I came to quote the same line while saying that I knew at that moment which side I was on. The man is almost never on the right side of issues. I’ve only seen it once, though I can’t recall the issue, and I was shocked at the time.

Add this to the list of products I won’t buy. Not that I would have before, but now it’s a rule rather than a preference.

Just be sure to screen her for hidden beer bottles when she boards.

/I’m (partially) of Irish decent with a reddish beard; I’m allowed to make this joke.

Airbnb undermined team that removed extremist users, whistleblower claims | CNN Business ( edition.cnn.com )

Jess Hernandez worked full-time as an investigations analyst for Airbnb’s dangerous organizations team from May 2022 to November 2023, researching extremist networks as part of the company’s work to keep dangerous individuals off the platform. But she says she was terminated in November 2023, shortly after her team was...

I questioned whether I’d misread that bit of the article, so thanks for clarifying with a quote. Same as people who lost their jobs for joining in at J6. Your politics fueled violence. I have no sympathy. I say that as someone who will be on a list if fascists truly come to power in the USA. Mine will be for thought crimes. These are for real crimes. I’m sure there are minor nuances where I’d be willing to concede something went too far as almost all enforcement runs into grey areas from time to time, but this is far from persecuting people for the way they voted.

What are you talking about? Some politician grimaced as he took a sip of water and another one put it to his lips without actually taking a sip. Everything is fine!

led by Biden to take away their labor rights.

Yet if I criticize him, I'm accused of refusing to vote against Trump and told that I'm the problem.

some_guy ,

This is a pretty funny response. It made me smile. Genuine thanks.

some_guy ,

I only skimmed the opening but it didn't appear to suggest that anyone underage / non-consensual was paid. I have no problem with selling / buying sex between consenting adults. He's a scumbag and I want him gone, but consensual sex for money shouldn't be illegal. If they're underage, that's a different story.

some_guy ,

A fair point, but not one that will win any arguments or concessions from his supporters. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

some_guy ,

So, Grinfucked, by Devildriver, is one of the songs that'll play for me. Ok.

some_guy ,

He already quit and came back after two years. My bet is he makes another comeback. Fuck this guy and his enablers.

“That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have a more honest election.”

Fixed it: “That may not be necessary,” Stone continued. “There are technical, legal steps we have to take to try to have the appearance of a more honest election.”

Stone noted during the conversation that the Trump campaign is attempting to change state voting laws and plans to immediately file a number of lawsuits seeking to change the results should the former president lose again, as Trump allies did in Michigan and several other states in 2020.

This is looking grim. We might have to actually fight on this one. Sigh…

No, you see, the thing is, Lonnie brought $55B worth of value to Tesla. It’s earned. If you can’t see that, that must be why you’re not a billionaire.

I simply refuse to believe that a person responsible for genocide would also stoop so low as to be dishonest.

/you don’t need me to indicate my real intentions here

Truly living off the land.

I keep checking about once per week. I saw this earlier today and felt pretty great about it. I feel bad for the rubes who lost their savings, but I can’t be responsible for their inability to spot a con.

some_guy ,

Remember when someone slowed a video of Pelosi to make her look drunk? It’s gonna be like that but with about a thousand times more videos. It’s funny how one side is responsible for tons of proven falsities (auto dial voter fraud, cropped videos, manufactured / out-of-context material). They absolutely believe that the ends justify the means.

Dems are also lying scum, but in that political promises way that we accept as endemic to politics. GOP straight up distorts reality to pretend things that didn’t happen are true. Not really the same.

some_guy ,

A small handful. Especially those who post content a lot. But not a lot.

However, when reading comments, I only check usernames when I either strongly agree or disagree. Only outliers are identified; idle chat is visually anonymized by my having a very limited field of view.

some_guy ,

I would be just as open to the idea that Trump doesn't pay attention to any detail about a person interviewing him if he isn't interested in them for some reason (say, an attractive female). But we can go all the way back to Tim Apple to show that he's not playing with a full set / deck; we don't need this guy to confirm that. Not that it'll matter to his base.

