Do you have any sources on that?

I’m not trying to call you out, I’m interested in reading more.

Most of my actual thoughts in the shower revolve around destroying whatever made me leave the house, thus necessitating a shower on THEIR schedule.

I like showers, and love a hot bath… I don’t love water prices here locally.

Kali was built out as a penetration testing distro, though it does contain some diagnostic tools.

Not a bad place to start if you’re used to Debian, but it is a rolling release so it may break unexpectedly, or have new bugs introduced with each update.

A persistent USB with just Debian could have all the same tools installed but have a longer support scope on releases so you don’t have to update daily (bleeding edge) which is nice to reduce read/writes to the flash drive it’s on.

That being said, I keep a Kali live image (persistent) but thats becauae its home - my first introduction to Linux was 5 minutes with Red Hat, but aside from a brief intro in highschool, I really started with Linux in Backtrack, offensive security’s predecessor to Kali.

Yes, I have to learn things the hard way lol.

Its simple, you don’t even think about it while crossing.

Planning a drive? Maybe reroute in case a train is stuck.

Being pissed that a train is approaching and you missed the light? Sucks, shoulda left earlier.

Though I suppose more restricted access to the tracks would be beneficial.

I knew a person who chose a train as their method to exit this hellhole. Just walked right onto the tracks, and the engineer didn’t think anything of a person walking beside the tracks because it runs next to a main thoroughfare, a lot of traffic, even on foot. She just stepped on the tracks, no guardrail or anything to hop over even.

For anyone offering well wishes or to seek therapy… I knew this person from work, we were never close, and both of us had exited that job for other reasons.

Just a name and a picture in the newspaper alerted my BIL, who worked in the same building and had more of a working relationship with that person.

He isn’t fine, but that has nothing to do with the person who commited suicide via train lol.

The problem isn’t the customer’s expectations (within rational limits of course) the problem is all the levels of managent giving the customer satisfaction because they don’t understans, and always forget thr last part about taste.

I know, that if I go to a Walmart and start a big enough fuss, Walmart will give as little as they can (to often monetarily desperate) to get them to stop causing a scene.

I worked in electronics, and per protocol had to inspect a returned PS2. It was physically beat up, had paint splotches on it, and it would not power on, and thr serial number was missing.

I said no. Simple as that. Not paid enough to fight customers. They wanted a manager. Two hours later they walked out with fucking cash.

You say we don’t need more policing, but I have a point to interject.

I was completely sober while my wife was decidedly… not. She had just struck me and it would produce a black eye later.

I called the police, aside from the abuse, my wife was experiencing a mental breakdown and was on the verge of suicide. When I say verge, I mean I had hidden or destroyed anything she could hurt herself with, including my own psych meds that I need for my own mental health issues. She still tried, though ineffectual. We needed professional help. We wanted an ambulance. We requested an ambulance from 911. The pigs showed up, of course.

I had a swelling eye, a witness, and a dramatically unstable wife and was almost arrested.

The police do not care about your well being. “Serve and protect” has been stricken down by the Supreme Court. The police serve the 1%, and deal with us plebians as easily as possible… that is to say, they will ruin your life because it is easier than taking care of the actual offender.

We need a support agency for health, especially mental health, crises. A mentally unstable person can cause a lot of damage, either to their own life, or others. That includes death.

End statement. TL;DR; we need a public agency that helps people who are having a mental health crisis and doesn’t treat them as violent extremists.
