In Texas, government organizations not only can’t divest from Israel, but also can’t award contracts to anyone who divest from Israel or speaks ill of it.
It’s insane. When analyzing bids for janitorial services for City Hall a few weeks back, I was required to vett them for their stance on Israel.
I hold a weekly project review/coordination meeting via Teams where we discuss all our project statuses, due dates, etc with the relevant team members, make new assignments, etc. And while our new offices are being built I’m exiled to the conference room instead of my desk so that my talking doesn’t annoy people who aren’t in the meeting.
Everything is being tracked on a spreadsheet, and I’m sharing my screen while updating everything and I’m having to live-type in front of 20 people and my shitty laptop keyboard.
It’s the worst.
So liberal college students get called terrorists and are disappeared for saying Israel shouldn’t commit genocide, but the country that funded 9/11 doesn’t have to recognize Israel’s right to exist in order to get nukes?
I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?
It’s approaching that point.
If the executive ignores the law and the other branches of government, we effectively no longer have a representative government.
I use lots of FOSS software. I work in a municipal government job where I have to fill a lot of roles that aren’t funded as separate positions, so I use GIMP, Inkscape, and QGIS daily because the professional software isn’t budgeted. I also use OBS frequently, among others.
But GIMP is by far the worst FOSS alternative I’ve come across when compared against its paid competition. I hate Adobe the company, but Photoshop really is the gold standard.
I use both heavily. Oddly enough I use GIMP at work and Photoshop for my personal use and side gig.
If it’s more difficult to set up, then it may not be better for everyone.
It’s not supposed to be an identifier, but since it’s the only nationally-assigned designation all citizens get it’s treated like one.
Which is stupid. It’s incredibly insecure, vitally important, leaked to every bad actor on the planet already, and unchangeable when it gets compromised (which it has been).
Yeah. I grew up around guns. I was shooting 22s early like you, had a compact shotgun by the age of 10, etc.
We didn’t live in the country, so while we had guns in the house, we did NOT have ammunition in the house until I was 15 or so, just in case me or my sister ever decided to play with a gun. We bought ammo on the way to the range or the hunt, and anything we didn’t shoot was given to a family member.
The most plausible way is a short-term boycott for like 2 weeks at the end of their fiscal reporting period. You want the rebound not to be reflected in the quarterly report so it fucks with the share prices.
My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I’d absolutely do that.
Don’t forget getting the interview.
I’ve got the right column on lock. I’ve never had an interview that wasn’t followed by an offer. But I was still stuck in a dead-end job for years trying to get an interview.
Once I finally got an interview adjacent to my field, I was promoted within 6 months, then poached by another organization a year after that and had quadrupled my income in under 2 years.
But it took forever to get that process started.
Wiping trans people from existence is easier for them to do when nobody is allowed to talk about them.
They’re a perfect mix of people that are stupid, evil, and greedy that will absolutely devastate the global economy.
There’s a point in the third game that determines the fate of 2 different species that can play out very differently based upon actions you’ve made across the series. And the “best” version depends on your completing the loyalty quests of multiple characters in ME2 before a certain trigger point.
That’s happening either way, my dude.
I have over 50 guns. I’m good there.
Because the restrictions is technically on the city, not the organizations we aren’t allowed to hire.
It’s bullshit.
