Her Majesty Laurie only bestows a few CCWs to a handful of business people and her buddies. People can apply for CCWs all they want, but she'll never issue them willingly. She's a bureaucrat and a crook keeping the populace defenseless and maintaining LE job security.

The most important part is to never get lazy by always keeping skills current, never accepting something is impossible and roll up sleeves to dig deep. Do what other people won't, i.e., confirm/refute root causes with evidence rather than shrugging.

I love it when they give you "homework" that they just forget about. They asked me about numerous technologies, and I went to explain them, but wasn't given a chance. The CTO poo-pooed my résumé like it was difficult to read. He must've felt threatened and so sabotage my shot. They ushered me out the door almost like throwing me out by security; so incredibly rude. I didn't get the job obviously but they later asked me to interview again but I told them to "fuck right off." No, you don't get a second chance to unprofessionally dis me, and I won't work with or for such narcissistic slave-drivers. I didn't care about my rep in this instance because they're clowns who would never amount to anything. Don't be unprofessional, even if someone else is.

A few weeks later, I got a $10k/week consulting contract for a funded startup already in acquihire talks.

Don't settle for BS or bend-over backwards for jerks because it will just get worse. It's not worth your mental health.

Basically, reduce all forms of stimulus and let your mind space-out without any intention.

Civil marriage and some wills should be replaced with a property and next of kin registered document. This way, any number and type of people can formally-declare what they want to do with property and health, financial, and total power of attorney. Insurance companies and other service products can then determine who is eligible to share benefits based on if someone is listed as a partner or beneficiary, or not. No more titles, relations, or mandates about who is what or how into two boxes: just beneficiaries and partners.

A couple have a kid? No problem.

Two women want to get hitched? Easy.

Three dudes want to live polyamorously and be "married?" Cool. (Obviously, can't let 30 people in a commune share the benefits of one worker.)

A dude and a trans girl? Fine.

The same document solves some problems of inheritance too when it can obviate the need for executors in simple estates.

Telling people who they can love, share their lives with, and depend on goes against individual freedoms.

I've come to enable you again

Because an ad softly shouting

Left its seeds while I was watching

And the headache, that was planted in my brain... still remains

Within the sound of content

In restless dreams of unskippable ads I walked alone.

Narrow windows of portrait mode

Neath the halo of dark mode

I turned my brightness to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon ad

That split the night

And touched the sound, of content.

I get every PR means can help as part of a holistic strategy for awareness.

# Maybe mostly commercial inventions.

International Men's Day
