A lot of jokes itt, but this is more fascism.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't this like the first step in the establishment of fascism

If you weren't doing so much stupid, illegal shit, then you wouldn't have to worry about leaks.

Paying someone to hold his phone when he's been drinking, so it's a full-time position.

His office then proceeded to send out an urgent memo with the title written in all caps comic sans "TAKE US SERIOUSLY, IT IS MADATORY"

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, good. That means the endeavor is as good as lost. If they WERE making any progress, it's done now.
