Zangief, there’s just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

I am just waiting for him to blurt out that he did this new thing called a PET scan, can you believe it? A scan for your pets. Nobody ever heard about this thing before, but he passed it with flying colors.

I had a friend who was married to a veteranarian who worked with exotic animals. They were constantly fostering bird rescues. He told me once he fell asleep on the couch and woke up as a parrot was reaching for his glasses. He said he knew this bird wouldn’t intentionally hurt him but seeing a 4-year-old child with a can opener on its face reaching for him was pretty scary.

I had a coworker who would frequently say “Not to be pendantic…” and I honestly could not tell if he was just fucking with me.

This is a memo, not a law. It will never make it before a judge. Targeted groups won’t be charged, they will instead be detained, possibly indefinitely, but certainly long enough to fuck them up. They will also use this memo to monitor communications, pull financial records and otherwise harass people. They will use the label to force financial institutions to freeze assets.

But they won’t charge you.

I dunno, if he’s a secret fascist he’s been playing the really long game.

I use Garuda for gaming, but most would likely recommend Bazzite.

It would be like the one upside of a TBI.

But really, due where I was in life when I played it and how much it helped me process things, I’m not sure I would give up the experience I already had.

He just wants people to talk about this instead of how 7 million Americans spent one of their days off to tell this guy to go fuck himself.

We were led in a rousing song of “If you’re not in the Epstein files clap your hands!”

These charges will go nowhere. This is just so Trump can characterize his enemies as criminals.

Trump does love stiffing people who work for him.

We had a fundamental disagreement regarding the role of technology in business operations. In my view, technological change in an enterprise exists in tension between the business desiring a solution that perfectly fits their process and the flexibility of a technology package to approximate the business requirements in a cost-effective way. Ideally, technology should fade into the background so that you don’t even notice or think about it as it facilitates your work.

Microsoft seemingly disagrees.

My specialty is telephony, a space that Microsoft has only recently ventured into with a competitive and cost-effective, if feature-poor, offering in Teams. Telephony is a complex topic and the way telephones are used in business today is varied from people who barely use their phone (but want it when they need it), to people who depend on specific telephony functionality to do their work.

The meeting I had was in a beta-user group for new tech in that space, it was me and about 40 other admins from a variety of large businesses and a team-lead in Microsoft product house. Basically, it was a group of customers becoming increasingly exasperated at the arrogant ignorance of someone in charge of developing telephone technology at Microsoft who didn’t only have limited experience with enterprise-level telephony, but insisted that business units conform their processes to fit what Microsoft was willing to develop, and I want to emphasize here, that the audience was more than willing to meet the vendor halfway here, it was Microsoft insisting that people didn’t really need basic things like busy-indicators.

I spent about an hour getting more and more angry to the point where I just wanted to get rid of everything Microsoft, but I couldn’t torpedo Teams at work, so I went home and installed Mint on all my PCs (and later switched to Garuda).

I had a meeting at work with a product team lead at Microsoft. Went home and installed Linux that evening.

Of course a pest control salesman would look at natural pest control as a pest.

I am starting to think he has already received a terminal diagnosis of some kind and we’re just seeing him moving through various stages of his narcissistic personality trying to deal with it. His obsession with stopping a war of some kind (to try to get into heaven), his posting of the magic cure-all beds video. He knows his time is short and is desperate to find a loophole to immortality either through science or religion. His energy has been dropping precipitously and his ramblings are more incoherent than usual.

This could all just be wishful thinking on my part though. His death through natural causes may be a way out of this nightmare, or at least slow things down enough for a chance at recovery.

I think the cult just likes that he allows them to be their worst selves. After being told for years that they are bad for being racist, sexist bigots finally some powerful person who is all those things becomes president and so they feel justified in being the awful humans they are.

Strong talk from someone who fits all the criteria for an antichrist. Dear Mr. President, how’s your pedo spiritual advisor doing? Called him yet? Drafting a pardon for your fellow child molester?

He is both. His rise and subsequent tyranny are the result of a decades-long plan by autocratic moneyed interests, but the rapid dissolution of political norms was very much his doing.

SMS/MMS and the PSTN are completely compromised by multiple governments. Not saying that makes smartphones any better, just be aware.
