Tech bros reinvent broadcast TV.

This was a friend of mine, except it was cocaine.

Have we gotten that stupid?

Something something "these regulations are written in blood" anecdote something something.

Eh....

There's quite a bit of low tax rates mixed in with that ink. Politicians want to boast about low taxes, but that revenue needs to come from somewhere and now it's fines and fees.

To be fair, the original warcraft was supposed to be an rts using the Warhammer IP.

I'm also not vegetarian or vegan, but have transitioned to a much more plant based diet. The secret isn't finding meat replacements, it's just finding recipes that don't use meat. I mess around a lot with Indian, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. Chickpeas and lentils (most beans and legumes, actually) are my best friends. I've found that even though it's a grain, farro helps me feel full. I'm pretty sure you can make a lot of Mexican/Central American stuff without meat (but probably not without cheese/dairy), but I'm not positive because I'm actually not that big on black beans.

I wish Buffalo was closer in size to Cleveland or Pittsburg, but being within driving distance of Toronto and to a lesser extent NYC (on top of the aforementioned Cleveland and Pittsburg) is pretty friggin great.

Right. But based on context clues, it's implied that the full meaning of the post was "Volvo did something for the public good, therefor Volvo is good. Volvo is a Swedish company. Swedish companies are good. Sweden is in Europe. European countries are good. American countries are bad. Novo Nordisk did something bad. It must be an American company."

Admittedly, my mistake was not being more clear about the point of my response which is that geography is irrelevant - capitalism and all companies are evil (or at best, amoral).

Novo Nordisk is a Danish company, not American.

I'll answer your question if you answer mine.

Will I vote for Biden in 2024? Yeah.

Now, my question: why are you so quick to lick the sweaty taint of a slightly less evil, but still evil, party?

This is why Iive where the air hurts my face.

Nah, it was still the WW2 generation that fought for Civil rights. The Boomers were in elementary school in the 50s and only the oldest could even vote in 1963, 1964, and 1968.

But once all the Boomers could vote, who got elected? Reagan. So fuck them.

I once read an article that basically called the military a billion dollar vocational school program and it really shifted my perspective. Like I kinda don't give a shit about most people or why they join - maybe it's that chance at upward mobility, maybe it's the desire to serve a cause, maybe it's a desire to feel a part of something bigger, all of which are legit human needs and desires. As an idea, I'm kind of neutral leaning towards negative in the military. It's when I start looking at it in the broader context thag I get angry, and it's not necessarily at the rank and file, and sometimes not even the mid to high leadership. It's the presidents and the politicians and business people who lead the whole thing and play games with people's lives. I even have sympathy for the angry knuckle dragging meatheads because they just got duped, again, by the ruling class.

I mean, kudos to you for having the energy to get so far down the list of things that actually matter about climate change that you reach the one person and a few private jets section of the list, but I'd rather use that brain space to play a board game or something.

"properly managed" is carrying a whole lotta weight in that first sentence.

I once dropped a table in the production database. I did not replace it with the same table from staging.

On the bright side, we discovered our vendor wasn't doing daily backups.

As if Schumer wouldn't be wringing his hands about the whole thing and talking about institutions this and that.

Democratic senators are so lawful neutral it's disgusting.

I just... I can't bring myself to give a shit about Taylor Swift's airplanes when BP and Shell still exist and capitalism is still the dominant economic system.

Pretty sure "but the democratic party still fuckin sucks" covers all that.
