  • Stocks tumble after Trump vows to hit Iran 'extremely hard' in coming weeks

  • Little late for Pammy to give a fuck now. :)

  • Israel has forfeited their right to exist. Withdraw all Western aid, let the Arab nations do as they fucking please. Annihilate this hateful little nation of religious fruitcakes. I no longer care what happens to every last man, woman, child and pig.

  • No Kings protests draw estimated 8 million in largest single-day U.S. demonstrations

    Jump

  • I'm of mixed feelings. These protests are great in conservative areas like mine so we can be heartened by seeing so many allies. But in blue cities and states it feels like preaching to the choir.

  • You don't work hard for the company, you work hard for yourself. Let them pay you to stack your resume and build relationships, BAIL. Has it never occurred to you folks that you can game the system in your own favor?! How is, "I'll be lazy and stick it to the man!", working out for you? It's not or you wouldn't give memes like this the time of day.

  • I wonder how old you are. Gen X was raised, rather uniquely, to make our own decisions. Schools allowed even kindergartners to make simple decisions, and we had to deal with it if we fucked up. Same for being latchkey kids. We were alone after school, had to decide what to do for ourselves and live with the consequences.

    Had a stepson in elementary 20 years ago; my own kids are now 11 and 13. Schools are a fucking horror show. Kids don't even get a locker! We had to be responsible for getting books and whatever else was needed between classes. In 2nd grade, once that final bell rang, we were on our own. We could play in the creek, walk, skate or bike home, whatever. Now you're not leaving without a parent the teacher recognizes or on a bus. In high school we could leave campus at lunch, but you better be back on time, no excuses for poor decisions. You could light up with your teacher in the smoke hole. (An example of allowing bad decisions! Lord.)

    Kids are no longer taught to think and solve problems. They are taught to pass standardized tests. Teachers are culled if they don't toe the party line, so the best are mostly gone. Neither the kids nor the teachers get to make decisions any longer. It's like the meat grinder from The Wall.

    No rose colored glasses here! Teachers could beat the shit out of us. The number of pedophile teachers in my middle school was horrifying once we hit college and looked back. Hell, pedophiles were tolerated as mere weirdos!

    But at least we were trained, perhaps inadvertently, to make decisions.

  • Haven't seen his preceding remarks, if there were any, but it's telling that they snatched him the second "Israel" came out his mouth. I am more convinced that ever that Israel is our enemy and has forfeited their right to exist.

  • Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

  • You got an economic system in your back pocket that doesn't allow money to funnel upwards? Bring it out! It's not capitalism you're complaining about, it's plutocracy we're living under.

    Adam Smith would be horrified at our monopolies. 1980s conservatives would be horrified! Yeah, the economy has always served the wealthy, but it wasn't anything like today.

  • My enthusiasm for tech is basically gone.

  • I have a dozen hobbies, but don't know a way to make a living except IT. Haven't had a good job in nearly two years, don't give a fuck about tech any longer, so lost.

  • White House Says We Had to Bomb Iran Because Trump Had a “Feeling”

    Jump

  • He can't. The strict command and control structure between POTUS and launch keys will break down, just as it did with 3 or 4 events during the Cold War.

  • Late reply, I'm rarely on here but I wanted to answer you and anyone coming along in the future. US here, talking about conditioner we use to make our hair soft and shiny after using shampoo.

    It's happened a few times, no doubt with different products. The reddit thread was saying it's because the conditioner residue dries the skin and you should wash off with soap. Funny enough, I just did this yesterday, for the first time in many months. No problem so far!

  • That and many other simple laws. I've been saying these DCs are a local government problem. Nearly every one of these building permits could be denied by city and county goverments.

  • You got me thinking, such a canal could easily be disrupted. Hell, Hormuz is only 26km at the thinnest point and Iran can dominate the whole strait. Picture a bomb hitting the Panama Canal.

  • Saw an interview with him last night. They were totally unprepared to film that video, amateur hour. He was young and scared shitless, made up the dance on the spot. Guy doing backflips? "Hey guys! Watch what I can do!" In the video he went. There was a guy yelling out his apartment window for them the shut the fuck up down there. Wardrobe? Nope, those were his own clothes.

  • Nah, SCOTUS pushed back on Trump, first time around and this time as well. The administration had a solid run of Supreme Court wins for several months because they only brought cases they thought were slam dunks. Now that we're getting into meaty subjects like birthright citizenship, the justices look to stand firm. Too little, too late, I know.

    Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them?
