I'm like, honey...the levels of incompetent fuckery are already way off the charts here, let's not over complicate it more than it already is. I mean, hiring Nigerians to allegedly shout MAGA poo poo are you loving kidding me.

Sanguinia posted:Its hard to blame Abrahms for not wanting to risk the GA Senate race, her power is in ascension despite her Gov loss, and another major defeat could shatter that. It would be too big a dice roll for me if I were in her shoes. Nobody ever gives any fucks about winnable races in MT. It used to be easier for a non-conservative candidate to win when our loving campaign finance laws still existed (gently caress YOU WILLIAM CLARK I PISS ON YOUR GRAVE), but now that the Koch Bros can do whatever they want, it's a complete fuckshow.

The subscription model is good for companies because it's steady income. My company doesn't sell boxes of stuff, but our product is subscription-based, and I had to sit thru a full day class on how it works. (Please don't ask me for more details, I don't care and didn't retain much.) It's the same with pre-orders, or when magazines start getting shaky and beg for subscribers, because they lose a cut to news stand sales. Plus you can take those subscriber numbers to the bank and get loans based off them. That said, nerd loot subscriptions are dumb. I bought in early on because I like shirts and tchotchkes, but then I walked into the office after getting my first box and realized every loving employee was wearing the same shirt and had the same poo poo on their desks. I also don't like every property out there, and now I have a pile of like Overwatch Funkos and Stranger Things toys and I can't even give them away. Useless.

Data Graham posted:All HTML renderers collapse multiple consecutive spaces by default, and have done so since 1994ish. Forums don’t have to do anything special to make that happen. This. A proper font spaces appropriately automatically. The real reason why you shouldn't bother double spacing after punctuation anymore is because automatic kearning looks nicer, so just let the machines do the labor for you. It took a long time to break my double-spacing habit, and I learned how to type before I could read because my dad has taught keyboarding since electric typewriters were a thing...so if I can unlearn deeply ingrained muscle memory, anyone can.

Grouchio posted:Trump just complimented AOC by nicknaming her Evita (Peron). I'm high, and it still doesn't make any sense. Like...Eva Peron was of Spanish descent. And a hero to her people. And was abused and possibly lobotomized by her husband before dying in pain and leaving a spectacular corpse, that eventually ended up in a cemetery in Milan for some reason, and finally got interred with her late husband's corpse in Spain in a super secure vault. Like...none of that has anything to do with AOC? I will admit, I am high, and also maybe not super familiar with AOC's overall record? Did she have a brush with cervical cancer I missed?

It ultimately added to her populist appeal, if anything. drat, nope, just some basic articles after I saw a YouTube doc about what happened to her corpse after she died. May have to add some to my reading list. Thanks!

Yeah, just like how Thomas Midgley drank tetraethyllead to own the libs. He had to take a year off work due to lead poisoning, but is responsible for leaded gasoline, so that's fine.

There was a significant amount of science saying that lead, especially aerosolized, would be horribly toxic to everything on earth. There were also equally viable, and much less toxic ways to improve octane, but Midgley was a dick and did what he wanted. This is the same dude who created and promoted Freon, too.

It's like how my ex says when he records DJ sets he's mixed on vinyl, he leaves some little mistakes in so you can tell it was a person mixing and not just a bunch of tracks thrown into Ableton. Except that's not, y'know...loving accounting. There's no happy little clouds in loving accounting.

How a Trillion Trees Triumphed Over Trump’s Climate Denialism https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/12/climate/trump-trees-climate-change.html Somehow, sucking up to Jared Kushner is something we're supposed to celebrate as a liberal win? While repeatedly acknowledging that none of what's being talked about has any proof of making substantive improvements to climate change? And people wonder why liberal leaders aren't trusted.

Almost every time I start a book or a podcast about someone who's done something society thinks is bonkers, like a public assassination or a serial killing spree, or some other thing society thinks is bonkers--pants crazy...if you look at their history, there's some kind of severe head injury. Like, I'm listening to a podcast doing a deep dive into Sirhan Sirhan and why he assassinated RFK, and two or three episodes in it's like, "Oh, and also, he wanted to be a jockey, until he got tossed off his horse in a race and suffered a severe head injury. Then he went and flailed at life for a while and a bunch of funky poo poo was excused until OMG he killed a presidential candidate and we don't know why!"

Otteration posted:Orlando Airport Chili's asks servers to come in and clean, then fires them Ugh. My company hires contractors for various functions, like provisioning laptops. Since we're based in San Francisco, one of those teams has been on notice to be prepped to work from home for a while. Corporate sent out emails right way making sure we knew all personnel, even contractors, would be able to get paid without risking their lives on public transit or being downtown. Next thing I know, my phone's getting blown up by contractors who have been told by their manager (who is at the contracting agency, not our side) that they have to go in. Like...we turned off their loving badges last week. THEY CAN'T GO IN. THEY RISK GETTING FINED IF THEY TRY. But if they don't go in, they don't get paid, says their manager I can't go into more detail than that, but this whole thing is an unbelievable fuckshow. I'm not even a manager, I'm just someone the lower level employees trust because I'm not an rear end in a top hat to them
