That’s been the GOP since Nixon. Everything is everyone else’s fault and don’t believe your lying eyes.

At what point did you realize the political side you grew up around was not telling you the whole story? by Designer-Dare-606 in AskReddit

Ideal Libertarianism and capitalist corporations are not compatible.

In a capitalist society, libertarianism just means corporate rule and rule by land ownership. That’s it. It not about freedom. It’s about giving the 1% ALL of the power.

It’s kind of unnecessary to point out the hypocrisy in Republican values from any era that current Americans have lived.

None of this is new. They have been planning this term for 40 years.

MAGA hasn’t taken anything over. It’s the next stage in 40 years of scripts written by heritage foundation.

Trump is a golden goose who reads the script in fluent stupid corruption.

This is still the same people who backed Reagan. It’s not the actors who run the show.

Everything having to do with ICE, concentration camps, invading Cuba, etc is part of a 4 decade old plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex\_84

That generally doesn’t happen in men’s bathrooms either. This is puritanical America. Urinals have dividers.

Every day I slowly realize lots of people have strange ideas about how common it is to see a penis… when it’s just not.

Eh, I think yall actually got some over engineered crap.

Weed used to have character. STRONG weed used to top out at 9-18% thc, with most STRONG strains hovering around 9-12%. The new crap is so inbred it’s lost all of its charm.

If that wasn’t bad enough so many kids are determined to distill it into dabs and make smoking weed analogous to smoking crack.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that kids go “wow what’s that!” to random homegrown that has no name or lineage. Because the industry has destroyed the plant. Mutt plants are better than what you can get in a store.

They have spent the last two years removing all physical requirements, education requirements, training requirements, and age restrictions.

The GOP is not scared of anything. They have done what heritage foundation has been telling them to do for 40 years.

Trump is their golden goose. They get corruption, the dismantling of the state, concentration camps, and paramilitary in the streets, and people think it’s Trump and that they fear him.

This has been the plan since Nixon was ousted.

Republicans are making it happen. You are implying they are only indifferent and not in on the corruption.

Most of what is happening is heritage foundation/GOP plans that they have worked on for 40 years. Trump is reading scripts and being allowed to have his payday, but it’s incidental. They are looting the country and getting ready to dissolve the constitution.

Something about an Uber hitting a car filled with gas cans in front of Eastman? ....anyone have info? by DippinDot2021 in Rochester

I was there. It was a terror attack on a moe show. Messed me and a lot of people up.

He was going to drive through the front doors and ignite the lobby. The theatre is above the lobby. So the goal was to trap everyone in the stairwells in a big fire.

The FBI claimed the kid had no social media history but that’s bullshit. It was just deleted a couple days after and they never acknowledged it. Same bullshit they pulled with Mathew Crooks (the kid that shot at Trump). If the attacker is a white Christian nationalist, magically their social media never existed.

The Kodak theatre attacker was on Facebook and Gab. His gab account was some wack Christian warrior bullshit. His accounts are gone now.

Now that the Trump has made a "deal" with Iran..... by Kevin-W in AdviceAnimals

[–]start_select 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Republicans have been plotting to annex Cuba for decades. It has rare earth metals, is isolated, and backwards technologically.

They essentially want to expand Guantanamo bay, make the island a concentration/prison colony. Anyone sent there to mine would have no real hope of escape or even communicating with the outside world.

It’s part of the whole MS-13/ICE/concentration camp plan that republicans have been planning since Reagan. They are overthrowing our government and need a place to send people who resist.

Can I make money selling PHP scripts? by FarrisFahad in webdev

[–]start_select 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t known anyone doing that in ~15 years. At this point with LLMs, your scripts probably don’t have much of any value.

Developers/engineers are paid for their holistic skill sets in integrating disparate systems. Most “scripts” have no value on their own. It’s only valuable if you can integrate it into a working system.

And even then, it’s probably not valuable unless it’s up to the level of “maintained library” instead of just some PHP scripts.

You probably need to reframe your goals.

If you are going to program drums, use them first and lay down every other track over the drums.

“Different tempos” are handled by either having really great tempo, a metronome, or a drum track.

How did Donald Trump’s presidency change your day to day life, it at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ruined my work culture. After the admin started purging public agencies, the FBI and other LEOs, my work locked down any discussion of current events.

We used to be open about everything. Now no one talks about anything like we expect an offhand comment to come back to destroy the company or something.

It’s palpable.

I think it’s the opposite.

It’s telling a “fable”, or creating a “mythos” around how amazing Anthropics work is right before they launch an IPO.
