Linux is free if you don’t value your time.

Windows is paid and still doesn’t value your time.

Nobody reads the employee handbook.

I proved it.

Last month I added one sentence on page 73:

“First employee to email HR this sentence gets $1,000.”

Thirty days passed.

Yesterday an analyst finally found it.

I congratulated him and paid the $1,000 immediately.

Then I terminated him.

People don’t randomly read employee handbooks.

They read them when they’re looking for leverage.

$1,000 is a very reasonable price to identify your next lawsuit.

Modern society (and the human race) wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for people bringing children into poverty, which was the human condition for the vast majority of its existence.

[` @schiz04renic]

i honestly think bringing a child into poverty is more cruel than abortion

I am not voting in November to keep the republicans in power.

I am voting in November, for the republicans, to keep the democrat party out of power.

Till November of 2028, that is enough.

@Brparadox I’d stream anything you told me to to all two people I know who would watch.

TForce G50 just failed 108 hours in. Returned that drive to Amazon as defective and resigning myself to the cost of a Samsung 990 Pro.

Post a battle from American history your ancestors fought in.

Battle of Leyte Gulf

Part of the Philippines campaign (1944–1945) of the Pacific Theater of World War II, the Battle of Leyte Gulf from 23–26 October 1944, was the largest naval battle of World War II and by some criteria the largest naval battle in world history, with over 200,000 naval personnel involved. (Source - Wikipedia, and my paternal grandfather).

Oh, so “Purchasing current cards at inflated retail prices is impractical today” and the next generation is going to make things cheaper, how? Buy what you can now folks, it’s going to be a long ride to the top before prices become affordable again!

Internal technical documentation indicates that the upcoming AMD RDNA 5 architecture will deliver a massive performance leap compared to the RDNA 4 lineup.

The prospective flagship Radeon RX 10800 XT graphics card is expected to surpass the current GeForce RTX 5090 and closely approach the overall performance tier of the future GeForce RTX 6090. Both competing manufacturers target advanced 3 nm process nodes, with their flagship gaming GPUs scheduled for release around the middle of next year.

Purchasing current cards at inflated retail prices is impractical today, as next-generation graphics architectures will establish the hardware standards for future game consoles.

Fellas. Vote. Vote Republican. This isn't about "letting them keep their jobs".

This is about your wife getting a riflebutt to the mouth because she won't stop screaming as she's watching you get drug out of the house in the middle of the night by uncomfortable men with funny accents who are going to take you to a place you do not want to go.

We're not play acting anymore. We're not doing it for the memes. You Left is NEVER going to give us another shot at power.

The fact that Neocons exist and have been doing what they do for forty plus years changes nothing.

If you thought the multi trillion dollar industry that was the American Federal Government was going to change because you *won a single election year* then you're just being a goober.

Yes, most of the Republican party is irredeemably corrupt. But the other guys *are literally out to gulag you*.

I cannot impress upon you the importance of this distinction enough.

There will be no "From the Ashes" revolution crap from the Right because the Right has been taught, for decades, that it needs permission and has internalized this lesson. Which means the only path to lasting power is via the institution of Government.

Why? Because all the lunatic revolutionaries are on the Left. You see a whole lot of Right wingers willing to perpetrate violence that isn't of the memetic variety? No? Me neither.

And if you think organizing power is difficult *while the Right holds the government* ask yourself how hard it will be when the Left comes back with a vengeance.

Listen, and be ruled by me. This isn't about rewarding the Republicans. This is about recognizing that the other side is about to release a movie about how Chris Hanson was the villain of "To Catch a Predator" all along and I want you to think a great deal about what all that entails.
