the rank and file was never those guys, in 1960 there were like two specific guys who got appointed party spokesmen because they were the only ones with less than 75% farm animal DNA, and now they're dead

problem is when you get old and start getting fingers growing on your back
you're gonna have to start fucking some kids pronto or you're goin to the big house
these look amazing but yeah RIP to all your stripe-illustrating joints
it's 2025, the median biker is a 63-year-old used car salesman from Skokie with an entire room dedicated to his collection of fake SS daggers
maybe it's not about appealing to voters, it's about appealing to the guys who actually call the shots in the party
dissertation's picking a number on GA that went up this month and taking a screenshot of it
you have trapped them in the Phantom Zone, obviously
you gotta watch out for the lat addicts man those dudes are animals, anything for a fix
look there'd gotta be SOME scientific explanation why my goldendoodle that I keep in the yard 16 hours a day to bark and bark and bark and bark is acting socially maladjusted
definitely a guy who's looking to not get noticed
as of last year 100% of trump supporters I talked to would turn every conversation to their fantasies about some postapocalyptic living off the land/holy war scenario so I look forward to seeing what happens when the Amazon truck stops comin
thr feds sure as shit aren't trying to *outcompete* china on either of those fronts, batteries are illegal wokeness and intel is up for slaughter. I suppose if it occurs to them at some point that a Chinese hardware monopoly would be bad we'll start seeing a whole lot more talk about nuking Changxin
there might be guys who similarly love rail networks but hate trains out there making little BDSM model railways and fuming to themselves about *fucking* diesel engines, but you wouldn't hear about em until they make head of the transit department and suddenly your whole town is six-lane stroads
some dorks are socially awkward because they just do better with and prefer to spend their time on things that aren't social pecking order shit, some are awkward because they're utterly consumed by it but despise other people and are despised in turn
"everything you seem to support more than rhetorically is extremely rightwing and your leaders are all reactionary snakes" is, like, the oldest leftwing critique of American liberalism. maybe it's just correct!
I couldn't tell you clearly what things were like before the Carter administration, but certainly at no point since has handwringing about how a liberal administration is going too far left stopped being the bread and butter of liberal punditry.
are we talking about whether they're in the liberal mainstream or whether they suck shit; I feel like there's a general consensus on the latter around here.
they vote Democrat and they hang out with the NPR-listenin' Hamilton-lovin' liberal set, who happily embraces them. this is like protesting that the guys who voted Trump aren't real Republicans because they don't share much with the party of Lincoln
yes, and?
I want these real bad but am out of town all through SPX, will there be another way to get hold of em later?
are you yes-anding me Kathy Catmull
ok well I grew up in a place where they'd teach sixth graders about Lee's honor and dignity in the War of Northern Aggression and from actual experience the guys who come out repeating that shit deserve no sympathy or excuses; it is a choice they made for the most venal reasons imaginable. your move
there's a legitimate debate to be had on whether it's possible to have an ordered civilization without dealing with the South like Amalric dealt with the Albigensians but this one appears to be about the legality of posting that bugs bunny sawing off Florida meme
you never know what ideas you're going to come back with from the idea space
oops rate just tripled, sorry
dude straight up told you he's not sentient idk what you're trying to prove
You gotta give the man credit, none of his predecessors ever thought to implement their own Morgenthau plan before even trying to invade everywhere and getting crushed militarily. That's some real forward thinking
people used to think that but it turns out Marvel movies are the pinnacle of art by the objective quality metric of profitability, and you'll be forced to agree once all the other movies have been corrected to also be Marvel movies
I don't think you understand that these guys are high-powered visionaries uploading the first picture that matches a keyword and moving on to their next great achievement, interpreting and understanding things is for the little people (elves)
no sell!!! only buy
nah we've got til February easy before the US enters its warring kingdoms period
maybe he just likes molesting children OP
yeah but they don't keep it up, it's about as impressive a veblen good as a dead white tiger rotting under a pile of KFC wrappers in your living room
you gotta take out Zoom at the same time or the curse will revive
they'll give it to you for a couple thou if you agree to take Copilot with it
