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.

100% she's been filled with hate from the start. She was basically elected on an anti-LGBTQ and antivax platform.

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

1. Switch date tracking over to trimesters
2. America suspends the advancement of time because they assume it has something to do with abortions

Due to political entrenchment it's more reasonable to change the DNC from within.

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.

Layoffs don't happen this quickly. It takes more time to identify the right folks to lay off and act on that information.

I applaud whoever scheduled that for Mar 15th

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.

Well, I know who wants an absolutely explosive birthday gift!

Good job, Schumer!

I'm not certain - the genre would probably focus around the hero's journey to get there. It could be a modern/sci-fi adventure novel?

I wouldn't consider it particularly dystopian with a condition - the modern world is a dystopian corporate hellscape so nearly all modern setting tales are dystopian... your description of the setting and plot are certainly a society under pressure but assuming the new country isn't also a dystopian corporate hellscape it'd break with the tradition of dystopian literature where the actions of the characters leave the world no different than the initial state (sometimes names will change, or governments be overthrown only to be replaced with nearly identical ones) or, potentially, worse.

I think the "everything is awful and can only ever get worse" is pretty integral to dystopias.

Elon Musk isn't a Senator. The title as written reads that way by default.

A that shoved in the middle would fix that.

All 22 of these students should receive honorary degrees from universities abroad and from every US university that isn't full of cowards.

As someone who recently had their building flooded and lost power for an extended time an electric kettle can be an extremely useful tool that can be run off a more modest power source or be easily carried to a charging room where power is available. I do think it's important for every household to have one especially if you suffer frequent brownouts or boil water orders.

Because we're better than that and electric kettles exist.

Teabag, pour water over the bag and if there's a significant amount of detritus coming out of the bag discard that water and repour until the water is clear.

A property owner has a right not to have their property destroyed, a vandal has a right not to be unreasonably detained. Destruction of property is usually a civil matter and when it isn't it is a criminal matter that doesn't fit the standard definition of terrorism outside really specific circumstances. Both parties deserve to be treated fairly through this process - America has removed that guarantee for the vandal.
