The problem I have is that what works for any given individual is never going to work for the larger population. Everyone has different needs and the goon suggesting that "everyone should move out to the sticks" as a solution to people talking about how the housing crisis affects them at a few people off

CLAM DOWN posted:People who belong to a minority indefinable group literally get hate crimes committed against them (at best) or flatout murdered (at worst) in the sticks, which you seem to love so much. You are very clearly white and cis and able to speak from a position of total privilege. I mean, it's Clam Down, but people were siding with him on it, this is just the first one I found. No mention of "In these specific states" which would also be dumb because hate crime laws don't stop people from committing hate crimes. Just if you're a minority in "the sticks" you're going to get hate crimed at best, lynched at worst. Regulargonzalez was presumably talking about New Mexico judging by his reference to being 3 hours away from Santa Fe, possibly far south Colorado. IDK what the hate crime laws are like in CO or NM despite living in CO because it's not something I keep up with. Loving v. Virginia didn't stop my ex-wife and I from getting poor treatment in moderately-sized "progressive" cities.

CLAM DOWN posted:Why the gently caress are you continuing this topic that was completely over and done with, starting with a really weird comment directed at me? Boohoo, you got called out for making really gross generalizations about vast swaths of the country. And I called you out specifically because you're one of the most brash and abrasive posters in this thread whenever people speak negatively about offices or big cities, although at least since the time I called you out for taking it to an ableist level you've cut it back, which I appreciate. alg posted:this is what rural areas in the South are like: Funny, the rural areas in the south I was in my wife and I got treated better than we did in the front range of Colorado. Almost like people and places are complicated and you shouldn't make wide sweeping generalizations. IE can probe me for bringing this back up on the condition he come visit me since I'm only like 3 hours away so he can show me all the bigotry and hate crimes that I'm apparently missing every day that doesn't exist in the city.

I think objective data would be the best way to look at this. Let's compare the amount of hate crimes from the last 3 rural zip codes I've lived in to those of any metropolitan goon zip code. And to show I'm acting entirely in good faith, we'll do it per Capita. And I'll go further and make it a banme toxx, if any of you are willing to do the same. If my area has more hate crimes, I get banned. And vice versa. Just lmk. Easy way to get rid of me, since there are so many lynchings in my area. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Mar 22, 2022 |

I mean that’s definitely not what Clam Down said, he said you will at best get hate crimed and at worst get murdered if you live in a rural area, but feel free to continue misinterpreting it. I shouldn’t have to lay out my “credentials” but I’m a bi enby that spent most of their adult life in an interracial relationship. gently caress off with your “check your privilege” poo poo.

As a progressive person that is very tolerant and understanding of others, I have to say that everybody knows there's only trailer parks between SF and NYC. Anyone that disagrees is dumb and/or a racist. 22 Eargesplitten, I'm sure your trailer is very nice and no disrespect was intended. Seriously, I don't want to see pictures of your "house" and I tire of this conversation.

I'd consider taking you up on that but the police force for my 400k person metropolitan area either doesn't charge people with hate crimes or they're statistically insignificant enough to fall under the "Other" umbrella. 22 Eargesplitten posted:I mean that’s definitely not what Clam Down said, he said you will at best get hate crimed and at worst get murdered if you live in a rural area, but feel free to continue misinterpreting it. Are we pretending hate crime can't include speech? Is this a Canada vs USA thing, because to say you're likely to deal with hate speech in rural areas (which are traditionally more conservative by nature) is not a particularly hot take. Whether you're more likely to be assaulted? I couldn't say. The reason minorities may avoid living in rural areas are obviously way more complicated than "you'll get hate crimed", I'd almost go as far as to say that the lack of potential community is the biggest reason.

I had an Uncle that lived on a lake though, his boat was used every weekend, all weekend, he loved hosting folks. It was a 21 ft Bayliner and seemed like a good size. RIP Uncle B.

Since the HR VP quit I've been alone at the far end of the office. That makes it safe for me to blast music. Almost makes me want to get a subwoofer. EDIT: I've been asked to find an MDM solution to handle our smartphones and laptops, including being able to remotely erase them. We have onsite AD although Azure AD is probably in our future. Only MDM I've used was the one Cisco was offering for free to Meraki users. Any suggestions? Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Mar 22, 2022 |

If you're going Azure AD then just go with Intune. It's not the best, but it's far from the worst. I quite like working with it. At least you will never have to worry about the company being acquired and the prices getting jacked up 200%.

I'm in the middle of a move and I swear to god if I have to bust out buttons it's not going to be pretty. Please, just have a conversation like normal people. I expect better of this thread. If you have an opinion, voice it without being an rear end in a top hat. Ask yourself, "does this make the thread more enjoyable to read." And please don't say "I don't care if I get probation/banned/whatever." No one is out here ruling with an iron fist and all you're doing is loudly proclaiming that you know your post sucks and putting mods into a situation where we feel like we have to do something about it.
