This is the stimulus you didn’t hear? ;)

Listen, Trump will ruin your 401ks. Every American has a 401k right?

Happened to me about a decade ago, they took my financial aid loan for it. Almost done paying it.

dammit!

weird how this is supposed to be a slam

I think they mean that biden plans to "do an avengers end game" and snap half of the average americans into non-existence. but the snap will take at least twice as long as Trump's snap.

look, it's not about the fact that you'll never be successful. It's about the right that you have to do it. But also, the employer has the right to counter your request for a wage increase by firing you to hire someone who will, out of desperation, accept less pay. But it's important that these rights remain intact, because rights are good. How do you not get this?

is his comment supposed to give his message authority? Why the shoutout to the former friend?

I think what I learned from this part and mentioning how many decades they watched TV for, is that they watch a lot of TV. What fucking ads is he talking about lol? imagine paying attention to TV ads.

she says, while being submerged into molten steel like at the end of terminator two

yeah, so happy about where my labor goes 😢

A little tangential, but I see this a lot in the “infosec” community. There’s so much emphasis on sales and marketing and buzzwords (I imagine this is common in across the entire capitalist landscape), and actually keeping networks safe is an after thought at best and completely ignored at worst. Sales staff exist to convince companies to buy something regardless of their need for it. Development is driven by perception of value not actual value. Those of us that actually find network defense interesting basically have to just stick to skunkworks. Half the time you could get more value out of a fucking python script.

Does anyone read this and go “oh shit you’re right,” better update my pronouns

This is the exact response I get. Had a friend saying “bring on the meteor” because nothing can be done. When I tried to segue into what can and needs to be done it’s poo pooed because communism bad. Then it becomes a blue no matter who harm reduction conversation... when the conversation literally started with “we’re doomed”.

Yeah me neither

My partners mom is living with us since she got stuck in the us when covid happened. Last time duterte came up she just said “he just doesn’t like drug dealers, He doesn’t care you don’t do drugs”. I guess we can also add being trans to that list.

I’m assuming so

yeah, it took me a bit to realize that was supposed to be a bad thing. Seriously, who wants an HOA other than people who like to fantasize about home equity

yeah I doubt it's in good faith. talking about how left biden is seems to be their scare tactic

oh shit, doug the retired army officer isn't voting for Trump? I guess I better change my voting plans.
