So? Most nurses wouldn’t make it as cops. They just don’t have the stomach to thrive in that racist and fascist environment, sooner or later they’d fuck up and show empathy, marking them as the future victims of an unfortunate crossfire.

/s just in case it’s not absolutely clear…

Let me take a page from Democratic advertising geniuses: hey, at least it’s not McDonald’s amirite

I don’t see any republican ever voting democrat, most of them seem too far gone into the echo chambers, which just keep growing and growing as they consolidate the media.

The only thing that may still break that path is the Iran war jacking gas prices so high that a substantial number of MAGAs abstain out of rage, otherwise goodbye America.

I’m wondering if poly market has odds for the US breaking up like the USSR in the next decade

Have you seen the price of gas?

Also, Iran has been striking at neighbouring countries, including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and not limited to the military. US owned, or related, assets are juicy targets.

Logistics in the whole region is a hot mess, and holding 2 racing events with the size and viewership of F1 would not only be impossible to organise, but more importantly, do you really want to host such events in the middle of an active war zone and tempt fate?

We need openWrt for TVs :(

Yep, I’m expecting they’ll report “sheets on the beds didn’t contain any visible blood or semen, so we have concluded no abuses could have happened here. In fact, all the toys we found indicate the kids were very happy and well treated”.

Are we gonna ignore the CDs and harddrives full of videos of famous and rich people fucking children?

"We seem to have misplaced the warrant for that, we’ll be back in a couple of hours it would be a shame if it somehow disappeared in the meantime…"

*after 3 years, when mandatory warranty expires in the EU.

That’s just par for the course, like with emails, slack messages etc, always assume they have access to everything.

I don’t get these companies that are trying to force AI down people’s throats.

I really like how mine is handling this. They gave us Gemini like 6 months ago, along with about a paragraph at most saying that we must stop using AI services from unvetted providers (GPT, etc) with company or customer data, because we needed to have legal agreements in place for that.

Nobody ever mentioned it again, at all. They probably provided us with that AI because we had people using all sorts of services and it was becoming a nightmare, so they signed some contract to cover data protection requirements and said “here, use this one if you must”.

Now it’s just there. There’s zero pressure to use it. Some Google guys wanted to come over to make some presentations, some people signed up for those but they were entirely optional.

You use it if you have a use case for it, or don’t, doesn’t matter. The only metrics are the one we’ve always had - deliver good work, on time. How you do that is up to you.

You guys still have hair?

Cat tax!

Hey Siri, go to sleep.

The answer is, and always has been, unions and strikes.

Do your part.

“And that’s when enshitification kicked in”

Can you ask for the Police chief data?

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

“So Donald Trump,” he added, “since I know you’re watching — I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.”

slow claps

It’s no fluke that he got elected… that was god tier.

That’s mighty pedantic, my dude. I had the same thought when reading the title, that “dead after being found” does carry some implication that they were alive at the time of finding.

But according to you, thinking that the title could have been written better makes us raging assholes that need to be challenged at every turn, lest we turn this internet into some place with, god forbid, proper grammar or something…?

They are built to very rigorous explosive engineering standards!
