They'll still be around selling their services to the government I'm sure, but they're not going to be cheap at all.

With everything else going on it’s easy to forget that some states had to use National Guard troops to guard PPE shipments from being hijacked by feds

Wonder what a standoff would have looked like there.

I have faith that a Guardsman would hit at least 23/40 rounds.

Actually Stormtroopers weren't too bad at shooting, if you infer that during Episode IV the Stormtroopers were under instruction to miss, in order to make escape, and pursuit of escapees to the Rebel stronghold easier. Stormtroopers were fairly accurate in EP3, and between that and the assumption that they were told to miss their average accuracy across EP 2-6 was somewhere around 40%.

They just hit everyone except main characters in V/VI. Except one glancing hit of course.

Then again, Biden managed to bring Rick Bright who got fired from NIH for contradicting Trump into his COVID task force. The real problem is if Trump hammers actual smart people out of government, will they accept a position in a new administration, or decide that they'd rather make more money outside the government? E: The follow up tweet seems to imply that the Assistant Director has submitted his resignation, not Chris Krebs. Krebs is probably on the chopping block too, though. orange juche fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Nov 12, 2020 |

Fair point, but I also think it would be the ultimate way for him to rebuke/troll Trump. Besides Krebs seems like he legitimately carried about his job/public service. So I assume Trump is going to appoint Rudy as his replacement?

Well your whole argument falls apart because you forgot to consider that EP3 were the bred to kill clones and by the time 4 took place all of the clones had died due to their accelerated life cycle and were replaced by “”volunteers””

Imagine being stuck in some outer rim shithole like Jakku with no prospects and no way off world, and you don't know about the rebels etc, your only way off world is joining the Empire and becoming a stormtrooper, where you will deploy to wonderful, sought after locations like Hoth, Tatooine and the forest moon of Endor. Poor dudes got lied to by recruiters and told they'd be going to the tropical paradise of Scarif, and wound up getting airdropped into a jungle to get their heads bashed in by teddy bears with clubs and log traps. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Nov 12, 2020 |

There's plenty of cybersecurity jobs that are much closer to IT than to software engineering. Other entry level security watch jobs are much more monitoring dashboards and diving through logs to triage incidents for the security team.

I thought this article was interesting: The Denialist Playbook https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-denialist-playbook/ I learned a lot about polio. Polio was something the US population was super united about, and a vaccine was celebrated and welcomed as a huge breakthrough. But that doesn't mean you didn't have anti-vaxxers and straight up denialists (not least of which was the school of Chiropracty, which asserted that all diseases result from a misalignment of the spine) and the deniers followed the same playbook that we see today with anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, flat earthers, etc. The playbook boils down to: 1. Doubt the Science 2. Question Scientists’ Motives and Integrity 3. Magnify Any Disagreements among Scientists and Cite Gadflies as Authorities 4. Exaggerate Potential Harm 5. Appeal to Personal Freedom 6. Reject Whatever Would Repudiate A Key Philosophy (e.g. if you identify as a republican and republicans don't like taxes, then anything that even vaguely suggests taxation could in any way be good is automatically and totally wrong.)

Woofer posted:Now that you bring it up, I dont remember hearing much (or anything at all?) about long lines after the first few days of voting Yep! A lot of sites were overwhelmed on each state's first day because the turnout was basically that of a new iPhone launch. Once each state got past that first/second day, the crowds became manageable and were fine. There was still some limited bullshit about *where* the polling places were, or *how* the absentee ballots could be dropped off, but lines weren't really a concern. Expanded early and widespread mail basically made election day smooth sailing.
