What’s funny is Ukraine used to be the place where Russia’s nukes were made and maintained, so they literally had to hire Ukrainians to continue maintenance on their stockpiles. These guys already know how to MAKE nukes. I wonder how much of that factors into these recent decisons?

Only one computer left on Windows in my household and only because of gaming. Everything else is on either Linux Mint or Bazzite as I finalize testing. Windows is dead to me.
To be completely fair, I’d love to see SCOTUS’ faces right now. Do they and Congress not understand that they’re losing all their influence?
Only had dial-up so insert youvegotmail but then got introduced to bbs and freaked out when I realized I was actually typing to a real person who would gasp! respond.
Not long after I entered the brave new world of irc and the rest was history. Internet=RabbitHole 4ever!
Oh he’s special, alright.
Sorry, maybe because I’m American, so in case our other friends are confused… Managers are below Executives in every capacity and when you ‘flatten’ your radial grid, they mean firing managers. They are the yessiest of the yes men in corporate america.
C-Suite = CEO, CTO, CFO, etc.
Executives = Presidents, Vice Presidents, Directors, etc.
Managers = The people who manage the workers, ie handle scheduling, duties, metrics, and having to eventually fire someone because the people above tell them to.
Workers = The people who actually know the job.
It’s so cute that they put Managers above Executives. Man up and call it what it is, instead… The C-Suite
This ignorance of history is why we’re destined for a repeat lmao
Oh wait…
Or it could be that as the article also said,
The Washington county reduced hours due to a tight budget
Which implies that pay was cut and not everyone could do without that extra bit.
It comes down to the number of mouths that have to fed at the end of the day. Individuals producing news stories appear ‘free’ for the masses because they have alternative ways of earning, such as monetization on a large platform.
News agencies, however, are in a strange place these days. They used to be private and used to have a default subscription fee. You paid for the paper or you read one that someone left behind somewhere. Nobody’s buying papers anymore and they’ve had to move online. In addition they’ve been purchased by giant conglomerates or billionaires. It’s no longer a matter of making sure their employees are fed by producing a great product… the billionaires and CEO’s just want money. Since everyone’s ad-blocking these days they charge subscriptions and leverage tech to deny their product to those who don’t pay.
There will always be alternative news sources, and god knows I prefer them to 18 tv stations in the same city using the exact same propagandized scripts. You just have to put in the effort to look for them. That’s the fee you’re paying. Time.
Literally on the heels of the revelation that China is spying on all chats and phone calls, these clowns still think back doors are safe in any way.
I swear, humanity is simply failing the IQ test here.
Was in Spain on a Spanish club field trip. I forget what I did as it was years ago but I wanted to express how embarrassed I was about something.
Used the word ‘embarrasada’.
Hilarity ensued.
Edit: Oh look! Other people in this thread did the same thing lol. I feel so much better.
Um lessee… Mary Sue twice, Miranda, Jack and Ashley once each. Next up is Garrus, and yes, I know. Tali is on that list xD She’s just my frennnnn
You?
The Mass Effect Trilogy. Just can’t stop playing that game haha
And to think I was trying to get Allred to unseat Cruz.
Oh no! It’s the consequence of my actions!
Stop ordering the fries and a drink. Shit’s bad enough already. Dinner’s $5 and I bring a drink with me.
Consumerism is killing us and corporations will not self-correct until you hit them on the nose with a curled up newspaper.
If y’all aren’t already aware the first test date for Consumer Power is on Feb 28th. Don’t buy ANYTHING on that date. Yeah, it’s brief, it will probably be a blip, but this is like a test of the emergency broadcast system. If we can get say 2% of people to do that, then watch closely for reactions, it will help us spread the word for the 2nd test. Then the 3rd. It’s only through this grassroots organization that we can accomplish anything.
I had a friend tell me that they’d already seen organizations trying to make it their idea and honestly, I’m not at all concerned about who is putting their brand on it. The POINT here is that we need to start exercising our muscles to make this a real tool for change. Stop focusing on that message and start embracing the larger goal here. Spread the word. RESIST.
