Given his sheer laziness, my money is that he's just sitting in it until EOD.

It depends on your threat profile. I don't go so far as to use it at home unless I'm downloading torrents or watching porn, since my legislators don't have a fucking clue how the Internet works and thinks they can PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn by blocking porn.

I've started to use VPN when I'm on guest wifis, even encrypted ones. I don't want their owners to know what sites I visit.

You know, you are right.

I should instead support the guy who is going to nuke Palestine. Right? Completely eradicate them?

Who has sworn to put America first no matter the cost? Even if it means a nuclear winter? The guy who wants to suck Putin's cock so bad that he sent him one of those kits so that he could get a mold made so that he can practice?

Government contracting is a fucking racket. Especially at federal level because the government is allowed to go over the contract budget by I think 25% so every fucking company that bids knows they are going to get that amount more than their bid.

Not only that, but because of how the procurement process works, they aren't going to rebid the contract if you mess up.

Contractors don't save the government any money. It privatizes government functions and makes a few people rich while taking away good jobs and benefits.

Or it's just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.

Government sites are garbage for a lot of reasons, mostly due to old people not understanding how the Internet works and they'd rather build a camel than a horse.

Mostly the latter.

I was on a contract for the government when my company hired a really good DBA. He hated dressing up. He was introduced at a meeting and wore a polo shirt, which I thought was fairly professional.

Government contracting guy said to wear a tie.

Next meeting, he wore a tie around his polo shirt.

He was fired on the spot.

There are times I fucking hate the government and this was one of those times.

The guy was fucking amazing. But my company fired him because the government didn't want someone so sloppy on the team.

Let's agree that the two party system is shit. But let's not let that distract us that a vote for Trump will effectively move us to a one party system with zero opportunity to change things for the better.

Guys...I've thought of a way to help fund Harris' campaign.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

Yeah.......it's good that they denounce these falsehoods...... Once it affects them!

It's convenient isn't it? Spread falsehoods about Haitians, or just saying nothing, but when those falsehoods start affecting them, suddenly it's time for restraint.

I'm sorry but Republicans have, at best, enabled the alt right monster. Biden is helping them. If he wants people to stop spreading falsehoods, he should have started with things that didn't affect him.

But then again if he did that, he'd be a Democrat.

I don't know how the site works. I can't seem to get past the "Are you a robot" step so...ugh. But yeah, things are so fucked here I'm hoping we can do what you all did in the UK and get a liberal win.
