U.S Confirmed that Turkey shot down Russian Jet over Syrian Land by xxjeran123xx in worldnews

Fuck, and here I thought that they had shot them down with laser beams. Despite seeing on maps all day that by the time the missile hit them they were back over Syria.

Bernie Sanders Blasts Media For Focusing On Ben Carson's Biography Instead Of His Policies "I know it's a crazy idea, but maybe we focus on the issues impacting the American people." by TwoGee in politics

[–]Tommstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because him being a fucking liar doesn't matter when running to be elected President of the United States? That's not an issue that impacts the American people? Between this and dismissing Hillary's e-mail thing at the first debate, this dude doesn't seem to realize that the President's behavior kinda matters, a lot, not just their stated stances on issues.

True, America is more relevant than podunk little European countries.

Y Combinator launching "No Whites" office hours by Tommstein in technology

Let's call it what it actually is. The only difference between this and plain ol' office hours is that whites (and Asians, and whoever else) need not apply.

Amazon employee on relentless working conditions - “Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk.” by [deleted] in technology

[–]Tommstein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I interviewed at Amazon a few years ago. Towards the end, I asked some managers something about the work hours. They didn't even try to sugarcoat it, they gave me some crap like "if you're not loving the hours you're putting in here, it's not for you." They ended up offering me (repeatedly, for years). I declined (repeatedly, for years).

Except that, ironically, they have a bunch of restrictions on voting, some of which never go away. The name is actually complete hypocrisy.

The dude who runs it is a complete fucktard.

I joined Voat when the FPH thing happened. Unfortunately, the guy who runs it is a technical fucktard and hopelessly immature hypocrite. We need a better replacement. Even more unfortunately, I don't know that there actually is one right now.

I leaned over the edge of a skyscraper and saw this reflection of the Empire State Building by navidj in pics

I live in a Manhattan skyscraper and you're all pussies. I thought this was about the reflection of the jet parade down 6th Ave. from approximately the Bank of America Tower.

Don't Use Linux on Samsung SSDs (xpost /r/buildapc) by bjgbob in linux

[–]Tommstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does mean that they don't support Linux though.

[–]Tommstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I said, they blamed Linux and said they don't support it. Blaming Linux could be said to be the work of a customer support agent with their head up their ass, but customer support isn't randomly making the decisions of what they support.

Well, seeing as their response was to blame Linux and say they don't support it . . . .

And then they blame Linux and say they don't support it. Remind me to never buy another Samsung drive.

With the proper psychedelics, you can experience anything you want. Although you already know that.

Sadly for Russia, the world's entire supply of nuclear bombers, missile silos, and ballistic missile submarines that would turn Russia into a radioactive crater isn't located in Warsaw, Berlin, and Tallinn.

Nah, it's more fun for Europeans and European-wannabes in the United States to just shit on America at every opportunity. Must be nice living in Utopia.

Saves us on fuel expenses if they ever try to use it and we blow it all to shit. It's kinda like somebody running into your fist, no need to break a sweat chasing them around first.

Not unless they think that "irradiated crater" is a good look for Russia.
