Please do not perceive me.
Yeah, it should be tax funded and overseen by an independent oversight group.
I don’t know why this is such a difficult thing. Access to information is necessary for a healthy society. Things that are necessary for a healthy society but aren’t profitable should be tax funded, that’s the purpose of the taxes.
The people specifically elected and appointed to hold him responsible to his oaths of office have abdicated their duty.
Many of the rest of us are busy being shot, arrested, and/or deported about it.
Ultrakill has become a trans meme for some reason I can’t identify and is no question my favorite shooter I’ve ever played, ever, and it’s not close
So I recommend checking that out I guess
Jokes and puns show a mastery of the language they’re written in.
I know a little Spanish, I can write technical documentation in Spanish well enough with some translation assistance. I can’t make a joke in Spanish, though. I especially can’t make a pun, which relies on knowledge of both the joke and the “straight intention” of the pun.
If you can make a pun in another language off the top of your head I’d probably consider you fluent in that language for all intents and purposes.
I went and got “tested” once and was told it is impossible that I have ADHD because I did not commit crimes as a child.
No, seriously. I didn’t steal things, I didn’t fight people, primarily because I was afraid of my dad and his physical punishment. Apparently this is a key lynchpin criteria of an ADHD diagnosis. Never mind that I constantly got into minor trouble for never shutting up, or that I couldn’t sit still, or that I read literally every single book in the entire fiction section of my middle school library in the 3 years I attended that school. Never mind that ADHD-memes groups read like a structural study of my life.
Guess I’ll just fucking suffer I suppose 🤷
Right, that’s all good. Now you have to get a couple of low-ranking servicemen to carry out every step of that hundred page manual to the letter on each of their several dozen machines, daily, after they’ve been deployed for an ongoing 10 months because their superiors are morons, and are further scheduled to become the longest running carrier deployment of all time at over a year of deploy time, because their superiors are morons.
I’d believe that some corners were cut in these servicemen’s duty, and it just happened to be one too many corners one too many times. The men are fatigued, they want to get off the ship. It’s possible these corners were even cut on purpose with exactly this result in mind in an attempt to get them off the ship.
You say “fired all the five star generals”, I say “created new leadership opportunities for disgruntled veterans”.
America is going to end up with two armies, one full of soldiers and one full of sycophants and idiots. Boy, this doesn’t sound familiar or anything, does it?
Religion was most useful to us when it was used to reign in kings who feared nothing except the wrath of God. It was, in fact, quite effective at that and I think we’re largely better off for it. That use case has outlived its usefulness by now though.
I think it is likely that the Ukraine war will be widely considered the beginning of a series of events that will later be labeled “the ramp up to WWIII”, of which this is an indirect extension.
He already did that back in 2022 and made a loud argument that his own marriage should be annulled.
Ask yourself: why did Joe Biden, of all people, win, where Clinton and Harris didnt?
Because he was an already known name that evoked memories of better times. He was Obama’s VP and people liked him in that position, that’s why he won, it’s very simple. Clinton wasn’t VP, wasn’t well liked, and was known to be an unreliable prospect. Harris was not known to the majority of people. Both Clinton and Harris had contentious campaign statements that worried and alienated a significant percentage of their potential voters. Harris, in addition, also was never voted for in a primary, she was simply assigned as Biden’s heir and we were supposed to just run with that and be okay with it. She really never had a chance no matter who she was. Clinton was consistently cringey and reeks of moneyed interests, she was never an attractive option to democratic voters, and would never stand a snowball’s chance in hell of converting any Republican voters like she seemingly wanted to because her husband was one of the favorite Republican whipping boys of all time. They all hate the Clintons, for poorly defined reasons.
I quit IT work to be a mechanic. It’s exactly the same problem-solving process, but the problems are almost always way less arcane. I’m very happy with the switch.
If you wanted to make the switch yourself, the skill sets are very interchangeable. You’re just debugging an alternator instead of an Active Directory setup. If you have a willingness to learn you’ll be up to speed in under a year.
Very goofy and annoying for modders since if you wanted a useful name you have to first decompile Minecraft, then change all the names, and then when you compile change all references to said names in your code back to their actual obfuscated nonsense.
I expect this is what things like Forge were handling, right?
And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?
Is the single red LED solid, or is it flashing Morse for “please kill me”?
Would you say the same about all Russians? That all Russians are the enemy and deserve death because their leader Putin is a warmonger?
Fucking right?
3am on a Tuesday, I can’t possibly get anything done at this time, I have all of the collective motivation I’ve ever managed to scrape together in my entire life hit me all at once.
Any other point in time? Fuck you, best I can do is a headache.
These mother fuckers are going to make me want to support a poll exam.
To be clear, that’s an absolutely terrible, no good, awful idea that is guaranteed to be weaponized and we should never, ever want this to happen. But I am at a loss as to how else to make sure your voting base is at least minimally educated enough to understand what they are voting for.
I’ve always considered it to be one of my fundamental principles that every single living person should have a voice in how they are governed. I don’t care how stupid you are or how evil you are, if you are being governed by another, you deserve a voice in that conversation to steer your government in a direction you find acceptable.
I’m getting that fundamental principle extremely rocked at the moment, and I do not know how I should feel about it. I now simultaneously hold that position as well as the position of “some people just shouldn’t fucking be allowed to vote”, and this is a rock and a hard place that I’m finding it very difficult to reconcile.
No kidding, this cat looks like it could bench press a German Shepherd
