So basically quit wanting to get paid for extra work. Also: Stop having something besides your job to live for.

It's really all about having a way to get past encryption so they can spy on everyone indiscriminately. It's pushed that it's to save kids and unmask pedos, but the people in charge know the pedophiles are their rich donors.

It's about controlling opposition and making sure the wealthy can stay on top. Imagine if no small business can hide their information from their competitors.

They forget the part where the signing bonus doesn't exist after they finish BCT.

As much as I want "Jarvis" OS system, I really don't want the version made by Microsoft, Google, or, Apple.

I want to be able to talk with my AI PC, but I want secure AI that's just for me and won't steal all my data for any Corporations to browse.

I find it sad that some lawyer sold them on this suit, while also settling with the police department for peanuts.

The police caused all of the extra pain here, and no studies have ever shown a link to violence from video games.

So glad I have to wait three days after buying a shotgun. It's amazing how much of a deterrent the new Visa Gun Registry, waiting list, and age restrictions are.

I really love jumping through hopes to exercise my rights. Hey, maybe next they will make me log into my citizens portal that monitors all of my online use just in case there is a chance to catch the next 1:99999999 terrorist that isn't a part of a three letter agencies.

Colorado is such a big freedom loving state.

/s if it wasn't obvious.

They just want private Corporate Gestapo. Which is totally better than Government run Gestapo. Private "Corporations" always make the right choices.

I really wish it was this easy to get the meds I actually need. I've been dealing with Chronic Pain for over 20 years now and still can't get enough meds to function as a normal person.

Do they understand that the President isn't a King?

"Happy Wife, Happy Life"

Some women will never be happy with you because you weren't her first pick, just what she settled for.

You can't make someone happy, who is unwilling to try making themselves happy. Relationships have to be equal partnerships.

Life is so much better living alone with my dog the last 10 years.

Han was a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy before being discharged for saving Chewbacca from slavery.

He was awarded the Corellian Bloodstripes during that period of time.

Unless the new Canon retconned all of that away.

TL/DR: I tested out of almost 3 years of High School classes in a week to graduate. The next year the canceled the program to test out of subjects you knew.

I went to an alternative style high school and spent my sophomore and junior years doing no real work. I spent most of my time managing the business computer lab and doing special projects with the Physics and Chemistry teacher.

A lot of learning IT was what I learned by doing in those computer labs. I even was part of a group that created a PowerPoint Presentation with manual animation to help secure some funding for the school.

I also showed them their flaws in the grading system when I hacked into their electronic database system showing how easily it was trying to help my friend out when he was accused of changing his grades. Because of that, they banned me from using any computer unsupervised and moved everything in the labs back to Windows 3.1, after I had moved everything to Windows 95.

The problem was that all testing was done on their computer systems, and I was effectively banned from being able to finish the 2+ years I was missing. I ended up dropping out to work tech support at a local dial-up ISP that was at a computer store. When that fell through, because I was unprepared to manage the entire tech support group at 17 I signed up to join the Army.

The Army needed me to have a High School diploma, so I needed to go back to the school with only a month

I found out that they allowed you to test out of each module if you believed you knew the subject. If you passed the final exams, you got to have that grade in the .125 credit module. 8 tests per semester class. If you failed the test, you had to redo all the actual work.

I ended up doing 8 hours a day of supervised testing, since I was still banned from touching a computer without a teacher watching. It took about a week to take every test for 3 years of High School so I could graduate. I missed graduation because I shipped out once I secured the paperwork saying I was going to graduate.

The next school year they didn't allow people to test out of classes. You were required to do all of the homework before taking the exams.

My take is that Alec Baldwin the Actor isn't to blame. Alec Baldwin the Producer caused all of the Armourer problems by running a low budget production.

As an actor he wasn't supposed to check the gun, however as a producer he failed by not hiring the correct licensed armourer due to cutting corners.

Finally I have something to post.

I tried to capture both ducks upside down eating. Found this funny.
