🤷 The woke mind virus got me.

I think it comes down to exposing myself to other people and their perspectives. As a teen I was as racist as any Zionist. Once I moved away from home and met people from outside of my insulated Zionist/Jewish community I started hearing other perspectives. This led me to take a serious look at Zionism and the state of Israel including how they operate to maintain apartheid. I didn’t like what I saw, I tend to be an empathetic person so it really hurt to see my people and culture I identified with take part in these Injustices.

What followed was years of deprogramming and the painful process of coming to terms with the fact that Israel were the bad guys in this scenario. I grew up in the West Bank on a settlement so the roots went deep and they were painful to RIP out. A great eye opening book I read was “A Day In The Life Of Abed Salama”. It really helped connect the puzzle pieces and pull down the propaganda curtain that I experienced growing up in a Jewish settlement.

Also my parents were born in the 60s so probably lead poisoning right?

I know my family are raging Zionist so I don’t even bring it up.

Oh, it’s an i9 14900k with 64gb RAM and a 4070ti super.

Which flavor?

I bought a gaming PC that should be future proof to at least 4 years

$80USD for fiber at 2gbps up/down. It’s a locally owned fiber company.

I work for a global communications platform. Political turning means more work since we deliver alot of political messages but otherwise unaffected.

I make sure messages and calls get to end user devices by using the most cost effective and dependable routes. It’s a niche job, I work for an international brand and I am the first “Routing” position that I am aware of stateside. I didn’t graduate highschool or go to college, it really just requires some industry specific knowledge and willingness and ability to learn.

I am a Routing Analyst for a communication platform. We do SMS, MMS and voice traffic. I make $80k working from home.

Find a place that doesn’t feel like torture with a management team who isn’t shitty. My first job in IT was for DXC, a massive MSP with 100k+ employees. I was applying for new jobs 3 months in because I saw it was unsustainable for me. Just before my 1 year I got an offer. I now work for a smaller ~250 person company with a management style that doesn’t make me anxious or stressed. I also do woodworking as a hobby and built myself a desk, coffee bar and bench. I firmly believe that the right job can let you have your cake and eat it too. It’s just a struggle and a job in itself to find the good cake in the first place.

83k?? I’ve been in IT for 2 years and I’m about making that much. Would more money help? Maybe job hop to a company that fits your vibe better?

Spouses can be such cock blocks smh.

All of that and he does SO much better than any one else I’ve seen on interviews. If he isn’t president this year he’ll run in 2028.

I picked up 2 ancient kindles on FB marketplace for $25 and they work great as long as airplane mode stays on. They throw a fit trying to connect to Amazon if you get on WiFi.

Demetri Martin! One liners galore and fun visual “musical” comedy.
