I absolutely hate when people say shit like that, and I will 100% tell management in front of everyone "If you just want someone to blame, that's fine but don't ask me to explain something and then get pissy like a child when I do exactly that."

Because that's exactly what they are doing.

And I will not participate in such assery.

I know SSDs need to be powered on occasionally due to how they store data, which is why (also due to cost lol) I have most of my stuff on HDDs, though I know those can have issues if you leave them out unprotected.

Not much more I can do without spending a lot more money than I have already. But so far I've never needed to get my second backup.

Which reminds me I need to re-backup the second drive...

The username is some of the worst bait I've seen lmao

I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won't ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn't work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it's been recieved.

I only buy games on steam when they're like $5 or less.

I have less than $200 spent in total over the last 16/17 years on steam, and I don't see myself breaking the $5 limit.

I even pay GOG non sale prices if a steam sale jogs my memory of a game I want.

Sailing the high seas isn't feasible right now since I don't control the internet here and I'm not going to risk me not knowing something and landing the owner with potential legal trouble. But I will hopefully be dusting my hat off soon.

I need to get a couple more external drives and make at least one Faraday cage to keep one in.

All my installers are on a 1tb hdd that sits in my dresser. Made it a lot easier to put my games on my new laptop since they were installed before I even got to hooking it up to the internet.

Providing nothing that isn't covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?

Guillotine.

It's children whining about how life is unfair but instead of actually trying to do something about it now, they'd rather feel smugly superior as they do fuckall and "wait for the revolution" or whatever.

Do I believe positive change is quick or easy? Fuck no. It's hard work and it takes a ton of us working together. I harbor no illusions that my own singular voice will ever matter on a large scale, and I will happily take up my arms to defend the rights of those whose only crime is existing while lgbtq+/poc/whatever, but I'm gonna vote and campaign and everything I can do in the meantime.

Whether we're headed for a cliff as a species or not is irrelevant, I don't feel the need to hit the gas or sit back while mocking the people who are trying to stop the bus.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

Meds that I tried didn't help me. Fuck me I guess 🙃

To be fair I have not tried any new meds in many years, so I'm sure there's new ones I haven't tried, but I couldn't afford the appointments or medications anyway...

I can almost hear the record scratch as he says "But we don't do that..."
