I’m a bit confused by this.

Does this imply that the human race is drastically more sexually fluid than most species when allowed to be without oppression? Or that the culture gen z has grown up in helps cultivate a more fluid preference?

I grew up in the 80s, so I’m trying to understand, but it’s tough meshing statements like this with my experiences.

Please don’t misunderstand this post as disapproval. Just confusion.

I am a contractor for the federal government. When it shuts down, we stop work, and don’t get paid. There are 3 major contract companies that do the IT work for my agency. None of them do what you claim. General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC. There are over 2,500 of us that simply do not get paid until work begins again after the shutdown. I’m not sure where you got your information. I have personally been through 3 complete shutdowns in my tenure with 5 different contact companies over 10+ years.

We only THIS YEAR implemented an option for critical services which do not require federal oversight to continue having support staff, but that’s only at a half capacity and not guaranteed.

Contractors don’t get paid. Most government agencies employ as many contractors as feds, if not more.

I wish this was talked about more so people would better realize the actual impact on lives. Contracted workers just get the middle finger. No retro pay whatsoever. And if it lasts long enough, no health insurance either…

Do you grill, pan fry, broil, other(?) I love grilled burgers, but it’s a hassle vs popping something in the oven. And flat top grills are even better, but 10x the mess to clean up. Pan fried never tastes that great for me. But maybe I don’t know what I’m doing.

Agreed 1000%

Or if page 6 has 1 single post that loads because the rest are on page 7.

That was exactly what I thought too. It sounded as though the crowd loved his rhetoric, giving me the impression they either accept it as truth, or at least makes them feel that their displeasure with progress is validated…

Disheartening. It’s the only word that fits. Fucking disheartening.

Without dealing with side loading, is there a trick to force a pixel 6 to update OTA on Google Fi?

I know in the past you could clear the storage for certain Google services on the device and it would magically find an update that it claimed wasn’t available 10 seconds prior. But I’ve been out of the game for a bit. Do those tricks still work? My Google Fi pixel 6 doesn’t show an update is available and I’m still on 13. I’ve only tried rebooting and trying again so far.

Not for federal contractors, which makes up an enormous percentage of government employment.
