Raising Gaston over here, damn.

This means nothing. Let me know when is phylactery is destroyed.

How are you supposed to tell European countries apart when 99% of them look like amorphous blobs?

You aren’t?

Reece’s pieces, m&m’s, and Skittles mixed in an unmarked bowl.

Oh no I assure you, this was an executive decision. The VP of manufacturing, specifically.

We don’t let Interns make purchase orders at all, let alone call shots like that. Especially not for big ticket items like these weldments.

Oh I feel this in my soul. Recently my company was going to buy some very important welded structures, and instead of working with the American company that we promised the business to, one executive went over everyone’s heads to buy these from the offshore team, despite protests from literally everyone.

They came in today each one is $100k worth of scrap metal. Absolutely unsalvageable pieces of shit. Truly a colossal level of fuckup.

Will the execs learn? Probably not.

Of course it’s 3/10. 33% of the country think that he was sent by God. 1/3 of the country are mindlessly loyal Trumpers.

Pretty much any poll regarding Trump’s policies on anything shows this ~33% number.

1000%. Almost nothing else has stayed as popular and as relevant for as long as Minecraft. Truly one of the GOATs.

Yeah. What he did to the Sand People was a hate crime.

I have accounts on both. Sh.itjust.works has a piracy community that .world blocks and is still federated with Hexbear for some reason. .world has old.lemmy.world if you liked the old reddit UI.

Otherwise, not that different.

None of us are going to get to vote anymore

Guys, I know we all mean well, but no amount of activism and voting is going to make a difference anymore. They will suspend the Constitution and ensure we never have elections again. The Democratic experiment is over and we can’t keep thinking that we’ll be able to vote it out.

If you want to help, try and do it tangibly. Organize underground support networks for your queer and minority friends, seek or create covert resistance orgs, and have a realistic plan for pogroms.

Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

Just tilt the seat back a bit more?

I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

I used to work in an Engineering role in the Detroit auto industry. I think this is a good thing. The big three have been stagnantly focused on building their cars to be as cheap and shitty as possible for decades. Over bloated and perpetually behind the curve.

Maybe this will light a fire under their asses and motivate them to invest in EVs properly and improve their quality.

Probably not though.

Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.

If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.

Nothing is ever theft proof, but there’s lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.
