In Russia, you are given exactly one option for President and everyone is required to agree that he is the only person fit to lead the country.

In America, you are given three choices. One of them is a senile baffoon who will most assuredly spell the end of the Republic if he is elected. The other is a throwback to the 1980s who is coasting entirely on name recognition. And the third is a failson without any credible leadership qualities, who simply runs because he doesn't have anything better to do.

One of these countries will have 75% election turnout. The other will be lucky to crack 60%. Care to guess which?

Climate Protesters clearly need to start investing in heavy machinery

A speculative bubble can pop without throwing the whole country into recession.

A handful of speculative super-bubbles are on the verge of popping (one might argue that sites like Twitter have already popped and just won't admit it).

The overwhelming majority of software engineers and systems architects and coders are either

a) doing just fine in their non-imploding industries, such as finance and energy and manufacturing

b) eating the same pile of dogshit they've been eating for the last 30 years, assuming they're doing entertainment software or working Fivr jobs or otherwise engaged in the most precarious forms of software development work

This isn't bad news for coders. This is bad news for Silicon Valley VCs and their promise of unlimited borrowing capacity.

If anything, hexbear users are undermining communism by making it look too hard.

Love my rookie FBI shitposting-on-the-hexbear-for-salary working stiff comrade.

Unionize, my brothers and sisters! Reject the tyranny of the Professional Managerial Class and embrace a federal bureau of investigation 32 hour workweek!

The best posting is that sweet spot between a post so good its bad and a post so bad its good.

Counterpoint: Doing something you love that makes the world a happier, healthier, and more wondrous place is very sexy.

Good Lord, Peggy. One Bobby is hard enough to calculate. You want me to do three of them? Can't we just send the other two back?

Based and coder pilled.

I'm on a plane with some dogshit WiFi and this is very handy
