He's not wrong, the two main parties absolutely do collude to create a duopoly.

He's also the wrong messenger to deliver the message.

I would mind less if the American auto industry was producing affordable lightweight EVs...

Over half of tech industry workers have seen the "great demo -> overhyped bullshit" cycle before.

Masturbatin' Mike Johnson just got his first legislative win!

I'm so proud of this man who sends his porn history to his underage son.

Oh fuck off on this one, Joe.

What exactly did you think would happen when you went on tv and announced that we would completely back Israel no matter what they did?

You expected restraint from an apartheid government in a blood rage?

Don't play dumb.

That's an ordinary braid.

I could explain how you'd French braid meat but I don't think anybody here wants that.

I remember my parents planning to retire to Texas about 10 years ago, I told 'em "that state's going to be unlivable b/c of climate change pretty soon, don't buy land there".

They're Republicans so pish-tosh. They have spent weeks this summer essentially unable to be outside anywhere.

A lot of computer people are also fucking weirdo outcasts who have zero interest in helping the FBI put the boot on people's necks.

What dimensional space are the people arranging themselves in?

But seriously, this reminds me of a time at my former (FAANG) employer where HR sent out a 40-minute video about not being an asshole and avoiding lawsuits.

12 minutes or so in, they say "as the number of people in a group increases, the number of potential 1:1 interactions increases exponentially." I thought "actually n(n-1)/2 but whatever", and finished the video intending to get on with my life.

My inbox was FULL of engineers who were irate. "HR have proven themselves to be fools!" "I expect the company to never ask me to waste my time on their bullshit again." "Once again non-technical people talking out their asses."

HR sent a global apology for the error, asked everybody to not watch the video while they fixed it, and released a patched version the next day.
