I’d sure love to see how this will improve the cost of living in the US…

Who am I kidding? It’s not like Trump has a track record of lying and taking people what they want to hear to get them to support him, then immediately stab them in the back.

What we should do imho, as a country, is launch a massive marketing campaign on all major networks in the US and tell people that the financial pain they’re now feeling is all the fault of DC and get them to pursue their representatives to get Trump to undo this madness. It’ll prove far more effective than retaliatory tariffs, because most folks in the US simply aren’t aware of what the government is doing.

Your call, but I’m always surprised what other folks are able to guess based on the image so I’d give them some time.

I don’t remember the 24 sound track, but it would be fitting.

Sometimes I wonder what the alternative universe where JT inherited his dad’s spine would look like.

I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it’s just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.

If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.

“Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we’ll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?”

This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it’s a spectacle.

(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It’s a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)

That’s what I’m thinking reading this and other articles. It’s like the Republican party is reaching to find increasingly desperate ways to get into Trump’s graces, to the point that it feels like they’re running out of ideas by this point and have started a race to the bottom debasing themselves for his amusement.

How does this man hold so much sway over them? He has the charisma of a wet rag, the character and patience if a toddler, and the long term vision of a house fly. Out of all the things I read about him and his cult, this is the one thing that baffles me the most.

Man, I suck at this game since I am sure it’s not Intergalactic by the Beasty Boys, but my brain refuses to come up with other suggestions.

Found the Canadian. “It’s never a war crime the first time”.

Yeah, she’s really letting her “I love authoritarians” flag fly these days. I am however somewhat surprised Rustad isn’t right there next to her.

Dude. What the hell is that thread. He’s trying to hit every asshole prejudice stereotype on the books. What the fuck. I am definitely uninstalling every ENB, that’s for sure.

I’m tangentially aware of there being a conflict, but not entirely filled in on it. Care to elaborate and enlighten me as to why he needs to eat shit?

In the “Beaverton headlines I wish were real” category, I present the January 2025 winner.

They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they’re cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.

There is a minimum required amount of bronzer you’re required to apply to be accepted into the MAGA leadership. See also the transformation Ron DeSantis pulled.

Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole “New” 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me

It’s not impossible to understand Danish as a Swede but it’s different enough in terms of sounds, grammar, maths, etc. that it’s indeed like an uncanny valley. It’s close enough at first glance, but then gets really alien when you start to pay attention to it. It’s like catching snippets of a conversation in otherwise white noise.

I have worked in Denmark too, and share your friend’s experience - both sides default to English.

Don’t go this route unless you plan to stay on Windows 10. Windows 11 24h2 killed my HP Reverb G2 v2 due to eol of wmr.

Accurate though. Danish sounds legit like super drunk Swedish at a distance, and uncanny valley up close to anyone speaking Swedish or Norwegian or German.

This dude also got Doom to run in a PDF FYI. Pretty insane level of scripting support for a supposedly static document format.
