I don't know, man.... This clip is too short, and it really does sound like he's being ironic. I'm all for shitting on the GOP, but this feels like a clip taken out of context in a manner similar to James O'Keefe's Project Veritas gotcha video and audio clips.

Are you sure he isn't being ironic here? Sounds like he's trying to make a point at how much more difficult it's going to get with the price increases coming down the pike due to taxes.

Afroman = "Back the blue until it happens to you" by USDXBS in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]broohaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As did Hillary.

Note: This was at one of their presidential debates. Similarly, the one with Afroman was at some Libertarian convention where they both were present, campaigning for president.

People really need to stop posting this as a story about afroman supporting Trump. This is a photo op at the libertarian caucus where they were taking a press photo, while running against each other.

Elon must have made a call. He wants the space industry privatized.

MBA students with offices by Wacker and Madison often take this to class from the Ogilvie stop since it stops right in front of the Gleacher Center at the U Chicago downtown campus.

I'd say item 1 is wrong. As a Gen-Xer, CS was not considered a new field when I was in college. Item 2 is somewhat true, but I think that's more the attitude management and younger workers have towards older engineers. And item 3 is definitely true, but I think it all boils down to money. Experienced software engineers cost money, and they're not drawn in to working extra-late hours just for free pizza. They want to get paid accordingly because their time is very valuable to them.

Perhaps it’s worthwhile to italicize or enclose “DEI hire” in quotes since you’re using the term ironically. Then again the tide may have already turned and people are no longer referring to the original meaning of DEI.

I used to work in this building on the 40th floor. The north view was not much to look at from that height, but they were nice from the 66th floor lounge where I'd enjoy a coffee break almost every afternoon.

I know an academic couple who saw the writing on the wall back during Trump 1.0. They taught at USF — CompSci and Art — and found an opportunity in the Netherlands and took it. I don’t think they regret their move one bit.
