And the folks with medical devices that require power like respirators or CPAPs? When city power is shut off they should just die?

City infrastructure is incredibly important and DC is in a uniquely vulnerable position.

Then why hasn’t a single guillotine needed to be sharpened?

Can we knock the last three words off that title?

Alignment indentation like that makes my eyes bleed. Please never push an LoC further to the right than nesting would imply.

I know literally no one who has a ethical reason for entering private security - some folks become cops for high minded reasons like wanting justice or to protect the vulnerable… private security is where the weak go when they’ve been rejected from being an actual LEO (usually due to being absolute turds, only rarely for physical fitness reasons).

DC is fully funded by congress and the GOP has threatened to defund the city. It’s easy to criticize that from afar but going against Trump would mean a lot of pain and a lot of deaths.

DC needs statehood.

Why is Flynn still politically relevant in any way? How many times does this failure deserve to be bailed out by the American taxpayer.

I triple dog illegal it.

The general populace was blinded by the media for a long time though.

He’s a conservative that realized the Torries were going to fuck themselves over hard.

Nano is love.

I’d much rather see AOC enter the next dem presidential primary.

This is a bit embarrassing but the last time I actively worked in C++ it was with Qt and pre C++11.

Hrm. It took six months to make so it’s unlikely we could deploy this strategy at scale but I praise the innovation.

I think it’s necessary but it’s a terrible sign for democracy that it is necessary. The popularity of such an obviously foreign backed party is a clear sign that the dominant parties are fueling deep internal dissent.

I support drastic actions to prevent fascism but if the underlying reasons why the centrist party is so unpopular and why an extremist party is so attractive (usually economic oppression brought on by our wonderful late stage capitalism) then another party will quickly take their place.

A government needs to earn the loyalty and approval of its populace and lately there has been too much of a global lean into corporatocracy.

Real C++ programmers pass by const ref and tell pointers to fuck off.

Oh, it’s definitely damaging the brand and I hope it eventually destroys it - but we’re not there yet and Tesla board members don’t want to drop Musk as that’d lively crater the stock.

Fuck Schumer.

Here’s the thing, he hasn’t destroyed the brand in the eyes of the stockholders - the company’s P/E ratio is astronomical even today… the market cap still has to fall about 700B more to be anywhere near a reasonable valuation. He’ll be CEO until his magic stock pumping powers fully disappear.
