  • I'm not even sure about how they could begin to integrate something like this into NORAD. The whole operation's pretty well sealed up in terms of classification, but what I understand is that it's built like a Cold War brick shithouse, even without considering it having been built into a mountain lol It stands to reason that they've been throwing money at it to modernize the analog systems, but I couldn't even speculate about how far along it is or how Grok could be integrated without compromising its integrity. Only time will tell, but it's good enough for a joke as it stands now, I guess.

    Whopper would suit it well, both for the scale of the bullshit involved, and the cost.

  • I feel attacked (and scuffed and dog-eared).

  • Bingo, the subjects of crime documentaries are sometimes very difficult to paint in even a neutral light. Most producers don't even try, as if it were an honest effort to run their tongues over the cop's shoes the entire time. I think that the 2011 documentary from Werner Hertzog (Into the Abyss) is the best I've seen in recent years, given the way he's able to at least portray the subjects impartially.

  • No, not just you. I saw someone comment on this years, and years ago, calling "Copaganda". They were right, and so is everyone else I've seen talk about it, the way these documentaries glomp all over them like a 5-year-old with a hero complex is fucking pathetic coming from adults.

  • Just off the top

    • AmonDüül II -Archangel's Thunderbird
    • Spooky Tooth - Something Got Into Your Life
    • Toxic Reasons - Get Out the Gun
    • The Pink Fairies - The Snake

    Fuck, I've got so many weird ones that I can't nearly shoehorn enough of them in here without writing a laundry list. If you want a band that's done solid work top-to-bottom for decades though, take a look at the Melvins.

  • Goddamn it man, not the user account password, the fucking admin account password. Did you even read the article? Every single user account's information was compromised, not one random jerk with 123456 for their password.

  • Speak for yourself, I'm holding out hope that the universe is actually a little fair, and that the dolt responsible to creating that password, and subsequently fucking over millions of people has their testicles ruptured. Who are these idiots?

  • "Spaceballs: the HR Robot"

    Seriously though, who the fuck uses 123456 as the password for anything? The morons pulling shit like this are making bank while the people brought onboard by McDonalds make scratch by comparison, and would be crucified for fucking up even a fraction as much as this. Millions, with six zeroes, millions of applicants' data stolen from an account with the kind of password that a kid would use on their home computer. Fuck, this makes me so mad, the sheer incompetence.

  • Not an American, but it's worth saying that despite their labour market's galling shortfalls, they don't have a culture of 12 hour days for 6 days per week. Many work much less, and those who do pull those kinds of hours are typically tradesmen/women who make pretty good bank. Those types of jobs are being systematically eliminated by corporations, but I digress.

  • It won't be them living the reality though, it will be their subordinates and employees. The same ones already being crushed to death by production metrics, stagnation of wages and inflation. The people involved in these decision making processes are too well shielded from the actual consequences, beyond maybe driving past and seeing the ruins of what used to be towns/cities/neighbourhoods destroyed by the free market and social policies.

  • Has been bugging me for decades, ever since I first played flight sims as a kid.

  • Very small, precision needle-nose pliers work as well, but there needs to at least be a very small part of the key-break to grab. If the key somehow snaps in a position that's even slightly recessed, I've used a tootpick and tiny dab of superglue (not enough to spread and touch the lock itself - be careful lol).

  • Feel free to yoink, that's how I got it.

  • Slow your roll, she may be a hypocritical piece of shit, but there's no sense in jumping out of the frying pan and into eugenics.

  • As a foreigner, it's lowkey fucking hilarious to see Americans call everything left-of-center "Leftist/socialist/radical", when even the Democrat party would typically be classed as slightly right of center in many democratic nations. Their attacks on countries like Sweden, Germany, Canada, etc. for enacting basic social programs to stem the damage from addictions and homelessness for example are pretty telling, as though it would be beneficial to society overall to leave people to their fates with no assistance, as though they were fish that jumped out of water onto the beach - as though they should just be left out in the sun to die, and rot in the open air while everyone passes by unconcerned.

  • What a pain in the ass... something about the degree of insoluble complications makes me feel that it may not have been entirely accidental (I know, I know, I have no concrete proof but other countries/jurisdictions are able to avoid these vote annulling scenarios fairly easily). Would it still have been possible for you to vote in your former district, or was it too far away (different city/state)?
