  • Money vs moral high ground. Anyone who says no to the money says no to having any say in politics. They would be considered an idiot in my book. There are 0 candidates who win elections from a moral high ground in the U.S.

    Make sure there are no strings attached, take the money and make changes. The strings right now can be as simple as getting those people out of office. Anyone who thinks not taking his money would help them is an absolute idiot that SHOULD NOT ever be in charge. As they are completely incompetent and make horrible decisions. Musk is a horrible person. Not taking his money extends the fascist regime the MAGA crowd supports.

    This isn't a bowling league where you are trying to friends with the monster. This is a failing once Republic that needs saving. Take his money, get shit done. You don't need to do anything he wants. You just need to fund your campaign.

  • I mean I'm fairly certain what he's doing is legal. It is illegal to not file you taxes, it isnt a jailable offense to not pay them.

  • No thanks. We need to shut down all U.S. affiliation with prisons outside the U.S. Release those prisoners or transfer them back to the U.S. and have proper trials. Trump needs to stand trial for the fake electors and for every unconstitutional measure he has done before/since as an unconstitutional act that the Supreme Court deems unconstitutional should not be considered an official act. The President should be suspended from all duties until Congress performs an investigation draws up the articles of impeachment and it is tried by the Senate.

    Musk should be tried for election interference and any other laws he may have broken but it should be done right here in the U.S. If anything freeze all of his accounts and require him to step down from any/all roles within his companies as part of his required bale terms, or otherwise he would be choosing to spend the time awaiting trial in jail.

    These actions would ensure they aren't trying to drag court cases out for years, they would want the court cases to move along faster.

    Would Trump get convicted by the Senate, unlikely. That's on us for voting terrible people into the legislative branch. But we can't complain about those who break the law if we think it's fine to break the law when it fits our wants. We need to update those laws legally or tear the whole thing down and say Musk and Trump didn't break any laws because we didn't think those laws mattered as well.

  • I as well like email, it just has to be managed. Then you threw in the alternative involved a solution with a witch locking me in, and I'm intrigued to know more.

  • I know I'm getting older but this would bother me as well. It seems like a terrible way to shorten the word in my head. I think my brain just doesn't like vowels and wants words to be shortened to end with consonants. Things like HOA make sense because they are all individual words.

  • Yeah, the guy never lived in the U.S. I don't think.

  • If only we could swap the White House for a whore house. It'd be much more classy and respectable.

  • I used to say 65, I'm thinking 61 would be better now. You should have to be mentally fit EVERY day of the job, so 4 years after you took the job, you still need to be at your best..

    And to anyone who thinks a 61 year old is 100% cognitive, they are not. That's why air traffic controllers are forced to retire at 56. The government studied cognitive decline and said 56+ was not mentally capable. They think they still are, but they aren't.

  • Don't forget the contractors, we flooded the market with contractor positions for a few different reasons. Some having to do with firing practices, same with insurance practices.

    Then there's the bids for jobs where contractors can take the job and some of those can be sketchy with subcontractors who may or may not be legally allowed to work or be getting paid rates that are legitimate.

    Example: Beagal Cinema's says they want an overnight cleaning crew that will clean all the theaters/floors/bathrooms and such nightly. Another company tells them they can do it for $500(made up number) a night. Then that contractor hires anyone, say 4 people and they bring their kids. Run through and clean it all up between 3am-9am every morning. Each one of them takes home $100 a day, and the contract-owner keeps $100. Beagal isn't illegally hiring children in said case, and neither is the contractor, but the kids are having to work many nights a week with their parents to get the job done in time so they can be dropped off for school or maybe do homeschooling. (But those parents often don't speak English, so I assume they would want their kids to go to a school to learn english at the very least).

    Worked at a theater that did that from 2006-2012. So it isn't a new thing.

  • Yeah, I think they are just pointing in the line of succession doesn't do much if the VP was chosen by the president. We only made it 4 electiona before the 12th amendment was made and killed any hopes that the line of succession would be useful and Washingtons hopes that we wouldn't become a 2 party system were completely dashed.

    Without the 12th Amendment I have no idea who would be president right now. Biden would have never been Vice President and such likely would have never been President. Harris the same. But the President would likely have an obstacle at all times in the Senate as the only way to get both the President and Vice President elected for the same "party" they would have to have 2 candidates beat 1 of another party, splitting the vote of their own party. In today's media age, it would be really hard to have gotten that done.

  • Interesting, that's good to know. I immediately tried to lock the woman's phone next to me by using her number, she didn't have it turned on either. I have an odd feeling someone is going to write a script that locks someone's phone screen at random intervals throughout the day. Schedule it as a task whenever they log into their work computer so you can watch them struggle with it throughout the day then end the task when they lock their screen/log off.

  • Yeah, I couldn't get into my account on someone else's phone to wipe/trace down my phone. As I believe I'd need 2 factor authentication. Which while mobile I can't do without my phone. I'd have to wait till I got home and a device id previously been logged into.

  • I mean they did such in Ozark. The church selling drugs at church lol.

  • Best I can do is use it for small plane trips and powder the top of everything with baking soda. Side effects may include killing all plant life along common routes.

  • It used to be pertinent to check the color of WD drives. I can't remember all of them but of the top of my head I remember Blue dying the most. They used to have black, red and maybe a green model, now they have purple and gold as well. Each was designated for certain purposes / reliability.

    Source: Used to be a certified Apple/Dell/HP repair tech, so I was replacing hard drives daily.

  • When the U.S. sends troops to Iran, and China backs Iran is my guess

  • I find that just to be because we are emphasizing the day over the month there. It isn't independence month, it's independence day.

    It just comes from the UK like most of our shit does. The papers that were coming from there in the 1700s when we gained our independence said month, day, year. We stuck with it. The Units came from there as well and we only modified them to keep a standard. Then we tried to go full metric, and Ronald Reagan killed it.

    That said if people are talking nonsense at a table at the bar or lunch and someone asks when you were born, they are usually expecting you to say "September" or "1949". If they ask how old are you, they are expecting "47.". Everything usually has context. Because usually someone only asks those questions if one they are talking about Astrological signs, or they are thinking that one age is better than another. To old to young nonsense.
