Sounds like a great time for that age verification/face scanning/id scanning, right? Right?

USA is at its weakest government to date. if it cant stop that, sure as fuck cant stop more dangerous attacks.

Texas and Florida are basically the most active sources of vomit and feces stains on the north American continent. This does not surprise me

[–] lostepisodesfoundagain@kbin.earth 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I ain't choose to live here bruh

[–] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

There's plenty of people that have lived there continually since before Texas existed.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone -4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Plenty of highways to get outta there, man.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

true, and most blue states have HCOL-MHCOL too.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yeah, only reason i can afford to live in this blue state is i can't afford to live here. multigenerational home and shit, looking into a cheap RV so i can move out, go work for the parks department or some shit.

[–] lostepisodesfoundagain@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

as someone who had an RV, don't fucking do it. move to Kentucky or Tennessee, abysmally cheap rent.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

looking at a cheap insulated toy hauler so i can load up my trike and be a camp host. i have goals dude.

[–] lostepisodesfoundagain@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With Mexico now having universal healthcare, there's no better time to try.

[–] 123@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pretty sure they are starting with older people and you would need to be a Mexican citizen to begin with (?).

florida is a swamp that will fall into the ocean eventually, and texas will cook to death from the desert+climate change, or when the feral pigs take over the state,.

You try so hard to never post any photos or locations online, and then shit like this happens...

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 27 points 2 days ago

corporations angry that hackers might steal the money the companies were planning to steal from consumers

The only IT departments I’ve seen who are more overworked and under qualified than government is health care and educational institutions.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And this isn’t even on the IT department themselves. It’s the usual suspect: 3rd party vendor contracted to store data. But yes, the point still stands that they are overworked, underpaid, and sometimes underqualified.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

If they weren’t overworked and underpaid they wouldn’t need third parties for that stuff.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

companies seem to dont value IT alot, because it "costs them too much money"

[–] Thassodar@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From the article it seems like this is mostly the hunting and wildlife department, not driver's licenses. It still sucks, but the headline is not technically correct because it is hunting and wildlife license owners.

Everything is bigger in texas, especially their nonstop stream of failures and bad choices.
