"We didn’t take vacations,” she said. “If they were sick, they had to get up and go to work, because if the doors weren’t open, we weren’t making money."

This pretty much nails the distinction between left and right. It's "we had a shit time so everybody else should" vs "we had a shit time, let's make sure other people don't have to"

I think a big part of it is the image of wealth and success he's cultivated. The tacky gold shit everywhere, always wearing a suit unless he's golfing, and so on. People with no taste see that and find it attractive and want in.

Strip all that away and he's a used car salesman or blowhard at the end of the bar who won't shut the fuck up.

Understandable, I won't be watching as long as that bunch of genocidal freaks is welcome.

Denis Villenueve's movies are good examples.

I’m torn, against the death penalty but if that’s what he wants who am I to disagree with him?

It’s accelerating and decelerating to that with every orbit, I think?

Can confirm, was 19 for a year.

It could be a moronic sysadmin, it could just as easily be a moronic exec pushing staff to implement this crap right now and damn the consequences.

I used to think he was merely useless, now I think he's a collaborator.

I'd happily see consumer fireworks banned. If people like them so much then there are plenty of organized displays which have way better shit than you can buy at Walmart, and I know roughly when they're happening so I can turn the TV up loud, close my windows and keep my pets from being too traumatized.

What I can't stand is the random 3AM explosions that sounds like the start of WWIII. If you're one of those people, fuck you. Sincerely.

Bring me the head of Sam Altman.

I'm so tired of these fucking assholes who think they're so smart only because they're too wealthy to encounter people willing to tell them how fucking stupid they are.

I know history is full of nasty little dictators and their lackeys but have any of them ever been this fucking childish?

I detest this company for many reasons, it's like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.

Here's just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the "PC Health Check" app says no, the i5 processor isn't supported.

I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that's what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.

Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

Assholes.

David Attenborough, and I hope he's around for as long as he wants to be.

At least it's a hardware person taking over and not some marketing twat.

I don't think anyone expects an improvement when the candidate pool consists entirely of sycophantic psychopaths.

If ICE agents were smart they would refuse to do this. Sooner or later someone is going to defend their home against these goons, using lethal force. The government is deliberately putting these morons in harm's way so they can use the death of an agent as political currency; people like Miller care so little about ICE agents that they wish to see them dead.

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

I've never really understood the attraction Pedolf has, he's always been a vapid moron to me. Vance though? There's no way he can hold this coalition of the worst of humanity together.
