Get everything you can get. Start with the A+ then get the Sec ones. A+ gives you a good foundation to get going and the more certs you have the better your chances. You can get a helpdesk job with A+ and from there you can get other certs.

Stick to your plan, don’t let people put you off.

As for your partner, get the meds and don’t tell her. Women over-think these things and despite what they’ll have you believe, they will underestimate what you’re feeling just as much as we can do to them. It’s that human “it worked for me, it’ll work for you” mentality we all fall into sometimes.

Stay consistent with your studies and good luck on your exam.

I beg to differ. Certs are the way to get your foot in the door. It used to always be about the degree but now they’re only interested in what certs you have, the shift happened right after getting my degree.

Like any word it’s used derogatorily by people who are themselves derogatory about everything.

The word itself isn’t derogatory, it just means foot-traveller. We don’t really have a similar term for vehicle or bicycle travel but that’s only because when it was created there was only pedestrian (foot-traveller) and equestrian (horse-travel).

Furthermore, the actual definitions of those words don’t denote the type of travel but rather anything that relates to that type of travel. So you can have pedestrian crossings, equestrian centres etc.

People like that are in a constant battle to prove how exceptional they are while being completely unexceptional. They have no real success stories so they have to create some by painting this image in their heads that they are naturally superior to everyone else. Every one of them have Dunning-Kreuger syndrome.

This was predicted early on with LLMs that the information would eventually go into a feedback loop where the AI feeds off other AI hallucinations and they all go downhill fast.

Grok Vs Meta fighting for the title of artificial stupidity

I’ll say it. It’s AI. I was about to comment that I hate how everyone is adopting this LinkedIn lunatics style of writing:

A thing happened It was this thing Or that thing It was this other thing Platitude.

But you just made me facepalm myself because of course it’s AI. It’s the content creator’s ambrosia.

Turning a corner was like opening a submarine hatch. The brakes locked up causing more accidents and deaths. The suspension allowed the cars to roll easier. And if you were hit by one of them, you had a much higher chance of severe injury or death due to the lack of crumple zone.

People really need to stop looking for solutions to modern problems by looking to the past at the things that were the reason we ended up with the modern problems.

It’s like that retort when people ask why being a slut is viewed negatively while being a stud isn’t, it’s easy to be a slut, it’s not easy to be a stud.

Yeah the only thing we can do in this relationship is NOT give them our business. Which I, ironically, say as a Google pixel owner.

It’s their restaurant they get to make their food however they want and if we don’t like it we just don’t eat there.

Personally I’m looking to change os but when it comes time to replace my phone I’ll be buying European or Asian. If I can rid myself of American businesses in my life, I’ll feel much better.
