10% so far unfortunately.

Recessions officially require a slowdown of an economy over a longer period of time. Usually the stock market has nothing to do with it, though it can be a canary in the coal mine for it.

A recession has more to do with unemployment rate rising, negative GDP growth and consumer spending indexes falling.

Essentially it’s just a fancy way of saying the economy is slowing down in every category.

The stock market is a rich person’s playground in this day and age mostly.

Do you only fuck sharks that are communists, or are you a communist that fucks sharks?

I suppose that’s not mutually exclusive, after thinking about it.

What are you talking about? Trump is isolating us from the rest of the world day by day.

We’re rapidly approaching the level of Russia, as considered on the world stage. Nothing about what is happening is a good thing. Nothing.

I am assuming this is satire and everyone missed that?

I was unaware of this. Thanks for the info!

We’ll have Palin there, looking out her window, to let us know the second she sees the Russians.

It’s my understanding that it’s been put to a vote several times there and they’ve chosen not to join the states. Something about taxes going up.

“Trump sucks donkey dick.” x25 hours

Typically they have a dependency on something only one browser can do, and rather than using a polyfill or a better browser, force their bad technical decisions onto the user.

I think you mean… Beegoted.

I hope not, but yeah, I suspect this will be the case.

The world is fucked, and this is a perfect microcosm of why.

McGregor assumes raping a woman is the only qualifier for president. So this makes sense.

It’s my understanding that this will make it far more difficult for them to get a conviction/verdict. Going for the death penalty has certain bars to hit during a trial by jury. It’s often why prosecutors go after lesser sentences on things people absolutely did the worse versions of. This gives them a much more likely guilty verdict from a jury.

By doing this, they’re basically torpedoing the case, as I understand it.

Purely to try and scare people/send a message.

When he’s rendered a verdict of not-guilty for the crimes that would lead to the death penalty, but is guilty of something relatively trivial, like “owning an unregistered firearm”, this could come back to bite them in the ass.

But who knows. I’ve been hoping for the judicial system to bite the ass of fascists for almost a decade now, without much luck.

0 here as well. Really feels like a Gen X/Millennial thing.

So do we all.

Nothing good you mean

That’s exactly what they’re used for. It’s to prevent a vehicle from going too far in that direction, which would typically damage a structure or something expensive or harmful

Sure, but speaking as someone with a lot of knowledge of IT systems, RPO, RTO, etc., I can say that the RPO of deleting your accounts gets worse and worse for the NSA or whoever to keep track of as time goes on.

They’re not the internet archive where they’ve got snapshots of all text ever said on the web. They’ve got crawlers and systems and storage tiers same as anyone else. They have to cycle those backups of their snapshots at some point, and that’s when you can eventually slide your way out of their window as long as the things you’ve said or done are no longer on the internet anywhere. They will eventually disappear from databases and systems like PRISM.

Lol. The French will not suffer American idiots like Trump and his lackeys.

While I can’t fault your feelings, a lot of us are unable to do much without going homeless/hungry. Too many of us are living paycheck to paycheck, as by design, to do anything without losing what little they already have.

There are protests everywhere, the media is just downplaying/intentionally not reporting on them.

But we are very, very sorry. Many of us have been actively fighting against this fascist bullshit for years, since 2016/17. People like myself have alienated family and friends who support this fascist regime.

There’s always more someone like me can do, but the tradeoffs are getting worse and worse. It’s easier for me to just leave the country at this point and go to a country that aligns with my views and the way people should be treated.
