Read this thread for a frankly breathtaking example of the utter garbage you get when Techbrahs try their hand at law.

Although if you say "I have an issue that's important to me, huh, I guess I will try Vibe Lawyering," I am basically ok with whatever happens to you.

The bros are at it again! and make no mistake, they are LITERALLY calling it "Vibe Lawyering"

Democrats should go on TV to say they need to impeach Trump because of the cocaine-fueled pedophilia parties that he holds in the East Room of the White House with his friends in MS-13.

I mean, if he gets to lie shamelessly, why not them?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I'm an atheist so I don't believe prayer and good wishes changes jack shit

but that said, I truly hope with all my heart Dolly knows how much we all love and appreciate the fuck out of her.

I also hope she knows she can rest and care for herself, and fuck off Vegas.

She's a global treasure.

Things Most People Don't Know About the Strike! - From Your Neighbourhood Postal Workers
Myths
1. Canada Post is "Losing $10M a Day."
2. Strikes Stop Essential Mail.
3. Workers Are Overpaid.
4. Mail Is Dying Anyway.
5. Canada Post Drains Taxpayers.
6. It's Just About Wages.
7. Canada Post Has No Alternatives.
8. Privatization Would Fix the Post Office.
9. Workers Are the Problem.
Facts
That number is padded with accounting tricks and one-time costs-designed to scare the public and blame workers. Pension cheques, benefits, and medicine are still delivered. Nobody is "held hostage."
Over the past four years, the cost of living has jumped about 16.5%, yet Canada Post's proposed 13% raise doesn't keep up-leaving workers and their families falling behind.
Letter mail is down, but parcels and admail volumes have exploded. Losses come from mismanagement, not workers' wages.
Canada Post funds itself and has handed over $1.5B to taxpayers. The recent $1B loan wasn't for workers most went to cover bond maturities and other non-
wage costs.
-
Workers are also fighting unsafe
workloads, short staffing, rising injuries, pension threats, and insecure temp jobs -while executives, including 15+ Vice- Presidents protect their pensions. CUPW already proposed weekend parcel delivery, postal banking, and green. energy hubs. Management blocked them
- then blamed workers for falling behind. The plan is to starve the service, declare it broken, then sell it off. Elsewhere, privatization meant higher prices, fewer services, and rural communities abandoned.
Management drags out talks waiting for back-to-work laws. Your neighbourhood postal worker is painted as "costly" or "unreasonable," while executive bonuses and mismanagement get a free pass.

Have the soy farmers tried growing SUPPLEMENTS, bro?

Or maybe starting a podcast? I hear podcasts are basically free money, bro.

Just go down to Austin and hit some crowd work, it's all about the hustle- why do you sound so woke, bro?

Since SNL is back I want to mention that short term cast member Luke Mones had an idea for a sketch they never did where a guy on death row is asked what he wants for his last meal and he says Olive Garden’s Never Ending Soup and Breadsticks and they can never execute him because he keeps eating

Easily the stupidest thing I’ve read all day.

What lies beneath the bullshit is that the AI push is about concentrating wealth into the hands of five tech companies. People aren’t part of the equation.

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 15h

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”
