must be a psyop agent from the “enemy”.
You might be.
I’m pointing out the government is shit
Nobody is claiming it doesn’t have problems. If you haven’t been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.
Our government is the best in the world
As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.
Or a non-US psyop agent, or a GOP supporter
Sort of. Another way of thinking about it. Clips feed magazines, magazines feed guns.

clips.
Magazines. Magazines include a feeding mechanism, usually a spring. Clips just hold bullets together.
They all have mags in them. Hopefully they aren’t chambered.
My guess is the AI was trained on a combination of cat videos and sponge bob.
For my fellow Americans, if you haven’t already voted, get off your ass and vote.
So you are advocating not voting or voting red? Voting absolutely makes a difference at the local level where zoning laws affect car dependency or lack thereof.
What’s your plan?
Considering how many folks here in the US vote based on economics, the choice is obvious in Florida. No government policy will make any kind of property insurance affordable in Florida with how much global warming is kicking their ass. One party will at least pay lip service to to doing something. The other has denied it exists or is a problem.
Part of the problem with increasing fuel prices is the US is super car dependant. I agree, higher prices would drive demand down, but we also need to start building up non car transportion and start updating zoning laws yesterday. I don’t know how anyone else in the US thinks driving all the time is desirable or convenient. It’s $$$$, traffic sucks, it’s dangerous and scary, and people need to get around in states where they shouldn’t be driving. It’s insanity.
Conservative = my group is better than yours so we deserve power and resources
Tactics:
Scape goating a weak group to sell it to a lower class (E.g. Pre MLK US blacks - poor whites)
Appealing to fear and presenting a protector strong man
Appealing to tradition and good old days (that sucked)
Anti intellectualism
Wastewater? Maybe get a job at your local plant or office? They need all sorts of people: customer service, maintenance, engineers, automotive, chemists, IT, etc. The alternative is dumping raw sewage in water ways. They sometimes have apprenticeship programs.
ETA: Best job security in the world. People aren’t going to stop shitting anytime soon. People don’t want rivers of shit. So…
ETA2: I know you said you are coming in unskilled, but a lot of better places to work will pay for education if you wanted to go from say customer service to engineering or something.
2024 resolution. Make 2023 peak oil

A number of measures to help students concentrate are taken during the annual event such as closing the country’s airspace and delaying the opening of the stock market.
That is what thinking of the children really looks like. Here in the US we just make stupid age verification laws for porn sites like it is going to make porn hard for teenagers to get.
Unless you REALLY need color, just buy a Brother BW laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry up. It is all but guaranteed to be the cheapest option. I bought the scanner BW laser printer combo like 8 years ago for $130.
So you want to advance to a higher level and have a broad interests?
You failed some MS cert exam?
You have a review coming up?
Broad interests. Don’t miss the forest for the trees. Learn core concepts and things that are useful in many contexts rather than specifics. This is where a lot of newbies go wrong. E.g. don’t learn about AD, learn LDAP and AD, OpenLDAP, DS389, will all come much easier. In most roles some basic programming with Python will come in handy. Once you learn to write code in one language, learning others comes a lot faster. Some worthwhile things to have a foundational grasp of: PKI and how it is used by SSH and TLS, a high level understanding of common network protocols. Peruse IETF RFCs for that. E.g. if you know how say DNS works, you can manage it using any DNS server software. Ditto http and web servers. You will need to learn configuration management SW and monitoring SW. I prefer salt stack and zabbix. There are many good choices.
Seriously learn PKI and TLS. I can recommend some good sources. TLS is used by pretty much everything to secure connections. Backup server to agent, browser to web server, AV to server, you name it.
Open Source is your friend, learn a bit about big projects. E.g. say you get good with backups and want to work for your favorite product vendor. That fancy backup appliance or cloud service is probably running Linux or FreeBSD on the metal and using something like Tomcat for the WebUI.
I wouldn’t try to impress your supervisor. Chances are, they’ll see through it. They may or may not care about their employees. Assume they don’t. Don’t assume the worst either. You can almost always trust interests. Their job in an MSP environment is to make sure contractual requirements are met and clients are happy. Focus on where your interests are aligned. Happy clients mean less headaches for you and your boss. I would let them lead the conversation, but focus on that aspect. If a lot of clients use X thing, mention that to your boss that you want to learn more about X thing as it will help you close tickets faster.
There are no guarantees. Life is just like a hold em game. The only thing you can do is make good decisions based on the information available. Sometimes a dumbass with 2-7 off keeps calling your bet when you hold AA and catches two pair on the turn and river. The only thing you can do is not get tilted and keep making smart plays. Variance is a massive asshole. Eventually you will come out ahead.