typically where it ends up is a bunch of low-skill sub-minimum wage labor churning out vast amounts of terrible quality product that technically qualifies as the thing it says it is, while quality work becomes an increasingly rarefied luxury item few can make and few can afford
that's exactly what deskilling is in most cases. you still need a person with fairly developed field knowledge but now "the machine does all the work" so now bosses expect you to work for half the pay or doing the work of 3 former employees (plus, usually, maintaining the machine)
prepare to be
it is a legitimately miraculous technology to people whose entire job is sending emails nobody reads, and avoiding reading their own emails, with occasional breaks for golf. if it seems useless outside that domain clearly it's because everyone else is so much dumber and lazier than the email guys
it's like you don't even want to be a team player
feeling a lot less trust in any institution that'd employ you because this is the stuff of every freshman who's still unshakeably confident in the objective logical genius of whatever pops into his head because he's never read all the way through a book that wasn't about wizards before
i thought it was only a white diap out the window that signified the conclave has chosen a new President; what's a black one mean
you think you can hide from the truth forever, a fool's dream
nah they're your bosses lmao
and why wouldn't they want help from the simpering creeps who love smashing all their shit and treating them like vermin must just be spiteful
tbh all the ones I've got access to are having the time of their lives watching their neighbors get got one by one right up until their number comes up, should I be imagining some Baileys who are feeling all sad about it instead or something
ok if by what the US stands for you meant "holding steady as merely the ninth or tenth most fucked-up place on earth" and not all the shining city on a hill crap then I wildly misinterpreted you, I apologize
has anyone outside the US talked about "what it stood for" since, at the absolute latest possible date, mid-2003
nah dude you're trying to conjure up a red string wall of how everything is puppeted by the one clown whose name you know, who got booted out by much nastier tech nazis for being an ineffectual boob before they even settled on calling it Paypal, without even bothering dream up actual connections
there's a hell of a lot more than one nazi in tech
I don't understand how Chotiner does it, the simple fact you're getting interviewed by him is a sign you've made some terrible decisions second MAYBE to Chris Hansen. but no these guys all just immediately start spitting out the most psycho shit you've ever heard like it's innately reasonable
everyone kept talking about how the US was constantly invading the middle east for oil, no fool we do it for love of the game. china can have whatever dumb power source you get by not bombing Yemen
the only way to break the curse is to get old enough that you get entrenched in fucked-up workflows of your own, which is why I'm transferring between four separate programs to vectorize an image every day and definitely no dumber reason
there is no central database in the US lol there's a ton of little redundant departmental ones, some personal records to prove you're a citizen or legal resident that may well still be stored on paper in a filing cabinet somewhere, but not showing up right in any one is the norm and what gets you
to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s love heart I stab at thee; for love hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee
'indie' doesn't mean much unless you have enough capital to be an owner and don't really need the job anyway
I have a really good feeling about this whole raid :)
just glanced at a triangle. the hypotenuse was 5, again. yawn.
that one's true but just for me. someday I'm gonna really need to do some egghead shit and it's gonna be like Goku taking off his weighted boots
less concerned that this guy might get anywhere in a primary than that some dope might give him a baby to kiss and he'll bite into it like a big ol apple
feels increasingly like it
I'm dumb as fuck, I vote, and I'll take ten thousand obnoxiously earnest campus activists using ten-dollar words you need a few years of Latin to follow while sporting the dumbest haircuts imaginable over one more greasy salesman who talks like I'm too stupid to get that he's doing a short con
What I'm getting out of what I can find is that people totally can and do manufacture them in the US, just at a higher price point than a big established Chinese operation. It's not my specialty but I can get a quote from some guys in town if I get a general idea of volume and budget.
the robot summary cites Threads and Reddit discussions where they point out that this isn't really the case. I wouldn't want a nickel/chromium plating plant in my backyard but that's not necessary for any part of the process, at a guess they're talking about trying to keep steel shiny on the cheap
...a stamp? nothing in, say, this video isn't going on in American factories in every state every day. Hell if people are willing to settle for a clay base instead of metal I could start turning em out in my garage this afternoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=10vh...
