The justice system, who we as citizens pay for probably

Oh shit I remember making fun of you a long time ago for the pretentious use of thorns. Respect for using it for this long but like, is this some type of autistic hyper fixation? Why are you cosplaying a Jute

“He goes to the library with nothing but his “pen and paper,” and stays there until his essay is done. “Then I’m free to doomscroll Instagram on my phone without any guilt”

1. He doesn’t seem very opposed to technology if he just goes straight home and doomscrolls

2. Are laptops really new technology to this kid if they’ve existed for his entire life?

Why is it probably trash

Why

Terrible mindset and straight up wrong. Start saving money.

I’ve watched the entirety of breaking bad, it’s mid

There’s no reason to make these people pretend-soldiers. You can make them US Army contractors if they need to work with the army. You can make them DoD or CIA or NSA federal employees. There are already avenues for war mongering businessmen to take to work with the military.

I’m confused and I don’t know how to ask questions about this topic without sounding like a mouth breather, I’m sorry for my autism: why label yourself at all then if there’s no rigid definition?

Wouldn’t it be easier to have no label rather than a label whose definitions do not fit you? My spouse is pansexual and doesn’t enjoy when people lump pansexuals and bisexuals together. I admittedly don’t understand entirely why and would like to hear from somebody bisexual who has an opposing opinion on that so I can better understand

I mean this with no judgement and much curiosity

I was initially confused about the source of this report, as all it says is that “The new rules, obtained by the Guardian […]” Without sharing the new rules they obtained verbatim or linking to any VA guidance or statements or anything actually useful…

But it looks like this is more a removal of patients’ protections rather than an explicit allowance of discrimination. Not that there’s a practical difference between those things. Anyways if anyone is confused on how this exactly happened like I was, this yahoo article seemed to explain it better IMO:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/va-doctors-refuse-treat-dems-151419852.html?guccounter=1

VA hospital bylaws previously barred medical staff from discriminating against patients “on the basis of race, age, color, sex, religion, national origin, politics, marital status or disability in any employment matter,”

…

But now, in response to President Donald Trump’s January executive order on “gender ideology,” “national origin,” “politics,” and “marital status” have been removed from the list

Not here to start shit, genuinely curious what people think about Gödel’s incompleteness theorems in relation to us being able to “know” math

Well at the bottom of the article he shows the bug report timeline has been complete, so it’s likely already fixed.

Then wouldn’t the “in practice” inclusive bisexual people be pansexual by definition

I mean the military doesn’t train you on how to cheat a polygraph, but it’s also not really necessary. The polygraph is security theater and people slip by it all the time in the intelligence community without trying.

There are unclassified quarterly audits on how effective the polygraph is at catching criminals on DOD security clearance polys. The funniest audit I saw was a guy who was smuggling drugs to Texas from Mexico since the '80s, passed a dozen polygraphs during his time doing that, and then admitted to drug running during his polygraph like 35 years later because he felt like it before retiring.

There was an old beardy white fuck who was a polygraph examiner at my job. He swore the polygraph wasn’t security theater and that it could tell when people were lying. I’d always ask him about the quarterly audits showing people “beating” the machine for years and get into fights with him. That dude also said his job was like “welfare for white people”.

It’s Cherdleys, he’s been making videos like this for at least a decade

The “ANDREW CUOMO: FAILURE” at the bottom of the government site is some random shade, but I enjoy that at least. Fuck Andrew Cuomo

Ok I use my wired headphones

Is it normal for presidential medical records to be released to the public? I’ve never heard of this before

Damn this might be the fakest reason I’ve ever heard to not support GIMP

One story about this for you. MI during the first Trump presidency. There was much said in my office when he tweeted top secret satellite imagery in 2019. My chief went around the shop after this and sat with everybody, and made sure they knew what happened, how this leak got an Intel source burned, how much time/money/effort was wasted from that burned source, how much harder it will be for us to keep the boots-on-ground out there safe, etc.

The tone of the workplace was set after that: “We are here to do our job and keep the guys in the field from getting killed. Our leaders have, and will continue, to make that mission difficult.”
