And that required mobilizing a 4-star GTA response in the middle of the fucking night?

This is police state horseshit.

If that's "rage" and "mad" to you then just lol. Go see your therapist, sweetie.

"Other dipshits around here agree with me" is not the flex you think it is.

Every goddamn time the Republicans are in charge, they break the economy, and the best you can cite is some made-up anecdote about how you just happened to buy cheaper eggs today?

Who do you imagine you fool with stuff like this?

Have you tried engaging in a good-faith discussion instead of whatever half-witted rage-bait you attempted the first time?

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That would explain a lot, actually.

Congrats! You're too thick to understand what hyperbole is. And four highly regarded fellas upvoted you?

LMAO it's nice to know that the younger generation isn't smart enough to be able to take our jobs.

I just straight-up refuse to use the AI tools at work.

Boss's boss bitches at my boss about it regularly, but I do the work of three people for the salary of 3/4 of a person, so chasing me off would only cost them a couple hundred thousand dollars in recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and training my replacements and gain them nothing.

Know your worth and be willing to walk away.

A wooden baseball bat starts at like $75 for quality wood and never runs out of ammo, in case you're worried that there are more rich sociopaths than there are bullets in your backpack.

Not only do we have to have these surveillance buildings thrust into our communities against our will, we also have to pay the fucking Nazi bastards to put them in?

We see it in studying state legislatures who have term limits. (I studied this in graduate school before switching to a different master's program)

Term limits doesn't change how much power and money are available. It just changes who controls that power and money (the budget.) If the congressmen lose some of that power via term limits, that power doesn't go away. It doesn't go unused. It gets scooped up and used by the lobbyists to get things passed a naive congress.

Worst, you create perverse incentives where congressmen are locked out of running for re-election, so they take their expertise and contacts gained in office and work for the lobbyists that used to lobby them.

No, as good as term limits sound, it's much, much better to leave it up to the voters to decide who their rep will be. If they want a 40 year veteran or a rookie every two years, that's their choice to make.

Term limits increase the power of lobbyists.
