So what I’m hearing is there are no downsides…

Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we’d all be better off.

I haven’t spoken to my dad since the pandemic when he rode the anti vaxxer bandwagon. He was also deeply into Trump, Putin and all that 5G spreading COVID conspiracy shit. At the time my spouse worked in hospitality and we were on the edge of our seats every day wondering if some douchebag customer would give us COVID. Eventually that’s exactly what happened but of course that didn’t matter to dad. I’m so tired of this extremist right wing ideology being normalised as a type of conservative - doesn’t seem very family oriented to me when you beat your wife and alienate your traumatised adult kids.

All that matters is the sponsorship tier - will you be flying the judge out to a vacation? Buying their mother a house? The outcome is solely dependent on your investment in the court. Justice.

No sane court? So it has a real chance of being decided by The Supreme Court…

I’ve always found it weird how obsessed with gay sex they are. I’m a gay man but I don’t think about gay sex as often as the average conservative. Weird.

You gotta think of it from the POV of a grown adult with the mind of a child…

Little in the middle but she got much back!

It’s about coming for whatever she’s doing and being as harsh about it regardless of truth or context. They love a good misogynistic pile on.

Its the alien vents that lead back to the Primary Containment Facility.

One of my ex employers sold a construction company a six figure “building logistics system” which was just a Microsoft Access file. And the construction dudes had to use a CDMA dongle to remote desktop into a mainframe to open their access files. A travesty.

I reckon it’s hard to attach blame to Microsoft because of the culture of corporate governance and how decisions are made (without experts).

Tech has become a bunch of walled gardens with absolute secrecy over minor nothings. After 1-2 decades of that, we have a generation of professionals who have no idea how anything works and need to sign up for $5 a month phone app / cloud services just to do basic stuff they could normally do on their own on a PC - they just don’t know how or how to put the pieces together due to inexperience / lack of exposure.

Whether it’s corporate or government leadership, the lack of understanding of basics in tech is now a liability. It’s allowed corporations like Microsoft to set their own quality standards without any outside regulation while they are entrusted with vital infrastructure and to provide technical advisory, even though they have a clear vested interest there.

OK, but people aren’t running Crowdstrike OS. They’re running Microsoft Windows.

I think that some responsibility should lie with Microsoft - to create an OS that

1. Recovers gracefully from third party code that bugs out
2. Doesn’t allow third party software updates to break boot

I get that there can be unforeseeable bugs, I’m a programmer of over two decades myself. But there are also steps you can take to strengthen your code, and as a Windows user it feels more like their resources are focused on random new shit no one wants instead of on the core stability and reliability of the system.

It seems to be like third party updates have a lot of control/influence over the OS and that’s all well and good, but the equivalent of a “Try and Catch” is what they needed here and yet nothing seems to be in place. The OS just boot loops.

Why is no one blaming Microsoft? It’s their non resilient OS that crashed.

It’s so funny how Republicans love to stir up the moral outrage of the community. Meanwhile they disproportionately seem to have murderers, rapists and child molesters in their ranks.

That’s a relief I guess, but I still have a great sense of shame and remorse for our conservative politicians. In America they sell out to billionaires for huge rewards. In Australia they’ll fuck the country for a bag of peanuts.

As an Australian, I’m sorry for how backwards and retrograde this country is.

Or get medical care when we’re sick.

In my life the only people who have stolen from me were all conservatives. Ironic given how obsessed they all are with their own property and “the law”.
