What "facts" are you referring to? You have a stack of bullshit Republican talking points that aren't worth the effort it takes to refute. You were presented bullshit "illegal immigrant takeover" and "Iranian Nuclear Weapon" boogeymen, fell for it hook line and sinker, and are now butthurt when we point out how ignorant you are.

Really? Based on what prior actions did anyone paying attention assume a complicated domestic and international matter would be handled deftly and intelligently by this administration?

As much as I hate the orange shitbag that occupies the highest office in the land, I'm willing to listen. Please. Give me an example of a complicated political issue Trump handled in any semblance of the way a consummate professional would. We've got two years of a Democratic Congress and a Republican Executive. I'd love some glimmer of hope that it will be copacetic.

What do you mean ONE of those?

Did you forget the "Post Anonymously" thing? ::checks comment history:: Oh. Never mind. You wear that bullshit like a badge of honor. Kudos, I guess.

Talking to the guy who runs our phishing tests.

Sounds to me like a great reason to test, then. How many other bad actors know the Knicks won? Spear Phishing is one of the most effective forms. I bet everyone who failed it now has a healthy obsession with not clicking links. Obviously I don't know all the details, but generally when my company expects us to get emails from new external contacts we are made aware of them beforehand. Re-reading the summary, I have to say that yeah it's a bit of a dick move, though. Dangling something cool in front of employees who would were told they weren't getting it is pretty shitty.

IT guys don't want you to like them, they want you to not click on links that you don't know what the link is. Hence the tests. I hate them too, but they serve a purpose. I don't picture them shouting "Gotcha!", I have to assume it's some variation of "What the actual ****??!?! I can't believe they actually clicked on that.".

No, "people" in general won't assume that, but pre-biased idiots that are looking for an excuse will.

There's no possible way a woman, even one with a degree related to writing, is qualified to write on technology. She's got a vagina, obviously that makes her a DEI hire. /s

Ok, that was a solid troll.

No, nothing quite that fun. Synthetic organoids are becoming quite advanced, though.

Here's the "brain" info: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.10...

Who said it was dead? It can tell you plenty. It's not a functioning "synthetic brain" a-la Fallout 4. It's a lump of living cells in a gel that mimics the biological chemistry of a brain. Studying how those cells age could help extrapolate into real brains.

I'd describe its shape as more droplet like. I assume it's that shape because that's what liquid naturally does, not intentionally made to look like a brain.

I bet you're a lot of fun at a Happy Hour.

I've gone through discovery. I know it's a pain in the ass. But at the end of the day it's part of the cost of doing business. Maybe they should buy fewer MRAPs? Or maybe they should stop circumventing the 4th amendment purely out of curiosity and convenience? Or, more realistic, maybe a national ban on the use of Flock (or similar systems) until they can figure out a way to prove they aren't abusing it that doesn't cost $2M?

It seems pretty negligent if a police department doesn't already have something like this in place.

Ouch. Solid burn, and on point. Well played.
