That explains why my ex complained about me lasting so long. Like legitimately complained.

It's probably the medicines I've taken since I was a teenager then. If 5 minutes is a marathon, 45-60 must be some cruel form of torture.

I got that part, but there is no way many guys last under 5 minutes right? That's the joke itself

Ok so where does this joke come from?

Like yeah I haven't gotten laid in a couple of years, but it's always been a book an appointment thing for me.

So is the joke guys really take so long and women get bored and sore with it? Like an "opposite" thing? Like "when you wanna make a sex tape, please let it be a Tik tok?"

So, I definitely do a job.

They call me PO. I'm hired as a Software Engineer. My manager says I'm a Tech Lead for the "Product Operating Model." My principal SWE expects me to contribute to developmenf. My product manager expects me to be an expert on what we're making. The development team I was given has a strict adherance to Scrum. They call me a product owner.

The scrum guide expects me to contribute only in the product owner roles. That means I get to write up the backlog! But I also have to do code reviews. And I advocate for the business. I do not get to participate in development (conflict 1). I have so many meetings I dont know who is the SMEs on the product im building (conflict 2).

I looked up my job description one day. And it is so vague I can't argue it.

I refuse to go on a track for more promotions. This job is way too stressful because because there's a lot of things I can do, I just can't.

So, in my professional opinion?

Lying on your Resume might get you fired. But it also might make no lick of difference

You know what the protests had a ton of?

Boomers. That is a good sign that I heavily anticipated. Boomers need that social security.

But us millennials and gen-zers need to rememember - Boomers used to be far more politically active than we ever were. My parents we active in the 70s and 80s. I've had great aunts and uncles tear gassed. Many arrested, one arrested multiple times (and she has not stopped protesting as she never had kids).

I'm personally bringing out my inner Zelensky - the guy when from comedian body to military body once Russia invaded again. If the old people out there have health events, you can bet your ass we need to save them.

I respect the mindset but in practice I'm far too paranoid about getting the cops called on me for indecent exposure.

I know the law is blah blah blah expectation of privacy in a home, but you tell me Karen won't glimpse me playing beat saber fully dressed in my birthday suit and immediately call the cops tell them the neighbor in basement is flashing himself in his home to her and the neighbor kids coming by.

If I could remember to always check my blinds, maybe I would. Well. Not when my son is around, cause I remember that as a kid and it was more like "uuuuuughhhhh whyyy?"

At least 1400 registered. Small tiny ass towns with a population of a couple hundred have 40 people show up. Bigger towns of 200k with 2-5k.

Big cities with millions having tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, possibly even over a million in one instance.

1m people was a minimum. 2m was likely. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 3 or 4 million.

If that number is reliable. It would be nice.

Exponentially larger than the last protests, thats for sure.

The only number I can find thats more reliable is the 2.3m which is still big.

FWIW I heard it second hand too, but they pointed me at a couple of different sources, none of which I could actually verify.

Supposedly the 2.3m is an old estimate though, and it's gone up. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

I thought I had the source, but I was wrong.

I can't verify it.

I can't actually. I thought it was something it wasn't and now I'm really confused.

Oh forgot to add this:

Et vive la liberté !

Remember, billionaires do not want people organizing at all.

All the US tv stations are owned by one oligarch or another. None of them have broadcast much of the numbers. They merely do report these things as "large and significant" to say that they aren't behind on the happenings, but they'll spare the details until things like AP and Guardian, and NPR start reporting with solid facts.

That's why I have been a strong advocate for making sure the crowds are visualized. It's harder to discount.

Tens of thousands estimates from organizers are that it's a hell of a lot larger than that.

I guess in theory you could do that. I'm not exactly sure what that buys anyone though

Current estimates are 2.3 million across 1400 organized protests.

Now, Europeans, what was you saying?

Edit: estimate is now at 3.5million

Source was something else I was wrong

Edit 2: Yeah, take the numbers with a grain of salt. I'm sure we'll hear the actual numbers sooner rather than later.

:)

They are big crowds. Small towns. Big cities. Old people, young people.

The important part is remembering one thing. There are more of us than there are of the ones in power.

No, we need photos of the crowds. Avoids faces, censor what you can with a black dot in paint.

People need to know they are not alone. They are empowered.
