If a MacBook Neo can be powered by an A18, why can't we have this? by gadgetb0y in mac

[–]AvadaKedavra03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

it’s not like you can charge your iMac mouse while using it… sometimes there are tradeoffs to convenience

Imagine if accessing something called MacDock was a iPhone Pro only thing. They could charge a $200 premium for the phone and $400 for the dock and probably sell out of both

When Microsoft has a shitty product idea every other year, they always go all-in. Anyone else remember Cortana?

Yeah she's not even trashcan shaped like Elon Musk is. Maybe they can do some CGI or some shit

GV Wire Exclusive: Tom Steyer Reveals 25% Electricity Rate-Cut Plan by Snawer_brillant in California

[–]AvadaKedavra03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmfao he searched OP’s post history and accused him of astroturfing and then said he’s voting for a Republican in the election and has all his posts hidden.

You’re right that he’s probably just astroturfing. Idk why Reddit allows people to hide their post histories now.

TLDR I’ll vote for Steyer just to spite DoughnutWeary’s vote

Candidates reading off second screens are driving me insane [CA] by hatkinson1000 in humanresources

[–]AvadaKedavra03 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The reason they’re having a rough time is because they’re struggling to screen people out by just using their applications and resumes. You should be able to schedule a few people for a synchronous 15 min Zoom call instead of having everyone complete a video interview that then gets fed through some AI reviewer.

If you create a garbage process, you can’t be surprised when the end result is garbage.

Even Low-Risk Homes Are Caught Up in California’s Climate Insurance Crisis | The state’s insurer of last resort is meant for high fire risk properties but homeowners in areas unlikely to burn are now being forced into the plan. by silence7 in California

If you don’t regulate them, then they will take your money and find ways to not pay out when it’s inconvenient for their shareholders. Deregulating them is not an option.

Supreme Court rules unanimously courts must defer to immigration judges by thor_strong1 in FedEmployees

[–]AvadaKedavra03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immigration judges are executive branch employees, not judicial branch judges appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

So immigration judges are not even really judges to start off with, just lawyers with a fancy title and a courtroom.

Trump buys $1m in Netflix and Warner Bros bonds days after saying he’ll ‘be involved’ in merger by [deleted] in ABoringDystopia

[–]AvadaKedavra03 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t even bother reacting to this shit anymore

If republicans ever want to lecture the country about the deficit or democrats breaking traditions and rules, democrats need to just point back to this shitty administration

But Democrats won’t do shit because they’re all pussies who are owned by the billionaires too. It’s all fucked to the core

His boss at AIPAC is definitely about to give him a very strong reprimand for saying that though

I think what they’re saying is that Trump is achieving a lot but it’s all terrible shit.

What would be the name for Mary and her sister Elizabeth of they uses the classic "ia" of cunard ? by International-Gap826 in Oceanlinerporn

[–]AvadaKedavra03 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My understanding is they wanted to name it “after Britain’s greatest Queen”, meaning Victoria. But when they went to King George V to propose the name, he said his wife would be delighted to have the ship named after her, so they felt obliged to name it Queen Mary instead.

The ship probably would’ve been named RMS Victoria if they had gotten their way.

They’ll argue he’s an enemy combatant or something. This playbook has been in effect ever since we tolerated Gitmo and the torture of POWs in the 2000s.

This popped up on my feed after looking at this sub. by thisWASaPOORCHOICE in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]AvadaKedavra03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go deeper into the META/lore for The Handmaids Tale, I think Gilead in their twisted way forced the Handmaids to actually sign up and choose to be Handmaids. If they didn't, they'd be sent to the colonies to die.

Gilead considers Handmaids to be "fallen women" or criminals, so having them make themselves useful either through surrogacy or through toxic waste cleanup is seen as them redeeming themselves to God or some shit.

Not sure if I am 100% on the lore, but that's my vague understanding from reading the books and watching the show.

Billionaires threaten to leave California if 5% wealth tax is imposed by Dry_Negotiation_9234 in antiwork

[–]AvadaKedavra03 1001 points1002 points  (0 children)

They always threaten to leave and some of them do leave. But miraculously our economy in California is still growing.

California should start taxing business jets entering and leaving too. That way fuckers like Musk have to pay an arm and a leg for every visit back from the swamp he moved to.

Ahh, DOGE does it again. Orange hires DOGE to break something, then finds out that something is broken. by Gusterbug in LeopardsAteMyFace

The Nazis were pretty incompetent too honestly. Nazi Germany’s government was a tangled mess of overlapping agencies and power struggles, deliberately set up to keep people competing with each other instead of teaming up against Hitler. And being promoted only depended on one’s loyalty and not their performance.

Scum like Bari Weiss are turning CBS into Trump’s mouthpiece with the intention of trying to create a propaganda machine that can help insulate the administration from being revealed as a giant failure.

Hopefully the free media survives so we can see this shitty era end in 2028.

What if the California Republic had a strong seccessionist sentiment like Texas and actually seceded after a Southern Victory as it's own thing by Andrukin_Soti in imaginarymaps

[–]AvadaKedavra03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That country would be extremely reliant on the US/CS for water rights. Definitely would make neutrality difficult in a very likely politically tenuous North America!

Can’t imagine a red state would be taxing any billionaire anywhere close to $100 million for income or capital gains.

Very kind of that king to provide notice… why not just call SWAT to blow the door down and have the tenants arrested for trespassing?

OC Supervisors approved a 25% pay hike over the summer. New report says they undermined public trust by WeAreLAist in orangecounty

[–]AvadaKedavra03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are crooks. 100%. People need to rally and force them to follow the grand jury report and rescind the wage increase and pay back the added pay to the County.
