I had a doctors note and I still got fired the first time I called out

I'd be generous and give them 3 non-doctor's note call out days per term. Anymore than that then their seat and pay goes to one of their staff members for the rest of the term. They can come back after getting reelected so the voter's are still sovereign if they want them.

Call outs by the way. If they don't call in with a good excuse before hand then that would be instant replacement for the rest of the term. Same for if they couldn't produce a doctor's note.

    The problem with floppy discs is that they are performing a service that price gouging private contractors could be doing. Unfortunately there are still government agencies that are saving tax dollars by sticking to so-called "legacy" systems that are well understood and are as near to perfected as they can ever be.

    It’s just unfair competition. How can they compete with old tech that just works. And works without an LLM shoved in it... hell, they don't even need to connect to a company server!

    Tech bros will see to it that every aspect of the public sector is loaded down with broken enshitified proprietary spyware garbage that require regular service subscriptions.

    So where are all the "Fuck people who didn't vote cause of Gaza!" pieces of shit at?

    Probably the same place these fuckers were.

    Edit. Come on, there's got to be more.

    Public transit will not work for rural areas or cities under a million.

    Rural areas in America are net drain on society. And the term rural is kind of pushing it especially in the east. It's more of a sprawling strip mall/car dealership hellscape that's occasionally interrupted by churches, trees and farms It's a shit life and so many people are trapped here because of cost of living. We should be getting people out of those areas. Then it would be a moot point.

    Bitter sweet because I'm pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP

    It's church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.

    The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.

    There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn't bother looking for it for the pic. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1860493f-80f8-44e0-9a02-bf763c6224c1.jpeg

    A Good Girl (lemmy.world)
     

    You were so smart, so lively, beyond belief

    You were my shadow, my friend, a reason live

    Six years never felt so full and yet so brief

    For a single minute more everything I would give.

    The house has been frozen in time since that day

    toys still scattered, clothes unwashed, grass unmowed

    It's haunted by a ghost, filled with regret, guilt and dismay

    reliving over and over what happened in that road

    But although you weren't here very long

    you taught me two things that only you could

    that life is too beautiful to be given up on

    and that bad can be chased away by those who are good

    I will always love you Kola.
