absolutely the right thing for both of them.

Anyone even halfway intelligent is better off moving away from Hungary. I feel sorry for those who can’t speak a foreign language and thus are stuck there.

They were both in their respective shows so that people could laugh at them, not with them.

That’s the motivations of the character, he was in a dress in a comedy so that people could laugh at him.

Klinger wants to get classified as crazy by wearing dresses, which implies that wearing different clothes is a sign of mental illness. Herr Flick gets sexual gratification from wearing women’s clothes, thus implying that wearing different clothes is something only a sexual deviant would do. Both of these stereotypes continue to be used to harm Trans women.

Mash and Allo Allo both have no shortage of jokes about cross-dressing and plenty of casual sexism. Fawlty Towers … is also a product of it’s time, any good parts get outweighed by the bad parts.

There’s also an episode where Quark undergoes gender reassignment in order to close a deal, which is played for laughs and includes lines about women being sensitive because of their hormones. It sticks out because it’s just horrible, while she show is generally good.

If you say so, I watched an early trailer for Death Stranding and haven’t paid it any attention since I’m not keen on games with combat.

It’s fun, you play as a woman who can turn into a bird and have to explore, solve basic puzzles, and there’s a good story. It’s just short and simple.

I’d like to try it, but I don’t have a supported device yet … I’ve played at least one indie game with a similar feel and really enjoyed it, but it was short and simple so I didn’t get lost in the world

I would like something halfway between Snowrunner and European Truck Simulator, with a well written single player RPG story mode where you get to help people by delivering stuff.

Or, something like Breath of the Wild only without fighting.

Or both.

That too :-/

Some people have limited bandwidth for downloads, and a simple program can run to more space than a basic distro.
