the government shutdowns really only started in 90s when republicans realized that they could simply shut down the government when they didn’t get their way and make everyone’s life hell

So glad I’m not the only one who realized this. I thought I was losing my mind for second

Well just bc it seems like they have their shit together, doesn’t mean they aren’t also struggling.

It’s exhausting to keep up with appearances, but they could also just struggle with aspects that’s not very noticeable to the outside world

one time ChatGPT told me that 6≠6 and that was the last time I used it. idk how anyone could trust its pop culture theories when it can’t even do basic math

I thought the same thing. I’ve just never seen it so blatantly described as a path to citizenship for sale. But a grifter is gonna grift

yeah, it feels very illegal. but then again, they’re operating under unitary executive theory in which they believe they are the law 🙃

is this even legal? (not that legality really matters these days)

Oh, I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m a recent engineering school grad and my university has the mech/aero students do their capstones for defense contractors bc they would provide funding. It’s all about money to them — no matter where it comes from

it’s definitely part of it, but I think another part is that there’s virtually no pushback from academia or industry. people either don’t think or care about the societal impacts of their creations and no one is telling them their ideas are at best unnecessary and at worst a danger to society

It’s definitely possible. But Taylor has sent c&d letters to etsy sellers over unlicensed merch. I’m almost certain if he didn’t get one, it was being drafted or in the mail. Honestly, he may still get sued

all he needs to do is say that he never said that and then you’ll truly have a narcissist on your hands

I feel like he got a c&d from Taylor’s lawyers telling him to take it down before he got sued and is blaming it on “the hate from people”

aviation accidents is starting to give gun violence a run for its money 😐

it’s both comforting and mildly annoying that I haven’t had many unique experiences

three warts would’ve been better

I didn’t think it was the official page for a second bc this is so despicable — even for them and that’s saying a lot

She didn’t have anything about the bf on the profile —not even a photo. I’m so confused 😩
