As a non-drinker of coffee

the rest of your opinion is moot. you have no say in this because you don’t understand the concepts behind coffee.

I had to stop drinking coffee for health reasons. it was fucking awful. drank a cup a day for decades. I couldn’t function properly even six months later.

eventually I started drinking decaf, it helped.

you know why? the routine. the caffeine content is abysmally low but it comforts me first thing in the morning. It’s probably the same for many coffee drinkers.

so really, do you want to inhabit a world where at least HALF of the people you know start their day out on the wrong side?

You are misunderstanding how the system is supposed to work.

no, I think you have the misunderstanding of how it actually works.

We have a responsibility to vote, but no candidate is owed a vote.

given the choice, you want your genitals mutilated or your head removed? if you choose nothing then you get both. technically you don’t need to chose, but it’s in your best interest to make the choice that allows you to survive.

The government is meant to execute the will of the people. That’s why we live in a democracy. That means that the government is supposed to work for you. The politicians are supposed to essentially be public workers that are hired via votes of the citizens.

a government is not meant to execute the will of the people. a government is meant to control and maintain a society. the people are to control the government through their will to ensure the society supports the will of the people. Unfortunately, some people forgot this and have refused to participate in the will, IE voting, and have weakened our society to the point of fracturing.

politicians are not social workers, they care about maintaining control and exerting their will on the people. the job of the people is to ensure their elected officials reflect what the goals and will of the people are. Unfortunately, some people forgot this and have refused to participate in the will, IE voting, and have weakened our society to the point of fracturing.

your views on governance and politics is so antiquated and skewed you can’t even see what’s going on in front of you because you’re so blinded by the past.

“its not fair, the gubamint should be like dis!”

No one is owed our votes. They are supposed to earn it.

no one is owed freedom, no one is owed liberty. You are supposed to fucking earn it by participating in the election and helping us move this ship away from disaster.

this election was like playing tug of war with the helm and having half of our supporters watch from the side complaining about how, “we didn’t want to go this way so we’re not going to stop the ship from crashing into those rocks.”

at one time I had hope for the future but now I can see I was wrong. We’re doomed, not by the corruption, not by the sadistic megalomania, but from arrogance and apathy that flows from lazy Americans.

cool.

pipeline schedules. once a month I clone the remote repo into a local branch, and push it back to my repo with an automatic merge request assigned to me. review & merge kicks off build pipeline.

I also use pipeline schedules to do my own ddns to route 53 using terraform. runs once every 15 minutes.

also once a week I’ve got about 50 container images I cache locally that I build my own images from.

someone got their Egyptology degree from Queen Cleopatra.

Egypt was actually pretty well mixed between lower Saharan Africans, Greeks, Turks, etc. that’s because Egypt was a trusted trade route between many successful economies around the Mediterranean sea.

self-hosted gitlab.

I love it. I can clone external repos on a schedule and build my projects based on my local cache. I’m even running some automation tasks like image deployments out of it too.

we don’t either.

are we talking shooting up in an old abandoned factory bad, or “mom help I got my dick stuck in a fish.” bad?
