There's something about this woman this is just violently repulsive to me - sincerely get a burning nausea watching her talk. There is a place for tolerance but this sort of person should have every aspect of their life ruined (though there's likely not much there that can be made worse)

The funny thing is that most countries have this. If they elect an evil senile orange hate golem, they can call for early elections.

Just abolish the damned office. It's too powerful for what it was supposed to be, too dangerous, and too easily stolen.
Replace it with a third body of representatives or nothing at all.

There's some GBS poster who's obsessed with hating the south and he got some redtext featuring Sherman quotes. I thought it was goons putting words in shermans mouth but nope it's some real :stare: stuff.

I can't emphasize enough how much loving mayo Jimmy John's puts on their subs. Ask for light mayo. Also their lettuce is poo poo. If you work near them though a couple of times a year they will bring a tray of sample subs to your office or other workplace, which is nice.

Oh yeah for sure this. Ask for light sandwich lubrication.

Jimmy Johns is good if you remember two things;

1)always get wheat bread (which is sliced and fluffy and not a hard roll like their regular bread and helps absorb some of the mayo)

2) Always ask for bean sprouts. Because gently caress yeah, sprouts.

The Beach Club is delicious. Turkey, mayo, tomato, mayo, cheese, cucumber, mayo, avocado, and bean sprouts(optional).

Alternatively, the vito. It will kill you. I partially blame it for the slow destruction of my gallbladder, but it is cheap and delicious.

It never fails to surprise me that, for all the high-tech approaches you could theoretically take, it is still sufficient to phish folks for credentials.

There's more you can do in the form of dynamic passwording to where for most systems a user doesn't even need a password, or the one used for access to systems is not the same they know.

Add in 2FA, a good host FW, and proper DLP controls and much can be prevented.

The failing is not the idiot, rather the company that doesn't account for the idiot being an idiot.

Well it's not just that you need these good policies but then you need unilateral buy-in across whatever the entity is. Even the NSA knew better and still worked in lazy little hackarounds and backdoors and they got burned for it. There will always be people who are too lazy or demands that are too pressing to do things the proper way 100% of the time.

I don't think that means anything. VA has open primaries. People cross party lines all the time. The story going into this was that Gillespie was going to win the Republican nomination in a landslide, so plenty of Republicans crossed over and voted in the Democratic primary instead. I know my mom, a Trump voter, did.

To what end? Both dems were pretty similar whereas I can think of a Republican she may have preferred to Gillespie

This is why you don't make promises that you can't keep to very desperate people. You may be able to trick them but you can't just say "see, things are all better now." They're not smart enough to know they were being conned but they are smart enough to know things are still poo poo.
