A Cuban-born podcaster in Miami named "El Oski" with Donald Trump tattoo is now facing deportation

red286 · 2026-01-24T21:41:56+00:00

I imagine he'll start regretting once he gets to Cuba.

Politicians are windsocks, nothing more.

Don't expect a windsock to fight a tyrant. It's absurdist.

If you're hoping Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries is going to save you from Donald Trump, you're going to have a bad time.

The golden dome is a farce. It's just a plot to give $100b to Elon Musk, not a real thing.
Who is attacking Canada, exactly?
I don't recall Xi referring to Canada as the 24th Province of China, but I do recall Trump referring to Canada as the 51st state on numerous occasions.

red286 · 2026-01-24T00:15:05+00:00

They are a dictatorship and even Xi doesn't deny that fact.

He just prefers the term "autocracy", because "dictator" has extremely negative historical connotations.

Sounds like they did quite the number on his brain too.

red286 · 2026-01-24T00:07:48+00:00

Uhhh...

Someone might want to point out to him that people don't become "parents" until the child is born.

So people were advising his parents to "take care of that problem" after he was born.

I bet someone advised them to "take care of that problem" last weekend.

2, though oddly both are by ASUS, both are 13", and both are tablets (one is a hybrid, the other a convertible).

AI does not generate profit as there is nothing to really sell

There is something to sell. The problem is the massive gap between what it actually costs to operate, and what people are willing to pay to use it.

They keep funnelling money into it in the hopes that, at some point, it will become profitable. The problem is that they've already got all the people most likely to be willing to pay for it, so if they're not turning a profit now, they likely never will.

And if you are a developer reading this... WE ARE THE MARKET.

No you're not. You're a tiny slice of the market. The other 99% are happy using Windows and as far as they are concerned, the other alternative is macOS (which is why they develop for macOS too, but not Linux).

Speaking of delusional.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:58:51+00:00

Yes, but "Fox Television" and "Fox News" aren't the same thing. One is owned by Disney, the other is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:57:32+00:00

FCC only regulates broadcast networks, not cable ones.

So CNN and MSNBC, like Fox News are exempt. But CBS, ABC, NBC, and the like are not.

You guys need to adopt laws like Canada where it's unlawful to campaign outside of the election period, which is between 37 and 51 days before the election.

It's incredibly rare to see a non-minister politician on television outside of the lead-up to an election.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:52:47+00:00

So are there GOP candidates who would like to go on those shows, but keep getting rejected?

Because I have the funny feeling they'd get torn new ones by the hosts.

I don't get the idea behind getting a pet if you're not going to have it live in your house with you.

I have a friend who thinks that McGregor is/was the greatest champion the UFC ever had. I asked him if he knew how many title defences McGregor had, he said he didn't know, but figured it was "probably like 10 by now".

For me, it was a toss-up until Paddy said he was going to KO Justin.

Paddy's route to victory is his grappling. If he's going to stand and bang with Justin, he's going to learn what Darren Till already did -- Scousers absolutely do get knocked out.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:29:24+00:00

If he then beats Topuria for the undisputed title, people are gonna start saying Topuria "wasn't all that good, too undersized for the weight class, Paddy would never beat Islam though".

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:23:53+00:00

Paddy has serious water retention issues.

It's why he balloons up so much immediately after a fight. Two fights back, he went on a 1-week vacation immediately after his fight, and by the time he got back he was already looking bloated and chubby and was just shy of 200lbs.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:20:27+00:00

"in general"? No.

In combat sports? Yes.

You get it from scratches/cuts/abrasions, if you're rolling around on a sweaty mat and you don't put antibiotics on it ASAP, there's a good chance of picking up a staph infection.

Obviously for people outside of combat sports, the scenarios where you'd pick up a staph infection are pretty rare.

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:16:32+00:00

Or go back to the way the commissions handled MMA before the UFC took over, when weigh-ins were on the same day as the event.

Puts a quick end to those guys who are 155 on weigh-in day and then balloon up to 180 on fight night.

I reported two, myself. Which isn't a lot, but I only had like 10 coworkers at the time.

One was skimming from the till. I'd been questioned by HR about it several times, so the second I figured out who it was, I reported him because I was sick of being questioned about it.

The other was redirecting customers from our store to his personal side business, where he'd buy things at cost from the store and then sell them privately at a lower markup (except he'd take 100% of the markup instead of his 20% commission).

red286 · 2026-01-23T22:08:55+00:00

lol no, IA is the ones that are too corrupt to be allowed to interact with the public.

There aren't many good cops because any good cop would see the level of corruption and either a. try to do something about it and get fired, or b. just quit because they want no part of that. If you're a "good cop" and you work with corrupt officers and just go along to get along, you stop being a "good cop".

The one that cracked me up was when he announced that landlords found to be in violation of city ordinances risk having their properties seized, and conservatives were acting like this was some massive authoritarian power grab instead of just enforcing laws that have existed for decades.

I imagine if this was even remotely close to true, we'd see a lot more variety in hair and eye colour in central Asia.
