@codebrewed I asked an agent after he scanned my ID, if I needed to take my laptop out of my bag. Without looking at me he pointed over his left shoulder and said yes, then pointed over his right shoulder and said no. (2 parallel security lines at this airport)

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

I get to my hotel in New Zealand. I turn on the radio to hear what it's like...Kamala Harris is talking.
Bruh. 8500 miles away. Make it stop #election

[Eric Ricks @EricRicks17]

@kensethology I can hear Hamilton's voice on the radio: "That was my line. He turned in on me, man."

[Eric Ricks @EricRicks17]

🧐 Spell check?

[Eric Ricks @EricRicks17]

Oh no. It's worse.

News: "And there's good news tonight!"
Always the last news story

[SweetPeaBelle @SweetPeaBell326]

Wow…just wow.

Look at the faces on the CNN panel as a huge truth bomb is dropped.

“Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault.”

Joe Biden is dropping out of the 2024 election to focus on his golf game

First day at Crowdstrike, pushed a little update and taking the afternoon off ✌️

Looked like Ben Bybee for Arkansas was tipping his pitches. In the set, his glove pointed upward it was a fastball; glove flat was a changeup. Lots of hard hit baseballs #espn2

Reading comprehension is not a qualification for deploying to Antarctica

[Eric Ricks @EricRicks17]

I like the little guy closest to me that scoots across the snow and then stands up and looks at me like: you didn't see that did you?😂 #Penguins #Antarctica

[Eric Ricks @EricRicks17]

I have not seen a single insect in months. No ants, no spiders, no mosquitoes. Nothing #Antarctica

The last guy to come after Ronald Acuña Jr was José Ureña who's starting for the Rockies tonight with an 0-4 record and a 9.82 ERA.
Not a good track record.
