FTA: exodus was only 3% of the 300k+ federal workers who exited last year... but represents 14% of the total number of PhDs in STEM or health fields

afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷This is not my story. I do not have all the details except what I have been told.
I have a childhood friend, much smarter than I, but with perhaps even less resources than I had when we were growing up.
Like many many many and many more boricuas my friend found that his way to go anywhere was to join the USian armed forces.
Perhaps one of the main reasons we remain a colony of USia, and are granted USia citizenship is that the island is an everspring of recruits.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷So do all Windows 11's latest patches require a restart?
I've said this before, but this makes it inconvenient to dual boot PCs and not have the defult OS be MicroSlop crap.
I "wonder" (/s and 😉
) if this is MicroSlop purposely making life difficult for users who dare not obey MicroSlop's hegemony.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷I wish I could work 23 hours and sleep just 1.
When I say work, I don't mean office work, but trying to write, and do gamedev, and maybe work on myself.
This "you have to sleep" thing... It's awful limiting.
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷If I ever finally make my own RPG game it will have a type of enemy called tpyo
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Saw the video of the murder... Seems they wanted, if not kill Pretti, then at the very least cripple him for life.
And somehow, that was NOT the worst...
There is another video, not about the murder. But the OUTSIDE of an ICE facility, and you can hear children screaming and crying.
Yeah, that's my cue to stop dooming today...
Edit: and maybe this is what they want, for us to not be witness, to not pay attention, to make it easier, you can't remember what you never saw...
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷I hugely dislike sports talk. I do NOT hate sports. Just the culture in general about them, especially in America.
And so I have said often, that I filter all sports toots. That's my boundary. I want to read the people I follow, but no the sports stuff. That's how I roll.
But I would NOT go to someone tooting non-stop about sports and tell them how to use CWs, or tags.
Maybe, maaaybe, I could ASK them for tags, but not TELL them. Asking a favor is different from an order. Savvy?
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Same thing with ALT text.
I think I put ALT text in all my images. And hopefully I haven't failed.
And when people post images with no ALT I just don't favorite or boost. But I will probably copy the image and post it myself with ALT.
But I think I don't need to ask them to add ALT text, whether it's that one image, or all their images.
I can just tell them my boundary. No ALT? No boost, no likes.
Do you see where I am going with this?
afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷I think there's more important things than this, but...
I think it's important to set boundaries, and to be clear and direct concerning them.
But telling someone else how they should do a thing, so that you remain comfortable regardless of whether they are as well is not cool.
For example...

afreytes, 👁️🗨️of🇵🇷Not certain about the order of events, but:
More ICE funding is approved by the government
Another white person is assassinated
I don't know what to tell you except that I don't think the events are accidental.
