The Dems ratfucked a socialist? I am shocked.

If he does this I'm gonna try to start a flag burning TikTok trend. Resistance libs will love it.

Houston is just a pile of concrete and asphalt on top of a swamp

China should start a refugee program for anyone in the US. Not only would it be awesome for me, but it would be hilarious. Honestly it would probably be a smart move for any country with the means to do it. The only people who would probably go are going to be the least terrible USians and many of them would thrive if given basic living standards. Only real problem would be difficulties with assimilation, but nothing that six months of living/working in a community with native speakers can't fix.

I just want a chance to have a home that I can't be evicted from on a whim and maybe to not work until I die. Also it would be nice to not have masked agents abducting my neighbors. Oh and trains! Omg giant salamanders too. Fuck I want to move to China so bad please save me daddy Xi

Destiny's Child disbanded in 2006, which is before any of his victims were born

Obviously Dems don't think trump and crew are the existential threat they claim or they'd have assassinated him during Biden's term or at the end of Obama's. A simple plane crash could've gotten rid of trump and at least some of his admin.

Libs would probably do this to anyone left of Bernie

Edit: also fuck Gavin I hate that fascist piece of shit so much and I'm not surprised Dems love him. They'll fall for a handsome, well-spoken man every time. Bro platformed every piece of shit he could find and agreed with them over and over, but libs don't even care! They'll call us racist for not wanting to vote for Kamala, but Gavin is totally cool for uh...giving Steve fucking Bannon a platform?

The primary problem with any group based on identity instead of some greater goal (or at least ideology) is that wreckers will always be there. If it's a marginalized community, libs will wreck it almost every time with their bullshit. Trans people who are still libs will almost 100% of the time sacrifice another trans person for the approval of their fellow libs.

I watch Idiocracy every few years and I'm always surprised how well the writer(s) did on some stuff. Obviously it's still pretty libbed up, but God damn there are so many parallels

I already forgot what it was called, but there was some political rally or something run by a bunch of lib influencers that ended up just being a fullblown grift. I can't remember who was even involved anymore. I wanna say the name of it included the word "fuck"? It wasn't even that long ago. I think this Olivia Juliana person was part of it

Edit: it was called the "unfuck America tour" and it wasn't Olivia, but other lib grifters

Before 2010, the estimated lifespan for American early adults increased every year. Deaths from HIV and cancer were plummeting. Homicides had fallen dramatically, and fatalities from circulatory disease, a major cause of death at every adult age, were also falling in this age group. But sometime after 2010, for almost every cause of death, this changed

Thanks Obama!

Edit: more seriously, wtf we live in hell

Yeah, I think your edit is correct. The rules are already in place that allow him to freeze rent, so it's not actually outside of the law. I'm pretty sure the state could still block it if they really wanted to, but it would probably be a serious threat to reelection for dems.

As for the tolls, I really don't know. I think maybe it's just trump doing whatever without any real regard for laws, but I'm sure they can twist it around in some way to make it "legal"

 

Ok so, somehow I ended up being a manager at work. Mostly I just don't bother anyone and protect them from the bosses when I can. However, I'm a software dev and they had me make a bunch of scripts and such to measure productivity. I didn't really want to because fuck that, but as I was working on it I realized none of the bosses will ever look at this code or question the output.

I ended up padding the stats quite a bit in "honest" ways by doing things like excluding weekends and holidays. I also round everything up to the nearest whole number. But then I decided to just add extra values here and there as well. Instead of starting the count at 0, I start at 1.

The bosses asked for a monthly report, so I give them 28 days (and don't count the weekends). I drop the lowest count days if there are more than 28 days in the month and present all of the stats as monthly.

Anyway, just remember there are lots of ways to help your coworkers and you don't actually have to do any managing if everyone understands what's up. Just be really careful and try to always give yourself plausible deniability. LLMs are a great excuse to shift blame right now even if you aren't using one

Anyone else have ideas or things they've done?

 

Recently I've had some frustrating conversations with people. Someone said Oregon is "deeply red", which sounds like an absolutely unhinged thing to say when you consider all branches of government in OR are controlled by Dems.

I'm sure I was rude to the person, but I tried to explain how ridiculous that is. If Oregon is deeply red then what is Alabama? Just because the rural areas are conservative? I spent way too long on this one.

Anyway how do you handle this kind of nonsense in the world? I usually just say what I'm thinking to people these days, but more and more it's feeling like I should just stfu and let people believe whatever

 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place
