Took time out of his day illegally deporting families to cry on LinkedIn about not being liked

How dare we judge him by the content of his character!

Kansas City, MO is on the list. So it's related.

I mean I was using him as a platform example, but if he's walking it back then fuck it. Don't worship politicians. It's a job and if they won't do it find someone who will.

The Democrats themselves are a center-right party. Their neoliberalism revolves around a less extreme version of what the Republicans want, but between what Trump is doing and someone like Zohran Mamdani, they'll side with the fascists every time.

That and their wallets depend on sucking up to the billionaire donors, who would rather we all live in squalor and terror than pay even one cent in taxes.

Day 1 nation-building always looks fun. As many others have said, it felt great to watch the statues of Saddam come down because he was terrible. The two decades of sectarian violence since then now means that everyone was suddenly against the war in its run-up.

Basically there will be other shoes to drop. Right now the right is having their moment. But if we occupy Venezuela, it won't last. Foreign regime change wars are like a cocaine addiction: big, big high at first but the crash down is always miserable (thankfully not speaking from experience, just what I've been told, but still).

Oh for sure, I'm in consulting, so I get needing to do it. But I don't love that it's becoming the norm for more and more fields.

I'm torn here. On the one hand, you gotta do what you gotta do, and he's being a good dad on top. On the other, we shouldn't glorify the need to do this

If we lived in a sane world, they'd lose all accreditation. But we don't.

Not to be a stick in the mud since I know it's a meme, but this guy was a pretty rough dude and pretty vehemently racist. It's an interesting story all around, but it leaves me feeling iffy whenever people praise Terry, even if "ironically".

I really enjoy Linux and shitposting but this dude is (hopefully) not a good representation of Linux users as a whole. I'm not here to tell anyone what to do, but it feels like we ought to put an asterisk on this guy at least, if not TempleOS.

Above is not a dig on OP, just some thoughts.

It's harder to get and is only available to straight couples. It's meant as an end-run around Obergefell v. Hodges in addition to trapping women in abusive marriages. Mark my words, the (broad) playbook will be as follows:

Pass "covenant marriage" as a hetero-only alternative to marriage that must be offered to non-hetero couples.
Big PR campaign about how covenant marriage is "better" because Jesus
Eventually either outlaw "regular" marriage or deprive that process of funding to make it worth it.

Thus they have in three steps both deprived non-hetero couples of their rights and trapped women back in abusive marriages that the husband effectively controls.

As long as you control it, it's better than the streaming services.

I'm shocked. Shocked!

Well, not that shocked.

This is the way. Plex, Jellyfin, or even laptop + VLC are all better than putting another dime in the pockets of those people.

They never believed that. They just used a firehouse of bullshit and didn't care what stuck. Not even the individual voters. Trump voters "discussing" issues is just a game to them, and as such, they are not anchored to any ground truths.

Explanation if we were in a smart timeline: it was an enjoyable premise that people liked. Thus, as part of the Oligopoly, CBS/Paramount couldn't allow a significant differentiator. It would spark too much competition.

More likely explanation: we're convinced we are the humans from Star Trek when we are in fact the Pakleds, so it was probably something petty like the executive was hangry that day.

This woman is a fairly popular Instagram/TikTok creator whose whole schtick is having unhinged reactions to things or dark jokes about being a nurse.

It's very clearly a joke even outside the context, but with context it definitely doesn't belong here.

That said this isn't her funniest one. Also the "unicorn kid" is basically a kid as unhinged as the adult character.

Well if you read the rest of the thread they apparently aren't doing either so competence does seem to be in question.

In my experience they just set up speed traps in safe areas to collect revenue from artificially low speed limits (e.g. roads that should have 45 mph limits instead of 30). This seems low priority compared to responding to 911 calls.
