My desk job

In my experience, most bureaucrats want to help you. Yes, there are bureaucrats who just love the process or those who somehow bend the process for there own self interest. However most get into that line of work because they actually care about their cause and want to do right. BE NICE even when it seems pointless and ridiculous. It is amazing how much help you can get if you don’t approach it with a huge ego.

Does project 2025 get rid of the IRS? If so, how would this be enforced?

Here in a red state, when I venture into the real world, I still see Trump flags everywhere. Much more so than I recall in 2016. They definitely have upped their merchandise game. On the other hand I see many more Harris/Walz signs than I ever saw in support of Clinton. When I talk to people I get much more passion about Harris than I ever heard about Clinton or Biden. It is more akin to Obama’s first term, if not even more intense. This time around Trump is vehemently disliked. During Trump’s first campaign he was a disruptor and there was a lot of curiosity about what that meant. That has been replaced with fear and hatred. My few remaining social media friends who support Trump seem to do so from a religious point of view. Somehow they see him as more godly.

Toxic jobs really take a toll on your health, especially if you feel trapped in them. Looking for a new job is really a full time job on itself, it can be hard to do so while already working a full time job. If you feel your job is toxic you should start looking for something new right away - whether you’ve given notice or not. I’ve ended up in the hospital twice from the toll toxic jobs that I felt trapped in took on me. Another thing you can consider is diversifying your income. Ie, a “side hustle”. If you have more than one income stream you won’t be quite as trapped. You also will have something to help buffer the transition between your real jobs.

I often use imagemagick (cli) for cropping, rotating, resizing, etc.

I bet if you cut it vertically the lights will go out.

Nothing about OpenAI is open-source. The name is a misdirection.

If you use my IP without my permission and profit it from it, then that is IP theft, whether or not you republish a plagiarized version.

Most people’s body will change as they age. I haven’t met many who don’t age or never get injured or both. Selecting a partner primarily based on their current appearance means you are using criteria suitable only for short term relationships.
