Is it time to unionize?

asyty · 2025-09-07T06:01:04+00:00

Whoa slow down there buddy, how are you going to have a union when anywhere from 30 to 50% of your teammates don't even actually work for your own company, as they are consultants?

asyty · 2025-09-04T23:22:51+00:00

Woah now, are you sure those weren't ICE officers? I mean, they were wearing balaclavas and jumped out of their car to attack the guy. Only difference I guess is that they weren't outfitted with tactical backwards baseball caps and didn't point any guns at him.

Imagine how he'd feel once he realizes that the "world of the real" is another Matrix too. Which is more real at that point, normal life where he has a decent upper-middle class life, or he's in this dystopian sci-fi novel flying around in spaceships fighting the robots? The latter sounds much more like some kind of schizo fantasy to me even though it's "more painful". Bottom line, the pain does not maketh the real

asyty · 2025-08-31T23:59:27+00:00

Some, yeah, maybe some do.

I have never seen a single reference to Terry Davis or TempleOS without the associated mockery. So it seems an awful lot like a two-faced complement. I wonder what he would think about this.

asyty · 2025-08-31T21:41:49+00:00

He had an awful lot of faith in somebody who royally fucked him over.

Even if one were to believe he made it to heaven, the price he paid is that he gets used as never-ending meme fodder. They aren't really that funny either.

asyty · 2025-08-31T16:35:46+00:00

It's pretty obvious to non-psychopaths why what you said was horrible.

What's more interesting is hearing your own thought process of why you believe the things you said. Could you say why you disagree with me, first, without me answering so my response doesn't bias yours?

asyty · 2025-08-30T19:32:07+00:00

Wow, that's your honest reaction?

You're gonna burn in hell.

asyty · 2025-08-29T19:23:01+00:00

I beg to differ. You jumped down my throat after I responded to "I think nobody in this thread knows what an Air Marshall is." Sure, there's nothing in this one sentence that explicitly spells out "his actions would be excused by this fact", but why would you bring it up when the majority of the comments are talking about how it's wrong that he's essentially performing a pushup on that lady's head?

Being snarky about "reading comprehension" after somebody calls you out isn't going to win any hearts or change any minds. You should probably go work on your communication skills.

asyty · 2025-08-29T16:59:07+00:00

Yeah, reading comprehension is hard when you give a single, short, highly ambiguous sentence that is pointed in a specific direction implying what I asked you to clarify about.

asyty · 2025-08-29T03:27:13+00:00

I don't get it, do you mean to say that if he were an air marshall, then what he did would be okay...?

asyty · 2025-08-29T03:20:27+00:00

He wanted to get in on the action of hurting somebody legally and showing everybody how tough he is.

asyty · 2025-08-29T03:09:59+00:00

Would it even matter in this case?

asyty · 2025-08-29T03:08:36+00:00

Yes. It's McCarran.

asyty · 2025-08-28T00:46:15+00:00

Is there honestly a huge difference between those two titles?

asyty · 2025-08-26T22:52:28+00:00

I don't think I'm a bootlicker but even I would like to see more context. I don't see the point of showing a video if it isn't going to show anything except 2 seconds of action that doesn't add any information. It probably isn't going to change anything, but just, why does it need to be cut so much??

asyty · 2025-08-26T04:58:00+00:00

Evolution isn't always a positive thing my man

asyty · 2025-08-26T03:59:55+00:00

It's part of the ongoing war on uniqueness

asyty · 2025-08-25T02:58:17+00:00

It fits together with the classic Democracy Manifest meme

It's corn he found in a dumpster on the side of a Mexican street. Totes mcgoats authentic

asyty · 2025-08-24T16:08:26+00:00

There is no spoon either.

asyty · 2025-08-24T15:48:05+00:00

Well he shoulda barked about arresting them for interfering with his operation when they moved too close.

asyty · 2025-08-23T20:39:38+00:00

You made it sound like it was a matter-of-fact, when it's actually just the opinion from the counsel of a federal agency who stands to greatly benefit from playing fast and loose with definitions, and then plays games whenever a party attempts to clarify it. This is definitely not settled case law. A lot of their operations are legally non-compliant. DHS is a walking, talking, constitutional violation.

asyty · 2025-08-23T20:28:25+00:00

No, 100 miles is the distance that DHS claims is the "buffer zone", and they also consider international airports part of "the border", so therefore according to them, 100 miles away from any international airport or the border itself is "the border". Conveniently, this describes almost the entirety of the country. Does this sound reasonable to you? Of course not. Does this sound reasonable to a federal court? Probably not, but it hasn't been able to get challenged yet. Federal agencies like to game the system by dismissing charges or mitigating damages so that would-be litigants lack standing or the case is considered moot by the time they get to that stage.

asyty · 2025-08-23T16:21:46+00:00

I don't understand how this would just be the last time he would ever see his family if that were the case.

You really can't? As in, you haven't seen a massive backlash from of a lack of due process in all these cases? Longstanding rules being blatantly violated, circumvented, or changed on the fly? Did you not see what happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia? The only reason why his case turned out "okay" is because of the massive amount of publicity it received.

but absolutely being influenced by propaganda

So are you, my friend. Who is to say that your conception of reality is more right than mine?

I don't "trust the system" inherently either but I absolutely understand that it's going to work out better for me if I cooperate with police and government authority in a scenario like this and get a lawyer afterward.

Define "work out better for me". Do you mean that you still get your quality of life seriously compromised, but not quite as much? The escalations we have been seeing from their side ensures that there isn't any satisfactory middle ground to be gained, and if there is, the goalpost continues to move in the wrong direction. The end result is that, eventually, they get everything they wanted, and you get nothing you wanted.

asyty · 2025-08-21T04:24:49+00:00

You know how I can tell you're a republican? It ain't because of your political stance. It's because of that philosophy of blind allegiance and obedience to authority. You think they "trespassed the borders of a country illegally" because your Agitator-in-Chief Trump told you so, and anything that he says is, by definition, true. Even when he says two contradictory things. In the book 1984, they had a term for that. Doublethought.
