One thing I would like to say for people who aren't familiar and won't read the article:
Every federal agency has its own FOIA team, in this case the OPM FOIA team was slaughtered and flayed for sport. It's possible other agency's FOIA teams were removed, but also more likely that they still exist. This wasn't a blanket death of all FOIA, just the death of arguably the most important FOIA team
The dude showed up to Stuttgart to say hi to all the soldiers and got protested by middle schoolers and dependas on post.
He was also a whiny little bitch about Congress refusing to pay for his personal $150k home renovation, and went on a Twitter rant about it blaming woke libtards. Fucking disgrace of a veteran, soldiers hate this clown.
The most toxic leader, and he failed all the way up.
MFs say they want a new age rage against the machine but don't wanna go to Grimey Gabe's house out in the boonies, pack it in nut to butt in his garage, listen to hardcore bands, and get their head caved in during the most pit.
You gotta support the zoomer Zach De La Roches while they're small to see them transform into a full grown Tom Morrello
When BorderLands 3 came out, it had very little pre-order stock which got gobbled up by scalping bots world-wide in under 6 minutes after being made available.
I remember my buddy spent about $300 on a scalped Italian preorder bundle to get all the launch swag because he loved borderlands so much. Then the game dropped, we played together, and it was some DOGshit.
Homie was so pissed off that we ended up drinking and crying about his cheating girlfriend instead because that was more fun than playing BL3 lmao
I don't mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.
They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.
ICANN shouldn't get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.
If you want someone else's servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you're doing something illegal
I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server's IP. I don't want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.
Killing people in power who are overly greedy is a tradition, it's how civilizations advance! It doesn't matter if they are unarmed or not if they are destroying the lives of the people below them
It's been America's M.O. since the the '40s. Kill fascists in Germany and Japan, kill communists in Korea and Vietnam, kill the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, kill anyone who sounds like they rule with an iron fist. Deliver freedom to people! It's the most patriotic thing you can do: Kill people in power
Why should that time-honored tradition start for us overseas? Why not bring that tradition home?
Yeah kinda, my coworkers talk to ChatGPT like it actually knows stuff and use it to fix their broken terraform code.
It takes them a week or longer to get simple tickets done like this. One dude asked for my help last week, we actually LOOKED at the error codes and fixed his shit in about 15 minutes. Got his clusters up within an hour. Normally a week long ticket – crunched out in 60 minutes by hand.
It feels ridiculous because it's primarily senior tech bro engineer types who fumble their work with this awful tool.
Because a sink is an obvious place to wash your hands, but as a person I don't have an obvious gender. Giving pronouns isn't demanding that people comply with using them, it's for people who want to know.
Have you ever had a single real life interaction with someone who puts their pronouns up front and center? Have YOU ever seen someone talk about their pronouns outside of an internet ragebait setting?
I'm not trans. I was born with cock and balls. I had (He/Him) in my work emails until recently. I'm just built like a twink, even when I was a soldier and lifted every day. I've always looked extremely feminine, and get called ma'am by strangers all the time. People call me by whatever pronouns they want, mostly out of confusion. I'll always respond to them if they're not outright doing it to be a contrarian or a pussy-hearted whiny bitch because I look like a girl.
My "ability to enforce a personal preference is limited at best" is actually zero. When you give your preferred pronouns to someone you have no control over them using the right pronouns. You're completely reliant on the kindness of others to not be a piece of shit and make fun of you. That's not a reason to stop giving your pronouns out.
Veteran's data isn't special. Conservatives claim to love Veterans though, and all of this harm being caused to DEI and federal workers is being done directly to Veterans (among the many other much more vulnerable groups).
I imagine people won't shut the fuck up about veterans getting ass fucked by trump and musk right now because it's the best way to get anyone who supports trump and musk to see the harm they're causing. Your racist uncle bill won't give a shit how black, trans, or hispanic people are getting treated. But he might give a shit about the veterans
Hunger. What other form of economic system has kept people this fed? All communist countries have had famines mass killing their population.
The dust bowl ran a few thousand deaths in America compared to Mao's famine killing millions, Soviet famines killing millions every couple decades, the '90s North Korean famine killed God knows how many people. Americans get fed dogshit slop, but they don't starve.
