Where are you living that has limits like this? I think the last time I had to worry about SMS limits was like 2013ish and that's because I had a shitty tracphone. Unlimited calls and texting has been the default in the US for at least a decade.
Of course she did! Her job was to disseminate US military and government secrets to all of our foreign adversaries and she did a flawless job. Now Putin has all the US intelligence he needs, Trump has permission to fire her for being a woman.
I'm in a different field, but my advice is the machine gun method. Go to indeed or wherever, and apply to anything that you're even half qualified for. I sent 10 resumes a day for 6 weeks to land my job.
It sucks, but that's what you gotta do these days. Also accept interviews for positions you have no interest in just to get the practice.
You can accelerate this process in your community by posting flyers with the locations of local data centers and the approximate value of the copper inside them!
It's an intentional mix of low education, racist history, rural isolation, a faith-based understanding of reality, and 50 years of relentless fascist propaganda. It creates a culturally reinforced tribalism in Republicans and makes them into a sort of cattle-class that can easily be led around by media misinformation. They're too isolated, too dumb, and too blindly loyal to The Party to ever wake up to the reality of their subjugation or the evil of their leaders.
Gonna suggest a kinetic sand table. The tabletop is glass and underneath there's a bunch of sand and a metal ball that rolls around drawing patterns. They're pretty neat.
Ex-Machina (2014). A tech billionaire recruits a young programmer to come to his remote compound to test his new AI android called Ava. The test is whether Ava can convince the protagonist that she's a real person, despite visibly being a robot.
Ava then proceedes to fuck with everyone, manipulating people into carrying out her escape plan.
It's a psychological thriller and it's quite good imo. It definitely has a lot to say about the dangers of AI.
Trump is old and frail too! You'd think that a respectable news org like NPR would have spent even a little time covering the credible threats to democracy (and their own funding), and challenging the insane claims from orange man. But no, they had to go on and on and on about how Biden specifically was old and gave tons of credence and and credibility to Trump.
As far as I'm concerned, NPR bent over backwards to legitimize a madman who publicly declared his intent to destroy them multiple times.
I love PBS and I used to live NPR until they spent all of 2024 sane-washing Trump and endlessly bashing Biden. When Trump was on stage all but announcing his plans to become a Dictator, NPR was running a week long segment on how old and frail Biden was.
NPR markets themselves as unbiased public media, but take off the mask (and follow the money) and you'll quickly learn that its a news org for Neoliberal business leaders and noone else.
You can even keep using the same shades! How convenient!
