Can we stop startups please
No one should be starting businesses, especially involving technology. Deeply unhinged and immoral behavior to do so.

deeply functionally cishet (married with a kiddo), but without sounding trite realizing that I have adhd has also made me realize “oh that kind of funny ‘he’s cute’ feeling you get very occasionally with dudes probably means something too lol”
My company hired a bunch of lower cost engineers in Chile without considering local labor laws, and were upset to discover that the Chileans refused to respond to being paged out of hours when systems were failing…and there was nothing they could do about it
Comrades, I am confessing to yet another reason to gulag myself. I’ve discovered someone on YouTube has made videos of the audiobook of Red Storm Rising set to accurate footage created with DCS with a NIN-esque soundtrack, it feels like my own personal nostalgia trap. Here’s the Backfire raid on a US carrier group:
One summer, there was a fella named Cornpop. Now, Cornpop was a real piece of work. He’d ride his bike around, but not one of those modern contraptions. No, he had this wooden, hand-crafted bike made from repurposed barn timber. He was all about getting back to the roots, literally and figuratively. No rubber tires, just wooden wheels, creaking and groaning like they were protesting the very concept of modernity.
Well, Cornpop didn’t like the way I was handling my compost heap. Said I was “too industrial,” using a pitchfork instead of my bare hands. We got into a real spat about it. He threatened to tear down my solar oven because he thought it was too high-tech. Said it was “betraying the essence of primitive living.”
folks, no one has been seriously ill with this, it’s a storm in a teacup
I wonder if this is going to stand out, along the lines of Katrina, as a clear moment in US history where the state very visibly just gives up without a token effort (outside of the more gradual trend of disintegration).
Mr Lahey, not another night of the shit abyss

Your post made me dig up this Trump bit:
Trump calls Pete Buttigieg’s name ‘unpronounceable’
Honestly some of his best material from the 2020 campaign, no notes.
“It’s just a cold bro” is the lasting narrative of that whole disaster, and the blame lies squarely with
That’s my American Rescue Plan, mack, I did that
Agreed that Jez was incompetent, as much as I carry a soft spot for him. And yeah - I wonder about that situation, where someone more competent was leading. I think the response would have been larger - and potentially to the point where it’d backfire.
I need to go back and rewatch A Very British Coup….the thought of Prime Minister McDonnell joining the Belt and Road Initiative as a means to improve the economy post-Brexit feels very Harry Perkins
I’m still convinced he’s an MI5 asset that was activated to contain socialists in the Labour Party: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2020/04/19/keir-starmers-links-with-an-intelligence-chief-add-to-his-controversies-as-dpp/
(Which is in agreement with you as MI5 is capital, but nonetheless - call me paranoid, but I do honestly think there was a coordinated intervention against Corbynism by capital, the state and the media).
Holy shit the Rishi Sunak election announcement is one of the funniest farcical humiliations I’ve seen in a long time

Very off topic, but I still wonder what the wars are like in the Bluey universe, given Rusty’s Dad. Does that mean that there are insurgencies in that universe?
Relatedly, the idea of muppet wars is wild
