I asked her what the fuck she was thinking later in the process. She knew that files weren't supposed to be there She just thought it was a good idea, and was very defensive borderline offensive about being able to store files wherever she wanted.

My first inclination was she was just putting non-work-related stuff in there so that her manager would never see it. But no, there were hundreds of megs of work related stuff. I recommended she not store the 500 megs of personal digital camera fodder on what computer if she was that tight on space. Hard drives of this era were only a handful of gigs large. She just flipped out some more demanded a bigger disc. I had a private consult with her manager and mentioned that We could get a bigger desk but it was going to come out of her budget. She declined.

A year later we did SOX compliance and as part of that we deleted emails over 3 months and deleted any recycling bin data over a month old. I made sure her manager noted this and that it would delete her preferred file storage and never heard another word out of them.

I shit you not, IT around 2004, I had a nurse who stored all her important docs in "Recyle Bin"

She put in a ticket that her computer was slow. We scheduled a time to look at it and made sure she knew to be there.

When I showed up, she had left to go to lunch on purpose so she could take a free long lunch. I asked her manager to call her back in, she refused.

I diagnosed she was out of space, and emptied her bin.

That did not end up going well.

She was furious, Her boss was mad. My boss was pissed that it happened but considered it reasonable since she refused to be there.

I spent the better part of 4 hours undeleting deleted recycle bin contents which is WAYYYYYY harder than undeleting deleted files. They're already UUID's and bringing them back into existence will not put them back in the recycle bin, all that meta is gone.

this baffles me.

The "left" has absolutely failed to produce any candidate willing to fight for socialized healthcare, workers rights, anti-genocide, proper immigration, lifting up the poor, increased salaries and taxing the rich.

Stewart has been bipartisanly slinging shit at every politician doing stupid shit for years. He's politically educated absolutely amazing at speaking.

Our political system is on rails, we are only capable of fielding corporate shills, and only in two flavors: the ones that want to kill the poor and immigrants, and the ones that just want them to almost but not quite starve.

It is quite impossible to third-party someone organically; it may not even be possible to third party someone with money and connections.

Either way, you won't have to worry about it, they'll dismantle enough of the vote (already underway) that it doesn't matter what people do, we're going to stay on these rails until a true uprising happens. And we'll probably live to see armed atlas bots patrolling the streets mowing down 'dissidents'. It's only a matter of time.

No sane capable person would. That's why all the people that make it there are there for the power or the money.
