I dunno why this is brilliant. We used to hold orders all the time on Fridays while calling the cops because another drunk went through.

"Sorry sir, your order's gonna take a few minutes. We're making everything fresh because it's so late" while the boss is on the speed dial.

also had one come through one night that we didn't have to call the cops for. One cop parked across the lot exit, another pulled up behind the guy in line and another blocked the back of the lot so the guy couldn't get out the service exit. I guess the kids in his car were lost in a divorce and he took them from their home.

whoah alex jones came through your drive thru window once?

Prison planet guy disappointed that a Nazi was forced to punch a woman due to the inherent violence of the left.

Lol, punching some 95lb woman is the epitomy of manliness. God these guys are such pussies. I'll be they do that cartoony thing where they pick a fight, but first look for the wussiest person to do it to so they can score an easy hit

Death is healthy and good. Could you imagine a world ruled over by immortal transhuman Reagan forever?

Human beings will never beat death. Increases in the average lifespan are just that, averages, caused by reducing infant mortality and acute sources of mortality (disease and trauma). Maximum lifespan has always been what it's been.

Also (and not in defense to Libertarians or who the gently caress ever as much as in spite of our backwards economic system) contempoary American unions are far and often quite a mockery of any leftist/marxist concept of unions I think a lot of people have in their head. See: US Police union.

vOv i think a big part of the reason unions aren't as Huge A Deal now is simply that they aren't facing the opposition they used to

coal miners in the appalachians had chemical weapons dropped on them from private paramilitaries in the early 20's because they were arguing for things like "stop murdering people who strike", now they fight about details about regulatory schema

we're not even remotely ready for even a partial victory over death, so it's fortunate that no such thing is actually coming anytime soon

Heres some good news


Republicans spending like crazy, expecting a new era of robust economic growth (lol), ignoring the fact that we are bigly overdue for another recess and will be hit the hardest after trump guts whats left of social programs lmebo

Yeah a lot of the "good" news about economic confidence and poo poo like that, when broken down into partisan divide, shows that conservatives literally don't have a concept of reality. Dems economic confidence was slowly creeping up from 2008 as the economy slowly and shittily improved - republican economic confidence was in the toilet for 8 years and then had an 80 point spike in November. It's absurd.

burn down all startups salt the earth

Startups are actually an awesome place to work during college if you're shooting for a career in software development. Most are usually looking for the cheapest labor possible and are run by idiots, so if you can walk in there and wave a shiny thing in their face, there's a chance you might get a job

When I got hired at one back in 2010, no one asked any white board questions, they just saw my ghetto windows mobile phone flashed with Android and figured I knew my stuff enough to work there

It was an interesting place to work for too, it was located in the shittiest office building next to an asylum and staffed almost exclusively with Mormons. The funniest work story I have is still the one where a Mormon coworker had to pick up some crazy guy's poo poo by the front door.

So yeah, startups are great for stories and experience, but don't let them trick you into staying after you get a degree

in my experience the majority of American compsci grads these days either go right into the startup grift (in an attempt to scam VCs to retire at 35) or get hired off by finance and get paid twice the average salary for their job to do it for a bank instead of a productive industry

looking at tech jobs that advertise openings online most of them are data science for stock markets or making websites for a marketing dept. none of these people are doing anything revolutionary or even interesting, they're just consolidating wealth. capitalism owns

more from the alex jones hearing (via Charlie Warzel)
  • Fascinating moment here: Jury not in courtroom but Kelly Jones' attys arguing over which Infowars/Jones clips to enter into evidence.
  • The 1st clip = Alex w/ his son Rex at an event where there is a dartboard with Hilary Clinton's face on it - arguing he's indoctrinating son
  • The judge did NOT allow that clip into evidence. AJ's lawyers argued that there'd be Hillary Clinton fans on jury.
  • the next clip is of an FB Live vid of Jones at inauguration on the street arguing w/ woman and yelling "blow your rear end of the map" at camera
  • Judge: "I will not make this case about Jones & his political views" KJ aty: 'offering this for how he interacts'/ is disrespectful of women
  • KJ's lawyer says that Infowars clips aren't about politics but about "disregulated" behavior (of which KJ is being accused)
  • Next clip is of Alex Jones on Washington Mall before inauguration, slurring words. "i'm gonna go piss on some tree" he says in clip
  • Judge will allow the clips as long as they take out Jones saying "1776 will commence again" because it's political

You guys are thinking too hard about the libertarian mindset. All you need to do to understand is except these three simple truths as gospel fact and extrapolate from there:
1) Everything business= GOOD
2) Everything Government= BAD
3) Anything democrats like=


That's it. Makes viewing the complexities of the world way easier.
