Just like he said last time.

Unchanged. Still gonna vote for her. I'm more enthusiastic now that she picked Walz over some of the other finalists though. I'll probably buy some campaign stickers now in addition to voting.

Thank you for ending your 2024 campaign, Joe Biden. That was hero shit. That humility and duty to something bigger than himself is exactly what made him so much better as a leader than trump ever could've been. Joe has earned his retirement, and there's a part of me that hopes that he becomes the first former president to die of badass causes, flipping his Vette doing a buck eighty or something lol. But not for another couple decades.

Even funnier, he said that she was always Indian and then "became a buh-lack person".

Garbage human being, but he would be a hilarious character in a sketch if he were fully fictional.

There's nothing outrageous about consequences for war crimes when the real outrage lately is over the lack of said consequences.

I know a Sysco burger when I see one. Normal burgers aren't chode cylinders; Sysco burgers have goddamn right angles. They taste like they're about 40% gristle. It's basically just the "technically beef" parts of dollar store dog food pressed into the vague shape of a burger patty. The paper that separates the frozen turd patties is better, both in terms of flavor and nutrition. Fuck Sysco burgers. If Sysco reads this and doesn't like what I have to say, they can go fuck themselves until their asshole is as fucked up as a Sysco burger eater's asshole 93 minutes after their shitty lunch.

The answer is actually pretty simple. Musk is a man child who doesn't like criticism. He lives in a bubble. He fires people who disagree with him and listens to anybody who fawns over him. He appeals to the loudest ones he allows himself to hear. That's why he made that dumbass truck. There's not actually many people who want that hideous, broken monstrosity, but his worshippers shouted that they wanted a truck.

He's also scrambling to get money coming in. Twitter is falling apart. People are starting to wake up and realize that he's nothing more than a lucky nepo dipshit. To soften his losses, he's doing a shitload of layoffs and cutting corners wherever he can. Quality is dropping on his products that already had quality issues. Brand recognition and reputation will start to be a net negative factor as a result.

If he wants to turn Tesla around, musk needs to pivot to producing tech for other car companies and stop making cars themselves.

Because he "tells it like it is" or something. Idk. The kind of people still falling for his grift are too shameless to ever admit that they ever fell for his grift, so they're doubling down, succumbing to the sunk cost fallacy. They just stay in their echo chambers and saturate their awareness with weird culture war shit and then never hear about what's actually happening. Half of them probably don't even know that their guy is a defendant in criminal court this week. Willfully ignorant.

"When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." Richard Nixon, 1977, David Frost interview.

Idk, kinda seems like this is just what would've happened if Nixon had Fox News batting for him.

Kernel level anticheat for a few games is the only real speedbump I'm aware of, and it's only on a couple of game franchises like CoD I think. I would love it a ton of people made the switch and it hurt those games' companies revenue noticeably enough that they look for a way to moderate cheating without just lazily requiring Windows in order to play online.

Linux is finally convenient enough to realistically steal swaths of customers from Microsoft, and it's at the same time that Windows 11 is pissing a ton of people off. We're in for some strange times.

The article doesn't say, but if I were a betting man I'd put my money on the half that aids the party that is technically in power in the House yet achieving absolutely nothing; the half that is taken hostage by an extremist arm that is poisoning otherwise (presumably) respectable resumes. Can you imagine explaining in a job interview that you were a senior staffer for somebody like Boebert or Gaetz? I'd rather just say I was a senior staffer for "a member of Congress" and avoid talking about who exactly. I don't think I'd even mention which Congress because this session is so goddamn embarrassing to be affiliated with.

If it was around the time I suspect, he might've been worried about the me too stories that were breaking. Which means he thought his own conduct could've been seen as questionable. Which means it was very questionable. So bullet dodged. Hooray for not being one of his sexual assault victims.
