o One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

o The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

o One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

o The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

o Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

o People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

o Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

If you believe the above, you too can be a member of the TST!

Alternate RELIGION ( not “religion” ) give women a choice about their body after consulting with licensed medical professionals instead of depending on politicians to decide their choices for them.

Fix the titled for you.

Full disclosure my religion is the TST. Have a certificate and everything!

It’s going to help those tired hurricanes! Duh!

I don’t have a younger sister I have to share clothes with.

And they were never heard from AGAIN! Oooooooo It is horror month, and that’s pretty scary! :-D

All I hear is

“Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”.

<crisis that affects me> " WE NEED HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT".

All while all the other assholes that aren’t affected going “Government bad! Government bad! Government bad!”

And Vance and all the others making up stories and admitting to making up stories to help…just help someone else.

Truth is, it’s all a scam to begin with. So sounds like they’re nailing it.

Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I’ve been playing Enshrouded instead. But I’ll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

No no no you misunderstand. They’re so American that we can’t understand how American it is to overthrow a democracy… wait … yeah no they’re just assholes.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn’t allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn’t value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I’m totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don’t have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I’ll take your money, I’ll never again kill myself as I’ll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren’t worth it. People are.

LOVE my Jellyfin.

Buy a good inexpensive TV. The manufacturer can make them cheap because they’re losing money and hoping to gain it back with ads and analytics. Don’t connect it to the internet. Get a Steam deck or small form factor PC (Intel NUC or variant) install Linux, profit.

I’ve bought a few small form factor PCs, and again Steam Deck works great, for $300 and then a great TV. And I don’t have to put up with any ads, any crap applications that barely work, it’s just browsing ANY website I want, playing ANY PC game I want. It’s honestly the best outcome and I’ll never go back at this point.

Don’t let yourself accept the subpar TV applications that are just a website with awful frontends, that run like shit and that the companies creating these apps have 0 incentive to make properly because their app isn’t there for a good experience. It’s there to track you, just like the TV.

WHEN IT’S TIME TO PARTY WE’LL ALL PARTY HARD!

I LOVE this bit:

"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."

We’re hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!

A lot of GOP voters don’t really care about facts sadly. I’ve talked to some that insist Jan 6th wasn’t an issue.

Pays $40 billion to allow people to be shadow toxic. What an amazing innovator in our midsts. We’re all just so jealous we wish we could be so genius …

Fucking moron.

Not all companies NEED cloud and containers. But execs push it anyway. That’s my point. As I said, they have actual use, but not EVERYONE NEEDS this shit. It’s just tech-bros telling us we need it and execs being too stupid to know otherwise.

Oh shit, already forgot

The next big thing is “investing” in NFTs!

The next big thing is moving all of your servers to the cloud!

The next big thing is moving all of your software to containers!

The next big thing is moving all of your money to crypto!

The next big thing is moving everything to AI!

Yes we’re in ANOTHER tech gold rush. Not saying these things don’t have their place, but the tech industry is infatuated with the next big thing and burning through money and the ones that get burnt are the average working folks. Ask me how I know, currently in year two of a hiring and pay freeze as AWS isn’t as cheap as predicted… Who could have fucking guessed? They mean besides everyone but the CTO that’s fucking who!
