I’m not doing this again.

I appreciate that. I can’t say anything is better right now, but I can say that I think I’m handling it better. So that’s something, I guess?

Either way, I wanted to thank you very much for your words. Be well.

I liked continuum too.

Just saying.

I’ve been having a shit week and I don’t mean to be a dick about it.

I’m not sure why I give this much of a shit about a post that should be ha-ha funny.

I’m sorry.

There would still be less dead people.

It happens, yes.

Just like people dying in T-bone or head-on collisions. Not to mention rollovers and other crashes.

Each of them carries the chance of fatality.

It’s unpredictable, which is why we can’t eliminate fatalities entirely.

My most recent point is that even the fatalities from being rear-ended are significantly reduced from even 10-15 years ago. Making the small (but still too high) probability of a fatality from that type of crash, smaller (but still too high).

Therefore, the most likely outcome from such an incident would be the destruction of property, not loss of life.

Which is the original point I was being pedantic about. The original comment was that stopping and not driving wouldn’t kill anyone, and the reply that kicked off this insane tangent, was that the people behind might.

And I’m staying, no, they won’t die (it is statistically very unlikely).

Edit to include original context:

Is this the only argument?

Because while that’s dangerous, modern safety standards in vehicles mean the probability of mortality in these situations is substantially reduced.

My point is that people won’t die, not that it’s a good thing to do.

Why? If people think this is an acceptable situation to go ahead and drive in, then people are going to get hurt or killed.

How calm should I be about driver’s being so irresponsible that they endanger themselves and everyone around them because “lol, what was I supposed to do?!?” … Exactly?

Can’t see? Don’t drive. It’s not fucking rocket surgery.

They’ll survive. Their cars might not…

Nobody will die , so I’m not sure what you’re saying.

I’ve been in the situation plenty as a driver and if you don’t know how to handle it, destroy your driver’s license.

Jesus fucking Christ.

You people have the privilege of being able to legally drive on public roads… FFS.

Woof.

You can’t see it, but more people disagree with you than agree with you.

Just FYI.

You’re entitled to your opinion, and you like what you like. So don’t worry, be happy.

All I want to say is:

I rarely like any video so much that I want to give it a solid 👍

Its also pretty rare for 👎

But I’ll rate stuff on a scale of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ every day of the week.

Also, hiding 👎 is completely brain-dead stupid.

I keep applying!

I have yet to get a call…

I get hate mail if my total time entered is less than 9 whole assed hours.

They want to know when I take a shit for fucks sake. What are they going to do, reprimand me if I take 20 minutes to take a dump?

“What were you doing that entire time?”

“Taking a shit”

“It doesn’t take 20 minutes to take a shit”

“Maybe for you”

…

I end up doing both and then management sees a gap in my time entries where I was helping someone, and they come down on me for not doing enough.

It’s as if, if I’m not doing billable tasks, then I’m lazy and I’m not working… Because y’know, I show up to work and just fuck around all day unless I’m being watched constantly by management.

Yeah. 45k starting.

I’ve been doing the job for over a decade.

Considering I’ve been doing this stuff for over a decade and have met less than a handful of people with the same technical expertise as I have, and I haven’t met anyone that’s more skilled… I’m pretty sure I should be making at least 6 figures… Nobody will pay that much for what I do.

I’m not trying to brag or anything. It’s just that I keep ending up in the position of having to educate everyone around me on how things actually work, and how to fix them. I spend more time in the bowels of Windows operating systems that the registry makes sense to me.

My understanding of the message in the OP is that phone companies are making phones suck after 2 years using updates that make the phone slower, etc.

… Y’know, like Apple did a few years back.

I’m much the same.

I can’t leave my geographic area for very good reasons, and I will in IT support. I’m experienced enough to be a “senior” support tech. But the average going rate in my area for my job is about 60k/yr. That sounds great until I tell you that I’m in Canada and that’s Canadian dollars, which is about 43k/yr USD.

The state of the market here is embarrassing and I can’t find jobs hiring for remote workers, or anything local enough that I could feasibly commute, that pays enough for it to be worth it to even apply.

If I do find a posting that’s close it’s a 1.5hr commute away and pays about the same as my current work from home gig… Despite the toxicity, why would I take a job I need to spend an additional 3+ hours in a car to do the same work, with potentially the same toxicity, for the same pay?

I fucking hate everything.
