@AirRaid07 @alt_w_v_g Considering each of them would work for a year and some change before crapping out, he definitely bungled this one
English

@didacticadidas @alt_w_v_g 😂
Dude could have bought six and had five on standby for as much as he paid for the “insurance”.
English

The dishwasher broke
My wife said "good thing we have the home warranty"
I said nothing
I've been paying $62 a month for three years for this moment
$2,232 for the peace of mind that when something breaks someone will come to the house and tell me it's not covered
I called
47 minutes on hold
They sent a technician
Arrival window: Tuesday through Thursday between 8am and 5pm
My analyst delivers faster than that
And he still hasn't fixed the gridlines
He showed up Wednesday at 4:47pm
Looked at the dishwasher
Opened the door
Closed the door
Touched something underneath
Said "not covered"
90 seconds
That's faster than my bank lets me prove I'm human
I said "what's covered"
He said "the motor"
I said "what's wrong with it"
He said "not the motor"
I said "convenient"
He said the service fee is $75
I paid a man $75 to open my dishwasher, close my dishwasher, and say two words
My analyst could do that
And he's not even that good
I called the warranty company back
38 minutes on hold
Requested the policy
129 pages
I read all 129 pages
Because that's what I do
The coverage section is 34 pages
The exclusions section is 58
The business model is right there
In the margins
Where nobody reads
Except me
Page 91 says "all mechanical and electrical components essential to appliance function are covered under standard service"
Page 104 excludes control panels
A control panel is an electrical component essential to appliance function
Their own document contradicts itself 13 pages apart
I highlighted both
Sent them an email
Subject line: "Plz fix. Thx."
Attached both pages
No other context
Took them three days to send a technician
Took them 4 hours to call me back when I found the loophole
Funny how that works
They covered the repair
Waived the $75
And I canceled the warranty anyway
Because a contract that contradicts itself isn't a contract
It's a suggestion
My wife said "so we're canceling"
I said "we're canceling"
She said "and the dishwasher"
I said "fixed. They're covering it."
She said "how"
I said "I read the policy"
She said "all 129 pages"
I said "the exclusions section starts on page 47. The coverage section ends on page 34. There are 13 pages between them where they hoped nobody would look."
She looked at me
Then she said "you're unbelievable"
I said "I just saved us $744 a year and got a free dishwasher repair. I'm not unbelievable. I'm thorough."
She looked at the ceiling
The dishwasher works now
The warranty is canceled
And the policy has been read
By at least one person
Probably the first
Make common sense common again
Plz fix. Thx.

@2kySzn @TukiFromKL Your efforts to disguise this AI generated take as original thought... well, they are efforts
English

@TukiFromKL Nothing broke.
The incentives just changed.
When valuation becomes the goal…
impact becomes optional.
English

🚨Do you understand what San Francisco actually became..
a founder just said "in SF you're high status if you've built something that impacted the world positively"..
this was true in 2010..
in 2026 San Francisco.. you're high status if you raised a $2 billion round for a cow collar.. if you fired 80% of your team and called it "efficiency".. if you slapped "AI" on a wrapper around someone else's API and called yourself a founder..
Paul Graham wrote that essay when SF was full of engineers sleeping under desks trying to change the world..
now it's full of founders sleeping in penthouses trying to change their cap table..
the city doesn't whisper "build something meaningful" anymore.. it whispers "what's your valuation"..
Paul Graham wrote about a city that doesn't exist anymore.. and nobody in SF has the guts to say it..
Founder Mode@Founder_Mode_
.@victorcardenas of @slashapp ($370M+): San Francisco is the best place in the world to build a tech company. Borrowing from @paulg’s essay on how cities shape and reward ambition, when a city consistently rewards builders, it naturally becomes a magnet for ambitious people. Over time, this shared mindset creates an environment where grueling 15 hour days and going the distance to build world class products are encouraged and reinforced.

@NoRealParty @BillGatesOHell @BasedInOh @TheQuartering What did any of the last few do for us, in your esteemed opinion?
English

@AirRaid07 @alt_w_v_g Yeah but what's the point if I can only get 10

@KeithOlbermann @Dearme2_ Is there anything you don't bitch like a little cunt about?

@LindyTasteful The bodega is a stage where theater kid college trust fund babies larp as humble working class people by eating like a Puerto Rican maid for a day

@ShootahMcGavin9 @StevenJLatham1 @clerpatriot Doesn't do comedy anymore, Friendsgiving sucked. He's very serious now
English

@didacticadidas @StevenJLatham1 @clerpatriot Sure but it didn’t change his acting at all. His personal life is separate from that.
English

@ShootahMcGavin9 @StevenJLatham1 @clerpatriot Don't overthink it. When politics start moving to the forefront of someone's thoughts, it affects their humor. Quite a lot, actually. And usually in a negative way.
English

@StevenJLatham1 @clerpatriot He’s never changed his style in acting. Your handlers just told you that you aren’t allowed to like him any more.
English

@MadMaxCrypto08 @BraedenSorbo Highly doubt they drove. Took the bus for sure, probably paid the fare in change and was a dime short
English

@BraedenSorbo Somebody go out of bed, left their house, and drove to a random hotel to eat a shitty breakfast. Losers

@ItsChickGinger @LearnToToad @zeynepmyenisey I love the ugliness of brutalism. I guess it's a love hate relationship... I'm fascinated by the aggressiveness of it. I definitely see how the style in question is derivative of brutalistic architecture, though. But it's so incredibly boring.
English

@didacticadidas @LearnToToad @zeynepmyenisey I do not like brutalism, though I can see that there can be beauty in it. You're right, though, in calling the other antiseptic, that is so perfect.
English

There's no color or whimsy left in the world anymore. Everything looks like a sterile beige purgatory and we need to bring back chaos, neon signs, and colorful decor even if it teeters on being slightly ugly. I want to feel something when i look at buildings and decor
Mads@MadsPosting
we live in the ruins of a great civilization
English

@ItsChickGinger @LearnToToad @zeynepmyenisey No. Brutalism is interesting, striking. This style is more antiseptic
English

@LearnToToad @zeynepmyenisey Exactly.
It's called brutalism. And even when they try to make it beautiful, it's still oppressive and huge and meant to make you feel like a cog in a machine.

