@PNS How can it be "semi free-range" when it was grown in a lab?

@Aviz She had a free program dedicated to making resumes that was preinstalled on her laptop. The program is designed to make resumes that stand out (looking like webpages instead of black text on white paper), but only outputs to PDF.

@Aviz
>As a curiosity, when you send your CV to someone via email, you do convert to something else, right ?

I convert it to PDF because that's what they usually accept. I don't think many people know that you can view webpages downloaded to your hard-drive offline.

Why are women so fucking judgemental, especially when it comes to men trying to live differently? I've notice that men actually seem to be more open-minded to alternate lifestyles then women are, except when it comes to "alternative lifestyles" that are glorified by the mainstream like veganism.

It doesn't just apply to wives/girlfriends even just random women would criticize how a man chooses to live if it is different from everyone else. Some of my male family members who are currently living alone are scolded by female visitors for owning or not owning certain things or having certain things in certain places, such as forgoing a dish washer and just using the sink. Men don't seem to care, even if it's an unconventional way to live. Women always try to either get them to stop or ask among themselves, "how is he able to live like this".

It is ALWAYS female peers who negatively judge me and my lifestyle. My male peers are a lot more open minded if I make lifestyle choices that are not mainstream. Even if they are "normies" (I really hate that term, but that's a whole other rant) they don't seem to care if I choose not to have any subscriptions for streaming services or that I don't like to use a smartphone for everything.

Recently, my sister who had a resume generator program that came with her computer, decided to create resumes for us to help us all stand out. Yet I insisted that I use the HTML resume that I created because I can easily edit it and convert it to different formats. Hers was in PDF format and had to be edited in a paint program. It looks nicer, but I don't need to make mine look nice given that most resumes are just black text on white backgrounds anyway. I can easily decorate mine using CSS and have it look like a page from an early 2000s website. Of course, she doesn't understand this at all. She says that mine looks "terrible and unprofessional" and that I'm making things harder for myself by doing mine in HTML, despite me having a CS degree and understanding the advantages of using a markup language to write documents. Other female family members tended to agree, but men tend to understand how difficult it is to edit PDFs.

Is this why women generally hate the principle of "live and let live" or only support it if it benefits them? Is this also the reason why hate the MGTOW movement (even though I have some unrelated gripes with that movement too)?

school is worthless. university is worthless. autodidacts can learn any real skill themselves. the 12 years you put your child through school they could have become proficient at real skills like welding/machining/carpentry/construction/drywalling/tiling/roofing/electrical/plumbing/hvac/microsoldering/electrical repair etc and be rich if they play their cards right by the time they hit 30. those fields have near unlimited work demand with soaring labor prices. far more useful and in demand than any obsolete fields you can get through school/university channels. going to school/university is where losers go.

60 yrs ago today, the CIA assassinated the President.

Who in the deep state was Donald Trump trying to protect when he reclassified the JFK files?

Lately I've been working on a little side project: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/activity-connect

ActivityConnect a simple AP-to-AP bridge, similar to activitypub-proxy. It's not quite ready for production yet, and only works in read-only mode.

The primary goal of this project is connecting Tor and I2P instances with clearnet instances, and it will be also useful for circumventing instance blocks.
Connecting DID-based actors with domain-based actors is in scope too, but I don't know yet if that will be necessary.

Oracle is a fucking terrible company. They are the only one I know of that charges over a thousand dollars for a training course.

@mutageno2@merovingian.club That's like saying that Trump is going to "drain the swamp". These politicians always make promises and fail to deliver.
