Sounds like a great time for that age verification/face scanning/id scanning, right? Right?

Texas and Florida are basically the most active sources of vomit and feces stains on the north American continent. This does not surprise me

florida is a swamp that will fall into the ocean eventually, and texas will cook to death from the desert+climate change, or when the feral pigs take over the state,.

I ain't choose to live here bruh

[–] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

There's plenty of people that have lived there continually since before Texas existed.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Plenty of highways to get outta there, man.

with what money and place to live lol, my gofundme ain't for show in this economy

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

true, and most blue states have HCOL-MHCOL too.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

yeah, only reason i can afford to live in this blue state is i can't afford to live here. multigenerational home and shit, looking into a cheap RV so i can move out, go work for the parks department or some shit.

[–] lostepisodesfoundagain@kbin.earth 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

as someone who had an RV, don't fucking do it. move to Kentucky or Tennessee, abysmally cheap rent.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

looking at a cheap insulated toy hauler so i can load up my trike and be a camp host. i have goals dude.

[–] lostepisodesfoundagain@kbin.earth 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

With Mexico now having universal healthcare, there's no better time to try.

corporations angry that hackers might steal the money the companies were planning to steal from consumers

From the article it seems like this is mostly the hunting and wildlife department, not driver's licenses. It still sucks, but the headline is not technically correct because it is hunting and wildlife license owners.

*Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

The only IT departments I’ve seen who are more overworked and under qualified than government is health care and educational institutions.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And this isn’t even on the IT department themselves. It’s the usual suspect: 3rd party vendor contracted to store data. But yes, the point still stands that they are overworked, underpaid, and sometimes underqualified.

If they weren’t overworked and underpaid they wouldn’t need third parties for that stuff.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 22 hours ago

companies seem to dont value IT alot, because it "costs them too much money"
