My buddy and I are sitting at the bar at Mioposto. We definitely look progressive (tattoos and piercings and clothes we were wearing). This corporate shill of a human was sat next to us drinking wine and using his laptop.

He overhears we are from Michigan and goes “I work for Microsoft and I work with community outreach about data centers and we are building one in Michigan right now. What are your thoughts?”

I proceed to have a civil conversation with the guy about my concerns about AI and the rollback of corporate regulation that we have experienced under the current admin. He offered some stats about how actually data centers create booming economies and they actually don’t use that much water blah blah. Essentially using me as practice for his eventual town hall discussion with residents who simply don’t care for giant data centers being built.

I am new to the area and obviously there’s a lot of money around here so that type of person is very common. But I just wanted to come on here and say tech people make me ill. I think you’re all gross. Fuck your data centers, fuck AI, and fuck project 2025

Insurance is going to lapse for me because of too much time off in between contract

According to COBRA eligibility statement, it says I have 60 days to enroll from current contract end date and I will be covered retroactively. I only have 30 days off between current contract and next contract. I will get insurance again once I start next month

I only want the insurance for an emergency, so I’m thinking I’m not going to sign up unless something happens to me during those 30 days I’m off. It says I’m covered retroactively so I should be good? Would love to save $650

Any idea if there’s a particular agency that has any Portland job opportunities? Used Aya and Trusted before, haven’t seen anything the past month when browsing

What makes a movie an “A24 movie”? Production or distribution? Has to be both?

I was scrolling through my list of A24 movies I’ve watched and noticed there are more in my list than the website has listed. Also on the official letterboxd account.

This Place Rules (2022), Architecton (2024), The Deepest Breath (2023), Look into my eyes (2024) are the ones I’m specifically referring to but I’m sure there are others
