I only take on gross work, as per rhyming conventions gross work is your gross worth.

I would mostly be confused based on my lack of any programming experience.

Everything I know about Barbados involves limbo competitions in the year 3,000…

The people not voting against Trump.

And supporting Trump is like lighting the rest of the ship on fire so people will start paying attention to the problem.

What’s your suggestion to make them listen to their base instead of chasing voters who have never voted D and just straight ticket vote R?

Split ticket voting. Local elections, local primaries, down ballot votes. We need a generational shift in party leadership. Party leaders generally start as smaller/more local candidates. If you have a strong roster of “up and coming” progressives winning primaries and elections those progressives get more power and sway in the party as they win bigger offices.

I think it would send largely the same message you want without the global harm to have Biden stuck with a Republican legislature. They are still bad, but Trump is the cult leader and the actual danger.

Very much disagree. It seems you’re suggesting that the fallout from another Trump presidency will lead to better long term results than a second Biden presidency?

What happens to Ukraine after you stick it to the man and support Trump? Nobody is learning the lesson you want them to. You’re supporting a dictatorship through cynicism. You can be mad at more than one group. DNC could be doing more. Biden could be doing more. Normal voters acting like helping a literal traitor back into office is the better alternative could be doing better.

Like it or not (I don’t), we are stuck with the two choices. Helping the guy who literally says he wants to be a dictator is illogical in every context. If you actually care, volunteer in local elections and donate to candidates that support your views, help create a strong next generation of progressive democrat candidates.

You already did that with Hillary, really worked out great for everyone, huh? I do not understand how anyone can consider a second Trump presidency preferable to Biden just not doing as much as they would like.

What exactly do you think Trump would be doing in any way better in this situation?

Being bitter about your choices so letting others make the choice for you is way more spineless.

The House will have… who?

Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch…

wrangle it in?

I’m hoping even a junior dev has had more than 60 hours of training.

Ok. Bankers first.

Middle management only cares that it looks like you’re working (and thus their job of supervising you doing the work is necessary (apparently)), and upper management only cares that you’re making them money.

The researchers found a positive correlation between the time spent playing guitar chords and the desire facet of the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory Revised. This suggests that guitarists who devote more time to playing chords are more motivated towards casual sex. However, when the researchers conducted a multiple regression analysis to see if guitar-practicing habits could predict the number of lifetime sexual partners, the overall model did not show a significant result.

So guitarists spend lots of time practicing to attract women, but it doesn’t actually work. They could probably find similar results with gym rats.

Unless it’s “a majority of House members,” it doesn’t mean much.

Just in time for all the searchable information to be completely drowned out by low quality AI content.

Gonna have to go the Bill and Ted route.

I’ll figure out what I need in the next 50 years and let him know there. Now the time traveler can just tell me whatever I want to have wanted to know.

I don’t think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries…

Not unless it’s profitable, at least…

I remember when they pretended to be that. The fact that the board got replaced when it tried to exert its own power proves it was a facade from the beginning. All the PR benefits of “taking safety seriously” with none of those pesky “safety vs profitability” concerns.

You mean the military with access to a massive trove of illegal surveillance (aka training data), and billions of dollars in dark money to spend, that is always on the bleeding edge of technological advancement?

That military? Yeah, they’ve definitely been in on this one for a while.
