100%.

Fuck this administration, I hope they burn in the hell they believe in. I hope they all get cancer.

I try my best to find redeeming qualities in everyone, but there is none to be found in them.

Hopefully the homicide rate against ICE staff goes up soon though.

True story. I started studying for a final basically the night before the final, but quickly realized I just wanted to play video games instead.

So I spent an hour and a half pulling up all my previous scores in the class, including two copies of the syllabus from two places just to be sure. I made a spreadsheet (in OpenOffice at the time, haha) laying out the scores and weighting them a few different ways per interpretation of the syllabi.

All models basically indicated I could skip the final and sleep in and, worst case, still pass the class by something like 1.2%. I checked, double checked, triple checked my figures.

…and then I spent the night playing video games and purposely didn’t set an alarm the next day.

I was very relieved to have passed the class by the 1.2%.

I was not a good student. I do not advise this. I think I graduated by like 0.1 above the minimum required GPA.

Well my not being white and owing back taxes glory days might be over…darn

Same, and for every voter they might actually lose they’ll replace it with heavier gerrymandering and kicking opposing voters off rolls.

I don’t disagree with the necessity of a class war.

But when people like this inhibit progress towards a class war, they will be removed as a hurdle and I will absolutely be happy about it. There is nothing wrong with that.

It isn’t about disagreeing politically, I disagree with friends of mine politically. It’s about the fact that they go out of their way to hurt others and cause suffering, and they think it’s fine.

I’m not OK with that because I’m a human being that cares - sorry you don’t understand that.

I grew up with people saying, “happy as a frog on a log” or something.

Ah, yes, let’s go with that.

No, it isn’t.

As someone who games banks as best I can this would absolutely not work.

Dang, that timeline sounds great

Afraid of quitting not so much, but they are underpaid for their skills. At least for what they need the person was more skilled than me, but being paid ~$40k less. So…yeah…

Yeah, but just think, the wife’s various MLMs she keeps trying really help the community…

And the husband’s BBQ skills really help the neighborhood…

A recent job I had, Product kept saying this over 2ish years…

…at the end of the stint and with ~2 weeks until launch, they laid off all but one person on the team (some 12 engineers or so, myself included).

I often wonder how much shit that person is wading through leading up to launch and post-launch fighting fires.

From another article…

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7%, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8%, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9%, the documents show.

So, yeah, this will not end well for anyone except billionaires who we, the people, should be at war with.

I really hope these people I knew of who purposely moved to Texas to support Texas politics lost their home. 🤞

Is that mean of me? No, these people constantly voted for things that hurt or even killed people around me. They pushed beliefs that actively harm other people. I would have zero remorse if my wishful thinking came true.

As for what we do next, I wish my state would stop paying federal taxes.

I know this is the case in Oregon (where I live), but is it true in every state?

As someone who frequents a dive bar in a red area, yes, this is exactly the things they say.
