@Aristos_Revenge Until I heard the pretty and young HR rep drop an N-bomb I kept my opinions real close to the chest. Her EMT husband got stabbed with a screwdriver after narcanning some tweaker and it broke her. Office sounds like an alt-right group chat nowadays.

@vmfunc You can't even sweep floors at my job without being a US National because somewhere in the 80k sq ft building controlled parts are being manufactured. This idea foreign nationals should have open access to literally nation-changing technology is borderline retarded.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. the US government just made it illegal for anthropic's own employees to use the model THEY BUILT. wrong passport? banned from talking to the computer program you made. not china. not adversary export. the researchers. in san francisco. WHAT ARE WE DOING

@Yordanarchist @TheSongofDaemin @politicalmath @reddit_lies He's became a punchline because that was the last time the left actually felt powerful and in control, they're all recreating that feeling daily via memes because they've lost most of their institutional and moral power and his is the only button that still brings reaction.

@TheSongofDaemin @politicalmath @reddit_lies Is that true tho? Kirk has mostly become a joke and a meme. Not even among the left, but just among normies. You see all of the edits of him. He's become a punchline, not a martyr.

One of my dangerous realizations from Charlie Kirk's assassination is that assassinations work The left mocks the "great man" theory but it is basically true. If you kill a uniquely powerful or effective person, you can decapitate a movement Ken wants his opponents decapitated. He is eager for someone to "misunderstand" his words and take inspiration from his desires and shed blood. There isn't really a good solution to this outside of stripping him of his license to practice law for this encouragement of murder. But most of his colleagues agree with him because every institution is hopelessly corrupt.

@hyugalegends @goodlife5513 @truthboldonx @TheBrancaShow It's literally Karmello Anthony. Middle class, good income, two parent household. His dad was a finance manager and he stabbed a kid in the heart.

@goodlife5513 @truthboldonx @TheBrancaShow You’ll never guess who those “wealthy blacks” are? Use your IQ and critical thinking skills if you even have any. Are these black people who built their wealth from the ground up or rappers who randomly got rich.

Fully ONE-THIRD of male American blacks have FELONY convictions. ONE-THIRD.

@Howlingmutant0 This dude I work with mixes up 'specifically' with 'pacifically' all the time and it makes me laugh way harder than it should and then he gets very angry at me. "I pacifically asked you to do this" "I need you to be more pacific!"

The Spotify AI dj is really an impressive piece of software because it will randomly mispronounce relatively easy words, making you feel like you’re having a conversation with an actual black guy

@b3rryshortc4k3 @pls_dont_lie Or he already has a hot girlfriend.

@pls_dont_lie Or they're delusional

It's this fantasy of "oh this guy is unattractive so he probably gets no female attention and therefore he'll see me as a goddess and his saviour and he will absolutely treat me right and adore me"

@FilmoreJenna @micsolana You're missing the point. It took Florida 5 months to completely overhaul and prevent it from ever happening again. We're now 20+ years into California's 'problems'. Only one state chose to fix their system, the other allows it to be corrupted. It's a feature, not a bug.

@micsolana Replies here are funny. Elections were always fu$ked in this country, as my point overwhelmingly proves.

insane that they’re trying to community note a recollection so common and mundane as this, but the rewriting of history is core to modern leftism. in a sense, that’s the whole movement. nobody would accept their vision for the future if they really remembered what we were.

@invaderalex "Oh, I'm going to get an anime badge lanyard!" So here are the requirements: anime, space-related, and this is the hard one, safe for work!

I don't know how to feel that there is someone who has an itasha that has done a spacewalk before

@bumbadum14 You can just head to the West Coast when it's Christmas time. Leavenworth looks like we airlifted a Bavarian village and plopped it in our mountains.

I really hope more than anything euros start to understand why Americans don't travel internationally as much as they do. Across this country there are things like this.

@shipwreckedcrew Speaks to the bigger issue of who actually wants power and who wants to play fair. When the 2000 Florida elections were called to question, it only took 5 months for them to completely overhaul that system to prevent future problems. Meanwhile in California...

I think the organizational efforts of DSA in the City of LA in particular, the liberal-progressive NGO and union vote maximization infrastructure that can be activated for the purpose of turning out a a few "ten-thousand" ballots when needed, and the elongated period for receipt of ballots -- after blanks are flooded into every community in Calif by mail whether requested or not -- all combine to introduce the opportunity to commit fraud AS NEEDED. California has largely abandoned or neutered the mechanisms that might be able to detect that fraud as it is happening, and the announcement of final results is like the striking of a set after the last performance of theater production -- everything is packed and loaded and the production company vanishes into the night as quickly as they arrived. The fact that the mechanism to detect fraud rests in the hands of elected county officials who are simpatico with the local political leadership means eyes will be diverted. Important materials -- voter registration lists -- are kept away from the political opposition, and any meaningful effort to "audit" the process for collecting and counting votes is opposed on both procedural grounds and substantive grounds with "demands for evidence" being a foundational requirement for an inquiry to even be launched.

@PMaxiums @HolmesJosh Why did Paxton do so well with the Hispanic vote if being critical of diversity is an issue? Likewise, why did Cornyn get absolutely destroyed even though he paraded diversity, immigration etc..? You overestimate the relevance of things you personally find important.

@HolmesJosh She's Hispanic, you fools have no clue at what point being critical of Texans diversity becomes farce

Come on.

@type1ayy @IgnoreKassandra @3xcalibaneur 2020-2024: a million cars stolen EACH YEAR. Imagine how large that number would be if cars were worth $200,000 and could fit inside a backpack. That would be 200 billion a year in damages at just current numbers using your car comparison. It's ignorant to think wont affect you.

