Right? The blowback will be minimal though it makes you wonder what other kinds of initiatives they’re playing around with behind the scenes… It’s great they reversed it but why the fuck did they ever make it ok in the first place?!

Think i may have found my “retirement job” lol

Ah yes, Fetterman a genuine DINO. What a piece of shit that guy is

While having a buffer of some sort is good practice and certainly a recommended one, pricing and inflation have gone through the roof lately. I don’t know how that may affect one’s financial planning/preparation, esp in a case like this where there is not necessarily an end in sight.

I would be interested to see how many folks here have something like that and how long it’s able to sustain them. Will it be recovered in the aftermath? Trump does have an allergy to debt-paying…

Oh, I’ll get the popcorn going if that’s what’s happening

Happy to see the Cuomo campaign fail and waste all that $$$ in the process. Fuck him

Which is literally what they’re doing with AI. Massive water consumption, not to mention the massive amounts of power and silicon/tech involved. If one wanted to burn through our resources at record speed for no reason other than burning through our resources at record speed, it would seem as though they discovered a pretty efficient contender with AI.

Does this de-value money? When this much is in such a small amount of hands, what good is it even doing?

Are you sure Newsome won’t throw a couple snarky tweets out there? That’s about all they have to offer at this point 😐

ok boomer

Jesus Christ, i can’t believe McConnell is still alive, much less in charge of anything. I just assumed he died or fucked off by this point but we’re really getting every last drop out of that stain on society

Yikes. That’s kinda what I’ve been fearing this would really turn into: a chance to “legally” weaponize the chuds against their perceived enemies after years and years of propaganda. I can’t imagine the seething hatred they’ve managed to stoke in some of their most ardent supporters, and now they’re just finding ways to put guns in their hands and ship em off to ‘clean up the city/country/whatever the fuck’ or some such self-aggrandizing bullshit

Think about their families, not yours! 😡

Conservatives never really grow up

Love this for her 🫶

Though i still appreciate them explaining for those of us playing along at home 😅

These people are sociopaths. I have a small business where i deal directly with my customers from the first call till the job is done, and afterwards if needed as well. I have direct accountability for the work i do, and i wear it like a fucking badge because i take pride in my work. Accountability is something we’ve witnessed these assholes evade time and time again. Nobody ever pays the “iron price” for their actions when they’re rich and connected, and the very few that do only wind up doing so because they didn’t stay in their lane and pissed off someone even richer than they are. See Musk go around with his shenanigans before the '24 election and after, yet not a drop of accountability for him–even though he could absorb hundreds of billions in fines and still not give a single fuck. If the laws were actually enforced and all the loopholes were closed, none of these assholes would still be in power.

Narrator: they still used the machines

Anything he does from now on is an attempt to distract us from that uncharacteristically candid statement
