Gonna go on a bit of a tangent.

While technically correct, this is one or the many hypocrisies of the United States. The ability to silence others is a grotesque one. And while the government on paper is prohibited from exercising such a power, that power is still abundant in the form of private companies that weild power equal to nation states. If the United States truly valued freedom of speech, the same would apply to private companies.

That is cool as fuck. Nice job

It was probably a mix or “I don’t get this” and “I don’t feel like it”.

Him “quitting” was because the other option was being fired and persecuted for falsifying safety documentation. He never actually did the tests, it was impossible to do so in less than a week, much less the day he claimed to do it in.

I worked as a tester for an embedded system, and there was a whole team of us. Our work was handed out in these big 3cm thick packets of testing sheets, with tables and graphs and instructions on how to test the system to make sure the code was safe for production.

A coworker was evidently not wanting to do his work one day, and “finished” a packet the same day it was handed to him. Now a single page of those tests could easily take you a half hour, assuming the arcane instructions were even clear to you.

He “quit” before the next day.

Tbh I accidentally downvote posts here on there with my fat thumbs on mobile. May not be malicious.

Shit like this is exactly why I take a burner phone on international trips. Fuck you, you aren’t getting my shit.

None of my friends really seem to get it though and always question it.

We can always celebrate the anniversary at ye old public bathroom

This reminds me or a minor, mostly friendly argument I had with my cousin one time about religion being a net negative for humanity.

Shit like this is why it’s a net negative.

According to my Hispanic fiancé, you must eat it like a savage animal, tearing at its flesh while it’s juices drip down your chin.

But you eat it over the sink because we’re not barbarians.

Those dell optiplexes aren’t gonna reuse themselves.

If you can afford it, there is always the vaccines from other countries. It’s fucked up that it’s come to this and there’s even more of a price tag on health.

It’s hard to tell these days. It’s a miracle The Onion is still in business.

Surely this will decrease food prices /s

So then don’t carry flour and rice, go with pemmican or something similar, high protein, high caloric, high density food.

A brick of pemmican is better than nothing, which is what they currently have.

They’re fascists, they always have an excuse. They can and did attack them under the excuse of the blockade.

I know it’s stupid, but I have this nagging thought that they should use a narco sub next time.

Almost certainly. But that doesn’t make it less fucked.

I knew it was going to be bad, but fuck that comment section is radioactive.

From wikipedia:

Lev Parnas is a former associate of Rudy Giuliani who was involved in the Trump–Ukraine scandal and the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. He was convicted of illegal donations to Trump’s campaign and sentenced to 20 months in prison in 2022.

In 2019, Parnas served as a translator for a legal case involving Dmytro Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch with close ties to the Kremlin and self-admitted Russian mob connections, who is fighting extradition to the U.S. to face bribery charges. Firtash has been free on bail in Vienna since 2014.

Strikes me as somebody who has a vested interest in adding more fuel to the fire. Either way this is scary and fucked.
