  • Not exactly - those were strategic hacks designed to sway public opinion and engage a legal enforcement apparatus that proved to be toothless.

    However, tactical hacks doxxing the rank and file combined with subsequent community action could have an enormous effect. Removing the masks of these thugs is key to protecting the innocents they're targeting. After all, it's our right as citizens to know who's working for the government - we're the ones paying their salaries.

    As I said in a previous comment in response to a statement similar to yours, know thy enemy, for he lives among us.

    Also, you posted this comment three times for some reason.

  • Counterpoint - it's not about exposing the powerful. Everyone already knows the evil shit they're doing.

    It's about doxxing their rank and file and making sure we know who these masked thugs are.

    They know where we live, and we pay their salary. Why shouldn't we know where they live and what they're doing to our community?

    Know thy enemy, for he lives among us.

  • Sauce? Because that ain't the Duat:

    In order to receive judgement the dead journeyed through the various parts of the Duat to be judged. If the deceased was successfully able to pass various challenges, then they would reach the Judgment of the dead. In this ritual, the deceased's first task was to correctly address each of the forty-two Assessors of Maat by name, while reciting the sins they did not commit during their lifetime. After confirming that they were sinless, the heart of the deceased was weighed by Anubis against the feather of Maat, which represents truth and justice. Any heart that is heavier than the feather failed the test, and was rejected and eaten by Ammit, the devourer of souls, as these people were denied existence after death in the Duat. The souls that were lighter than the feather would pass this most important test, and would be allowed to travel to Aaru.

    The Duat is not equivalent to the conceptions of Hell in the Abrahamic religions, in which souls are condemned with fiery torment. The absolute punishment for the wicked, in ancient Egyptian thought, was the denial of an afterlife to the deceased, ceasing to exist in the intellectual form seen through the devouring of the heart by Ammit.

    Upvote tho in advance because it's been awhile since I had the urge to peruse the Book of the Dead...

  • Anyone else notice a lack of Cinco de Mayo celebration this year?

  • The why (ICE) is pretty clear. I was really more interested in where - how widespread is this?

    Because honestly, the silence is chilling. It feels like the day is being smothered in this blanket of lukewarm fear.

  • Gen X here. There has been huge shift in office culture, and the generational shift from boomers out of it has led to a completely different experience, with the biggest shift being in the decrease in overt misogyny and outbursts of anger. Most of my worst bosses were from this generation, including one individual that would literally start screaming and hitting the wall when something went wrong.

    Their generation is marked by a lack of impulse control and a deep inner rage that can often be triggered by trivial inconveniences. They also seem to have a vindictiveness to them that I never really understood, holding grudges far past their expiration date. This is in significant contrast to their parents' generation, which, for all its problems, always seemed to treat us Gen X folks kindly.

  • Nah, just say the plague will ravage the land, war will last for another seventy years, and you're the only hope of salvation - that pretty much sums up the late 1300s. Then just get your followers off the battle lines, adopt a bunch of cats to keep the rat problem at bay, and practice basic sanitation and isolation - what we learned during COVID.

    Within a couple of years, yours will be the only thriving community. Play your cards right, stay peaceful, prosperous, and show deference to the church and you'll be pretty much set. Might even wrangle a sainthood if you play your cards right.

    /s to all this of course... most likely I'd just use my extensive knowledge of porn and poetry to try and charm a noblewoman to take care of me.

  • If you're looking to get to California, have your husband check out PG&E - they're almost always actively hiring linemen at that rate - usually higher. You can make it here on $100k relatively comfortably if you're smart with your $.

    There's still racism here, but it's nowhere near what you see on the east coast - less institutional, at least in Northern California - this changes depending on how far inland you go. SoCal is considerably more tribal, and the LAPD has a bad history when it comes to race relations, but still not on the same level as WV.

    My particular jenga piece was an Access query that none of my predecessors had deigned to document or even tell me about... but was critical to run monthly or you had obsolete data embedded deep within multi-million dollar reports.

    Thank god I don't work on salary anymore, or I'd be really upset.
