You’d think IT would be able to look at the team and job title and skip the script though, or even just read the description of the ticket.

I wish that applied in my workplace, where the IT staff treat you like a regular user every single time and go through their little scripts when you’re clearly telling them what the actual issue is, you just don’t have permissions to fix it.

For example, when debugging containerised .net applications through Visual Studio and Docker Desktop on a Windows system, there’s a Powershell script called GetVsDebug which gets you the files you need to debug, since they aren’t included in the installation by default. Normally, if you have admin rights on the machine, it’ll just run that script quietly, get the files and you’re set. In my workplace, Powershell scripts are banned from running from anything that doesn’t have admin rights, including Visual Studio, so it was failing to run every single time.

IT told me to restart my PC, asking me what Visual Studio was, asking me to get a link to it on the Company Portal, trying to get my to re-install it. They even offered to get a new Laptop when I was outright telling them, “None of that is going to work. The issue is that this software doesn’t have the permissions to run powershell scripts”, but nooooope… In the end I just went looking for the script and ran it manually using my own admin privileges and from now on I only ask IT to do something if it is literally impossible for me to do it myself. Other devs are going to have the exact same issue in the future but I’m not going into that mess again.

I want to enjoy Idiocracy, but there’s this undercurrent of eugenics in there that I’m not ever so fond of…

Well he’s hardly gonna take a trip across the Atlantic to solve your problem for you, is he?

My dad has a pretty straightforward approach to Americans these days: They’re the enemy. Every single adult US Citizen is the enemy, no matter what side of the political spectrum. Americans have the power, they have their precious 2nd Amendment to get rid of Trump, but choose not to use it. By not doing anything, they’re complicit.

Tiny bit overboard if you ask me, but I can definitely understand calling for disassociation with the US, pulling all critical systems away from US companies. I would also suggest threatening to stop respecting all US copyrights just as a middle finger. It’s now completely legal to steal any intellectual property from an American company. Distribute official cracks for Adobe Creative Suite, why not?

The exception being Hugh Grant. He went from heart throb in the 90s and 00s to a kind of elderly villain archetype. I wouldn’t call him particularly handsome these days, and while I wouldn’t say he’s aged like milk, he’s certainly not a silver fox.

Despite not being washed up, he’s very good at looking as if he’s washed up.

Nah, angels appear in different forms depending on how high they are in the hierarchy. Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones all look distinctly non-human, and they don’t appear to humans often. Angels, Archangels and Principalities appear to humans quite often, so they all look like humans, just with wings.

Dominions, Virtues and Powers are somewhere inbetween so they look human, but not quite.

Iunno whether you’re judged as having the years not treat you well depends pretty heavily on your career and how well you do as an actress. For example, Maggie Smith definitely aged, but it didn’t matter because her image changed from a beauty when she was younger to a strict and harsh teacher/madam type as she entered her middle age and then to a refined and dignified lady when she was older. The same with Diana Rigg who was a Bond Girl, and is better known now as the Queen of Thorns than she ever was as Tracy Bond.

Being old is not necessarily a problem, it’s what you’re known for. If you’re known exclusively for your beauty when you’re young, and don’t pivot as you age, then you’re gonna have a problem.

Dude must be a vampire or something because in the Bible it says you can eat meat, you just can’t drink the blood, which is why you should drain the blood from any animal you slaughter before consuming the flesh. If we’re going by Christian depictions of angels then I assume we’re going by Christian afterlives and commandments.

As far as I know she’s still a big time Christian, but when Trump came along she pivoted to Gary Johnson and the Libertarian Party.

I used to love Sabrina the Teenage Witch until I learned the actress was a character in Gods Not Dead 2 which kinda soured things a bit.

For me it was Ignition, a top-down racing game where you could play as a police car, a school bus, an ambulance, a yellow car or a blue beetle car.

There was also another racing game I don’t remember the name of and likely never will, because it was a game that came on a blue floppy disk and actually was a 3D racing game, and all I remember is that it was a demo for a game that had you doing street races and it wasn’t open-world, it was with proper tracks and it was a level at sunset in a city, with no traffic. As far as I can tell, it shouldn’t really have been possible to have a fully 3D game on a floppy disk, but I guess since the game was just a demo, it could be squeezed down.

Technically Vader never once destroyed a planet. Tarkin gave the order to destroy Alderaan, no planet was destroyed until Force Awakens, by which point Vader was already dead.
