    I was recently reminded of this thread by this clip

    As a teenager I thought that 99% of humanity would be destroyed in a global nuclear war or we would be living in a Robocop/Neuromancer/Bladerunner type of cyberpunk hellscape by 2020 so I guess things are pretty ok in comparison. Otherwise life has had it's ups and downs. I don't know. I didn't really have any master plan personally. I've at least tried most of things I wanted to try. Except for going to space, I guess.

    I'm pretty sure it's just sunset/sunrise coming through a crack in the cloud cover. This looks like someone practicing and/or testing the drones for a drone show. But it's hard to tell how far or fast they are really moving.

    Whenever a waiter brings me a drink or food and winks I get paranoid that what's wrong in the drink or food Like the other day a waitress brought me my soup and said "here's you soup. enjoy!" *wink*. Why is she winking? lol. Is the soup poisoned? Did someone spit in it? Is she flirting and I'm misreading the signals? Is she just kidding around? Then while I ate the said soup I started to Google for the restaurant to see what kind of reviews it had and I couldn't find the whole damn place in Google. It didn't even show up on the Google maps and I realized I was the only patron there. What kind of establishment is this in the first place? Is there some scam going? I ate the soup, paid for my lunch and went on about my day. Anyway, don't randomly wink at socially inept people, please.

    I got a holiday elements bundle this year so I got RX8 Elements, Ozone 9 Elements, Neutron 3 Elements, Iris 2, Stutter Edit, etc for 54€. List price would have been 1187€ but I don't really need half of this stuff. My biggest gripe with the Izotope products is that the VST plugins are such CPU hogs.

    Sacrifices may have to be made. But yeah, I think first comes the monetary sacrifice, then your time, friends, family, privacy, self-confidence, .. private parts.. My ex used to go see various Christian sects worship just out of interest. She told me that most of the people in those places just seemed to have some daddy issues.

    Yep, and for example they have a ban on blood transfusions that has killed a lot of people, including children. I had a JW kid on my class back in school and he couldn't even eat the Finnish blood pancakes that were served for lunch at the school now and then. Also the JW lady at the library was super fucking annoying. I was glad that she left but then she got rehired later. She wouldn't shut up about the fucking Jehova's Witnesses and I don't know if she was stupid but kind of really simple and gullible, if you know what I mean. But I once met a young Mongolian woman who turned out to be a JW. I would never have guessed. She arranged for me a tour in the Gobi desert and gave instructions to buy vodka in small bottles to sacrifice to a mountain god and the Mongolian sky god and various other instructions on how to connect to the Buddhist Shambala kingdom via some transdimensional gate in Gobi. Lol. What the hell.. Later she was trying to get me to buy Mongolian yurts.

    Related to the JWs, sometimes I've wondered if I should join some extreme religious organization or cult just for shits and giggles. How quickly would they spot that I wasn't there sincerely? I would guess there is some kind of common pattern of behavior the new recruits go through and if you deviate too much they start to suspect something's up. Like if you're just too eager to accept everything in face value it seems suspicious. Also maybe I would need some backstory why I seem like a likely candidate. A recovering alcoholic or some other personal problem.

    It sounded like an interesting idea to join something that's basically a cult to just escape a 6 months of service.

    When I was young and working at a municipal library my coworker was a JW. She tried to get me to join JWs by telling me that they don't have to do the military service or civil service in Finland. Too bad I had just finished my military service a couple of months earlier.

    This morning I had a breakfast in a gay bar. Which sounds much more interesting than it really was so I'm just going to leave out the backstory to keep the story itself more interesting.

    Thomas Midgley Jr, the guy who invented leaded gasoline, got a lead poisoning when he was trying to prove that leaded gasoline can't cause lead poisoning. Fun fact: He's also said to have "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history" because besides coming up with the leaded gasoline he came up with the idea of using CFCs for refrigeration and air conditioning.

    Yeah, it's most likely just my LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn provides an API for companies to search for "talents". I guess there's nothing really to stop the companies to just upload the data they find to their own database. In my head the scenario for the whole thing plays out something like this: HR or whoever is responsible for recruiting at Amazon has some sort of quota for candidates, but they can't fill their quota because people just ignore the Amazon recruiters so instead of contacting the people first they start storing the potential applicants directly to the database. Basically corporate bullshit. But how is this good look for Amazon anyway? They need to sort of shanghai people to be candidates. Meanwhile people are willing to jump through lots of hoops to go work at Google. And who would want to apply for a job at Amazon if they treat, not even the candidates, but the potential candidates like this. How are you going to be treated as an employee in this kind of environment?

    I've griped here before about recruiting but this really takes the cake. Amazon added me automatically as a job candidate to their systems just based on the public data they could find on me. I have never ever applied to work in Amazon. WTF is this bullshit? So, I sent them the request to immediately delete my data as is my right as an EU citizen. They haven't processed it yet but in the reply there was an interesting bit in the automatic reply: So they will delete the data only if they are legally required to. This is some next level bullshit. Amazon keeps a job candidate database without the consent of the "candidates". Amazon basically just decides that they can treat anyone as their potential slave.

    The Finland's biggest newspaper deabbreviated IDM as "intellectual dance music" and it's somehow even worse, lol. Otherwise the article is mostly about SAW 1 and a few paragraphs generally on AFX (the usual bank vault and tank shit) and some other releases.

    JK Rowling talking about courage and gender identity when she herself hid her gender by using only initials for her author name is some next level irony.

    Apparently the Moomins and Pippi Longstocking are agents of the USA
