“The new Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.”
He was never for free speech. Just claimed he was and somehow people ate it up just like they always do with everything else he claims. He said this less than a month after buying Twitter btw.
Lol we’re already there. 2019 was the most cases the US has seen since the measles were declared eradicated in the country. New York and Washington declared an official state of emergency for it. This year is barely better and we are perilously close to losing its elimination status which would (obviously) make us the only developed nation to hold that honor.
Fun fact, this year 97% of cases were found in people that were not fully vaccinated. Of course this is merely a huge coincidence and vaccines serve no other purpose than turning us and the neighboring wildlife gay but it’s worth noting.
I am so happy they’re putting up new videos. The election stuff is fantastic.
I work in this space. There’s a wide variety of reasons, a company being dumb and greedy is definitely among them but typically just a tiny part of the equation. The biggest thing is certified vendors. The military/government is incredibly strict with who they’ll contract with. Which means the supply is incredibly limited on many things, which in turn means that companies will ratchet up prices a crazy amount in part to deal with the goofy standards that the government requires on their goods but also because they know the demand far outweighs the supply.
There is also the burden of time. The US government drags their feet an INSANE amount on projects. It scales with size as well. The larger the project the slower things move almost every time. It very frequently gets to a point where they need stuff done right now because they waited too long and will pay pretty much any price to do it.
There is also the fact that the military is operating with a budget chalk full of “fuck you money.” In short, money is immaterial. Half the time they don’t even look at the price, whatever it costs doesn’t matter, just get it done and get it done right.
My company marks up shit an insane amount and I know for a fact pretty much every other certified vendor is as well. I dunno about 8k% (lol) markup but honestly that doesn’t shock me. The prices I’ve seen are jaw dropping. And they pretty much never get negotiated or rejected.
Right this is a pretty awful example of English as a language. Like if I talk to a skibidi brainrot kid today I’d hear all sorts of shit I wouldn’t understand at all like:
“Bruh I literally I need to get on my sigma grindset and start mewing so I can looks max and pull that shmlawg gyatt with the rizzle. Then I can stop gooning like a beta sussy imposter. Bet she won’t fanum tax my bussin’ glizzy or there’ll be a whole bunch of turbulence and I’d literally hit the griddy on her. Only in ohio tho. Skibidi!”
I wouldn’t really say that means I don’t understand English as a language. Just that people are weird as hell with slang.
I’m not sure if some random ones are but I travel a good bit and since covid I have not seen a single Walmart open past 11pm. They are one of a TON of businesses that got rid of overnight operations for covid and never brought it back.
From the title I thought we were looking at an age of empires Luigi crossover. I’m kinda disappointed now
It’s like you’re not even considering the feelings of the millionaires and billionaires with 72 houses each and I for one just won’t stand for it.
I was shopping for daycare trying to kinda get a financial picture of how we could swing it not too long ago and the cheapest daycare I could find came out to about twice my mortgage lol. So I guess I either hit the lottery so I don’t have to use daycare or I just don’t have kids
Do you honestly think, in the history of humankind, there’s never been someone brilliant with super low confidence? Hell, even competent with uncertainty counts as imposter syndrome.
I know countless people that are amazing at something but are super unsure of themselves or don’t believe the product of their work is that good.
I, on the other hand, am actually a dumbass.
For the life of me I can’t figure out how this is a decisive topic. What is the argument against it? The only thing I can even imagine is people don’t want their tax dollars going to feeding children? But I mean, is whether or not it is a good endeavor to feed children really a tough nut to crack?
When walz was picked for VP I noticed one of the talking points Fox News had AGAINST him was that he pushed for free food in schools. Why the hell is that a bad thing??
For real. My dream is just to know I’m not a car accident, broken bone, random sickness, or mild rolled ankle from complete and utter financial ruin. I can’t even imagine that kind of security.
Just 40 more years. Then I get to die.
Or it can be like mass effect and you choose the option that just says “no thanks” but you’re character is a massive cunt for no reason at all and is like “no fucking thanks you asshole. I’m gonna kill you and wear your face as a mask.” And you’re just left wondering where the hell that came from lol
Same. This is the side of tampons the left doesn’t want you to see.
Ah, well… That makes a lot of sense…
That may be the most well lit house I’ve ever seen in my life. That damn place looks like a library or a business or something.
The whole thing is dumb. It’s a tire company. But not just that, it’s a French tire company. Name your top 3 favorite French dishes. Now name your top three favorite French restaurant. If you’re like me, you can’t even name one of either and after thinking about it, I can’t even remember even seeing a single french restaurant in my life outside of like a wine place or French bakery or something. Despite having possibly one of the least popular cuisines in all of the earth they are the ones choosing where we should all eat.
On top of that the system is super dumb. You can only have a Michelin star if your restaurant is in a place that allows them. Most states in the US are not allowed to have a Michelin star. You could be the best restaurant in all of the world but if your not in Chicago, New York City, LA, Vegas, or San Francisco too bad (and I think Miami now? Texas is about to get some too but only in Houston, Dallas and Austin cause… reasons).
In addition, they only allow a certain number of Michelin stars per location. So if you start an absolute kickass restaurant in a place that happens to allow Michelin stars but already has a few restaurants that have stars, well too bad, there aren’t any stars left. Tough shit.
But as dumb as it is… God damn is it phenomenal marketing so I guess… Good job?
There are a lot of situations out there where people, myself included, say one thing but when it comes down to it, they’d do the same thing if given the chance. I try to be cognizant of that but this is one time where I can absolutely say I wouldn’t be in that situation. I’ve turned down jobs for much less. Granted I wasn’t offered anywhere near the kind of money this jagoff was making but money isn’t a factor when it comes to something like this.
