In 2000 if you told me I’d be unemployed in 2020 I’d be like “yeah, probably. I am a stupid idiot.” It if you told me I’d actually be unemployed because jobs don’t exist anymore since the guy from Home Alone 2 is running the country like it’s a building he wants the poor to move out of, and his response to the existence of a plague was to say “nuh uh” for almost five months, I’d definitely not believe it.

If you told me most likely the aid package to help everyone effected by it is not going to be renewed, despite there being no abatement of said plague, because republicans think the real problem is America is too lazy to work when they’re not completely gripped with all possible forms of existential terror, well... that I would have bought. But the part where Golden New York Land Democrat took over the country and discovered white nationalism and Burger King aren’t effective ruling strategies... I’d tell you to first pull the other one then get out of the way, Daria is on.

We were so basic back then, thinking nukeulerr strategery was the height of national embarrassment based humor. It’s all so hacky in retrospect, having steeped myself for four years in the moving, wryly clever musings of our republican failson celebrity equivalent to Octavio Paz.

i think a lot of people assumed that mike was like most cspammers - significantly to the left of bernie, but advocating for him as the only humane option even though he's not perfect.

that might be the case but it turns out that publicly he is not willing to go any further left than bernie outside of the studio

The left doesn't need a famous spokesperson, we need to teach our people how to stand up on their own, even if no one else will.

Solid hours of that.

It's hilarious, SF cancelled their annual fireworks show, but instead of fighting and jockeying for position to where I can see without getting squashed by a human morass, I got one that I was able to watch from my stoop, well beyond six feet from the sidewalk.

No footage, I'm afraid. I ain't a snitch.

Oof! I hated stuff like that when it affected ratings for my job. Our main metric was “likelihood to recommend.” I had given the client great service, they even said so in the review but they 1-star’d that metric citing “none of my friends use computers.” I don’t blame them for that situation, but it was also like a “drat!” moment.

I wouldnt be surprised if the algorithms are also weighted so folks who quickly respond with perfect 5s and click every compliment or whatever less weight to avoid people like us 'gaming' the system.
Yes, still dropping anyone who averages less than 4.0 into a hellqueue, and firing anyone who dips below 3.7 or whatever.
