They need to do what unions do and take it back by force.

Beyond Betrayal

Do these dumb motherfucker even know what betrayal means? He’s not betraying you, he’s doing what he said he would do. For once in his life you should have believed him.

It’s always projection with these guys.

I hope they know what happened to the Brownshirts.

I have a homeassistant instance connected to a no-name Z-wave thermostat. It’s been flawless for almost 10 years.

Sure they will.

Does anyone believe this jackass’ promises anymore?

He also had a “750-milliliter bottle of 100-proof vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut off the sleeves” in his car.

Fucking pathetic “arsenal” if you’re going to firebomb anything, really.

$6 for a dozen large eggs. $8.50 for 18 at PriceRite.

It’s funny to point out this administration’s complete lack of understanding of… well, everything, but don’t think that a sloppily worded executive order is going to give you any protection in real life.

AT BEST you’re going to get a rational judge who rules in your favor because of it. Until your case is appealed and the Trump appointee reverses that decision.

But in reality you’re not going to have the money/time/energy to challenge this bullshit because the effects are going to be felt a tiny bit at a time, administered by faceless bureaucrats who are too afraid for their own lives to stand up to the fascist machine on your behalf. We’re laughing at this order because it’s not factually correct but IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER IF IT’S CORRECT because they’re going to follow it anyway.

I guess that makes sense. So if they only sell 1 coin out of 1 million and they sell it for $100 then they can walk around saying the lot of coins as a whole are worth $100 million? (obviously a simplified example)

I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.

next Democrat president

LOL. Fascism is here. There will never be another Democrat president.

At the moment a search for #democrat on my facebook page returns a bunch of posts saying that searches for #democrat are blocked and a bunch (more recent ones) saying it isn’t.

I was skeptical that this was an outrage campaign but with a real news source having a quote verifying the behavior from the company (the above referenced article was on the Der Spiegel front page and the update is at the bottom.) I’m less skeptical.

Pushing through a change doesn’t happen by accidentally clicking on a button. Where I work it’s a multistep process requiring manager approval. Even if the block happened by mistake it still means there was a mechanism in place to make it happen, configured so that it only censored left leaning hashtags. This is “not good.”

The first I heard of Trump’s memecoin was a headline declaring it was worth $25 Billion. I’m a pretty online person, so I tend to hear about these things pretty quickly. The article said it was worth $9 billion in 12 hours.

$9 billion is an unimaginable amount of money for any number of people to decide to “invest” in under 12 hours. The only way I can explain that happening is if many, very wealthy people, had been notified about the coin going up for sale ahead of time and wanted to curry favor with Trump.

What a fucking embarrassment this country is.

My brother, a right winger, brought his kids up to visit me last summer.

It was at the end of the week that he told me that I hardly work at all. I’m like: Yeah, I have fucking guests in my house. I was still at my desk when I wasn’t trying to keep 2 teenaged girls entertained.

He moved his family 1000 miles away and 20 years later is lamenting that they have no relationship with the people he moved away from. (I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this lines up with the rise of “Family” talk from right wingers.) This same guy calls other people “Sheeple”.

I was thinking about this movie just the other day. I had no idea that was Jack Black.

This thread is full of people comparing OPs hypothetical about 10 years from now with last year’s capability.

Will AI progress that fast? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It probably won’t get that good, but it doesn’t matter. If it gets as good as your average junior that’s going to mean something like 100% increase in productivity, which means 50% as many jobs and that’s going to be a BIG FUCKING DEAL.

Especially when it’s going to be replacing a lot of other types of office workers. What kind of job is your average software dev going to transition to? Tech support? Not anymore. UI Designer? LOL. Manager? And who are you going to be managing?

If the US doesn’t hit 15-20% unemployment in the next 10 years I’ll eat my hat. I’ll be eating it either way because I’ll be starving to death.

People who were 10 when Self Esteem came out probably think that, yeah.

My dude. Things cost money. That’s a basic fact of life. A rec league needs to rent space to play in. You need gear to play. If those facts taint the activity for you I’m not sure how you can even handle the horrific crassness of paying for a place to live. You should probably live in a hovel the woods. One that you didn’t pay for.

I have to say that, in spite of surely well earned the reputation furries have for being nice people, that is one of the weirdest suggestions I’ve ever heard.

Substitute furries for any other sexual endeavor.

Look up BDSM groups around you. No, you don’t have to be a dom/sub to go to one.

Look up gender transition groups around you. No, you don’t have to be trans to go to one.

YES, YOU FUCKING DO!
