I'm pretty sure the "Car for programmers" is the 88' Toyota Tercel, or something similar with zero electronics aside from the radio.

Jill Stein at the 2024 Green Primaries?

I didn't realize Jill Stein lost the 2024 Democratic primary.

I often think the world does not need more people with MBA's.

They could have filibustered the Big Shitty Bill. -They refused to get rid of the filibuster the last time they had a chance, but the moment it could have really come in handy they act like it doesn't exist. -That's not incompetence. That's Liberal voters getting played.[edit] Or that's Liberal's tacit approval of the Big Shitty Bill.

I went to an interview for Life Insurance sales. once the initial interview was over I was sent into a conference room where other interviewees joined me and we were pitched the idea of becoming life insurance sales-people which required studying, testing, and licensing which they insisted we all payed for ourselves. After a 20-minute pitch by some d-bag with frosted tips said "Growing up I always dreamed of owning a Maserati, after my success joining this company I drive a Maserati!" The moment he was done talking I got up, turned left and went out the emergency exit. I still associate d-bags with Maserati driver and that was close to twenty years ago.

I've heard FIFA is no stranger to engaging in world-class levels of corruption. This is just the corrupt eating their own.

I'm curious what the twitter responses she got said.

That's an interesting excerpt. I always thought the proper response to an identified whatabout is to simply say "I asked you first." -That's assuming the opposite party refused to respond to the initial premise, argument, or question. I imagine if they did respond to the initial premise, argument, or question then asking whatabout... is just a standard form of discussion and debate, or so I'd think.

That's a good question, it makes me similarly think 'What happens to the social contract when a nation & government no longer provide security to it's own citizens?'

I don't disagree. Few people are better positioned to help make that a reality, however.

Twenty years ago she had Whoopi Goldberg's job on the TV women's talk-show, The View. During that time after a discussion about the (IIRC) Miss America Pageant she made some comments about what she thought of Donald Trump as a person. Like a canary in the coal mine he publicly lashed out at her and has never forgotten that slight. The only reason I remember this much is because that was when I first decided I adamantly disliked Donald Trump. His words at the time were the same level of viciousness and hostility that he is still known for today.

You're not wrong, but these days the number of members of the public that truly cares (to point of taking action) about privacy is an extreme minority.

"Only the good die young"

Even Jon Stewart said it this past Monday.

Since this news is coming from CBS i'd just as likely think it was price-gouging.

-Not that legality matters much these days, but is it even legal for a for-profit organization to use volunteer labor?

They think he's the best case scenario for us, not for them. I'm pretty sure the politicians at the federal level see themselves as part of an untouchable aristocracy
