I think there’s something in that quote for all of us.

Ah yes, “thoughtful and disciplined” are always the first two words that spring to mind when I think about tech bros and a.i.

To be fair, we do keep telling them to "eat the rich ". :)

It is absurd that the court has to order you to do what any decent human, especially someone professing to be a Christian, would do voluntarily, James.

RTFM

42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Matthew 25:42-45

That’s why I asked how many were actually illegal immigrants. My bet is ICE doesn’t even know. Or care. As long as they meet their arbitrary quotas. It’s fucking reprehensible.

I’d hope it would be all of them. It’s the legal ones I’m thinking of, let alone the actual citizens, that shouldn’t be there at all.

How many of them are actually illegal immigrants?

Exactly! Although I think it’s more that his only reality is what’s directly in front of him at any moment, but sama sama.

Oh it’s going gangbusters for Trump after all the money he’s been able to steal from it. A lot of people don’t see that, apparently.

That’s why I like using it so much to refer to them.

Many years ago I was working on a large engineering project as a lowly draftsman, and the C.E.O. (or some other high muck-a-muck, can’t exactly remember his title) would call an all hands meeting at the nearby Marriott hotel with a free buffet breakfast every 6 months or so, so it was a pretty nice paid alternative to working. We’re talking a couple of hundred people at these things.

Except this dude loved the sound of his own voice and could waffle on endlessly about anything and nothing, and would do so at these meetings with a captive audience. Annoying, but a reasonable price to pay for a rather nice breakfast.

At the end he’d ask if anyone had any questions, and anyone that knew the guy knew to not fucking do that because we’d be standing there for another 5 minutes listening to the answer, except for the new guy, a very nice and earnest Dutch guy that was standing next to me. I tried to stop him with a subtle shake of the head, but he wasn’t playing attention. Cue another 5 minutes of waffling. I so wanted to give him a swift kick in the shins.

I’m sure there are people that like the look, and I’m not saying they shouldn’t exist. I’d just like to see one, just one, with a more sporty look. Apart from anything else, a more aerodynamic vehicle is a more efficient vehicle, even at 45km/h as any cyclist knows, and these are all as aerodynamic as a brick.

I think the current term for such people is ‘shitstirrer’. Edit: but that seems too mild for people like Mace.

Fair point, and I said something similar about using mockery against them not all that long ago, but that’s only useful when they actually see or hear it, and that’s unlikely for a random post on lemmy. I recommend joining Truth Social and posting it there. (I don’t actually recommend joining Truth Social - I’m not a monster)

Anyway, carry on.

I find it unlikely, but it would be funny if he was on lemmy. I haven’t seen a single positive thing said about him here.

Is ‘firebrand’ a new euphemism for ‘intolerable arsehole’?

You have universal healthcare. They’ll never go for that. Same goes for Australia.

I recommend Argentina for them. It’s a libertarian paradise!

I’m all for microcars, but why do they all have to be so boxy and ugly?

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em.

Lead poisoning should do it, at high velocity.
