Remember when the Pentagon spent something like 600 million dollars in new accounting software to find the missing 400 million dollars? Something like that. I'm guessing this deal was made when they were still buddies and the Pentagon is just now getting around to it considering the speed of government is slower than constipated molasses. I'm also imagining someone just rubber stamping anything coming across their desk and this is how we got here. If there is any hope, Grok will be shoved into a corner doing nothing except earning dividends for that ketamine fueled moron and and fall in line with the Pentagon's egregious wasteful spending that nobody in congress seems to care about.

Took me a moment too. "Return to office". Basically CEO's mad they invested a ton of money into an expensive empty building despite remote work proven to increase productivity and morale.

The Donvict is about to pop ninja smoke. Probably this time it will be a civil war.

"Now with 80% more MechaHilter comments in your source code file's source for that extra bonus source! What are ya waiting for??"

Not to diminish the obvious human rights violations at Qatar, but they're charging a premium entry fee at $250 a person which may or may not guarantee entry with risk of possible detention and random deportation. People are seriously going to pay for that? Did Qatar do that? No really, serious question.

I'd like to point out a few things in this legal logic bomb here. I'm not a lawyer either but...

• The administration declared being illegal a crime even though it is a civil matter so they can create this illegal loophole.
• The article states that that removal of citizenship for criminal charges would allow trial by jury.
• The current administration is making denaturalization go through civil court to strip defendants of any right to a trial by jury or lawyers if they can't afford one.

However, if all defendants tried in civil court solely on the charge of being here illegally, then they are not a criminal for being illegal by their own definition because they are in civil court. Even if they are being busted for a crime other than being illegal, they still have to go through the criminal court process for denaturalization which is by a trial with jury. I'm going insane trying to follow this cluster fuck of logic. --

And that's how the US permanently lost hosting opportunities to world events including the Olympics....

Dammit! Thank you for the update.

Well that sucks. I don't know what their rules are, but having dealt with shitty HOA's, if all the rules of the agreement were followed and you get their attorneys involved, their attorneys in most cases will tell those dickheads knock it off if the agreement was followed. This sounds like a violation on the HOA's part of the agreement but again, I don't know how it's written. I do know if an update was pushed every single resident shall have received the update for it be valid and they shall have a copy of the agreement ready upon request. I hate shitty HOA's. Good luck to them.

Reminder, this is the "Marine Ground Combat Officer" (whatever the fuck that is) that threatened everyone on the first day of his job. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fema-acting-administrator-david-richardson-staff-meeting/

I doubt he saw any combat and was probably the correspondent that carried that couch fucker's shit around.

The good news is he read the HOA agreement, initiated a special meeting through signatures, and now the neighborhood is holding a special election to remove the dickhead board members.

If I was a the polygrapher I would put unique shapes on the graph after polygraphing this sensitive little moron. "This dick shaped line right here is self explanatory. The problem is you."

Good to see someone took the scam of Lay Away and convinced an entire generation this is fine for things they will never own, even if they pay it off.

My last EA game was Battlefield 3 and I have never purchased an EA game since. Has that stopped EA? No. Why? People will buy it anyway because once their friends buy it, they have to buy it too. Companies all know gamer heard mentality. Your best bet is to slap that digital copy out of your friends' hands right onto the floor. I don't know how you do that, but that would be a nice thing to have.

From the article: "Hoarding is a disorder characterized by difficulty in parting with possessions" and this is key, "Digital hoarders often will cite an emotional attachment or a sentimental value to files they collect — including photos or email exchanges — associated with their own life experiences or with people in their lives. In such cases, he says, anticipating difficulty coping with feelings that accompany a permanent loss of these items becomes a barrier to controlling their hoarding behavior."

The mental disorder comes from the difficulty of parting with those possessions because the individual is tying emotional response to them. Have you ever tried to remove an object that you consider trash from a person that is hording? It's going to be a really bad time and a massive emotional roller coaster for everyone. This article made more sense to post than the original one from PC Gamer. I do wish consultants and experts would stop labeling people with disorders because of anecdotal evidence or trying to have some kind of shock value. It starts to associate people of a massive community with a mental disorder too. If someone deleted my steam library, I would be upset, but not on the actual level of an person that hordes. You ever see the show "Hoarders"? It's extremely sad and painful to watch.

That's not to say digital horders don't exist on steam. The moment they lose a game and start freaking out beyond "i just lost money", that person needs professional help.

Or they just like a really good deal which is a known marketing tactic since buying stuff with currency was a thing? "99 cents for this thing I may or may not need? Down from two dollars?! Sold!" Maybe the term hoarders, as in people with an actual mental issue, is not the right term. More like frugal. Let's face it. Steam sales are when they sell the most copies of any title.

Now if you are buying games at full price every time with no intention of playing, you're just a dumbass and need a lesson on the value of a dollar.

Yet Texas voters keep landsliding this absolute coward back into office. Nevermind he has abandoned his constituents at every major natural disaster. Even Chip Roy, who is arguably a bigger fucking idiot than he is, was there before him.

Edit reminder: Dude even abandon's his dog in the worst ice storm of his state's history! I don't care if his security guard was watching him, people were freezing to death!

Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.

Then after space it's the college years followed by Dinosaurnado. Although, a tornado composed of dinosaurs sounds awesome.

The point of the thread was for the influencers to fucking go and get a real job because they're just rotting brains anyway. It started with tide pods and it's grown into the exact thing you just stated. All that manosphere bullshit for example. You don't think all those podcasts, Twitch, and whatever the fuck else today's teenagers could get their hands on had any influence whatsoever from from all these dipshit people? We were all shitty teenagers so get off that "BRO I WAS A FUCKING TEACHER" high horse. It's just worse now because they're constantly bombarded by stupid fucking ideas. Welcome to the failure of the education system! Sorry you had to eat shit daily to find out I guess!
