It's wild that the party that supposedly cares so much about the military once forced the Postal Service to set aside enough money to cover its employees' entire retirement plans, but forces the military to live paycheck-to-paycheck as it were.

Well, it's the middle east, so "freezing" is a bit hyperbolic... I think? Or are they going through the same freak weather patterns as Texas?

As if "letting the military go broke" wouldn't be a very good idea right now considering who's about to be in charge of it.

The sad thing is, from Disney's perspective, this wasn't a gamble at all, any more than making a third Sonic movie was for Paramount. Every sequel, prequel, spinoff, and remake that exists exists because the suits consider it a sure thing. If they really wanted to throw all their chips on the...

Oh, also: This is the first computer I've ever built from scratch like this. I had no idea what I was doing beyond what I already knew from the various part upgrades and replacements I've done over the years. First time installing a CPU or cooler (the cooler came with the thermal paste...

Last Week Tonight was where I first saw footage of people doing it, if that helps. And I don't know for a fact that people have been voting in her stead, but if it's as common a practice as Mr. Oliver made it out to be, I can't imagine that they haven't been, especially if there's been a...

Speaking of MacGuyvering and PCs... I built my new PC that I bought over Black Friday weekend! And by "built" I mean "dumped the parts into a boring office PC case from the mid 2000s, because it was either that or figure out how to use the case whose power LED plug doesn't fit the motherboard."...

And meanwhile her desk neighbors can keep reaching over and pushing her vote button for her, which is somehow a thing that they're allowed to do.

And remember, his "net worth" is mostly the combined speculated value of his companies. As such, it—and his status as the world's wealthiest man—can instantly poof out of existence if people decide one or more of those companies is actually worthless.

That's more just... the result of patent and copyright laws existing, I think.

I hope you have a plan to keep the safe harbor rules in place, then. Otherwise any website that happens to contain any copyrighted material could be sued out of existence without so much as a warning. That threat was literally why the internet united to defeat SOPA over a decade ago. I'd argue...

So if we all started posing as redhats but continuing to promote the same policies as we always have, would they be dumb enough to fall for it?

That would be a hilarious oversight (until we learn that it was totally intentional and an excuse to yank all school funding from the budget), but no.

The easy answer would be the same reason prominent figures on both sides of the aisle have appeared on Joe Rogan's show: he's famous, he invited them on, and it's an easy way to get free publicity. Granted, I've never heard of this guy until now, but I am extremely out of the loop when it comes...

Actually while you're looking into it, maybe see if there's a way to disable the behavior in the first paragraph. It's annoying and pointless, and it's not just on mobile. And it's clearly default Xenforo behavior because another forum I'm on does it too. I had assumed maybe it just purges its...

As if the business"people" who run companies like this deserve to not be considered criminals by default anyway. Hey, if they don't want to risk getting falsely accused of murdering whistleblowers, maybe they shouldn't do heinous jive that merits blowing a whistle in the first place. EDIT...

I feel like it should be the law that if a prominent whistleblower is found dead, everyone they blew the whistle on should just be declared guilty of their murder automatically.

Hey, look, a crisis actor.

It does inasmuch as they'll listen to whatever the chuds on Fox News and OAN say, as long as they don't question Dear Leader specifically.

I'm not sure I like this plan. Taking the name of a real hate-speech outlet that has caused over a billion dollars worth of measurable harm and using it for a parody of one seems...insensitive. I was really hoping it would get bought by someone who plans to just liquidate their assets and then...
