  • And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.

    unfortunately as an adult you don’t get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.

    You’re advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.

    I’m advocating for violence against Nazis.

    if they didn’t vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they “just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids”. I don’t think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn’t vote, and in a few years they’ll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.


  • So now not only do we have to vote, we also have to guess which one is the correct one with no communication.

    If you have to guess which one is the bad one…

    And you say there’s not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you’ve called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.

    No, I’m calling for violence against Nazis. Violence against actual Nazis is always acceptable.

    I shouldn’t have to motivate you to vote, nobody should. If you’re not motivated to vote, then you accept the ramifications of your actions.

    We’ll come back in six months to see how you’re feeling about it all. I’m feeling that you’re probably gonna have a great time though.


  • Oh I don’t like Nazis either. But his political campaign isn’t built on Hitler’s. It’s a pretty stock modern campaign that had better messaging propaganda than the Democrats. And before you accuse me of liking his messaging propaganda, he won the election. So it was better messaging propaganda.

    fixed it. The fact that you’re calling it “messaging”, tells me all I need to know about you.

    Calling everyone who doesn’t vote for the Democrats a Nazi just isn’t a winning message. That may seem weird to you but all everyone else hears is that you don’t know what a Nazi is, and you’re just throwing a word around.

    I’m not calling anyone who didn’t vote for Democrat a Nazi. I’m calling anyone who didn’t perceive Trump as a fascist threat, and voted against the obvious choice, a Nazi. Either you understood the threat that Donald Trump poses to continuing American life as we know it, or you actively supported him being in power. There will no other options but Harris and Trump. There’s no gray area. It’s pretty black and white. You either vote against the fascist, or you support the fascist.

    Especially this new transitive power of being a Nazi by doing nothing. Even in the aftermath of World War 2 you weren’t considered a Nazi without a party number.

    Technically German citizens didn’t do anything for the rise of power of Hitler. People still make jokes about how Germans are Nazis. 99% of the population there wasn’t even alive for World War II. The shame was immeasurable and impacted Germany economically and psychologically as a culture. Why would there be shame if they weren’t ashamed of what they did? And if they were ashamed, that means they’re guilty. Guilty of what? Being a Nazi.

    I wonder how the prisoners in the concentration camps after World War II felt when they went back home and their neighbors knew where they were and still they did nothing. Do you think that they… understood their neighbors weren’t Nazis? Do you think they cared? I don’t.

    By the time you’re done accusing people of being Nazis by the transitive power, everyone, yourself included, will be a Nazi. After all, you might accidentally sit at a table with one and then poof, you magically get an evil fashion sense.

    One does not “accidentally sit at a table of Nazis”. When you find out the table is Nazis, you fuck up the table.

    Whenever I find out somebody’s a Nazi, I punch them in the face as hard as I possibly can. There’s no delay. There’s no guilt. Believe it or not, a fist straight to the face. Today, I’m proud to say, my daily life is 100% Nazi-free. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this winning streak up though. You may willingly sit at a table with Nazis out of a sense of politeness, but I will burn that motherfucker down.

    So no, there’s not a “transitive power” on Nazis. It’s pretty cut and clear. You either are a Nazi, or you are not. Like if you voted against fascism, or not.










  • “it works on my machine.”

    It’s funny that that’s the answer that they always gave, considering there were times that we had screen shares, and I asked them to walk me through how they actually got it to work.

    When they attempted to try to run it, unsurprisingly it broke.

    There were even a few times that I didn’t even review it and the first step I took was to inform them that it wouldn’t run. Also, unsurprisingly, I was right.

    Management at the time was driven by product development and delivery of “high-value” features. As long as deliverables were delivered, this dev could do anything they wanted to. At the end of a year, I’d lost about four weeks of productivity. That doesn’t even cover the hours of after work time that I spent on trying to fix their fuckups.

    Needless to say, I stopped doing that. I used to be a nice guy to work with, but now… Let’s just say if you can’t do the work, I’m not covering for you. If your PR doesn’t get merged because it’s broken and you can’t fix it and you spend six weeks trying to fix it, that’s on you.



  • dude. i feel that pain.

    i got a dev fired because they absolutely refused to test their changes before submitting.

    I’m not talking once or twice either. at least a year of that bullshit. i had to show my boss how many hours of wasted time it was taking me because I look at the code first, like literally anybody. Eventually boss pipd them and fired them but holy fuck i wanted to kick that douche in the groin every time i saw a pr with their name on it.

    next place I work I’m insisting on a build step success to assign a pr.



  • First, who are you quoting?

    Second, my comment was a tongue in cheek comment about how the noisy majority of cyclists claim that with bikes all the problems we have with cars goes away.

    I’ll have to agree with them, but that’s only because the problems with cars go away when cars are removed from the equation. Then new problems arise, problems that involve bikes. Problems like, people who are paying more attention to their phone than where they’re going on their bike, smashing into other people, smashing into buildings, smashing into vehicles.

    Those sound like really familiar problems… It’s almost as if you shouldn’t drive or operate any vehicle while you’re not paying attention. But that can’t be the problem. Not on my bike!
