I don’t think the Democrats can’t be reformed until the Republicans party is eliminated, or ranked choice voting is enacted nation-wide.
We can’t take risks on more progressive candidates when a loss results in a literal child-raping Nazi getting elected instead.
This isn’t a “no, you’re wrong” rebuke, but a “yes, but first…” agreement.
I’ve been thinking about it. It’s not good enough to say “Sorry, last guy was a dipshit.” Especially since the majority of people in the US think he is a dipshit right now.
I think we would need to remove said dipshit from power, and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Then remove anyone who knew he was a dipshit and had responsibility to say/do something about it, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law where appropriate. Then find anyone that supported the dipshit in exchange for favors from the dipshit, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
After all that, then we need to get laws in place that prevent this kind of dipshittery from happening again. Specifically, we need heavy penalties for election campaign finance and ethics violations. Ranked choice voting seems like a pretty good way to prevent us from having to a choose between the two least likeable assholes in the country to lead us. Big money needs to be out of politics, remove Citizens United, remove the ability of corporations to make campaign contributions, and maybe even make campaign finances be paid out of a government fund where each a candidate gets an equal amount.
Once we’ve removed the dipshits, and prevented the possibility of a dipshit getting elected again, the last ingredient for this redemption recipe is time. People aren’t just going to forget what has happened. We need to demonstrate consistent stability and sanity in both our foreign and domestic politics for at least a decade or two.
I don’t think all of this will happen TBH. A more realistic redemption is a complete restructure of the United States, and probably a separation into a few different countries, varying in sanity from a solarpunk future state to the religious-zealot-lead redneckistan.
Period tracking apps are selling the data of minors to states where abortion is illegal in order to to see if they become pregnant (or un-pregnant).
Need I go on?
…sells it’s to an even more unscrupulous asshole.
Laser does well for photos, but you gotta remember to get laser specific photo paper. The fuser can get hot enough to damage the gloss, or even melt it and smear it around in the printer.
Other than that, crisp photos, no bleed from the ink spread. Holds up well to light and moisture too.
The problem with canon, is they absolutely eat you alive when it comes to ink. Motherfuckers got light cyan, light magenta and gray/photo black.
Unless you go laser and then it’s just a rebadged HP.
Same. Biggest eye-opener for me. My printer was located and installed automatically during setup. Same for all my other devices. It just fucking worked, and I legit cried a bit because I’ve wasted a significant portion of my life dealing with printer and driver issues on windows.
USB, or networked?
I think you just start pitching people in, and the compression happens naturally as the people pile up.
Good news though. Without using any math or science, my AI determined that the people at the bottom will be under enough heat and pressure to become oil, or diamonds or both. Just put a spigot at the bottom so we don’t lose that economic value in the bodies of the people we’ve systematically crushed to fund our lavish extravagant lifestyle.
You say that, until your hammer data is used to detect improper use, which your employer’s insurance can use to deny a claim.
Or it can be used to void a warranty. Or it could detect G-forces of your commute to work and raise your car insurance rates for hard accelerations. Or a biometric sensor in the handle can tell your boss if you can work another 30 minutes before there is a financially significant risk of heatstroke.
You get the idea, that data is useless, until some hairbrained jackass packages it and sells it’s to an even more unscrupulous asshole.
Because “data is the new oil.”
Doesn’t matter what that data is, collect it first, and figure out how to sell it later.
Oh no. There are places where I’m not welcome. As a man, this deeply offends me.
Also, I’ve never received special treatment as a white male in the USA, so DEI just gives other people an advantage over me for no reason.
/s because… Well you know…
Shut the fuck up. Don’t give them any ideas!!!
Should be “Bee”.
Al-fa
Gulf
Niner
Null
Gotta love the fun pronunciations in the NATO phonetic.
Nine is evil because it’s a valid character. When you are using a phonetic alphabet, you don’t say “N as in Nine”. The whole point is to speed up communication over crappy connections. Adding “as in” afterwards defeats the purpose of having a standard.
As for L, I would go with “Letter”.
Got one behind me. Thank you for your service.
I use the semaphore code to shit-talk my boss to the fellow cubeslaves across the street from me.
My partner has a master’s in a STEM field and has been working full time since they graduated.
After 10+ years of payment on the IDR plan, they owe just slightly more than what they initially took out!
College for the vast majority of people (Millenials at least) was a scam built on lies, exploitative lending, and fear of social stigma. We aren’t just due loan forgiveness, we’re due compensation for long term damages in the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars.
Ridiculous. It doesn’t have a serial number…
A model number on the other hand…
It’s obviously chest hair.
