Trump also said in 2024 that the military budget could be cut in half and oh look, just today, we can see how that went.

He’s full of shit, utterly deranged and I’ll believe any of it when I fucking see it.

I was in the middle of making a reply like this but yours is better. Closed as duplicate.

People like this are what the current slate of Republicanism is breeding, I guess. Nobody asking them for anything and they bust this shit out with no reason other than just trying to be a shithead to get people to react so they can call them snowflakes.

Welcome to the era of media that cannot die.

Same here, I got hired as a “webmaster” at a place that had been using some Yahoo web services for their website and they had dialup Internet accounts for everybody in the office. For the same money I got them access to a fractional T1 and set up a server on an old 486 gathering dust in the back room. We served up their webpages from in-house. They thought I was a god, I was just a big fat resume-padded liar who stayed up reading Usenet all night lol. Those were the days and I’ll never forget that distro:

Yes, yes I will, well Chromium forks.

Yeah, I’m not going to switch to a Manifest V3 browser because Firefox puts in access to an optional AI agent. If Firefox makes it so you can’t turn it off, which I wouldn’t think is likely, I might switch to something like Librewolf, but Chromium? No.

Is this the Epstein files we’ve been hearing about?

Handegg

So what role are they fulfilling?

Well, right now, the role of fluffing up Donald Trump’s ego with big silver letters at taxpayer expense.

I feel this a lot in this administration. The government actually is too big and it actually does need to be reigned in and seeing some (not all) of these institutions destroyed or crippled is actually gratifying for exactly the reasons you mention. I just wish it wasn’t accompanied with a side of “here’s some piss on your head, it must be raining.” These idiot cosplaying shitheads are not the right tools for the job.

This is precisely the concept of Asimov’s short story All the Troubles of the World.

I think it’s fair to say those rookie numbers don’t reflect reality. The orange turd can’t have his minions saying anything is less than perfect.

Ah yes, the Cox Communications model.

Hey I just did it! I completed my migration today. The only reason I keep a desktop around at all is for gaming and I’ve been locked into Windows for years because of it, but no more. Steam is a given, but I’m running games off Epic and Gog through Heroic and standalone games using Lutris (ESO and Elite Dangerous so far). Not a single problem with any of them.

Mint is great, the only complaints I have are minor and I can easily deal with them. Like when you launch things, you don’t always get a cursor animation to tell you you successfully set something in motion and you just have to wait for the window to pop up. That kind of thing.

Trump envoy reportedly told Kremlin official that Ukraine must cede land for peace deal

This statement is gibberish. It makes no sense.

“But I’m saying instead of talking like that, let’s talk more hopefully because I think we’re going to get to a deal here.”

A deal with who for what? This is an American talking to a Russian?

What the fuck is this point of this stupid verbal diarrhea?

I like JavaScript a lot and would be excited by its use in this context.

Oh well if a senator said it then by all means, let’s stop and take notice.

Ah yes, White Christmas. That episode fucked me up. It’s a depiction of hell, straight up. And heaven is depicted similarly in San Junipero - not sure if you have seen that one.

Oh hey, that was easy. I guess they have nothing to hide after all!
