They’re allowed to override the requirements and grant it anyway.

My sense of direction is bad enough that most people I know say to just do the opposite of what I’m thinking and I’ll probably end up where I’m going.

Shocked Pikachu.

Unfortunately the billionaires and corporations won’t be on the receiving end, it will be everyday people and small business owners.

Can you read gud?

What a shitty platform and a shitty sub.

The world needs more you.

So you’re saying my 5W laser could work? On it.

This doesn’t make sense, I can’t take as big of a bite of a horizontal cut because I can’t nom pointy end first into roughly half the sandwich?

Seriously, it was a fucking sandwich. Pick it up and eat it or something you miserable excuse for a person. God damn.

It was still a sub 25% voter turnout. I want to believe this means tides are turning but I don’t know.

INB4, Dems ignore all indicators and do the same fucking thing they always do.

Or it’s just a false hope handed to us by those we have actually yielded power to, to quell some unrest.

Did you see the turnout numbers? Garbage.

Wake me when people give a damn.

We’re a bunch of peacefully protesting pansies.

The US is done.

I don’t have much more to offer than the other comment offered, but I wish you the best and support you. I’ve been the whistleblower, so to say, at other places of work and it was the right thing to do, regardless of outcome. I also work in a state where one can be fired whenever for whatever.

Wishing you the best.

It still blows my mind the number of people who vote for bills that help billionaires “just in case” they become a billionaire someday. Idiots.

Same people who think peaceful protest at this point in time will yield results.

I used to loathe all things AI. I used to abhor AI coding agents, too.

I actually pushed back against some AI initiatives at some of my jobs.

Fast forward to now, AI does about 60%-80% of my work on a given day. It saves me boatloads of time. Coupled with figma and dev tools MCP servers, it sucks slightly less at CSS. I’ve cobbled together some pretty solid rulesets and tactics for context building that have recently let me tackle an entire month of work in ~2 days, meeting company best practices and code coverage and even gathering demo screen shots for me without me having to do it myself.

I probably spend about $500/month on various AI services now, but I’m cranking out at least 3x what I used to (and being paid commensurate to that output, only way to justify it). It can’t last forever but I have succumbed, reluctantly at first, if only to get what I can from it before it blows up.

As for AI image gen, no. Video? No. Anything ChatGPT or Grok related? No.

How long did that take, wow.

Can it be avoided if the remainder of the estate pays off the home?

Though I guess if that were the case maybe they wouldn’t have gotten a reverse mortgage to begin with…
