I would love to just use signal and nothing else, but I would loose contact to most of my friends and family.

I tried to convince them, without success.

It’s not enough, but better than nothing. The minimum one could do. And now he will neither follow this or any other agreement against climate change.

Should have gotten a cane and tell her it’s not lupus

Damn, you’re thirsty 😁 But as a chubby guy with a beard I thank you for making my day!

How are you doing wiggles eyebrows?

You, my friend, have to read up on super PACs

Oh, we could probably create giant trees with selective breeding and gene editing. But those trees would still need hundreds of years to grow (and that’s a good thing, since it would store CO2 while growing) and if there are problems with the gene editing we would only notice after decades.

I would be much less against pro-life if the movement would focus on better care for would-be-mothers, easier adoption and better oversight, financial support for girls who give up their children, increasing adoption numbers, better sex ed, etc. instead of banning abortions.

They are exclusively focusing on the worst way to reduce abortions.

Everybody wants to rule the world in my ass

I miss LAN parties… Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, CS, Diablo, Alien vs Predator 2, Quake and the successors of those games. Good times. Online is nice and all, but nothing compares to playing the night away with friends in one room

This opening move is called “The Russian Statesman”. Very traditional.

Never experienced something like that, especially with metal fans who - in my opinion - are some of the most welcoming bunch.

Perhaps it’s different in the US, but here in Germany that scenario seems unlikely.

Better then Trump is a low bar and you know it.

No one sane said that he was a bad president (although he could have been a lot better) just that he is too old for the job.

I would say that anyone younger and progressive would do better than him.

Bernie would have won (according to polls) if the DNC hadn’t sabotaged him at every turn. Too polarizing? No, just too left for the Democrats.

Oh yes. The company where I work at does these performance reviews: doing 100% gives you a ‘C’ (as a grade). I do everything that is expected from me without anything to complain about? Yeah, that’s not good enough.

Fuck that.

There is the silent complaint that you could do more… Give up your spare time for your work. Work yourself tired and burn out for your company! That’s what they want to see.

I’m looking for a new job while I still work there.

Depends on the job, but I think more like 5 figures. Still enough to live comfortably, but of course not enough for these greedy fucks. The reason so many are millionaires is not their salaries.

AI is a tool that makes us X% more productive (X is still debatable and bound to change)

But instead of making our job X% easier or let us earn X% more, work X% less, corporations are hellbent to fire X% of the workforce because that makes the most money.

Open source? Not the best currently available models.

As if that wasn’t what they were aiming for the whole time.
