He is still in quite a bit of legal jeopardy. I highly doubt he would drop out knowing that some lawsuits have only been held at bay due to the position of power a presidential candidate and the godhead of a cult has.

I think the postmaster general is appointed? De Joy needs to fucking go.

To be fair, the RNC normally just talks to a couple rich assholes and a bunch of preachers and sits back while tv, radio and church does a bunch of fear mongering on their behalf. They might not have a great take on real grassroots numbers needed.

I kind of figured it was implied but eh. Some things don’t land.

You have a point, but when I was a kid we at least made sure the slang came from black people first. I don’t think anything good can come from white kids out there making up words.

The classic sloppy reporting tactic of “dozens”. Somewhere between 1.5 and 33.3 dozen I guess?

Some of these articles don’t seem to get it. Another Trump term potentially removes all rights for many of us. Trans people won’t have to worry about healthcare, bigotry, bathrooms, or anything else that they’re facing. They will have to hide who they are or risk being rounded up or killed. It will be open season on women, liberals, feminists, atheists, satanists, muslims, people with dark skin or foreign sounding names. Rights don’t matter in a dictatorship. There’s only fighting or submitting.

I’m not sure it’s going to be that. That was the model for the last wave of tech advancement layoffs and job replacements. This one is going to be so much dumber.

It’s no secret that most companies are stagnant or losing money right now across the board. For many reasons, disposable income is way down, COVID mentality change (people decided they wanted to live instead of just consume), and products have just been getting worse. So, CEOs are using AI to replace jobs that AI cannot yet replace. It immediately makes their bottom line look better for investors while doing nothing useful. This will bite them in the ass soon but they’ll say AI was oversold and it’s not their fault. Meanwhile, they look like the nothing they’re doing to improve their company is working and will survive another day.

Out of Sight being the best one.

Do they seriously think an extremely liberal, gay as hell power bottom cannot out-fart almost anyone on the planet?

These were all good. This one made me laugh.

No wait. It’s got to be your bull.

Not when it’s done badly. I believe there was one on the front page of Lemmy just this morning.

Considering how they’ve exchanged a family dynamic for a corrupt corporate one, they probably just communicate in depositions.

The trick is waiting for Boomers to die. This is where your nursing skills can really pay off…

I get that. But this is for kiln dried wood. And this particular issue I’m bitching about isn’t about net loss. It’s selling wood using an internally useful measuring system instead of how the consumer would actually think about it. It’s adding needless complexity, in my mind, when there’s enough factors to consider.

I agree with this. Use whatever system you need or want internally, but there’s no reason to force whatever archaic or industry system onto a consumer. Logcutters also use a 1"=1/4 system and that is how they sell wood. A piece of wood that is 2" thick is sold as 8/4. Not 2". I get that they have their system but it seems dickish to force the consumer to use that system. There could be a good argument for it, but I’ve not heard one beyond “what, can’t you do math?”

My Unraid NAS and media server is called Madmartigan. The Proxmox server running Home Assistant, second Pihole instance and my bookmark manager and such is called Willow. My raspberry pi that I use for testing and such is called Brownie.

Well that’s fucking terrifying.

It’s a tough game out there. Many of the problems are so severe and harmful that you can’t really joke about them. Biden is technically the power in the room but he’s so old that it’s close to punching down to joke about him. Seemingly, every single political body has been captured by fascists and is riding roughshod over Poe’s Law. Using satire is just giving them new ideas.
