Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

Must be a day that ends in Y

The Usenet post I linked to claims it’s originally from the 1st quarter of 1990, but who knows if that’s accurate or not. I actually can’t find a good source for whether Stumpf is the original author or just the one who posted it to rec.humor.funny.reruns, but it’s usually attributed to him at any rate.

But yeah, fairly ancient by internet standards. I remember first running into it in the 90’s

The fact that it won’t run “AI” bullshit sounds like a positive

Apple’s OS updates – whether iOS or macOS – haven’t been very good for years now

“The narrative” that everybody should have voting rights?

Oh no, the horror!

A rotary notary, if you will

Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.

Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?

I think it’s interesting is that so many autocracies keep up the pretense of democratic and rules-based governance; even North Korea has elections. Same with political trials like you see in so many authoritarian regimes, from modern Russia or China to Nazi Germany – it’s like autocrats need to be able to pretend to themselves that the system they run is fair and just, and that they’re not just tyrants who govern with impunity and enforce rules arbitrarily.

What I don’t get is why? Why bother when it’s immediately obvious to everyone that it’s all a sham? Why not drop the pretense, which everybody knows is just a pretense?

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

We’ve known about the dangers of overusing antibiotics for decades now, and it’s become obvious that this is yet another case where we won’t do near enough to combat a problem until it’s already much too late and practically disastrous

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

Some plans less so than others.

Also, I like this framing of users as the enemy. Matches my experience, really.

Wasn’t expecting a fucking rainforest

On the other hand… do you want them getting out there to infect the rest of the galaxy?

Who said anything about giving them supplies?

I’m sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

Looks like your Lemmy frontend / client turned the community mention into a link so it just took me to lemmy.world, but here’s one that’s not a link: !political_weirdos@lemmy.world

The persecution fetish conservatives have is just incredible.

Well, I guess when you’re a psychopathic narcissist it’s hard to imagine that everybody else isn’t one too, so it’s understandable that they think we want to put them in concentration camps because that’s what they want to do to us.

Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)

Hey we don’t know how many takes his scenes needed 😀

it has been bought by an Orban linked company las year.

Fucking what. Noooo, damnit
