Probably because the ceasefire was immediately violated

The ceasefire has already been violated. The financial markets are demonstrably unmoored from reality.

The fact that RFK is still trundling along with his wormy little meat mech pilot is evidence enough for me that karma does not exist

Well, look at Vichy France and their eventual liberation from Nazi Germany and De Gaulle and the ultimate transition to the 5th republic. Not a “military coup” per se, but still a period in France where strong military-oriented leadership

Sure, it’s not often that military leadership ends up peacefully transitioning to civilian leadership… but given how our civilian leadership is the problem right now, I’m willing to give it a shot, because it could hardly be less sane that the idiocy that’s happening now. There exists some subset of career military officers and leadership to whom honor and loyalty and integrity actually matter; the same cannot be said for anyone in the regime currently, since their North Star is making a buck and “winning”.

Honestly the best thing to come out of this shitshow of a war is the absolutely hilarious trolling that Iranian embassies fired off at orangeboi

I think I’m gonna go to the pub after work tonight, because if we’re gonna start throwing canned sunshine around, I want to at least have a fucking pint before I get glassed

“Even though we’ve evolved in the U.S. over the past few years, too much of our operations are still tied to large U.S. newspaper groups, who make up less than 10% of our business. Now is the time to be bolder about making this transformation,” Julie Pace, the outlet’s top editor, wrote in a memo to staff that was shared with The Hill. “To ensure we are delivering the coverage today’s customers – and future customers – value the most, we are restructuring our U.S. operations and will part ways with some colleagues who have served this organization well.”

The cuts will impact less than 5 percent of the AP’s news staff, Pace said, noting the move would mostly impact the U.S. news team and insisting it will “not affect AP’s 50-state footprint.”

This is a pivot away from the US in terms of major offices and staffing. Which, let’s be honest, isn’t an awful idea, considering the current regime’s opinions on press freedom.

It’s too late

Go listen to Group B Audi noises. You’ll understand.

I see your Toyota expertise and raise you the primary, secondary, and tertiary balancing harmonics of pretty much any 4-stroke ICE geometry that’s not wildly esoteric

That’s… very interesting. I’ve been using it for ages and haven’t had those sorts of issues.

FWIW, it’s more or less just as configurable as VSCode and friends, so there’s probably a setting somewhere you can change to correct the behavior you’re having frustrations with.

I’ve come to prefer zed myself

The bad news is that the first time you update your package manager, it moves EVERYTHING to your home directory

It is highly dependent on where you live. And it’s not density-specific, either. Some cities are sketchier than others. Some rural areas are sketchier than others.

Too many people with too much power are making too much money, so they all work together to keep the cash cow going. It’s become pretty clear that’s what the US has reduced itself to at this point. It’s kinda nakedly obvious this whole thing is a giant fucking Ponzi scheme at this point - I’m fairly certain I’m never getting the social security I’ve payed into for my whole career.

Investors

I think he’s a tool, but credit where it’s due: it’s great that he’s supporting the movement, and he does have a huge following.

Lmfao

Deeks said “One of our friends is an SVP of one of the largest insurers in the country and he told us point blank that this is a very real problem and he does not know why people are not talking about it more.”

Maybe because way too many people are making way too much money and it underpins something like 30% of the economy at this point and everyone just keeps smiling and nodding, and they’re going to keep doing that until we drive straight off the fucking cliff 🤪