much like exterminating Palestine they'll blather all day about the silent majority and how it's all secretly an 11-dimensional chess move but it is fundamentally just the thing they want, that they're willing to fight and take risks for, in a way nothing in the nominal platform is
theoretically you could domestically produce a lot of that stuff but you'd have to be completely insane to put money into America heavy industry rn when in a month wacky racist grandpa is gonna take another fun spin of the ol' policy wheel and destroy your investment
yeah there's no mass-produced product that doesn't depend on some precursor or tooling made overseas, everyone big enough to do it is just sticking with the import and passing the cost on to customers, everyone not big enough is just folding
huh, could you point me to those regulations? I know a couple of small-scale but very definitely US-based cloisonné manufacturers and am wondering if there's someone specific to what people want out of pins that I'm missing or they're poised to suddenly become very large cloisonné manufacturers
that picture is misleading though it's all way grayer in person
you could just write your own ending if that's what you want tho. nobody can stop you AO3 is free, and it'd be a thousand times better than whatever the fuck the guys in the article are doing
issue an official statement saying you kids pipe down or I'll give the series to that Dune sequel guy who seems to give people psychic damage
when does it stop being a hole and start being a cave, it's definitely not a cavern
get mistaken for a homeless guy's tent by your own thugs Newsom
did you also ever get the licensed MBTI specialist in to cast everyone's horoscopes, to be unsubtly used to lump employees into good groups and bad groups many career options in playing Rasputin to some brainless department VP who's never done a job other than being VP
what on earth no this was exactly literally what he campaigned on. Trump is the first president in our lifetimes whose policy in office is pretty much exactly what he promised on the campaign trail
not even political expediency. all the evidence was showing that that was actively hurting them, they were doing this whole preemptive creepy "arabs in swing states deserve Trump" schtick! They just wanted Gaza wiped out!
just set up a cardboard New York in central park and let him be mayor of that
it's wet
I'd call that "creating a locked-in market" but it's not clear these guys have 5 years of runway for their first generation of addicts to start paying off
when your mom tells you you've got orbital beam cannons at home
it was the most dismal, all-possibility-has-been-foreclosed exhibit I've ever seen and I'm sure nobody in the White House went cause they woulda had their minds blown by it. in the future you may see more boring movies from the same franchises you already know.
the Smithsonian did host a futures exhibit a little while ago! it was a bunch of brands, a giant quadcopter that didn't work but you might totally ride around in one day, and some Avengers for some reason?
the only milieu in which "atheist who's way too into Warhammer" is the least noxious possibility
idk is there really any risk they're going to shut up about sedevacantism long enough for anyone to confuse them for someone normal
yeah i get you they're vultures who prey on situations like that, somewhere between the pawn shop and the mafia
Paypal isn't a bank subject to regulation for special secret reasons and are therefore entirely within their rights to do shit like just take your money because they feel the vibe's off, I keep forgetting there's people out there who don't know the score from them doing exactly that in like 2011
with no more internets to consume it continues to reprocess its own output and descends into indecipherable gobbledygook; AI-addict execs who can no longer perform basic cognition without it begin to manifest signs of techno-dementia; everyone keeps doing whatever insane shit they say anyway
I miss their early ads (banned now) where you are invited to delight in the suffering of a hateful chicken
you want to build it a little ways out ideally, so you can still work on your tan and the parts don't get too hot
ok but has anyone *tried* asking ChatGPT how to convert a dozen Earths worth of mass into ultralight solar panels? it's not as intimidating as you think I'm just waiting on Amazon for torx screwdriver
whoa AI art that is actually on some level art, don't see a lot of that these days
trump absolutely has an hp bar that gets lowered by posting it's just not with this smarmy Saturday Night Live reject shit. you gotta wormtongue catturd2 that Saudi Arabia's bought up all the McRibs so there won't be any more and wait for him to start a war
i get calls from Yelp salesdrones on the regular where they try to pitch me on a $300/mo ad spend that might get as many as 20 views and a .01-.001% conversion rate, and those are the numbers they're *telling* people
we should probably be thanking this guy for his service
we had a stand of em the previous occupant had let grow up right against the house, five (or was it six?) years of cutting and poisoning in and the main plant has finally stopped growing back. now there's just dozens of saplings every spring that'll be the same if we don't get em in the first year
our entire economy hinges on the idea that people do mindlessly engage with spam, to the tune of trillions of dollars. this was the whole FAANG revenue model even before all the AI shit it's literally all we as Americans have. the minute people stop believing in it we're goin back to the bronze age
it'll be back they always come back
hmu if you decide to go all Dard Hunter and need a printing press lol
