The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified | Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.

  • Those dumbfucks are a vocal minority. We tend to forget that the internet is not necessarily representative of a population. So pretty much every "extreme" really ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

    • I don't like straws regardless. Paper or plastic.

  • Spitwad blasters. Hard to get a good distance without some sort of directional control and air focus.

  • You'd think there's enough global support that something might kick off elsewhere in the world. But those not having to deal directly with the nonsense going on in the US have the benefit of being able to sit back and spout off.

    Sorry we're not revolting fast enough. Kind of hard to do when things are generally equally split in the country, and the majority of folks need to keep going to work to keep food on the table.

    Probably all as designed, but we're all too damned tired and those doing things we don't like know it.

    • Why do prisons exist?

    Jump

  • Simplest way to put it is that prisons exist because some people simply cannot be allowed to live in "normal" society. Unfortunately, people have decided that this fate is no longer reserved for the worst of the worst/those that pose imminent danger, but now include "moral" offenses.

    This is one of those topics where there is no "good" solution - only "less evil" options. And until humans as a species no longer have the various hold-over traits from our time before "civilization", we'll have to accept that we have to collectively make shitty choices.

    • Doctor tells you you have exactly 31 days left until you drop dead, what do you do?

    Jump

  • Given the state of the world these days, 31 days is long enough for at least 3 very particular tasks. Any left over time, I'd probably just be bored and procrasturbate.

    • Upstate NY community

    Jump

  • Hey all,

    The dude that set that community up here. I just want to say to any that the topic might interest: Welcome. I look forward to seeing what others might have to share about Upstate whether news, events, or even just a "Man, this cold is brutal" commiseration thread.

    Feel free to hit me up on kbin.earth, PieFed, or several other federated platforms. My username is spread around as I was working on getting my various federation feeds gathered in one spot.

    See you out there,
