You should probably see a doctor.

Reminder also, that the electric grid is more complicated than this. We in America won’t lose power if he flips a switch, instead our municipality will be forced to purchase power from other sources. You won’t be inconvenienced, you will just have to pay more.

Save for maybe full-scale nuclear war, the end result of every possible action by this administration and the people responding to them will ALL have the effect of making each of us pay more. This is the plan, this is why they’re doing it, they’re trying to drain the wealth of the average American so we become like any other developing nation with a massive population living in shanties and a wealthy elite who control everything and have no limitations to what they can do, because all the governing systems and oversight has been stripped. This is the plan, it’s not particularly clever, but it works fantastically well, just ask every other nation that’s been toppled from within by obnoxious authoritarians. America is not immune.

Our only real hope here is that they move too fast and make people uncomfortable enough that people start rallying sooner than later. The ousting always comes, the worry is that it will be too late to save democracy and all the myriads of systems that have maintained a functional nation for a couple centuries.

Those are just terrible employees who likely have such a sedentary way of working that they serve the same dozen clients every week and feel put out by anyone they don’t know.

Go back and fucking do it again. Seriously.

Punish them for not handling their goddamn job like professionals. In fact, when you go back to do it again, casually mention that you’ll be writing the branch manager and you’re glad they’re able to go to such lengths for you. I am not even kidding, they’re being passive-aggressive by performing this big act and deserve to lose even more of their time and patience. You don’t owe them anything, much less an explanation, you pay all their paychecks. You’re the person who has the money, they should be falling over themselves to make sure you, the guy with the money, is taken care of and secure. Their entire business model depends on making people feel comfortable leaving their money with them. You’re the boss.

edit: if this triggers you, you’re probably an entitled employee. You either do not understand how businesses and employment work or you have an emotional issue and shouldn’t be working a customer-service role. Seriously, if you call this “karen” attitude, you’re emotionally spoiled. We have, unfortunately, a capitalist society where if you want to afford basics and succeed at all, you HAVE to work for it (unless you’re born into wealth, in which case jump into a volcano) and if you don’t understand what makes businesses succeed, you won’t succeed, change your delicate little perspective. I get this site’s demographic but you HAVE to work to survive, you’re not toppling the system through fucking Lemmy. Go get a job and succeed at it so you have some money to throw around at your causes and be respected. Save money, break your bad habits, take control of your health, go fucking outside and breath. If you’re getting upset about things you read on the internet you’re part of the problem whichever side you’re on.

Well he might seriously get us into a literal war with our neighbors, but it’s not because he gives a shit about politics or international anything. He’s doing a cash-grab right now with and for his donors and sponsors and his family. He is not serious about anything he says because he’s not telling anyone what his actual motivations are.

Serious in this context doesn’t mean “not joking” but rather means “with a real intention of affecting political change.”

Years of propaganda showing fetuses as fully developed babies with like, wives and families at home waiting for them to be born. This is why they’re trying to crush science and reason, because it points out flaws in their emotional arguments. Emotional arguments that were spawned by people manipulating them for decades, the original purpose long since forgotten, so that now it’s just “culture” among conservatives to view other people’s pregnancies this way.

The wildest glimpse into our human failings of reason is on full display with the right though, because they have ZERO qualms about getting their own abortions. When they do it, it’s different. It’s a clump of cells or an unthinking organism when it’s them.

He’s using serious channels and conventions to deliver deeply unserious ultimatums in order to consolidate attention and create confusion. He will do the same exact thing as the tariffs if it gets to a point of actual mobilization.

“Trump withdraws troops from Canadian border for fifth time this month”

And while everyone is reeling and scared and wondering what the fuck will happen tomorrow, Elon and his little cronies are literally hauling cash out the back door.

Now if only an AI could actually find the square root of anything. They can’t do math, at least the models I’ve tried. I am aware that if they could do math, it would be a big deal, but really if it can’t analyze the actual content in my work files then it’s useless to me. It’s good at finding mathematical answers by putting in what you expect to get from 120 X 15.5, but doesn’t actually know the difference between 1860 and a picture of Judy Hopps in lingerie, and would be equally satisfied giving you one as the other.
