You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn't need to be done at all.
I ask a bunch of questions because I've forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don't notice my attention is wandering while they blather.
We are not the same.
And gadsden flag, and trump flag, and thin blue line flag.
"officer nearly ODs on femtanyl after touching ________ laced with the drug"
Was a headline I saw multiple times over the last 5 or so years.
This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.
I Still hear people go on about how "it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!"
Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.
Here? "You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn't, so the freak out was for nothing!" yeah it didn't pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.
I'm not European, so I can't say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.
The people's reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn't be lessened just because "lol you guys got so propaganda'd and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I'm so smart" is quite the take on things.
.... They left?
And here I thought they just gave authoritarianism a nice coat of paint and called it "law enforcement"
Weird how "law enforcement" always seems to avoid the places where they might get something more than a papercut.
Almost like they're cowards...
Imagine going back in time and telling the signatories of the declaration of independence that politicians in 250 years would be calling a "No Kings" protest terrorists and that they hate America.
I pity Satan.
Nobody deserves to get fucked by this loser.
It's always "well the lazy democrats will take it so it's perfectly fine for one of us to take it so they can't have it" or some variation.
I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently
You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.
The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I'm the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don't want a seat belt.
Two small towns in Ohio also had a surprising turnout considering they're both pretty damn red.
