Yeah, I have deep IT skills, so I might've been able to do it at 45, but I'm 61 now. It won't happen. I'm too close to retirement.

Oh is he now? Well I can think of some VERY choice things I'd like to say to THAT motherfucker.

But I can't say them publicly because they aren't LADYLIKE and would get me banned.

Fucking asshole.

The people who carried out these firings should, themselves, be fired. For gross incompetence.

This isn't the first time this has happened while Trump and his cronies take an axe to our government and its necessary services.

We're doomed all because they're messy disasters. All of them.

This will teach them to stop changing packaging to remove the name of what's inside. The bags haven't said "Lay's potato chips" in decades. Which is weird.

That's definitely a violation of the Geneva Conventions against torture. I went on it once with a 3 year old and that was awful.

Depends on the audience. Lots of loud hip hop? or very dense bass-y EDM/house music?

Alternatively you could go for atonal classical music like Schoenberg.

Or just go all out and play Wagner's Ring Cycle. Das Rheingold is the beginning.

Personally I'd go opera. It's BIG AND LOUD. And in German!

Who? Had to look it up.

A child rapist and an anti-semitic homophobe?

OK, then.

Everyone in the media will be screaming "HOW ON EARTH DID THIS HAPPEN? HOW DID WE NOT NOTICE?"

You know it, I know it, everyone in tech who doesn't work for Open AI or nVidia or some crappy LLM startup knows it, and even some of them).

We. Are. Doomed. Right before I'm supposed to retire.

Yay.

Bets on how old he was when he first did lines of coke with Uncle Junior.

She's behind by 4-12 pts, depending on the poll. She's not ahead in any of them. That doesn't bode well for any campaign. Current R Gov. Youngkin tried to buy votes by sending people a $200 "tax rebate" check in the mail (my sister was telling me about this) but it likely will not move the needle.

He's never wanted to run this country. He and his cronies are chaos monkeys. Nothing more. They've never been anything else.

Why are people talking about the election now?

Honestly. Is politics that dull that we have to make up other stuff to argue about?

Not the first time Miller has behaved like Gen. Alexander Haig when Reagan was shot in 1981.

For you youngsters, Haig was Sec. of State (and awful blowhard) who claimed on camera HE was in charge, when I reality VP George HW Bush was in charge of the country while Reagan was out of commission.

Can we just:

1. Legalize cannabis nationwide.
2. Stop pretending that weed is >>>>>DANGEROUS<<<<<
3. Tax and regulate it.
4. Give everyone amnesty who was convicted of weed related crimes since 1950.
5. Give weed businesses access to banking.

Did I forget anything? Done and done.
