Yes, but boomers are a chunk of the reason that the rich and powerful continue to be able to grasp and maintain power.

If boomers ceased to exist tomorrow and elections were held, I think there’d be a good swing left. Not a total swing, but substantial.

I want to say no.

I have a few friends heavy into IT, years of experience, numerous jobs from big tech to startups. They’ve all had to touch windows.

As a contract engineer with over 30 gigs in my career, every single one also touched windows.

So…can you? Probably, but it’ll make the entire grind harder.

Frankly, my goal is to milk the corporations for as much money as possible - foregoing my own opinions - so I can gtfo this capitalist ride. That means playing nice with Microsoft, unfortunately.

Hey Canada, if you could sabotage these somehow so they’re useless and ICE becomes easier targets for American citizens that’d be awesome.

Kash Patel can suck bubba dick

When will the American people get violent?

Heads need to be rolling.

Yeah sorry I meant the people who think that it automatically means they can just drive like normal and that AWD automatically fixes the issue.

I hate people who say, “I have AWD/4WD, I’ll be fine”

That’s not how this works.

Good on them for foiling a raid!

I switched to Tidal myself, but I am not a big music consumer so my opinion isn’t worth a ton.

Any tips for quickly breaking or ruining these?

I have a 5W laser I was going to try, but someone made a good point that random reflections / refractions could harm a nearby innocent person.

I debated a paintball gun, but that damage isn’t really permanent enough.

“No doi”

So this was staged?

Another thread said that 99% of these professions are 50%+ female…so…that.

Having no context, I feel bad for those shot.

But, frankly, these sorts of events are going to increase and I 100% believe they should. Those in power need to fear for their lives and those trying to militarily support them need to question their allegiance.

I’d prefer she stay and continue to prod the Trump regime.

If she leaves we’ll just get a stronger Trump loyalist.

That was some convoluted whataboutism

Unfortunately the billionaires and corporations won’t be on the receiving end, it will be everyday people and small business owners.

So you’re saying my 5W laser could work? On it.

I used to loathe all things AI. I used to abhor AI coding agents, too.

I actually pushed back against some AI initiatives at some of my jobs.

Fast forward to now, AI does about 60%-80% of my work on a given day. It saves me boatloads of time. Coupled with figma and dev tools MCP servers, it sucks slightly less at CSS. I’ve cobbled together some pretty solid rulesets and tactics for context building that have recently let me tackle an entire month of work in ~2 days, meeting company best practices and code coverage and even gathering demo screen shots for me without me having to do it myself.

I probably spend about $500/month on various AI services now, but I’m cranking out at least 3x what I used to (and being paid commensurate to that output, only way to justify it). It can’t last forever but I have succumbed, reluctantly at first, if only to get what I can from it before it blows up.

As for AI image gen, no. Video? No. Anything ChatGPT or Grok related? No.

Can it be avoided if the remainder of the estate pays off the home?

Though I guess if that were the case maybe they wouldn’t have gotten a reverse mortgage to begin with…
