13,000 Federal Employees Receive Abusive Email in Comms System Exploit: ‘Tired of Working for a Complete C*nt?’

Number of federal employees

1970: 2.8 million

2024: 3.0 million

US Population

1970: 203 million

2024: 340 million

All they do is lie. Federal employees make life better for all, and all they've ever seen is shrinking resources and more workload.

Fuck Republicans and fuck everyone who votes for this shit.

American lives will get worse, and unfortunately the morons who vote for this are too fucking stupid to connect dots and realize how nice their lives are with what government does for them.

It's so nice to see people installing gender neutral bathrooms nowadays

Celebrating the confederacy is wrong, but I also think museum-like stuff and graveyards are harmless and should be respected. First of all, not everyone who served had much of a choice. Many were expected to serve on one side or the other merely because of where they lived. This is true of much of history. Second, they're dead. It's over for these specific people. They're not a current problem. It's just disrespectful no matter who it is.

I am NOT defending anything confederate, but I know that nuance is lost on most people.

maga neighbour came over and lost morale

I sincerely doubt most of these stories are actually happening. It's true. But I doubt the actual interaction occurred. Seeing this same story different ways all over the internet. I live in a region surrounded by right wingers and aside from those flags and occasional hats, I hardly ever hear anyone outright talk about their politics.

Butter is serious business

A good example why nationalism and pride about it makes no sense. Most people had no choice in where they are from, and had no influence on something like this. Having pride in something you did not influence and had no choice in is really weird and kind of narcissistic.

This is why it gets toxic and dangerous easily. We see similar issues with fans of sports teams, even though the fan has literally nothing to do with the team.

boycott Nintendo products

I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named "angry mushroom" and stuff like that.

Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child's tombstone.

Fuck these corporations.

Remember that Dale also did not know what the confederate flag truly meant. He just thought it was a southern thing. And the minute someone told him how offensive it was to them, he went and immediately scraped it off his truck and apologized.

Dale wasn't no damn loser traitor.
