But seriously, I don’t think the regime is going to volunteer rebates. I think they’re going to hold on to the cash until and unless corporations and individuals who have paid those tariffs sue the government and win.

This is dumb. Right now, the LLM/agentic/generative circlejerk is in full swing, largely due to the VC and PE dipshits are throwing money at it, because they, as a class of “professionals”, fell for the snake oil pitch hook, line, and sinker.

There will be a correction. It will likely crash the economies of a LOT of countries - definitely the US, considering something like 30+% of our economy is apparently tied up in that house of cards. But as a competent engineer, I’m not too worried, because I’ll be charging top dollar to un-fuck people’s vibe-codebases after the crash.

Always has been my dude lol

Lmfao

Honestly, this and many other developments in recent years from them have essentially conditioned me into being a loyal team red customer.

Eyoooooooooooo

Sounds like he’s ducking handsome

YouTube too, tbh. I’ve been getting absolute shitloads of ivermectin and conservative Christian and general right-leaning/pushing ads (including shit for fucking turning point USA) in the last year or so

I was furious that I felt like I was essentially forced to vote for Harris, but I did, as a tactical electoral decision.

But very obviously, there are an absolutely enormous amount of people here who are sick to death of corporatist neoliberal bullshit that the Democratic rank and file consistently perpetrates, and those politicians are seemingly under the impression that everyone’s too dumb to realize that’s what’s going on.

Well, their bluff got called - and yes, it happened in just about the worst context it possibly could have, but then again, the DNC thought they could phone it in (yet again) and it blew the fuck up in their face. The Democratic Party absolutely deserved that outcome (not to mention: pretty much all of the party leaders appear to have learned absolutely nothing from this shitshow). It’s just an absolute tragedy that said outcome also has the implication of fully destroying any remaining vestige of Pax Americana, any pretense of altruism in American foreign policy and geopolitical action, democracy itself in the US, and perhaps even the US itself in the mid- to long-term (i.e. I would not be terribly shocked if the US ends up balkanized in the coming decade or two). And it was all predictable and avoidable, and nothing was done because, in addition to a complete and total lack of political will, too many people were making too much money for too long of a time, and didn’t want any of that shit disrupted.

Anyways I’m gonna go have a cig or something, jesus fucking fuck

heroin entrepreneur says all the cool kids are doing heroin

For a public onsen, I’m fairly certain “scrub down, with soap” is absolutely intended to be the first step.
