@jscholes @FreakyFwoof @MoonCat I'm saying that we can and often do discriminate and/or show/hold prejudices against people and lack of awareness doesn't change that. It might mitigate it, and assuming that lack of awareness being pointed out by someone telling you that thing you did/said was ableist or whatever results in your deciding to change the situation by making yourself aware, then lack of awareness isn't+

@JustinMac84 @FreakyFwoof @MoonCat So I've read this entire thread and honestly Justin's comments re: what counts as ableism remind me a whole lot of the shit defenses I've heard over the last almost decade regarding Trump's or Elon's or Kanye's antisemitism. At what point does lack of awareness stop being a get out of jail free card for this stuff?

I hope you find something that will work and will taste good.

@bryansmart Bryan is right that if you're going to drop out, and do this without college, you need to have a clear plan with action goals/steps because there isn't a clear path you can fork from someone else that will necessarily work for you.

@bryansmart Having read this thread and the resulting replies, I'm assuming that by low-level Cisco you mean CCNA? If that's the case, I'd say dropping out is fine, if you can be reasonably certain that you don't want any Cisco certs above that low-level stuff. Cyber security/infosec is almost certainly out, because the software you need to use to do your job/complete the certs/gain the experience is inaccessible. +

I hope your anxiety settles down Rick and that you have a good rest of day.

Mmmm homemade soup.

@amanda We had a couple windows open for a while but I've closed them because it's supposed to get cooler tonight.

Um yes.

Can you share your recipe?

@pixelfed I hope your partner has a speedy recovery BP is the pits. Been there done that and felt like absolute crap for qhite a while, to say nothing of the outward symptoms.

Good afternoon Lyn I'm glad you're having a pleasant afternoon.

Coffee with a shot of whisky is a very pleasant experience. 8-oz. coffee to 1-oz. whisky. For sipping not guzzling.

Yeah. If you're going to do that, make sure you eat a good breakfast. Actually you should do that anyway but especially if you're going to thoroughly enjoy the coffee. With or without a shot of whisky.

OK so it sounds like we use about the same amount of coffee when it's all said and done. Our scoop is just smaller but it works out to almost a cup by the time it's time to add the water.

Are you using a traditional scoop or something else?

Yes. I enjoy coffee very much.

Only two? Try three. We do that every day for at least two pots.

Oh man I hope at least the coffee's good and also that you can get a better night's sleep tonight.

I really hadn't though far enough to get this album but I think I might have to change my mind and get it because based on all the tracks I've heard it seems like it will be thoroughly enjoyable.
