I literally couldn’t pass one for something I needed to access.

I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.

You aren’t wrong but…

Can you imagine the spectacle of an ancient senator literally taking a stand for something he/she believes in?

That’d be pretty powerful.

I somewhat disagree.

Music seems like it’s followed a similar trajectory of most things where it’s become more centralized and mass marketed. Music has to appeal to the masses for studios to pick it up. So there is an incentive to find music that appeals to the most people and turns off the fewest.

Similarly, you have a handful of studios telling you what is “good” and pushing it. Even if it isn’t great, it’s good enough that people listen and then they can create the hype behind it where it might not organically exist.

Some music bubbles up organically from independent artists but quite a bit is mass marketed and produced by big studios. And they have the money so they can choke out smaller artists.

The issue with the filibuster,now, is that it’s too easy. It needs to be hard like the old days.

Ironically, because it’s so easy we actually don’t even see filibusters often anymore. It’s usually the threat of a filibuster that stops legislation in its tracks. If it was harder, where you stood for days, then it might not actually stop legislation. At least it would be brought to force the issue.

You should have to earn it.

I’m sure the geriatric core of our Congress will thrilled to have to stand for hours to prove their points.

And that seems entirely reasonable to me. Unless I am missing something

I wonder how much we could get if we sold it back to France?

We could keep nawleans though.

Oh umm. I would never make my password this…

I think if you do allow 8 character passwords the only stipulation is that you check it against known compromised password lists. Again, pretty reasonable.

School is usually cancelled because the schools are often polling locations.

It makes it all the more dumb to not have it as a national holiday.

There are campgain signs out that say “Law and Order Matters”

… sponsored by the local Republicans.

I assumed it was a Dem sign then I saw who sponsored it, then I assumed it was a joke, then I realized that no, it’s real and they are just that deluded.

More like: big money and corporate lobbying is ruining democracy. These are just the big boys.

Hell no. Play to win. As soon as you start playing to “not lose”, you’ll lose.

I love the confidence of this and let’s not pretend she won’t smack him harder the second time. She’s a former prosecutor and she’s also not 800 years old.

He’s scared, weak, and fragile. Call him out on it.

Former presidents dont typically get involved in presidential politics(especially of their own party ) after they leave.

They’ll typically stump for candidates in their own party if they were a popular former president.

You could argue that his lack of involvement with Trump’s campaign is pretty telling.

I feel like you all are misplaying your hands. Find contractors that work for the govt.

They can bill the govt much higher rates because you have a PhD. They don’t have to pay you the extra. You could literally tell them that. Pay me at a junior rate and keep the difference until I prove I’m worth more.

You’d be straight revenue/profit for them. and it gets your foot in the door and you start getting actual experience.

This just seems like something everyone does. Is this an ADHD symptom?

3000 less people than last week

I think you are obligated to share your entire known hosts file to prove this.

It’s been allowed everywhere I have ever lived in the US.

The issues you’ll run into is they get all stupid about it if your service ever goes down. They’ll always blame your router/modem first. (Literally the entire neighborhood could be down and they’ll act like it’s something specific to your device). Sometimes they try to charge an install fee or a connection fee or other dumb shit.

I think their are local laws that require them to allow byod too. It depends on your area though.

Jesus. That man had a family!

Lololol
