All I had to do was to say that I could see five lights, when in fact, there were only four. […] I was going to. I would have told him anything. Anything at all. But more than that, I believed that I could see five lights.

I’m of the idea of not buying new tech ever again, with some exceptions on use case and rarity.

Instead, i’m a proponent of only buying 2nd hand or business surplus.

There are resume styles you can utilize that are fine with only one job in your history. Just research on the internet till you find one that works for you.

The key is to show growth. In IT, it’s a bit different than many white collar jobs since it moves fast and there is a lot you have to learn, make a list of all the things you have experience with and then decide which are the most matketable.

Assuming they get access to a lawyer and aren’t disappeared. How can they identify the “agents” that are involved in this attack?

Punch the authoritarian directly in the face

Oh definitely. A lot of the reasons they have for why it works is total fiction. Would be cool to see some work trying to understand it using the scientific method.

I strained my trapezius after hitting the mat a bit hard while sparing recently. After a few days in constant pain I tried an acupuncturist. The first thing she did was put a few needles in my head and the pain was instantly gone. After a few hours of needles, cupping and electrodes I had a lot less pain and after a day I was fine.

Idk, I still think my favorite is black and white cookie vs white and black cookie.
