  • Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’

  • I believe he chooses his own clothes, just not that he actually puts them on. It’s a bit amazing that he doesn’t wear the same Darth Vader costume every day like some toddlers insist upon doing.

    He seems like the sort of idiot who could strangle himself trying to figure out how a shirt works, is what I’m saying.

  • Trump reveals 'big, big surprise' for ailing Democrats as he warns Blue states will 'totally disappear off the map'

  • According to the popular vote, yes. But the popular vote hasn’t mattered for many, many years. Of the many things Trump has shone a spotlight on, this has been the most blatant.

    e: It only sways the results if enough members of the EC are more afraid of the populace than the party leadership.

  • I love it when the Nazis make themselves this punchable. Makes it easier for the sentiment* to take hold.

  • Also any sort of success.

    If you’re chronically ill or have family problems or are poor, you must have done something to deserve it, because god will reward the worthy. Makes it really easy to be bigoted.

  • And the Understatement of the Year award goes to…

    Seriously, when I first heard of this guy, I thought he must be smart. Then he started talking about things in my career field, and thought wow, that’s a stupid thing to say. The more he talked, the more I realised he’s a moron about nearly everything. Now I’m not convinced he can actually get dressed unassisted.

  • I’m not mad nor did I even assume it was real, which is why I asked. I don’t have the bandwidth to research shitposts, only to make stupid comments on Lemmy.

    We’re living in Idiocracy, though, so I honestly would not be surprised.

  • What's the most significant project you've ever had some kind of major/minor/direct/indirect contribution to?

    Jump

  • I was senior UxD on the most popular screenshotting software from around 2002-2012 with more than 10 million users, on windows and Mac (I designed the 1.0 Mac interface). It’s software many of you have likely used, especially if you’ve ever done documentation.

    I was also the designer and DbA for two of the largest government grant programs in the early 2000s, including management software for dept of education and dept of justice.

    But my most significant project was definitely my son. Releasing a whole person makes everything else pale by comparison. He’s nearly 30 now, and I’m very proud of him.

  • Barred from running for a third term, Trump keeps talking about it

    Jump

  • I hate to ‘akshualllyyy’, but actually there’s nothing in US law or the constitution that precludes a convicted felon from running for or holding office.

    There was a lot of legal talk leading up to the last election about that, along with plenty of surprise that was the case. It turns out it was another of those gentlemen’s agreements that was never codified because up until very recently, most people just assumed voters were smart enough not to elect someone like that, so codifying it wasn’t worth anyone’s time.

    If we ever wrest control back from these ghouls, there are a shit-ton of things that need codifying.

    e: a few words

  • As if ‘barred’ or ‘legal’ or any words of the sort still matter.

  • What a beautiful goof. I’m so sorry. ❤️

  • Economists say the GOP budget would destroy Medicaid and "disproportionately benefit the 1%"

  • Because contrary to what they say in public, they actually do believe a global climate disaster is coming. They all have extremely well-stocked doomsday bunkers the size of small towns with a host of servants to keep them fat and happy, and they’re now trying to juice us for all we’re worth before we die.

    Some of them are dominionists, too, and are either convinced Jesus is coming back any day now or are determined to kick off WW3 like it will be a signal flare. They’re desperate for the rapture, and they’re more than willing to kill us all to get it.

    The really dangerous ones are a mix of both, and now they’re fully in charge.

  • Holy shit, I called it.

    I thought they’d have Congress do it, but this was more efficient, so yay?

  • Do you know of a product that can restore shine to powder-coated enamel cookware?

    Jump

  • It sounds like there wasn’t an extra coating that I removed, but that I just etched the fired coating, making it dull rather than glossy – so it’s the same outer coating that existed, it’s just not glossy anymore. In theory, it’s still as food-safe as it was, but it’s porous now (it kinda feels like silicone).

  • Oh no.

    Thanks for letting me know. I may have access to that kind of furnace, but I’m not sure I could convince them to put my stupid little colander in there, because that’s silly.

    I appreciate your insight, even though it makes me sad. I kinda thought that might be the case, though. Cheers.

  • That’s a great point. The dishwasher itself isn’t usually the problem, though, right? It’s letting things air dry in there, so water sits in crevices. If you take things out immediately and towel-dry them, they’re fine.

    I don’t typically wash things with metal crevices in the dishwasher because I’m too lazy to be hawkish like that, and cookware/lids and knives are strictly forbidden anyhow. If I have to work to restore this thing, I’ll never let it air dry again.
