I'm guessing they planned to continue using AI at work

They're "fighting non-stop"... except they're fighting for tyranny.

I really like this about Expedition 33. It replenishes all your items whenever you rest and even has loading screen hints to tell you to use you them.

Yeah these companies 100% know what their workforce looks like. I had a family member who was a manager at meat packing plant in the Midwest. He would hire immigrants who would provide a social security number that he knew wasn't their own. If it came back as invalid, they would come back the next day with a different social security number and he would hire them.

This was the plant's policy, though eventually he did get fired for it when they needed a fall guy.

When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues.

That whole paragraph screams "I watched Fox News and found myself in a conservative media bubble." This dumbass fell into the hate trap and thought "If I hate like them, they'll know I'm one of the good ones and will accept me."

May the leopards feast upon her gullible face.

I'm going to hell for laughing at that

Lol I was actually thinking about this earlier today when I drove by Parker and Main. I saw that they already had the ferris wheel up and everything. Then I got home and read about the No Kings protest and saw there was one scheduled for Saturday in Parker. I thought "well this is going to be damn interesting."

For those unaware of Parker, the only place you'd want to hold a protest is on Main St, which is where Parker Days takes place. The thing is, tens of thousands of people show up and they shut the whole street down and setup a fair.

So if a thousand people show up and protest, what is that going to look like? It's already ridiculously crowded where you're packed in shoulder to shoulder with people. So we'll see what happens.

Glad to see Iowa represent! Where was that at?

We drive across the country every summer to visit family. Growing up, my parents used to talk about different routes and which one felt faster. Like "you can get off the interstate and take this county road and shave some time off." But then they'd argue about if it was worth taking a road with a lower speed limit even if it was less distance.

Eventually they tried to impart that wisdom to me and would ask "so which route are you taking?" It took years for them to finally grasp that I just go whatever the way the GPS tells me is faster.

What a good wife she would be.

You say "they" as if states don't have different districts. Boebert came from a right-leaning district, but was so toxic she couldn't get re-elected there. So she had to move to an even more right district in order to win.

Plus they get the added bonus of filling all the American roles in Chinese-made films.

 

 
 

Greene's squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: "I'm a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I'm a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come." ...

Another X user ran Greene's post through Grok, asking the AI bot, "[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?"

Grok responded by saying that while Greene "identifies as a Christian" by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, "her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate."

Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.

CJMusic May 1, 2025:

I regret voting for Trump.

My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.

This is not what I voted for.

Transcript:

I'm officially unemployed. Today I was RIF'd from the government. It's such a surreal and humbling moment; one that I knew was coming but secretly thought and wished would never happen. I started working for SBA in 2010 during my senior year of college. I came in as an emergency hire and was placed on the student career experience program. I worked in accounts payable for 14 years before moving to contracting in October. I worked remotely since 2017 when I was placed on a reasonable accommodation after shattering my kneecap while walking into work. I worked countless hours from different hospitals I was inpatient in from 2017-2023. I relied on work to get me through many difficult times in my life while I was alone in the hospital or angry at the universe. It kept me mentally sane for many years and gave me a purpose in life. I took a lot of pride over the team I managed and the work that we produced. I wouldn't change one thing about my federal career and hope one day I can continue it.

For now, it is time to figure out what is next for me. To all my fellow government workers, I want to say it's been a privilege being able to work with you. The government is full of a lot of highly intelligent and hard working individuals. I know that we will all be ok after the dust has settled and make a game plan for what is next. I have met so many great people in the government and hope the best for everyone!

For everyone that knows someone in the federal workforce, please check in on them. This is a scary and sad time for most of us and we are not ok at the moment and are faced with some scary unknown challenges that we have not faced before.
