It's amazing how inept these dipshits all are.

It's equally amazing that the US population continues re-electing their dipshits, because they believe that it's everyone else's dipshits who are the problem.

I honestly don't know if this system is capable of being repaired.

Our top talent would walk and we'd be left with the dregs who can't find a better job.

Yuuuuuuup. This is exactly what's happening at my job right now, after they mandated at least three in-office days per week. Only the top people are leaving, too; the chaff and the bums love it, because they no longer have to produce, rather they just have to be seen.

Going to the video rental store was hella fun. My partner and I were going to a local Family Video up until it closed a bit after the start of COVID.

It's conceptually just like listening to music on vinyl; the ordeal, the inconvenience of it makes it special... even fun. It turns something that has become so simple that it's boring (i.e. picking out a movie) and it makes that thing into an event.

Amazon exec doesn't give a shit. Their whole model with tech workers is to recruit them based on the "prestige" of working for Amazon, dunno increasingly more talking on them, burn them out before they start asking for real raises, rinse and repeat.

I am wholly and unironically on the orcas' side here.

Yes, but the Biden administration is also forcing federal workers back into the office sooooo...

Haha I was saying that 1 week is too long too freeze the gag order. I totally agree that CNN should have put the duration in the headline.

Still too long.

"Guys, getting this whole speaker debacle figured out is SUPER important for us to get done... after we take a break for the weekend."

A CR that's six months long is just a budget by another name.

There is zero reason for Democrats to throw any votes behind a Republican speaker. If the majority party can't find a leader they agree on, that's on them. Dems only need 5 Reps to back Jefferies.

Spend your remaining 18 days playing Lies of P instead. Or TMNT Shredders Revenge. Or Arcade Paradise. Or Exoprimal if you wanna get wild.

Nope. It's money. Republicans are just a symptom.

Get rid of Citizens United and watch how things change.

What a pussy.

Geez, we'd be looking at north of $20/mo. for the modern quality level/resolution.

At those rates, I'll just buy a 4K Blu-ray every month. At least that way I know I'm getting good content (and better A/V quality to boot).

How many Mooches was that?

I get that on the surface, but we all know McCarthy cannot be trusted to keep his word on any deal.

Why would any Dem vote for a Rep?

Honest question, as I truly have no clue.

Do you know if there's a way to access a non-paywalled version of that article?

Ehh there's a pretty decent chance that was a bluff by Gaetz. Reps have no other options for speaker right now; nobody else wants the job, and the very few who do have zero chance of being elected to the position.
