    Look how they massacred my boy!

  • Virginia is home to a SHIT ton of defense contractors. If it was broken down by county, the Northern Virginia and the eastern counties would probably be all professional services and the rest would be healthcare.

  • Pft. Rookie numbers. I've been leaving work 1-4 hours early as meetings allow.

  • FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges.

  • The sad reality is that good journalism is expensive but no one wants to pay for it.

    Even we, the readers who benefit from it, rarely want to actually pay for it.

  • this always works.

  • Sadly yes. Ever since he became a "philanthropist", people come out of the woodwork to say he's "one of the good ones". I have to remind them that he may be "good" now but he can still pay his fucking taxes and be better.

  • online marketplace

    Jump

  • Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.

    There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.

    One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was "tell them to serve me papers."

    Never heard from them again.

  • Rightwing influencers indignant over FBI claim that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list doesn’t exist

  • It's not incompetence.

    It's indignant.

    They know they are getting away with it and there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do to stop it. None of his followers are going to stop worshipping him as a result.

  • Trump Agriculture Chief Mocked for Suggesting Medicaid Recipients Could Replace Deported Farm Workers

  • Because they want to oppress people.

  • What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol

    Jump

  • Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn't turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.

    Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.

  • After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden

    Jump

  • They blame Obama on things that Trump has explicitly caused.

  • Ted Cruz ensured Trump spending bill slashed weather forecasting funding | Senator on vacation abroad while Texas was hit by deadly floods, a disaster worsened by forecasting cuts, critics say

    Jump

  • Be careful with that question because they will blame everything except themselves.

  • Future teachers in Oklahoma!

    Jump

  • Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.

    And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply "a warm body, but don't be woke".

    Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want "education" to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we'll pay the price in about 10 years.

  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

    Jump

  • No. That's the point of an open primary. You can vote in either party's primarily.

    I'm in a pretty red district. My primary vote is more powerful when voting Republican.

  • Trump has a solution

  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

    Jump

  • My state has open primaries and I vote in the Republican primary to fuck their shit up.

  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

  • The way I read this graph is that the upper portion are people they want to oppress and the lower portion are people that they preserve is oppressing them.

  • I sort of get it. There are more boomers and even Gen-X people who are choosing to own a dumb phone just because of the sheer enshittification of the Internet.

    I get it.

  • Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes

    Jump

  • I think what makes enshittification is "give users less and charge more". It's about returning shareholder value instead of customer value.

    Netflix is a great example. They have pulled back on content, made password sharing more challenging, and increased cost. They still report increases in paying users.

    They've done the math. They know they can take lost in users because they know they'll make up for it. That's the sad part in all of this.

  • This is a great compromise honestly. More OSS devs need to be paid for their work and if an anime character helps do that, I'm all for it.

  • Two months is what DeBeirs, the assholes who hold a monopoly on diamonds, arbitrarily told people to spend on a diamond.

    Ultimately it should be what makes both parties happy.
