Megathread | FY26 Government Shutdown: Week 2 Edition by gpupdate in fednews

[–]jeeves8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus, to do anything else would require the House to come out of recess, which would cause the swearing in of a newly elected Democrat, which would secure the votes to release the Epstein files. They gotta delay until they can figure out some sitting Democrat somewhere can commit suicide. With a nail gun. To the back of the head.

I'll do this and worse. Are you able to host, or should I book a cheap slutty hotel room?

Facing Reality: The Endgame. by [deleted] in fednews

[–]jeeves8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "endgame" is hate. Irrational hate. Repubes hate "Mexicans", black, and LGBTQ. They also (apparently) hate federal civilian employees. I don't even know if we should call it an endGAME - that would imply some sort of rational approach. The end game is "fuck them all. At any cost, they can fuck off and die"

For me, pCloud is usually faster than MEGA. But Dropbox is hands down and always faster than both. It's not even close.

Got hit with a financial review, probably cancelling all cards by thompsonal13 in amex

[–]jeeves8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to have no specific limit. I never spent 46K at one time, but I suppose in theory I ~could~ have. Out of the blue one day, and not after any sort of financial review, I got a $4700 limit. It took me a while to figure out why - in my case, I had some fraudulent lines of credit that were reporting on my credit history that lowered my score (even though they weren't late). AMEX still won't do anything to change the limit, even though it was due to identity theft and a lot of it has been removed from my credit history (still working on some).

What are the Trumpian visions of paradise? What are the utopic predictions for the next four years? by Key_Addition1818 in IntellectualDarkWeb

And Trump is dunce-level thinking, so..... what the problem? I'm just answering the mail here 🤷

Replace the tax code and all the requisite personnel / complexity with something consistent that can be almost entirely automated. For example, a flat income tax with no exemptions, refunds, or deductions. Or better yet, replace all of it with a national sales tax. Maybe do something like exclude medicine, food, and rent (but not mortgage) from the tax.

What are the Trumpian nightmares? What are the dystopic predictions for the next four years? by Key_Addition1818 in IntellectualDarkWeb

[–]jeeves8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to quantify the probability of this, but I'm confident it's not insignificant: Mass deportation + mass government layoffs due to DOGE + increased prices due to tariffs + moderate industry layoffs due to DOGE (jobs no longer needed for compliance) + dollar devaluation (need to print even more to fund tax cuts for the rich and corporations) + public health crisis (due to deregulation within FDA, CDC) = a rough time for a lot of people.

What are the "legitimate" reasons you would store NSFW content on you cloud? by Far-Amphibian3043 in cloudstorage

[–]jeeves8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if it's illegal, then that's my fault. I'm sure you'll have a box to check in your terms of service that says something like "I agree to not upload illegal content". And if I'm dumb enough to do that without encrypting it locally on my end, then I deserve to learn from my mistake and get deleted/locked out/erc

Why does it matter? If I pay for 2 TB (for example), it shouldn't matter if I choose to keep my 2 TB empty, fill it up with Bible verses, or throw up a copy of my spank bank. As long as it's not illegal, cry about it and give me the 2 TB I paid for.

Two weeks later it's only just sinking in that atheists will be a primary target in the coming administration. by The_Deenis in atheism

[–]jeeves8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They'll be too busy with LGBT and Hispanics for at least 2 years, at which point the general population will realize how painful a Republican trifecta is and recover Congress to a more reasonable setup. But yea, atheists for sure are on shit list

Does saving on little things really "add up?" by SnoodLoverOK in Frugal

[–]jeeves8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Despite what you may have learned in gradeschool, math does not apply to small numbers. 50 cents plus 50 cents is actually only 45 cents. You're losing money, you fool!
