  • Totally agree. Folks talking about health care is understandable to explain to the public, but the executive is just spending and “impounding” money any fucking way Trump wants right now and that runs counter to the constitutional order.

    It may be an unpopular position if Repubs eventually cave on health care (at least on paper) but I think the Democrats should hold out for some type of actionable promise from the executive to return to the constitutional order, or force Repubs to nuke the filibuster and completely own this pile of shit.

    What good is a budget if the executive can use it as toilet paper?

  • I get no longer supporting products, but bricking them?

    I think what’s happening in the background here is these “Internet of Trash” devices hook to cloud infrastructure for which the business no longer wants to pay.

    If they were interested in actually building something useful, they would open up their API layers and add a way to link them to different services. But since they don’t give a fuck about you as a customer, they plan poorly as a business, and they have no ability to produce well-engineered software, instead they code everything so that it is hopelessly coupled (probably through hard-coded things up to and including certificates) with specific garbage they made, make it impossible to move to anything else, and then brick your shit.


  • See, this is where you misunderstand what a loser is.

    A loser isn’t someone that lost something or failed at something. Most people fail at things in life, it’s crucial to growth, and everyone loses things eventually…that’s just life.

    Trump isn’t a loser in this case because he didn’t win the prize. He’s a loser because of how desperately and embarrassingly he campaigned to get it in the first place. That’s biggest loser behavior.

    Another great example of how Trump is the biggest loser is how he has all of the world leaders over for an event to the white house, and he shows off his closet full of red baseball caps.

    The dude reaches new depths of loserdom daily.
