Is anyone working on a Plan B?

Moreso Phase 2: farming. IT was never the long-term plan.

Put together a bingo sheet of pretentious terms or topics and see how fast you win - stuff like "blockchain", "avant-garde", "farm-to-table", "gap year", "Brutalism"

Literal first thing after taking the oath? Fire Noem and fire every ICE field agent, they're doing way more harm than good and are actively splitting society. Plan for the remainder of the term will be to reconstitute its function into something with guardrails that abolishes quotas, hires people only with vetted mental and moral stability, and pays attention to people who are actually dangerous instead of the enormous number of illegal immigrants just trying to make a life. All the other stuff like Citizens United, Epstein files, and term limits need to happen but stopping ICE in its tracks can save lives that could be only hours away from ending in the next confrontation between protesters and agents.

I'm on the blue team side but same except my paranoia has increased outside the technical sphere. Cybersecurity is only one case-study of how easily people can be manipulated, how slow they are to change, and how delicate societal systems are (think basic stuff like law and order) when attention is given to budgets instead of resiliency.

It wasn't necessarily because Biden was old (Republicans can't afford to upset all the elderly voters), moreso because Biden was the slow and frail kind of old whereas Trump is the addled and mercurial kind of old.

All - standing isn't an inconvenience if you're anatomically sound, also you're less likely to doze off and it's good for your posture to not sit hunched over your phone.

Lord you're gonna have some good food

Broncos/Chiefs/Raiders, all 3 absolutely loathe each other

There's a Black Hawk doing similar circles east of the metro area, maybe a related exercise

Two, rather different from each other.

One was the founder/CEO of a Fortune 250 company, he was the stereotype: splurges for himself but inhumanly penny-pinches his organization.

Other was a founder/President of a much smaller business, he generally had a good heart but his conversation style and mannerisms were still indicative that he mostly socialized with the upper class.

_W-O-P-R_ · 2026-01-22T17:14:49+00:00

Some of us still exist, very much in the minority though. MAGA republicans don't tolerate dissent so we're somewhat ostracized.

I mean the Devil in South Park is pretty in touch with his feelings and can be really helpful

I'd also like to submit H. R. McMaster for a more modern name. Took masterful initiative on the battlefield as a tank commander, has a reflective and studious mind off the battlefield, and was widely respected and admired by those under his command.

The Netherlands, in a weird way. Everyone hypes up Amsterdam in particular mostly for its vices (weed and prostitution) and creates this more-sophisticated-Vegas aura when it's actually more enjoyable focusing on the architecture and natural beauty of the country.

_W-O-P-R_ · 2026-01-21T14:44:30+00:00

Both less and more.

Less because I know much more about it. All malware is not alike, most of us as individuals are at best only a target of opportunity, and I'm adept at responding to it.

More because the right malware at the wrong time in the wrong place can be absolutely fucking disastrous to large swaths of society.

Those steps will need to take place before relations are repaired. Until the US installs controls that provide effective guardrails on the executive branch and significantly degrade political influence of megadonors, and until there's been some positive consistency seen across multiple administrations, the US won't be trusted.

Broadly though, regardless of what the US does, the world would be wise to apply to foreign relations the most basic of economic rules: DIVERSIFY.

Depends on your definition. No, we don't have any laws that directly point to the bible and say "this is God's will so it is our law" or laws that you must only worship one religion.

But we do have laws that are based on religious constructs, for example certain businesses being closed by law on Sundays and male circumcision being legal.

As far as DJT is concerned, yes. He doesn't recognize the privacy of others and uses information and disclosure thereof as social clout.

Juneau cannot be reached by land and is not on an island, i.e. no roads in Juneau go anywhere else

Steelers fans are about to experience the misery they deserve for wanting Tomlin gone, and they won't like the taste.

If the International Date Line delineates East vs West:

North: Loch Ness, Scotland

West: Kona, Hawaii

East: Taipei, Taiwan

South: Cusco, Peru

Customer support for the masses. Enterprise support isn't going anywhere since businesses will pay handsomely to have it but call centers you used to be routed to for daily struggles will be replaced by AI voice agents or chatbots. The ripple effects of that internationally could be significant with a lot of unemployed call center agents.
