I feel you re HR paperwork. It's like me trying to settle Mom's estate, 18 months in and counting. Good luck! At least you can start the State part of stuff. And don't fret RE fingerprinting; I had to get it done for A) taking the bar B) being admitted as an attorney C) taking the Foreign Service Exam D) getting my Estonian passport E) taking the SAT believe it or not -- yes, they fingerprinted a bunch of high schoolers; I don't think they do that anymore but it was A Thing. Probably more times but those are just the ones I remember.

Aaah, thanks for the reminder! Full fingerprints in the UK when I registered as a student there; part of getting on the student health program there and it sure saved my butt. I was very compliant and literally got fingerprinted and registered within 72 hours of landing. Which is good because I promptly got a UTI 2 days after that and a serious sinus infection a few days after I stopped the antibiotics for the UTI. People like to piss on the NHS but let me tell you it was seamless, efficient, and AVAILABLE. When I brought my first prescription to a pharmacy, the pharmacist heard my accent and started to inform me of the out of pocket costs etc....I took out my little green booklet and he said "oh, nevermind, good on you...." Apparently a lot of American students doing a year abroad never bothered to properly register with the authorities and like clockwork, the pharmacies closest to the dorms were constantly telling pissed off self-entitled Yanks that no, their meds are not covered (and nor were any doc visits outside of the crappy student clinic if you had to see a specialist etc). Remember laying out 2 quid and change for any scrip in the UK -- about $5 back then when the pound was 2x stronger than the dollar. Like everything else in the 80s though I was able to get by on very little; the local Indian student cantine had a daily bowl of something good either with rice or a naan for 3 pounds and change and if I wanted to eat in the student cafeteria it was less than 2 pounds per meal. But I digress!

Yes RE Elmo's Know Nothing Crew. The richest man in the world literally spent more than it would take to provide free healthcare as an experiment to the entire country for F knows how long on a social media platform just so that he could give his fascist pals bullhorns and cudgles. Turns Twitter into a flaming dumpster fire of stupidity, hate, and conspiracy theories and then *checks notes* blames advertisers for fleeing his platform (which I am SO SURE that brining Alex Jones back onboard will fix /s). Lately Elmo has been stoking the anti-Wikipedia sentiment, as well as claiming that The Guardian, BBC, etc are all "parts of the global mind control conspiracy." Anything Elmo doesn't like is "woke." And to say that Shitter has turned into Anti-Semitism Central is an understatement also.

There was one troll a year or two back who I was convinced was using tactics right out of the 8chan playbook -- a highly monetized and studied strategy.
