Obviously 4D Chess. Biden endorsing Trump is probably the fastest way to guarantee Harris wins the election.

I am not going to lie, I assumed the Biden wearing the hat was a doctored image, because surely nobody would be that dumb.

In the future you either watch adverts for entertainment, or seek out the Puppeteers lurking in the sewer system.

Well yes, but she will give the contracts to minority-run defense contractors! Far more progressive.

"Next time on…The White House.

Biden is furious at Pelosi for snubbing him, even after she promised they were besties . Pelosi can’t even sleep she is so upset by what she had to do. But little do they know that Michelle Obama is determined to get her friends speaking again with a light weekend planned of bombing developing countries!"

I could probably make this into a streaming TV drama and it’d be better than half the stuff on streaming now.

Reinforces that leaving reddit wholesale was a wise choice for me. Even in the later days of my stay there I was seeing libshit in totally unrelated hobbyist forums. I swear I remember a guy in a board game sub trying to argue that voting blue no matter what was critically important…for board games.

I can’t imagine what those spaces must look like now.

I could almost see that for highly specialized expensive hardwareyou don’t need longterm.

A mouse is not that. Who the hell is subscribing to a mouse. Not some kind of monthly mouse subscription for people really into them, but just the right to keep using the one mouse you have. That is insane.

Is this factoring in how many shots it takes them to shoot down a balloon? Because if not, they may be exahusted in faster than 4 weeks.

"Well you see, it is only fair that we charge the cost of what a lifetime of treatments would make for us. In fact, we should be celebrated because we would make $400,000 off the victim patient if we treated them normally.

Really we are heroes. Oh and also uh job creation!"

Even if it worked perfectly, you would end up using it once and then putting it under the sink. Never to be seen again.

Either some people in government are still aware that they’d stand no chance competing against China, or they realise it is harder for them to constantly shift the goal posts and frame it as a win these days, so they prefer to just not risk it.

It doesn’t have to be a space race anyway, China would most likely cooperate if the US were willing to suck up their pride.

Technically true, he didn’t necessarily say he has done more good than anyone. Murder is definitely something you do.

Seriously though, how do you expect kudos for providing aid to a victim that only exists because of you. It’s like stabbing a guy and asking to be praised when you had him a bandage. Or maybe more accurately, supplying a mugger with a knife and then handing the victim a burger.

Who is this meant to appeal to? People who are against the genocide aren’t going to be swayed by it, and it would probably turn off the pro-genocide crowd who just want more murder.

But Amazon’s total injury rate, which includes injuries the company does not have to report to OSHA, was just under 45 per 100 workers, the report said.

There are injuried you don’t have to report? Unless we are talking stubbed toes, that seems to kind of defeat the point doesn’t it?

I had a friend who worked at a military contractor (he has since got out) and he can attest to the fact that they overcharged for every single line item, even replacement bolts could be $50-100+ PER BOLT. The military will sign off on absolutely anything.

Anytime I see people post the meme bragging about how much the US spends on military like it means they have the best military, it doesn’t. They have the most wasteful military by a mile. I do not doubt that most countries, even with smaller militaries, have much more efficient spending.

That’s tentatively great to hear, though I am honestly surprised that they got that pushed through there.

Now whether or not it will actually happen is something I’d like to keep an eye on. As an example, the employers side citing the freaking games industry as a good model of work-life balance is absolutely ludicrious. Hopefully the trade unions get more traction on their proposals instead.

Not Korea, but we have a similiar work culture with a lot of the same issues and been trying all sorts of reforms to cut back on people literally dropping dead from overwork and while there are some improvements, a lot hasn’t stuck. People often don’t report their working hours correctly, work without clocking in, and management sometimes looks the other way if they are benefiting.

Admittedly, our efforts were pretty lackluster. We tried a Premium Friday for a while that encouraged companies to give their employees the last friday of the month off. Besides having as much impact as a pizza party, I don’t know a single company that did it.

Doesn’t surprise me in the least. Another way they decided to fix their birth rate was by giving one time lump payments to new parents. Which would definitely never be abused.

I can’t imagine working 100+ hour weeks is having any impact on their ability to have kids or anything like that.

Not surprised. Their current president is basically this writ large, one of his campaign promises was to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality. And he was elected.

If I recall he also wanted to remove the 100 hour/week working limit. I spent a few months in the ROK (and the DPRK) during grad school and you couldn’t pay me to live there. They make the Japanese work-life balance look healthy.

This guy just seems pretty standard for politicians there now honestly.

Or just find ways to replace workers with AI, which would probably be their first choice.

Where they will be put to work, but “legally” this time!

Oh good, surely this means the companies are successful and the quality of life for all employees will increase. It couldn’t possibly mean that the execs will get new yachts while the rank and file struggle to pay rent.

Right?

That is readily apparent just from watching him speak publicly. If you can’t even read a pre-prepared speech without losing your train of thouht or reading teleprompter cues you probably should not be working.

In this kind of situation I would normally say I feel bad for the elder abuse, but he has been such a piece of shit his entire life he isn’t worth the sympathy.
