There are two problems here, fitting for the Second.

First, the people stocked with ammo are the ones thrilled that we’re in the Fourth Reich. Second, any sort of widespread uprising will let use of the Insurrection Act sail through any hurdles, and now the military is being used internally.

The Constitution is not in play at this point. Second is the only thing being defended by the junta.

You win the internet today.

Isn’t IBM at this point a consulting firm toying with hardware?

I have thick enough skin to usually let comments like this slide, but if you believe treating Beehaw users like this is appropriate, this may not be a good forum for participation.

Which is all well and good but changes nothing about Forbes. Why not, armed with this new information, update your post to make my comment look irrelevant by sourcing something reputable?

I get that you don’t live here, but there’s nothing like a national initiative process for amendments. That you would like there to be reflects a likely majority view of the voter base, but this does not make it so.

If you’re referring to the 14th, that was shredded already. The Constitution is irrelevant to the junta, as juntas are wont to do. Voting harder in a mythical election that can’t happen is simply not an option.

I would encourage you to know about the U.S. Constitution before spouting off about it. I don’t wander into Canadian politics because I don’t know how it works and can admit that.

He’s not wrong. Getting to 18A was ambitious and happened, after the 14nm fiasco. We don’t yet have products in the wild, but Gelsinger refocused a chip manufacturer on chip manufacturing (the necessary TSMC outsourcing notwithstanding).

An MBA would not be an improvement over an engineer.

We do, but we don’t have two-thirds of both houses of Congress ready to fix this mess, let alone 38 statehouses to ratify. The clusterfuck will continue apace.

Wouldn’t it be nice if that sarcasm didn’t reflect reality?

Important to note that Forbes at this point is a blog site. It can’t be considered news anymore; they’re using the name to conjure prior panache.

Bold statement coming from someone with a Chili in their name.

Without fail, the worst reporters and editors we had at my college paper were studying journalism. I never took a course and rose to managing editor while also being the media-law specialist because I actually listened to the publisher.

Academia should teach you how to think. It doesn’t so much teach skills above community college.

I mean, have you seen how old most of them are?

Well, that remains a question. He didn’t start the server, but it was shut down precisely two years after it was created. And the woman who started it maintains an active Discord account, so it’s not on account of that. He messaged me at 3 a.m. from Europe asking for a link to get back in, at which point we both realised the server was just gone.

It was the six of us who’ve all hung out plus occasional random folks who believe the economy works for them. They didn’t last long.

Thank you. I just signed up and am happy to be able to test drive through June.

The ads are so far sufficiently unobtrusive to still use the platform, and I’ve no need of Nitro, but should that change, I’ll flee elsewhere.

Discord just last week shut down a server that was my main local friend group, and we had to scramble to reconstitute it. At this point, we’re not even looking to advertise it. It’s a low-volume server with only six left-of-Overton from the core group, but it taught us that you always want more than one method of contact, as a a rugpull can happen at any time off any whim.

“Waiter? I’ll take the B.”

Having run newsrooms, this is not news.

My former boss, a complete red-pilled dude I met in detox, got into an argument with me a few days ago over text that ended in civil discourse while we ate breakfast together after he picked me up.

There is still space to interact with those who don’t share your beliefs. The idea that there’s no ground is itself part of the problem.

I don’t think anyone expected this to go well.
