“Sign this NDA, and your consideration is that we won’t toss you out on your ass with a less-than-honorable discharge.”

He’s a former Major in the Army National Guard. I can guarantee he knows what the UCMJ is; He just doesn’t care.

Or even worse… Supporting Palestine.

A lakh is 100k. So 5 lakh is 500k. Converted to USD, that’s around $5900 USD

Some of us are old enough to remember when the entire point of cable TV was to avoid commercials. Over-the-air antenna TV was supported by ads. But then cable came along, and went “hey, what if we offered a paid TV service, without the ads?”

Then they realized they could just fucking double-dip and show ads anyways. And now they’re charging extra to skip those ads.

And we’ve seen streaming services start to take the same route. Some have started showing ads to paid users, then charging extra to avoid the ads.

According to .ml, anyone even slightly right of outright communism should be considered fascist. .ml is one of the more extreme hard left instances, so comments from the instance should be taken with that in mind. It is very heavily censored, so their users only ever see the “China and Russia did nothing wrong” type of rhetoric.

.world has issues, for sure. It’s the largest instance, and that comes with its own issues. But it’s definitely not fascist.

Yeah, they were exposed so quickly that the only explanation is that it was done on purpose. Russia literally had access less than 15 minutes after the accounts were created. That’s not enough time for a brute force attack, unless the password was literally “password”. And even then, Russia would need to know the usernames in order to begin the brute force attack.

My current tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory is that’s exactly what they’re banking on. They’ll draw the trial out until right before the midterm election… Then Trump will use the resulting riots to declare martial law and cancel the upcoming midterms, so he doesn’t lose control of congress. After he has cancelled the election, he’ll make a final push to clean house, and will start ousting liberal congress members by accusing them of being riot conspirators.

The Mangione Riots will be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.

That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.

But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.

Are they also returning all of the tuition money paid for said degrees, along with fairly compensating the graduates for the (now wasted) time they spent in classes? No? Yeah, I didn’t think so either…

Beans were just some sort of meme that popped up randomly. I think it was one of those “mods are asleep quick post [x] before they wake up” types of things, and it quickly spiraled until half of everyone’s feed was just beans.

I was around when it happened, and even I don’t understand it.

Yup, camp toilets are a similar concept. It’s just a 5 gallon hardware store bucket with a snap-on toilet seat lid. You line it with what is essentially a trash bag, just to make disposal easier. Then you use a gelling agent (just like what is in disposable diapers to allow them to soak up a bunch of moisture) to reduce sloshing and smell. It’s handy for when you’re going to be away from toilets for a day or two, but don’t want to (or aren’t able to) dig a hole to shit in.

But the same concept applies for when you’re going to be trapped somewhere (like a classroom) for an extended period of time. Like, for instance, during a school shooting. When you have 30 kids in a classroom, there’s a very good chance that at least one of them will need to piss after an hour or two. And nobody wants to deal with human waste in something like an open trashcan during a lockdown.

And as an added bonus, the bucket can be used to store all of active shooter supplies when it’s not in use. So everything is in a single location to quickly grab and prep. Active shooter happens? Great, just grab the big bucket out of the closet, dump all of the supplies out, and you’re ready to go. Now all of your tourniquets, styptic bandages, etc are accessible.

But it quickly got distorted into “they’re making kids use litter boxes to indoctrinate them” instead.

The lesson here is don’t troll these idiots, they’ll fucking believe it and then start passing idiotic laws for non-problems.

Throwback to when 4chan started memeing about pizzas, and the resulting chain of events led to a real pizza parlor being shot up by a right-wing nut job who thought it was full of pedophiles.

This is also why so many Christians immediately assume all non-Christians are immoral. Because they derive their morals from Christianity, they default assume that people can’t have morals without Christianity. Like if you ever talk to one about it, they’ll be genuinely confused about how someone can be moral without religion.

Yeah, same happens with kidnapping and murder victims. There’s a reason it’s called Missing White Woman Syndrome. The media is extremely biased towards covering attractive young white women who have gone missing, while virtually every other demographic gets ignored. Asian and Latina women are often covered disproportionately as well, but not to the extent that missing white women are covered. Black women get almost no coverage, and the same goes for men of basically every race and age.

So does the music industry. Emo bands were notorious for it.

Now it seems like YouTubers are the new emo bands. There have been a lot of Minecraft, Roblox, etc YouTubers who have been caught.

Even more fun! Measles eliminates your body’s built up immunities to other diseases. It basically hits the reset button on your immune system. Your immune system can take up to two years to recover from it. That’s why it was considered a “good” disease to get as a child, (so you could build your immunity back up as a child) but debilitating for adults to get (when you’re more prone to bad reactions from infections.)

Which means a bunch of people will have no immune system when the next pandemic hits.

I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.

Growing up, I had always heard “brothers fighting on opposite sides of the battlefield” types of stories from the American civil war. I always wondered how people could let it get that bad. Nowadays though…