some_guy ,

Oh, Margie… I can't even defend you anymore. Your hateful, bigoted approach to politics was fun for a while. The howling and braying like a howler monkey or a donkey… it was entertaining. In a pathetic, white trash sorta way. Harassing high school kids who survived a school shooting made you a seeker of truth, if not just attention. Even when you couldn't read and mispronounced the word Cabal as Cable. And that one was in a documentary on HBO, you fucking dumbass. It was all fun and games. But now you've sold out to the RINOs because you've come to understand that you don't really matter. And that makes me sad, Margie. I was cheering for you and your clownish, boorish antics. I was right there with you! Except when I wasn't, which was always. Go home and fade into history, you shameless piece of shit. If I ever find out where you live, I'll shit on your front lawn. That last line was a joke. I don't advertise breaking laws.

some_guy ,

No, it's obvious sarcasm as evidenced by how I ended the thing. But the internet makes obvious things non-obvious.

some_guy ,

We are a barbaric nation. Not all of us. But enough to swing policy over and over and over.

some_guy ,

I'm sorry, do you think it's a good thing that we funnel huge amounts of money into the bank accounts of the people at the top of huge corporations making devices for destruction? I don't.

some_guy ,

Maybe my ratings will go up if we all inject bleach.

some_guy ,

That’s why I went backwards from SE back to IT. I enjoy working with people directly and helping them. It’s also a hell of a lot easier in terms of hours and crunches (we have no crunches).

Basically, I had to decide whether I wanted the money and “glamour” of working on a well-known hot project or to be generally happy with my life. I’m a lot happier now.

some_guy ,

I got into a heated argument (preschool) about whether the car jumped or flew. My dumbass neighbors (my age and younger) contended that it flew. Their mother backed them up. I bet they turned out really fucked up with a parent who was willing to lie to them and distort reality rather than hit them with a dose of reality. I was super mad about it. And now look at me: I’m an atheist who believes in Leftwing politics, so I’d say that on the spectrum from reality to fucked, I turned out pretty ok. Hate to think how they must see the world today.

some_guy ,

Rush bragged about how Bush senior carried his bags when he stayed at the White House. He had tremendous political power whether he could command troops (like the PotUS / congress) or not.

some_guy ,

Same. How many teens currently vape? Wait, did they not know these substances are harmful?

North Carolina Supreme Court Secretly Squashed Discipline of Two GOP Judges Who Admitted to Violating Judicial Code ( www.propublica.org )

Last fall, out of public view, the North Carolina Supreme Court squashed disciplinary action against two Republican judges who had admitted that they had violated the state’s judicial code of conduct, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the decisions....

some_guy ,

Disgusting behavior by GOP is no longer surprising and that, in and of itself, is deeply troubling.

some_guy ,

I’ll believe it when it happens. And if it does, I won’t expect it to stand if the admin flips in November.

some_guy ,

Love that kissy face.

some_guy ,

Tell me again about brainwashing with a straight face.

It’s not complicated.

some_guy ,

I don’t wanna gag. I wanna straight up choke. Give it to me hard.

some_guy ,

Gosh, it's almost as though most people aren't hateful bigots. Hateful bigots should take note, but they won't. In fact, if they do it'll only be to point out how they're being persecuted. I dislike hateful bigots.

some_guy ,

I prefer knowing that my relationships are genuine and no one is sucking up or trying to get anything from me.

some_guy ,

What truly sucks about misaligned incentives in any environment is the impediment to science overall when people chase bad results trying to replicate false results.

some_guy ,

I had a similar experience when paying out of pocket when a former employer offered really shitty healthcare. Turned an outrageous price into something minuscule just by them entering in some info on my behalf.

You might also be able to replace the firmware with something like DD-WRT or OpenWRT or Tomato or other third-party firmware.

some_guy ,

It’s pretty cool how you don’t need training or study to be an expert these days. /s

some_guy ,

Who would be able to tell the difference? Just set conditions that it ramble and it’ll be impossible to distinguish from the real thing.

some_guy ,

I remember this. Fuck that guy. Make an example of him. I know the family said they don’t want to ruin his life. Let the prosecutor do it. Bigots have no space in a civilized society.

some_guy ,

Don’t talk about that. We don’t want to acknowledge reality. To hell with LGBTQ monsters! All people who aren’t like me are bad!!!

some_guy ,

Cry me a river, shitheads.

some_guy ,

Not just that. They do the beheadings using the force. The babies’ heads are ripped right off. It’s pretty bad.

some_guy ,

By resigning, there’s nothing on his record to prevent getting a job in another department. Hooray! The system works. /s
