Fair enough, it just outdoes any dissonance between T1 and T2 by a factor of 10, hence being curious about your thoughts ;-)

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the "if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward" line of thinking.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

You didn't mention, but they have a good line in scapegoating LGBT people too. They follow Russia as close as possible on that front.

Hey, my wife and her sister moved away about 12 years ago ... it was absolutely the right thing for both of them.

Anyone even halfway intelligent is better off moving away from Hungary. I feel sorry for those who can't speak a foreign language and thus are stuck there.

I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn't include the protagonist committing rape. I've seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.

I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.

How do you feel about Tenet?

Maybe it's worse now, I moved away about 15 years ago. Admittedly the trams were mostly useful for getting to specific areas and didn't cover everything, but a lot of that is constrained by the geography there!

Yes, that's more "me" ... I only do a little light assimilating on the weekends.

Also, Awareness. That was a garbage fire ... how someone got millions to make what amounts to a 12 year old boy's power fantasy is beyond my comprehension.

It is pleasing to see my culture represented in popular media. You may continue.
