This is the way.

Someone learned that the hard enough way that there is an entire term for it now and it bears her name, lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

In the “no shit Sherlock” category, these people love to run their mouths and talk tough but they crumple with the slightest inconvenience (see wearing a mask). Fucking snowflakes the lot of them.

Well, they’re gonna do what they’ve done from the beginning, which is remain calm and protest at the ballot box on November 5th. There’s nothing to do other than make your voices heard loud and clear and speak out against this.

From the party that literally lead a violent insurrection intended to overthrow the government and install Trump as a dictator for life.

What I’m getting from this is that companies could have lowered prices at anytime but kept them artificially high to make more money.

Fuck capitalism!

AI generated image? It has that feel to me.

How about meatspin? That was a classic!

lol omg it is!

The signs were soon taken down by Emily’s mother out of safety concerns.

My wife pushes back but this right here is the reason I don’t have certain signs/flags on my property. If it was just me, fuck the fascists I would fly so much shit all the time. I just can’t in good conscious put my wife and kids lives in danger because of the rabid right-wing cultists out there. I understand that’s by design and exactly what they want but their safety is far superior to mine.

heh, you don’t know how true this is. I’ve worked in IT for 2 decades. IT is pretty much always seen as a cost center.

If everything is running smoothly - “what are we paying you for?!”

If everything is on fire - " What are we paying you for!?"

And now with companies getting the tiniest of slaps on the wrists for willful negligence it’s cheaper to cut IT funding, outsource it, whatever.

If the cost of the fine is less than the profits gained by doing “x” then that’s just the cost of doing business. Execs will continue to do this until there are real consequences for the company and them directly.

It is, but the crux of the felony charges stem from the fact that he “committed fraud with the intent to commit or conceal another crime.”

This is the whole thing that’s ridiculous to me. It’s not the fact that he had sex with her, it’s not even the fact that he paid her to shut the fuck up, it’s the fact that he covered it up and committed fraud. He could have just boasted about it publicly and it’s unlikely anyone would have cared.

I’ll look forward to my $0.50 check and exactly zero consequences for the higher-ups that I’m sure slashed IT/cybersecurity budgets.

I feel like “eat all politicians, burn the system down, and start anew” is a valid position, lol.

For these events it’s people not keeping their trees trimmed and away from power lines.

Unless Texas is somehow different than Ohio (possible, I know) people aren’t responsible for this. The power company is the one that should be maintaining proper clearances, installing protective devices to isolate sections, etc.

I assume you don’t suffer from it. Even with the house closed up, the AC on, multiple air purifiers running 24/7, and regular antihistamines it’s still a fucking bitch during pollen season. Hell even adding a Sudafed while venturing outside doesn’t fully negate the effects.

You learn to deal with it, but it’s still sucky.

Oh wait you can do that? Damn I feel like an idiot now… I have 100% accidentally downvoted without realizing it.

I’m sad that it’s gotten to the point where I assume people with a dozen+ American flags in their yard are right-wing nationalists…

Call of Duty? REALLY? The other two are maybe something (still seems like grasping at straws) but a video game?

My heart goes out to the families for what they went through but this doesn’t seem like it solves anything…

My mother is thoroughly addicted to Facebook and literally gets all her news from there. I keep sending her warnings about more targeted AI generated content and she keeps shrugging it off saying she “does her own research and doesn’t just blindly accept what gets posted.” Which from talking to her I know is total bullshit. I don’t know how to pull her out of it…
