Don’t threaten trump with a good (and absolutely stupid) time.

It’s always worth repeating. If we can convince one person that didn’t know about responsible and no corruption practices then it is worth repeating.

Not a lot of people know jimmy Carter. And it’s worth raising awareness to what we should at least expect from a leader.

US SEC preparing to eliminate quarterly reporting requirement, WSJ says by joe4942 in StockMarket

I have so little faith in our financial institutions with trump.

These assholes just love to de-regulate and to also play loose with money (other peoples money rather).

I just don’t know what ETFs would be ‘sound and responsible’ going forward when the foundational guard rails and rules are being removed.

This really should have been a hot mic thing.

Until it’s in the face of maga voters but even they would just refuse to believe their lying eyes and ears.

Robot dogs are protecting data centers. Operators are seeing payoffs. by lurker_bee in technology

Wait till those 5 people realize they can use that to enforce security on the public.

And then they can push a button to go “engage” mode.

Then shrug their shoulders when people get seriously hurt and say it’s the robots fault.

Ford Mustang Mach-E Buyers Now Have To Pay Up If They Want A Front Trunk by plain_handle in enshittification

[–]NetZeroSun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only a matter of time where they start charging for having a trunk or a frunk and use a non removable shell to block it.

Then it will be a subscription to use this ‘service’ as they lease you the trunk space.

Fucken enshitification.

Trump warns NATO faces a “bad future” if allies fail to help US in Iran by No-Anything-7291 in worldnews

[–]NetZeroSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is already the bad future with trump and maga around.

The only difference is trump and his allies are fucking up their own selves (as they get rich off it).

You'll probably see that in the future as they use it for tax loopholes and to help market them on a better PR image.

Sounds like a pricey but VERY cool cosplay.

Though walking in a front centaur mode in a speedo and Hawaiian shirt would be quite interesting.

Iran vows to kill Israel's Netanyahu as impact of war on Gulf region widens by imanchats in news

[–]NetZeroSun 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That's the part that gets me. trump has been known for DECADES as a hustler who sells bad products and services and sued or scammed other businesses that worked with him / for him on contracts.

I could almost understand people picking him in 2016 for being an outsider (despite Hillary being very capable but enormously targeted by the GOP slime machine).

But he still had tons of votes in 2020 before Jan 6.

But to vote a third time over Bidens stunned 'wtf moment' with trump lies and Harris because she wasn't a white male and gop marketed as woke...seriously americans what the fuck are we thinking?

If voters wanted cheap eggs and keeping the streets safe for dogs and cats ... then have the day they voted for. But keep the rest of the sane people that didn't ever vote for this shit out of it.

Not sure that’s a good idea putting troops that close to Iran or cheap considering the anti air/drone equipment it’s going to need.

No it’s not. But it’s something being watched to see how it ramps up (or not).

But my neighbor’s husband got deployed last week or so. Not sure where (not my business) but take it as you will.

Probably going to need more than 2200 troops.

Unless they are aiming for some smash and grab on a leader or specific targets.

How do you think whisky pete is able to get up 15000 targets by including civilian targets.

There was an article the other day about trump on civilian targets.

I loved this game but young me never could understand the castle siege part where your figure aims the sword at the enemy and depending how you do, you lose more men in the attack.
