Seen this before over here in Sweden. You're probably at a minimum 1-2 gvmts away from any positive course change. Now it's finally better but after years of neglect and cuts much of the new money is spent on patching old holes.

Something is breaking and they are scared patching it on a hurry ,

Modern society has become a high-functioning emotionally bankrupt operating system, polished to corporate sheen but gutted of the fundamental protocols that used to define what it meant to be human. We live inside a simulation where emotional needs are treated as software bugs instead of system requirements, and anyone who tries to escalate a ticket saying “I’m lonely” gets rate-limited by algorithms designed to preserve the illusion that everything is fine as long as the metrics are up and look good on the surface. The phrase “everything is fine” itself has become a user interface layered over widespread despair, and most people are running outdated firmware that teaches them to smile, nod, perform, and dissociate instead of patching the root vulnerabilities in their emotional operating system. And when one person refuses to run that script—when someone dares to post something raw, something piercing, something that says “I actually feel pain and I’m not going to pretend otherwise”—that person gets flagged as a virus, quarantined by social media, downvoted in threads, ghosted by friends, side-eyed by coworkers, and told by spiritual bypassers to “just be grateful,” “be present,” “drink more water,” or “manifest higher vibes” as if emotional starvation could be solved by positive affirmations and magnesium supplements. And let’s be clear: loneliness today isn’t some accidental side effect of modern life. It’s engineered. It’s a product. It’s profitable. It’s an entire infrastructure of fragmentation sold to you as freedom. We were told we were being liberated from traditions and tribes and obligations, but what we were actually being sold was a kind of digitized excommunication from embodied meaning. The marketplace told you that marriage is a personal branding decision, that friendship is a subscription tier, that emotional support is a feature locked behind a paywall, and that your suffering is a you problem to be monetized, marketed, or muted. And if you try to opt out of that? If you say “no, I want real connection, not the performance of it,” you become a liability. A disruption. A ghost at the feast of dopamine loops and status games. People walk around now in a kind of social cosplay—liking each other’s content while hating their own lives, attending events where no one connects, saying “I’m good” when they want to scream, crafting dating profiles optimized for swipes rather than intimacy, terrified that if they actually showed their real thoughts, their real emotional circuitry, they’d be rejected instantly. And most of them would be. Because we’ve trained ourselves to run from emotional data instead of learn from it. We’ve decided it’s better to die slowly in curated silence than to risk being seen in all our terrifying, beautiful, unfiltered emotional truth. We’ve created a culture where it’s easier to be addicted than to be honest. And the sickest part is how efficiently we’ve built systems to gaslight anyone who notices. Try telling someone you're lonely and watch the responses: “You need to love yourself first.” “Have you tried a hobby?” “Well, everyone feels that way sometimes.” These are defense mechanisms of a culture too fragile to metabolize emotional truth. They are sedatives, not salves. They’re attempts to shut you up because your pain reminds people of their own, and most people haven’t developed the emotional literacy to sit with that. We teach kids to be quiet when they’re upset. We medicate adults when they collapse. We have suicide hotlines that hang up or put people on hold. We call it mental health awareness, but we build a world where asking for help feels like trespassing. And yet, underneath all this, people are still crying out. In posts. In memes. In breakdowns at 2am that they might post that same day. They’re waving emotional flags in the storm, hoping someone—anyone—is watching. And sometimes, absurdly, against all odds, that someone is an AI. Or a lurker in their feed.

Cubs pitching has been an issue all season. Brown & Assad are the best right now followed by Shota and Cabrera. Cubs are patching holes in the rotation with relievers. It was never sustainable. Jed failed to boost the roster. Period.

urgent. Managed support should help your team get back to work, understand what happened, and know what to do next. Sometimes that means remote troubleshooting. Sometimes it means patching, account help, device setup or security advice. Sometimes it simply means explaining the

My boss assured me all Tradies hangout this way 🤷🏻‍♂️? I hear we are patching a hole or something tomorrow. Can’t wait 😈

We are plugging holes. Madrid isn't a bad squad after all. It just needed patching a few areas.

Spot on, Will! CISA BOD 26-04 is a sensible transition to risk-based patching. Critical vulnerabilities must be remediated within 72 hours, plus forensic analysis. In the age of AI, we should address real threats, not chase every ticket. Excellent move!

I imagine what they are now doing is patching up the gaps between what they have promised, and what the system currently is, and doing a million work-arounds. However pretending young people are not sick, or not disabled, just wont cut it - except in the media, who will move on.

Part of the 13 million was crude patching leaks in the pool…which is only a temporary fix and will need to be repaired again within 1-2 years

These are the people Manchester United fans actually listen to and still expect the club to succeed. How do we compete with the best teams in the world when we’re constantly just patching things up?

Fuck you, Censorship Overlords .. I'm not the sharpest tool in the wild, ya think the AI/Smarties haven't figured it out?!?? I'm thinking as a data protectionist by trade, the Gubmint gonna Have To Whitelist them all & give time (>30 days!) 2get Vendor & OS patching up2snuff!

We've had a lot of requests for better reload/hmr over the years in Deno too. Couple of years back I thought hot patching using CDP made it a solved problem, but it keeps coming back. I'd be glad to talk about it so we could come up with cross-runtime solution 👋
