  • I have a slight personal conundrum. I agree with thus in principle, and so when the company decided everyone would get a laptop (I prefer to work from home, and while computers exist at the office and for some field techs, plus there is a terminal server, until now I used personal 99% of the time) I was excited and happy.

    On the other hand, I’ve done the two phones thing in the past and now I really don’t feel like it. Of course, I don’t want any of their MDM on my phone either, and if they start trying to enforce that I may have to bite demanding a phone too.

    Either way, it should be an option to have either a company phone or reimbursement if you choose to just have your 1 phone. Containerized MDM would be nice too, since that should ostensibly mean a remote wipe only affects their data/apps and prevents personal/work from interacting.






  • I preferred it. Some people are more used to rapid movement types from a controller more than keyboard and mouse. I do use keyboard and mouse for some games, but for ones with this kinda feel in the way camera and moves work, I prefer controller. Monster Hunter is another I prefer controller on, as is FFXIV. Horizon Zero Dawn also.

    Stuff like Mass Effect, Ark, Enshrouded, Deep rock, helldivers, dark tide are all mouse and keyboard.

    People have different preferences and different muscle memory.

    I think I like Hades more on controller too.


  • Which usually includes implied “follow my religious beliefs to be eligible.” A big difference between personal giving and allowing a social safety net is the decision to limit who gets your money. Which I do get; I want my team dollars going to stuff that helps everyone, like welfare, education, transportation, etc, not to military industrial complex or subsidies for already massive and union busting billionaires.

    Still, on the conservative side it tends to aim more towards extremely limited targets, usually filtered through a lens of bigotry.



  • Back when I first ate sushi, my mom always ordered spider rolls. I’d eat them, get an itchy mouth, but assume it was the Wasabi. Then I got braver and ordered other stuff and even with Wasabi, itch gone.

    I already knew I was allergic to shrimp and lobster, but crab had always been fine. Spider crabs and blue crabs are in fact not fine for me. Other shellfish is interesting:

    Can I eat…
    Clams? No.
    Oysters? Yes.
    Mussels? Yes.
    Scallops? Yes.
    Conch? Yes.
    Crabs? Maybe.
    Lobster? No.
    Fish? Yes.
    Shrimp? No.

    So I have a shellfish allergy that doesn’t always trigger. It always triggers with what it does trigger though.


  • I gave a deduced definition, not an endorsement. I will say that I view human rights and human life as more important than private property, but I am in no way encouraging people to harm or steal from someone they just don’t like.

    When someone asked me what I’d do about someone stealing an A/C unit off a house if I didn’t have a gun, my answer was basically “I would not kill someone over an a/c unit.” I stand by that statement.



  • I’m pretty sure it’s more a distinction between people who focus on personal liberties and especially private property vs collectivism and socialism. Basically lots of people aren’t for right wing fascism but still want to own private property, view their personal comforts more important than necessarily the needs of others (NIMBYs I think count here) etc.

    This could be as simple as not liking property damage in protests, still preferring cars and trucks to public transportation, not liking high occupancy buildings in your area etc, at least that’s how I’ve gleaned it as someone who doesn’t use that kinda label myself.

    I could be wrong, but that’s how it feels to me. Closer to centrist or even just original form of libertarian, which some have labeled as being a bit more left wing than US libertarians.
