Erasmus

I smell a large donation to a certain Presidential Election fund on the wind.

He took ur jobs!!!

Rules for thee but not for meeeee!

Agreed. I clicked on the thread only hoping for some naughty librarian pics and was sorely disappointed.

Shame OP!!

Nearly 5k!!!

Holy cow.

Both me and my wife tried doing online courses for our Masters and ended up opting out that route.

Both of use found they were riddled with people who didn’t show up to the regular online ‘team meetings’ or wouldn’t contribute to the ‘team projects’ until the day of submission.

I know you have slackers in regular university as well but at least there, visibility and contribution is immediately noticed by the professors.

I would also argue that being hands on makes a huge difference in most courses.

Not a Trump or Musk fan but it’s safe to assume all government agencies do this to some degree even if minor.

The issue here is Trump and Musk will take whatever they find, however minor that is, and exploit it. They’ve been blowing everything waaay out of proportion and exposing every government secret they can in an effort to try and make themselves look good and others in the government look BAD.

In reality it’s only making the US in general look extremely untrustworthy to everyone else in the world.

But then again that may be the whole purpose of their little exercise.

Darn, beat me to it by a couple minutes.

Eh it’s not just in Texas. I got a coworker who married a Hispanic who got in with a green card then let it expire (she was here illegally with her family who were living here under the radar).

He worked for years to get her citizenship. Now that she has hers, they are the staunchest supporter of Trump and are against any kind of immigration at all.

I like to heckle him about it but it seems pointless because he always just gives me this ‘I don’t get it’ look - like he really doesn’t see the hypocrisy in their position at all.

Republicans do not want to assist in any way in child support - that word is taboo!!

Just wait until the results of the tariffs start hitting and companies begin cutting people to adjust for their ‘bottom lines’

We saw some of that several years ago in Trumps first term but it will be much worse this time as inflation is higher and so are the tariffs.

Oh shit! I was looking forward to seeing her back again in the new Buffy - assuming she would do it.

Horizon Zero Dawn looking more eminent any day now.

Ha ha, good point.

Yup this is just him playing the market or at least him scheming with his rich buddies.

Same with making these stupid comments about Canada as a 51st state. No one in Canada wants to become an American or vice versa. Nothing against Canada. He is just keeps shit like this in the headlines as a distraction while his idiot minions screw up/tear down the government.

Introduce the God Emperor of Mankind from 40k, sit back, and let the fun begin.

People are forgetting this all springs from the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

THEY are the ones pulling the strings behind Trump. The corporations and billionaires funding that (not Musk) that are shelling out the cash and have been since the Reagan era.

Folks who think that the Pornhub ban in a few states and the ID request in others is the new norm are going to be in for a surprise when a nationwide ban gets passed shortly. That has always been on the agenda for them.

It’s a Christian Extremist agenda (think Handmaids Tale) and all you fuckers who voted for him or didn’t vote in retaliation allowed this shit to happen.

I cannot believe the amount shocked people I’ve ran across at work recently, who are Republicans who are still in denial and still think things are going to get better - or have some sort of bizarre belief that Trump is going to start suddenly making everything cheaper for everyone. Idiots!

Yes think of it more akin to what the Germans did to companies that failed or that they didn’t like during WW2.

Very similar premise.

Warhammer 40k has entered the chat….

Where people with psychic abilities are grabbed immediately upon discovery when they are young and trained to use their ability to send messages across the stars.

Or in some more dark scenarios drained to a husk of their life force to keep the Golden Throne operating.
