The First Amendment applies to the government, not the restaurant who asked you to leave because you used the N word.

“ 90% of the problems in education are a result of shitty parents”

The other 10% is caused by radical liberalism and gay agendas then. I suspect more like 50% though.

The earned income tax credit is the biggest scam in the US and no one acknowledges it. For example: Individual files a tax return claiming that they were self employed and earned somewhere between $14k-17k for the year. The government sends them a tax refund of about $5k.

People do this year after year and haven’t actually worked, they just get a $5k check from the gubmint, year after year. You see all of these “tax services” places pop up year after year, and they basically specialize in filling out these returns for people (doesn’t take more than 15 minutes per return), and then get a percentage of the tax refund. They’re all in on the scam.

1029.4 and 0.052 are the unit conversions used on a daily basis with my job. Next to quantum computing, AI and putting shite in space, we are on the cutting edge of technology!

Hospitals aren’t the money makers everyone assumes they are.

Sad fact but true, yet no one believes it.

People think I just “check gauges” offshore but it’s really complex computerized work. I do put off a “dumbass” vibe as much as possible so no one in my personal life asks me to help with their computer problems.

Nobody cares about the ECD or hydrostatic pressure and there is no key to the v-door.

A lift and shift to the cloud will not save your organization any money.

Also, DO NOT LET IBM INTO YOUR ORGANIZATION.


Most customers don't do sufficient due diligence, and are perfectly willing to cut costs on things like security, then wonder why things go wrong months later.

Also, customers consistently refuse to do QA if it means their people have to do some work. Delay a couple of hundred flight segments, no big deal. At least someone didn't have to review two lines of code.
