Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever
  • You could be correct.

    However, Europe's "right" is America's "left".

    The political situation might be semantically similar, but the political policymaking is a vastly different situation between the two.

    Europe, universally, believes in healthcare as a right, for example.

  • Trump Makes Chilling Joke About Staying in Power Forever
  • He's talking broadly, to Americans. Which you and I are. And he's right, we deserve this. As a country.

    As an individual, neither of us do, since we fought and voted against him. But that's not what OP was saying. He wasn't addressing you specifically, but our nation in the second person.

  • This.

    Back in the day this is how the internet worked. Every forum host was just some guy or girl hosting a platform so they coukd build a community with the people and hobbies they love.

    We need to go back closer to that world. The fediverse bridges the gap between the centralized experience, and decentralized management.

    Optimistically, it's the best of both worlds.

  • Pentagon stunned by Trump's nomination of Fox News host as defense secretary
  • That was much later. Up until that point, Röhm, the General of the SA at the time, was a "constitutional loyalist" who didn't help or hurt Hitler.

    Then Hitler made up a conspiracy that Röhm and about 300 of his loyalists were going to commit a "coup", and staged a overthrow of the German Military during Röhm's Honeymoon, a day or two after he got married.

    Of course, the rest of the German people were ok with that, because he outed Röhm as gay, and had already done well to turn the people against Homosexuals in the country. That combined with the lie that Röhm was about to depose Hitler, and he succeeded in a flawless execution of 300 top military leaders to seize complete control of all facets of German operations. Presidency from Hindenburg, Military from Röhm, and his Chancellorship he got at the voting booth.

    That's all to say I have no faith in our military preventing a Fascist dictatorship from asserting control over our country.

    At no point in history has that seemingly happened. I would not expect us to set the curve.

  • What's the dumbest way you've seen someone get fired?
  • I was working in the IT admin office for a time while doing software development, and got to witness this guy who came in to have his laptop fixed/swapped; and he said "You guys don't like, check the laptops for files and stuff, right?".

    And the IT guy was legendary, didn't skip a beat, was like "Nah, nah, we don't have time for that crap.".

    As soon as the guy was out of the room, we checked his laptop's files.

    Porn. So much porn. Like, gigs of it, and this was in the early 2000's when that meant a lot.

    We went to HR, and they called him up and reviewed, and SOMEHOW, he dodged the bullet and they retained him. The reason? It was his porn. You read that right. He had gigs of porn of him banging his stripper GF on his laptop, and because it wasn't "downloaded" porn, he got off.

    Then a month later he was let go when he was found taking pictures with his cell phone over the cubicle wall of a female employee without her knowledge.

    But I'll never forget the mental gymnastics that happened to convince HR that porn only meant pictures of "other people" being naked, not himself and his GF.
