  • This is what actual brandishing looks like

  • I have a few tiny guns like that. It would jam on the next shot from limp wristing it. She bought it because it was cute, has no idea how to use it.

    For the life of me I cannot see why training requirements violate the 2A.

  • Majority of CEOs Alarmed as AI Delivers No Financial Returns

    Jump

  • Yes. My last 3 were excellent businessmen and treated employees exceptionally well.

    The one before that was a buffoon, but that was a tiny 13-person company. Our main vendor said, "He's a man who has found great success despite himself."

  • Found her in the wild

  • I bought one! Not that brand, forget what I have, but I can't afford to replace the carpet so I need it.

  • Received this from our Microsoft reseller this morning

  • O365 is a little different because of the utility and backwards compatibility of Excel. My last shop was all Google, but I still had to buy Office for accounting and HR (for some reason).

    One can quickly learn their way around other office programs, but Excel is the killer app in office productivity.

  • Gov. Newsom denied entry in USA House due to pressure from White House

    Jump

  • Exactly one.

  • Trump drops tariff threats over Greenland after meeting with NATO chief.

    Jump

  • Same play, everytime isn't it?

    • Ridiculous threat.
    • A "deal" is made.
    • Capitulation.
    • "Look at what a great dealmaker I am!"

    If this is apparent to a dumbass like me, I cannot see why the media cannot simply say it out loud.

  • In his first admin, watching his tweets was as good as watching Fox News.

  • EU Parliament freezes US trade deal ratification after Trump's tariff threats over Greenland

    Jump

  • Vance will immediately catch all the blame for Trump's actions. I do not envy his upcoming role.

    The cultists are aware on some level that this is all madness, but they've committed, can't change their support.

    “It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

    None of them rallied for Vance, and they'll eat him alive the second he's sworn in. With Trump dead, "These OTHER people fooled me!"

  • EU Parliament freezes US trade deal ratification after Trump's tariff threats over Greenland

    Jump

  • It ALL changes when Trump dies, overnight. No cult survives the death of the leader. Vance steps in, he's immediately to blame for everything Trump did. Many of these fanatics are looking for an offramp from the madness, but they can't turn on Trump. (They don't know this, but they need a way to say they weren't wrong.)

    Or, look at it from another angle, you think MAGA gives two shits about Hegseth, Miller, Bondi, Vought, Kennedy, Noem, et. al.? LOL, man-on-the-street doesn't have a clue who those people are, but they'll turn into targets without Trump's cover.

    OR, think on this. Would Germany have continued down the Nazi path if Hitler had died early in the game? Hell, even if he died late in the game, think the people would have rallied behind Goebbels or Dönitz?

  • Anyone who's been around someone with a serious case of NPD, or a toddler, knows exactly how to play Trump. EU leaders tried some of those games, but now that his dementia is off the cliff, he's no longer predictable, time to cut the cord and get it over with.

    Easy to say, I know. I'm not responsible for my country's economy and citizen welfare.

  • Danish pension fund to sell $100 million in Treasurys, citing ‘poor’ U.S. government finances

    Jump

  • I have no investments. Cashed out what little I had over the past two years of unemployment.

    But you have a point in looking to opportunities. Always ways to profit from change and crisis. I'm more worried about the overall health of our individual investments. People usually aren't hustling their money around. Most simply contribute to their Roth or IRA or whatever and let the market play out over decades, just as we were taught.

  • Sigh

    Jump

  • MAGA is (mostly) neither hearing nor repeating this shit. Some have gone quiet in the face of the overwhelming bullshit, the rest post typical lib bashing memes on FB and X. The only people repeating Trump's actual talking points are right-wing influencers and politicians. Notice how those posts are in lock-step? They're getting orders/clues from somewhere.

    I'll never apologize for them, nor ever forget who they are\were, but you're giving the man-on-the-street way too much credit as to knowing what all Trump is speaking about.

    For example, my flag-flying MAGA neighbor likely doesn't know about any of this month's events, except in vague terms, stuff he saw on FB, from the aforementioned influencers.

    Maybe I'm nitpicking? Anyway, there's a wide gulf between "official" MAGA and the asshole on the corner.

  • ICE agents pull guns on police officers 'of color' and demand papers: MN chief

  • You and I wouldn't be able to use jargon or talk procedures. It would be immediately obvious we were faking. Come up on me and tell me you're in IT, see how that goes. :)

  • We still need people doing ICE's former job. Bet there's not a country on the planet that has zero internal immigration enforcement mechanisms.

  • You can buy everything they wear, even POLICE patches, on Amazon, eBay and Etsy. That's where I get my outdoor and gun gear.

  • How?! Every cop I've seen has a proper holster to prevent that. If you know how they work you might snatch it, but it would still be a bit awkward.

  • What a joke, can't believe people still voluntarily use this OS

  • What do you get when your search "terminal"? My home rig defaults to PowerShell, but I likely changed something years ago.

  • What a joke, can't believe people still voluntarily use this OS

    Jump

  • I'm a Windows sysadmin, this is the exact explanation. The only other thing, and this is going way out on a limb, is that terminal was installed through the Windows Store and something related is busted. I've never even heard of a company utilizing the Store for installations.

    Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them?
