I guess it's a good thing I never bothered with Discord.

[methylatedspirit]

I have a Discord account (under a different username, 'cause compartmentalization), but it's been gathering dust from the moment it was created. I've forgotten what my username there was, and I've had to check my phone to see what it was. I'm very hesitant to join any servers or share that username with anyone or do anything with it, since that would add obligations to my life that aren't essential. Too stressful.

Fuck discord, they got rich selling everyone's data to China XD. I use them because there's no other real option if I want to participate in online gaming.

Maybe someone else will step in with better business practices.

Isn't Discord just slightly fancier IRC that sells your data?

[Arx]

I've yet to see any actual compelling evidence for Discord selling data. Not that I especially trust big companies, though.

Hopefully MS doesn't kill it. That would suck.

I know that Covid is hard to deal with everywhere, but it seems like the egomaniac gangsters governing our country are actively working towards ruining people's lives. We have the third highest deaths per capita from Covid and it's still steadily increasing, hospitals have to operate way beyond their capacity (it's got to the point that most hospitals are asking for unskilled helpers but cannot provide vaccines for would-be volunteers), and to add on to all that, our government just refused to further postpone evictions. In contrast with these facts, Fidesz is claiming on all state-owned media platforms that everything is fine, nurses and doctors are lying about the severity of the situation, and that they are thinking about opening up in the coming months, citing the 1,6 million (first dose only) successful vaccinations.

I fucking hate it here. I have absolutely lost my ability to cope with reality and I'm convinced the only way we are going to get rid of these greedy troglodytes is through a bloody, violent revolt.

Oh shit you're dealing with the Hungarian govt.

You know Hungary terrifies me as a proof of concept on how bad things can get if right wing populists get into power, even for a little while

I hope you and yours are able to cope with the coming storm.

Do get the sinovac vaccine if offered. Even if its a bit crap compared to the others.

Currently the only civilians getting vaccinations are 60 years or older, as they make up the majority of the Fidesz voterbase, and the second doses are lagging behind so much that there's a high possibility that it's going to lead to lesser efficiency against the virus. To be honest, I'm starting to believe Orbán and his cronies will turn Hungary into a total dictatorship before the '22 elections could even take place. If shit gets any worse I'll probably drop my uni studies and just move to Austria to help my sister out and carve out an existence for myself.

Spoiler: sad stupid ass story (click to show/hide)

Today I almost punch a person on the face, this would be the second time in my whole life that I'm on the verge of doing that. Promptly had to leave the place and walked half an hour only to realize I had the fucking keys of the place, so I finished getting home and took the car back, delivered the keys and send them to go fuck themselves.

The reason is pretty stupid. I was doing some inventory movements of spare parts. The owner did not like how I was doing it because I used the whole rack top to bottom and he has a unwritten and communicated policy of not using the two top most and the bottom level of racks... because he is old as fuck(but not that much) and in case of an earthquake.... This did not trigger the argument, however, I just nodded and told him "Okay, sorry, let's do it as you say, I just want you to know that I don't think everything will fit this way, that's it, more space will be required and in the end some of those levels in the racks will be needed." I mean, after all is his merchandise and his businesses. I just wanted to set the precedent I told them about it just in case the moment the space runs out I dont get the blame. He did not said anything and asked me to fetch some keys.

So I left the warehouse to get the keys, and when I come back I hear the other owner saying something along the lines of "he just meant to do things right" and the one I had the problem with snares out loud "He has no experience".

I, in case you did not know, have 15+ years of experience working on IT and inventory on large scale industrial facilities, plus other things that do not comes to the case, and the fucker actually know that pretty well because we talked about it a lot. So I finish getting there and I swear, asked as gently as one can ask, despite being annoyed by his commentary: "Which kind of experienc...."

I haven't finished speaking when he starts shouting "SHUT UP, DON'T FUCK WITH ME, THIS IS MY BUSINESS, GET THE FUCK OUT"... I'm just there dumbfounded because never expected such a rude reply, specially when I was just asking which kind of experience was required for the task with the intention of reminding him I do have a lot or stand corrected if he meant something else.

So he keeps yelling, and I simply threw the keys in my hand at the floor, which I admit might have been unnecessarily rude on my part and tell him, "Okey, I'll leave now". I was already exiting the warehouse when he shots me "YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE" asshole for the lack of a better translation.... this... I dunno, I turn around and told him to repeat it to me, and so he did, several times until I was near to him and the other owner jumped between the two of us, the idiot still screaming at me "pendejo" and daring me to punch him.

I snapped out of it and simply called him imbecile and finished storming out before touching the guy and landing in jail or worst.

So well, this job was virtually gone anyway, only at my insistence I was hired to do a few more tasks because well, we need the money and the payment was not that bad.

Well, as long the pool of workers diminishes faster than the pool of works there's chance of getting something else quick.

We lost one of the celebrities I actually liked. And looking, I enjoyed her in about twice as many roles as I knew of. Great actress.

Damn I was certain she was the mother in a shitty 90's sitcom but looking at imdb that was a completely different old lady with the same face.

She did play Morgan leFay in the 70's Doctor Strange movie though
