When GDPR was becoming big we adopted the standard over a year of figuring out what was needed to be done and implementing it. We wanted to be on top of it because we thought it would become the standard. So we are compliant and a US based company.

Lol tv news just showed him bragging about how great were doing and that its almost over. Oh and were gonna take the strait apparently now. I really really cant wait until he has to somehow acknowledge he lost.

Loved their first few albums, but then they did some different stuff and wasnt really a fan. This sounds like its going back to what they were good at. They were also really good live.

Data should not be sold or used outside its 1 purpose. It should not be available to the original company at all to look at or have access to. Accessing data should only be allowed through court issued warrants and only on the devices in the proximity and time of the incident. As someone who is an admin to systems that deal with patient data information I can tell you without a doubt we dont even have access to this data, just the setup of everything else around it. It also has a full audit log of everyone who even views the data. This isnt anything new, they just decided to change the rules to see how far they can get away with doing whatever they want for personal gain.

We almost got a 1.8 billion dollar slush fund and a 1 billion dollar ballroom.

Oh yeah we also did spend $42+ billion on a war nobody wants or wanted.

FDA and CDC were also cut 20% and 25% in the last year. CDC went from 11 scientists working on protecting us to 3. 3 people for the entire US.

Our money is going to all the right places to protect us from harm!

Yeah i apologize, looking back on it some more your probably right. We got there around 2-3pm and did it almost immediately. I think the waves were done around 8-9pm do your right. I would say i could still feel it slightly for a few more hours after that but it was very minimal at that point and probably just intensified by alcohol and weed. Another plus for shrooms since they dont last as long.

Only done it a few times with friends. First time was at a bachelor party at a semi remote cabin. Our one friend had experience doing it and even did recommended doses for each person. I feel like my experience varied from what others have stated here. It was great though, time is lost and the 2 to 3 hours that it lasts really feels like 6 hours have passed. Depending on how much you do can change what you experience. For me it meant things felt wavy especially if you get yourself into a small room like a bathroom where its extremely noticeable. Conversations are mostly nonsense and the littlest things trigger uncontrollable laughing that lasts for minutes to the point your crying and expect your jaw to hurt. Honestly a lot of the effects reminded me a lot of shrooms, but the high is more intense and cleaner if that makes sense. I didnt have any crazy revelations or changes in life, but you definitely feel good for the next week like your recharged and some worries are lifted. If I ever get the opportunity to do it again i would.

If you are on windows 11 (maybe 10 as well?) my easiest way to get there these days is hold shift when clicking restart.

“Now with things like lemmy/piefed, reddit, stackoverflow, and LLMs people are spoiled.”

But we were kind of spoiled back then as well. Before that option we had even less to figure it out. Relying on support to assist was the best option and that always sucked. Figuring it out yourself or come up with some workaround was generally the only option you had sadly.

“However, in Minnesota, Trump had endorsed Mike Lindell, a staunch Trump ally and the founder of MyPillow, a pillows and bedding accessories company, for the GOP gubernatorial primary, and he lost his primary to Lisa Demuth, the speaker of the Minnesota House.”

Maybe it had less to do with who the president picked and way more to do with common sense for some of these? I would like to imagine that the majority do realize Mike Lindell is just a horrible person and use their own brains to decide that maybe he won’t be the best pick for us…

Oh boy, this brings back memories… I forgot all about that but man did I hate that part. I struggled for a while because it was just so boring. I barely made it and this is when I was still powering through games. If I had to do that over today I would have put the game down and never came back. I also remember being one of the few people who did not like the game and it was mostly due to this part.

Did I miss the reason behind these things? I got a neighbor a block away who has it up all year round and dresses it up for evey holiday and season. Never comes down. I just started seeing a few others in town recently and kind of wondered if I missed the memo about why this is a thing now. I dont hate them, but I also never want one either.

Thats correct. I am in charge of this for our company and basically an option off the main menu that is recorded will give this message before fully transferring to that queue. This allows the reps to not have to say it every single time they talk to someone, which could also mean they forget to. For the extensuons the message plays before they are allowed to speak once someone picks up.

When i opened this I was expecting the worst and instead pleasantly surprised to not see how horrible of a person they were for once. Seems to be all I see whenever an older famous person dies anymore.

It was the first one. It was first released in oct 2016 and i remember i just got the samsung note 7 and that was the craziest phone event I’ve ever seen since it wa an entire recall of that model. Because of that i waited the month till it dropped and ended up getting it swapped for the pixel. It was new and thought it would be better than the galaxy.

I remember when I switched from a Samsung phone to one of the first pixel phones years ago and being so angry that it did not have an option to add the number. I think the only way back then ended up being in the developer options. That phone somehow just ended up getting into a boot loop only like 4 months after getting it and they didnt respect the warranty. It was provided by work so I didnt care that much since no real loss to me, but ill never forget that impression it left on me and ill never get another pixel or google phone ever again.

Sadly I don’t disagree, and that is the endgame, but 3 years is ridiculously short. Probably more like 10.

I dont regret them all, but after a few days of going to bed way later than I should I start to or ill just end up passing out early one night because it catches up to me. If I don’t stay up late I got no time to myself…

Whats the gameplan here for the future? Im guessing a lot of these companies are going to have to close down when they can’t sell their stock anymore? I would have to imagine most people can no longer afford this or will hopefully choose not to because it was already crazy high. I got a good 5 years before i may need something new and I really hope something collapses and things are forced to go back to what they were.

I honestly struggle with this. Don’t forget, property taxes always go up. Since ive been in my house they have increased about 1.5k in 10 years or 12%. I know I can’t live here forever just because of the exponential growth over 10 years and theres no way i can survive this another 10 or 20 years. I also wonder who can even afford this at these prices? I know a lot of states do it differently, but my state is the highest property tax rate in the country. I see some states that are like 1k for the year and my mouth drops as i pay almost 150% more.