@IgnoreKassandra @3xcalibaneur I’m sorry but skill issue Tell me you live in a city with a crime problem without telling me

Laughing so hard at the idea of people putting literal lootboxes with $200,000 of graphics cards unguarded out on their lawn. What do they think is going to happen?

@ThomBrady5 It's unfortunate that most of the people with the largest voices and platforms are also wealthy enough to be almost entirely shielded from any of these realities.

good reminder that random unpaid anons like me are always ahead of the curve in telling you what's actually happening

@YDKI007 @USAttyEssayli @FBILosAngeles The press release is being used as a way for the currently non-powerful wing of the state workers to publicly shame the city for hiring a convicted murderer.

@YDKI007 @USAttyEssayli @FBILosAngeles It's a felony for him (as a convicted violent felon) to posses body armor in California. Same charge as if he had a firearm. It would be a misdemeanor if his previous crime was a non-violent felony, but he murdered somebody.

MacArthur Park Update This morning, @FBILosAngeles arrested Michael Angel Alvarez, 41, a.k.a. “Diablo,” an active 18th Street gang member, convicted murderer, and Los Angeles “Peace Ambassador” who is being paid with L.A. city taxpayer dollars. According to Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez: “Peace Ambassadors are embedded in the communities they serve. Their presence strengthens safety networks and ensures families have someone to turn to outside of law enforcement when facing non-emergency conflict or community stress.” Alvarez is charged in a federal criminal complaint with possession of body armor by a violent felon, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison. According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, Alvarez was paid more than $58,000 last year for his work for Healing Urban Barrios, an organization that contracted with the city for its Peace Ambassador program that is run in the city’s Council District 1, which includes MacArthur Park. Alvarez was convicted in 2002 for first-degree murder for which he was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison, but was released by the State of California after serving just 24 years’ imprisonment. There is no indication Alvarez has ever stopped associating with the 18th Street gang. In fact, in jailhouse telephone call recordings of Alvarez since his release from state prison, he discussed assaulting individuals for breaking gang rules. @LAPDRampart officers who searched Alvarez’s car near MacArthur Park on May 18 discovered two body armor plates in the trunk. The plates are from Las Vegas and are marketed as “the highest protection level available on the civilian market.” The hardworking tax payers of Los Angeles deserve better than to see their money shelled out to a convicted gang murderer.

@b3a5tc0c @JTAlexander I just looked up the demographics for Tesla owners and it's 97% homeowners vs 3% renters. This is almost the only reason why these aren't being mass adopted. It's not just the car price with electric vehicles.

@JTAlexander For the most part new ICE cars aren’t as reliable as the old ones. Even Hondas and Toyotas. Buying a cheap, reliable older car with cash is best. A leased Tesla model 3 at $299 a month is also super cheap. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla given the outrageous depreciation they have.

My first real lesson in financial management of any kind was Dave Ramsey's program. Its got some good fundamentals, but he's been wrong about cars in particular for at least 15 years. The sticker price isn't all that goes into a car. Calculate how much the car costs PER MILE. This is your most effective calculation of the actual cost of a car. Cheap new cars, like a Nissan Versa, almost always have a lower cost per mile than most used cars because the cost of maintenance and repairs is effectively zero. New cars also usually have lower interest rates than used cars. Yes, if you *can* pay cash for a used car that's a non-issue, but if you can pay cash for a used car in 2026 then you have more money than the people Dave's program was designed for. Whenever I have told people that buying new is actually cheaper in the long run, I get weird looks and silly objections from people that insist I'm talking about buying a Challenger or a 4Runner or F150. I haven't bought a used car since 2010. I've bought four new cars since then; all cheap little Versas until I traded them all in an upgraded to an SUV a couple of years ago. If cheap and effective is what you need, look for the cheap things like the Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, that kind of thing. Calculate based on cost per mile, not cost per month.

@dTumza Give people money! Make it HR goofy and 'fun' if you want, put them in a tornado air tank filled with money and give them each 60 seconds to grab as much as they can. magicspecialevents.com/event-rentals/…

Guys please give me team building ideas other than padel, golf, gokarting?

@GreenAmber10k @JTAlexander It's becoming increasingly common for them to read smut. These new genres are skyrocketing in popularity, they already outsell mystery, thriller, literary and science fiction combined. It's almost a 2 billion dollar industry. 41%+ sales jump in 2 years compared to 4% fiction

@JTAlexander It's common for women to not read smut. Booktok doesn't represent all female readers.

My wife was actually reading 30-40 books a year, and those books were City of God, The Count of Monte Cristo, My Captivity, and such mixed in with things like “Double Fudge Brownie Murder.” Sometimes I think I might be married to the last normal woman.

@BowieFan2024 @NEETzscheIDDQD Not only are they asking for more of it, they already RECEIVE IT NOW. 39 states offer relief programs specifically for seniors, 6 of them allow full deferral until sale. 18 provide tax credits. Boomers get luxury handouts from the government and it's still not good enough.

@NEETzscheIDDQD boomers are not asking for prop tax relieve, this is all a very lazy and stupid psyop to foment hate. congrats for either being stupid and falling for it, or for being paid to push bullshit

No, boomers need to downsize to pay their property taxes. And not even all of them, just the ones who didn't prepare for retirement properly. Stop being so entitled. The world owes you nothing.

@memeticsisyphus The important thing for people to remember is not that woke has gone away, it's that a lot of these people have lost their institutional power. They still hate and want to kill you, they're just currently unable to do so.

They still do this. They just don’t have institutional support anymore. There was another attempted dust up because some rando was making ice cream using an odd south East Asian ingredient. They haven’t learned any lessons, they haven’t become less vicious. They would still gladly ruin your life over something trivial like this, companies are just more adept at handling the retard wave of cancelations so it’s become less effective.
