Comment Re:DEI hires (Score 1) 28

The only reason they deleted the databases was because they were let go by Trump. Most likely because they were Biden hires.

How many other hackers who have served time are subsequently hired by the government? Should we complain about that as well? We know of at least one who ran a site which offered services to hackers, and he was given the keys to the kingdom. How much private data do you think he exfiltrated?

The real issue is, once again, a private company didn't follow basic security procedures and let these two have access while they were being fired. Standard practice is to disable all access and escort from building when being fired. Neither was done in this case.

People change their minds all the time because they are wishy-washy. They're confused because they don't have a lot of good information available and they don't have the skills and training to parse what they do have.

So you can do a 6-week ad blitz and change 3 to 5% of The public's opinion on pretty much any issue which is more than enough in a winner-take-all first past the post voting system to win the election.

This is why musk gave Trump $250 million dollars right before the end of the election.

Comment Re:Hugs my 2000s car... (Score 1) 149

I had a free trial a while back and I couldn't find any stations I enjoyed. Even the stations that would seem to cater to the genres I enjoy played bands I did not enjoy far too often for me to find value in the station. It was really weird how consistent that problem was as I never had that problem with local radio stations in the 20th century.

They're also expensive relative to their Korean competition who have by now pretty much caught up to them completely. Outside of more customizable options one can pay through the nose for at the dealer they don't really offer much more than Hyundai as far as I can tell and yet similar models Honda offers typically sell for a couple grand more. Then again I'm not a big car guy so maybe I'm missing something.

This is why they go out of their way to attack higher education and convince us all to be plumbers. They want us on educated and lacking in critical thinking skills. Yes some of us figure that shit out naturally most of us don't.

Comment Weird for a city to put up (Score 1) 32

I enjoyed the heck out of at least the first Robocop movie when I was a kid and still think it's a pretty fun dumb action/sci fi movie. That being said I think it's a little weird putting a statue up of a cop who frequently went around executing people without any form of due process even if it is a fictional character.

"That starts with enforcing a fucking border. " Why? What do you hope to gain by keeping out a large group of people who want to work in the U.S., pay taxes, raise families, and generally work in jobs native born Americans won't touch? Who's more American than these people? Answer: Not You.
