If it’s Amazon that’s laying you off, they’ll just shut down your email, Slack, and intranet access before you can start work in the morning, and let you figure the rest out yourself.

It’s crazy to me that Amazon just lets Krazam film in their offices (and nearly a decade of employment at Amazon tells me that is 100% an Amazon office). They’re such inflexible, ungenerous bastards.
No explanation other than Elon is a thin-skinned little bitch baby who’s carrying water for fascists.
Shut the fuck up, Lonny. You’re out of your element.
I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins.
So if one in a billion people are an Einstein or Mozart, does that mean there are 8 Mozarts and 8 Einsteins alive in the world right now? I wonder who would make the list?

One of my friends bought a RAM module directly from HP for his HP laptop. The module was identical to the one that came with the laptop, and the specs for the laptop said that it could support even more RAM than he installed (I forget the amount—this was 15 years ago). The computer recognized the RAM and everything worked great… for a couple hours, at which point it would slow down or freeze. I took a look at the laptop and noticed that it was running way hot. I took out the new RAM module, and everything went back to normal.
We then purchased two brand new, identical modules, with identical specs to the HP modules, and installed them in the computer. Same issue—everything worked great for a couple hours, and then it would lock up. I took out just one of the new modules, and the freezing problem stopped.
We contacted HP to ask if this was a known issue, and the answer was basically “yep, that happens. Try removing one stick of RAM.”
So yeah, that’s when I committed to never purchasing an HP product, and steering my family and friends away from them.
Google has been doing this kind of thing for a while. If you try to use Google Meet in Firefox, you can’t use things like background blurring. Spoofing Chrome works in that situation as well.
I don’t disagree with you. But there’s also a flip side. Nazis and other bigots wouldn’t be so open in their bigotry, which could lead to them recruiting fewer people to their cause. Also, state actors such as Russia and China wouldn’t be able to sow mis- and disinformation so readily.
For the record, I believe Nikki’s plan is dumb and will never, ever happen. I’m just using my imagination to see some potential for benefits.
Unpopular opinion: internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.
But yeah, have fun enforcing that, Nikki.
My Prime subscription is due to renew in the next few months, and I’m going to let it lapse. It’s getting hard to find genuine, trustworthy products on Amazon. If I wanted no-name crap drop-shipped from China, I could probably get it on Alibaba cheaper. For everything else, I’ll buy locally when possible, and buy from the manufacturer otherwise.
If you’re not, it’s the guy killing a million people a couple of iterations later
I feel like running over all those bodies would make the train come to a stop way before it ran over a million people.
Now I sit back and wait for some morbid soul who is better at math and physics than me to figure out the answer.
From a cultural perspective, sure. But it’s not as easy from a logistical perspective. I looked into it when it looked as though the former president might install himself as dictator for life, and there are quite a few complex hoops to jump through.
Government officials in areas where 100 Mbps internet isn’t already available are too busy making sure trans people can’t use the toilet or play high school sports.
As far as I’m aware it’s mostly right-wing (nut) jobs living in that area.
This is different from the rest of Oklahoma how?