@four_4time @nthepursuitof @zeynepmyenisey I tried it yesterday and my laptop shut off after about 10 minutes. It wasn't even that hot outside. Definitely not feasible without shade
English

@nthepursuitof @zeynepmyenisey I’ve never seen someone actually try to use their entire computer out on the beach like this. A hotel patio you can see the beach from maybe, but I’m willing to bet not many people actually do what’s in the photo, let alone more than once. Sand gets everywhere
English

Being on your laptop outside is a miserable experience and im tired of people pretending it's not
New York Post@nypost
California is envy of the nation as remote workers bring their offices to the beach trib.al/a4t7N8u
English

@zeynepmyenisey Being outside on your laptop is not about getting work done -- it's about performing for an audience.
English

@PulseEmperor @AtSynct @OnionTornado @zeynepmyenisey I wonder how they've even managed to survive this long
English

@SmokedManhattan @emeriticus It appears to be the foundation for bridging the gap between a viral account that quickly drops off the radar and one that maintains that visibility by growing a loyal fanbase. The fanbase develops a parasocial relationship w poster and feels invested in their personal matters.
English

@emeriticus Yeah I don’t get the obsession with her and her “mom”
And her “husband” total nothing burger.

Data Republican's whole thing is to show people mundane things, like FEC filings, and pretend like those things are actually shocking hidden, forbidden truths. It could only possibly work within the new right. No other media ecosystem could support such a ridiculous grift.
Dewey, Cheetham, & Howe LLP@HughLouisDewey
@emeriticus How does anyone take "Data Republican" seriously. That odd "thank you for your attention to this matter"-style posting is so irritating
English

@johnkonrad @BDHerzinger @DataRepublican @EvansRyan202 @WarOnTheRocks Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.

Hello Brad Duplessis,
You pre-emptively blocked me here on 𝕏, so I am forced to make this "Hello" a standalone post.
You are a retired Army infantry officer. You served in Iraq and Afghanistan. You graduated from the National War College in 2018. You are now an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
Thank you for your service.
But reputations are not defined by resumes. They are defined by choices.
Today, you chose to doxx @CynicalPublius.
Today, you published your debut article on War on the Rocks. You published his legal name. His profession. His pseudonym. All in one sentence. Indexed, archived, permanently searchable.
You have changed the course of his life forever, and revealed him to the leftist ghouls who will demand his blood for forever. It doesn't matter if he was planning to reveal his identity eventually. You still made that choice. And I will make sure you are remembered for this.
So, what was CP's sin such that you saw it fit to throw him to the wolves?
Last month, he dared to write an article for American Greatness, centered around nine recommendations for War College reform. The recommendations included firing most civilian faculty and ending permanent military faculty positions.
You hold a permanent civilian faculty position at a War College. You did not mention this in your article.
In short, you named him, exposed his life to danger, because you really are arguing for your job and self-preservation.
Know what is the most disgusting, hypocritical part of this is?
In the Fall 2017 issue of eARMOR (the U.S. Army Armor Branch professional journal) you published an article. You titled it "Our Readiness Problem: Brigade Combat Team Lethality." You opened with General Milley: "Our fundamental task is like no other — it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat." Your thesis: "If we are to get after GEN Milley's No. 1 priority, we must first address brigade combat team (BCT) lethality." The word "lethality" appears in your article about fifty times. You meant it as a compliment.
Now contrast to today's piece. You wrote this: "In staking out this Huntingtonian position, the cult of lethality does a disservice to service members and the American people."
The same word. Nine years apart. You were a field commander then, and lethality was the mission. You are a faculty member now, and lethality is what your critics embarrassingly worship.
Frankly - and you will never realize this - but you yourself are the living, walking example of the thesis which @PeteHegseth is proving.
Also, you named a section of today's article after Colin Powell. You called him your model of what War College education produces. Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, and publicly called Donald Trump "dangerous for our democracy." Powell, who infamously tipped the scales at the UN to start the Iraq war even after privately doubting the WMD intelligence, is your hero in an article about who gets to reform the military in 2026.
In addition to being a doxxer, you look a lot less like someone who's defending institutions, and a lot more like someone who exemplifies institutional capture in the name of self-preservation. And you disclosed none of it.
Let me reiterate.
@CynicalPublius wrote under a pseudonym and identified himself as a retired Army colonel with Afghanistan and Iraq experience. He argued about curriculum policy. You responded by putting his name on the internet.
Your career depends on the institutions you are defending. Your article defending those institutions is the same article that ended his anonymity.
You taught your students about the instruments of national power, Professor Duplessis. You are now a living, breathing demonstration one of them. And why reform must happen.

@goosa2013 @LiuNewYork @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani The angle at the beginning of the video making it look like a large dildo was hanging in the frame suggests he's more of a giver...
English

@LiuNewYork @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani So before it was repaired you were constantly getting rimjobs?
Or giving them?
English

Thank you @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani for fixing the Williamsburg Bridge bump! You saved many tubes, rims and maybe even an arm or two!
