Personally I don't even like working inside, I like outside and doing manual labor, which I did for many many years. If they phase my job out I have no problem digging ditches or whatever. Driving a fork lift, moving boxes all day.

Didn't some semi important coder guy get busted because he was working from home and instead of doing his job, he was paying some Asian coder to do it for him instead for super cheap? I'm likely mis-remembering because it was awhile ago, but that's funny either way.

The mechanic told me my engine had thrown a rod and it was shot, the car was basically totaled and I should get a new one, but this guy on the corner said he could fix the engine with snake oil and that I was handsome and smart. It was pretty expensive, but I can't wait to drive it again.

lil pissbitch posted:There are allegations that the Russians helped Trump win the election. "By rigging the election" on the extreme side and "By subtle political persuasion" on the more moderate side. So if it turns out Trump and his aides were taking direction on how to win the election from Russia that would be, uh...*shuffles index cards around* well yep that would be ...'Treason'... If you consider Hillary Clinton being a terrible candidate who lost because she completely ignored working class votes then yes the election was rigged. Teflon Don isn't going anywhere but keep wishing guys.

Reminder that Bernie had a great chance to beat Trump but the DNC hosed him over because it was "Clinton's turn". They've learned nothing and the Democratic party is going to lose a poo poo load of 2018 elections and Trump will be re-elected because of their stubbornness.

Like, lets take any of the sciences or even computer poo poo for example. Have you ever known any news source to reliably, intelligently, and consistently report on any science/computer information accurately without getting some important aspect of it wrong? The same thing applies to pretty much every category the news talks about.
