That’s part of the problem right there, they definitely DO believe their own propaganda. It’s beat into them in academy, throughout their entire day. Entire self identities are constructed from these myths and subsequently used internally to justify, as we’ve seen, anything.

I’d love to have a Q60s in Vantablack

No, it’s ours. Your backwards fuckers in welfare states can get in line or get the fuck out.

The giveaway was his pining for those polite days when his boss was a corrupt shitheel.

Report it.

They were going with Health Advanced Research Projects Organization initially but figured they were already clownish enough.

Not even this guy:

The entire surface transit system of roads and bridges in NYC needs to be heavily redesigned and reconsidered in every borough. We have, for example, many areas in Brooklyn where major industrial traffic is forced to travel through heavily populated residential areas because nobody really thought to redesign highway…

I’m pretty sure you have your answer. Do you see widespread calls for DeBlasio to eat a dick? Or O’Neill? Lots of local representatives contacting the Mayor concerned about this decision on behalf of their constituents? No you do not.

With Parallels you can use your bootcamp partition: https://kb.parallels.com/112941

So, when you need the extra oomph provided from direct-ish hardware access, you switch over to bootcamp Windows. If you need to use some apps occasionally, use the same Windows instance through Parallels.

Fair point, in my head I’m thinking some dear old mom type. But that’s likely super naive.

I think it’s very reasonable that many close/important people in his life had no clue. Think of it like any other personal secret one only shares with others in that loop. Like someone hiding drug addiction or homosexuality from family/friends. What we need to work for (and hope for) is that his female counterpart in…

I kinda just want to go with the conspiracy theories, but I’m too much of a realist about the darkness of the human condition. Dude was messed the fuck up, enabled by obscene wealth to destroy lives. In his situation, being dead would be a blessing, and he made it so.

I don’t see what the big deal is? Also, this is me:

Corporations and the elected representatives who disavow their oaths and work solely to enrich themselves. Which is like 90% of all elected officials.

Especially when the “president” himself holds no respect for his own office.

Maybe the one thing we can establish in the first half of the 21st century, as a global society, is establishing accountability to companies/private corp. ownership for their political choices. If corporation Z or private company owner Y continue to manipulate politics through cooperation and donations to politician…

My response to bullshit comments like “People should just respect the president”, that has more often than not worked out well, is “The President can earn my respect when he starts respecting his own office”. As much as that sort of person (one who advocates for default respect for authority) is a huge tool, they’re…

I think the film has a lot of resonance with the Italian-American community

As a polak-italian-american my hot take is tha it was a set up to present Chris as something. Maybe he’s thinking of running for office soon and wanted some “street cred” with working class Italian-Americans? I dunno. I do know that most folk wouldn’t even think about it, except to just trash the “offender” for some…
