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.

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.

How did AI help linux noobs? Sounds interesting.

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!

I don’t get YouTube ads. Between my Pihole and Ublock, I see nothing.

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.

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.

I watch YouTube on a TV, as the good lawd intended, not on a pocket screen.

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.

Among other reasons you’ve been given:

• The figured MN folks would be peaceable and lay down.
• No open carry of weapons.
• Didn’t think they’d show out in deep winter. (HAH!)

I have a few tiny guns like that. It would jam on the next shot from limp wristing it. She bought it because it was cute, has no idea how to use it.

For the life of me I cannot see why training requirements violate the 2A.

Yes. My last 3 were excellent businessmen and treated employees exceptionally well.

The one before that was a buffoon, but that was a tiny 13-person company. Our main vendor said, “He’s a man who has found great success despite himself.”

I bought one! Not that brand, forget what I have, but I can’t afford to replace the carpet so I need it.

O365 is a little different because of the utility and backwards compatibility of Excel. My last shop was all Google, but I still had to buy Office for accounting and HR (for some reason).

One can quickly learn their way around other office programs, but Excel is the killer app in office productivity.

Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.

This would be like taking Musk’s money by making him sell his stocks. Once the market is flooded with paper, it becomes less and less valuable, very quickly. Musk doesn’t actually have hundreds of billions anymore than the UE has trillions in US treasuries.

I know that’s ridiculously oversimplified, but someone has to buy those bonds, and the later you are to the selling table, the less you get.

Vance will immediately catch all the blame for Trump’s actions. I do not envy his upcoming role.

The cultists are aware on some level that this is all madness, but they’ve committed, can’t change their support.

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

None of them rallied for Vance, and they’ll eat him alive the second he’s sworn in. With Trump dead, “These OTHER people fooled me!”

It ALL changes when Trump dies, overnight. No cult survives the death of the leader. Vance steps in, he’s immediately to blame for everything Trump did. Many of these fanatics are looking for an offramp from the madness, but they can’t turn on Trump. (They don’t know this, but they need a way to say they weren’t wrong.)

Or, look at it from another angle, you think MAGA gives two shits about Hegseth, Miller, Bondi, Vought, Kennedy, Noem, et. al.? LOL, man-on-the-street doesn’t have a clue who those people are, but they’ll turn into targets without Trump’s cover.

OR, think on this. Would Germany have continued down the Nazi path if Hitler had died early in the game? Hell, even if he died late in the game, think the people would have rallied behind Goebbels or Dönitz?

Anyone who’s been around someone with a serious case of NPD, or a toddler, knows exactly how to play Trump. EU leaders tried some of those games, but now that his dementia is off the cliff, he’s no longer predictable, time to cut the cord and get it over with.

Easy to say, I know. I’m not responsible for my country’s economy and citizen welfare.
