  • I find people deleting their post after a few answers have been provided to be a problem here on asklemmy. As a mod I sometimes serve a relatively short ban when this happens for no real reason. While it isn’t explicitly against the rules, I find it very much to be against the spirit of the board, and it’s really not fair to the ones who took their time to write a response nobody will ever read.

    Me whenever I had to visit corporate.

    Background: I’m field service personnel. I’m either at home, or I’m in some corner of the world, jury rigging hardware and voiding warranties to ensure everything works until the end of the project. But once in a while I have to visit the head office. And once in a while I have to attend a meeting with someone on the penguin-floor. I stand out like a pink elephant in a snowy field.

    A coworker of mine who dealt with the “normal” IT stuff commented that it was always funny receiving hardware from us in the field, because it was opposite of what he got from people in the office; They could receive a work laptop that was shiny and sparkly on the outside, looking almost new until you opened it up:
    Screen was dirty, and keyboard was full of makeup-residue and other gunk.
    And then there was my laptop that needed a replacement: The finish on every corner was worn down, it had physical bits missing from the trim, paint had stripped in a spot due to a chemical spill, and there was a stain from actual lubrication grease. But open it up, and it was pristine.

    EDIT: Come to think of it, the ethernet port was physically missing. The solder pads of the RJ45 port had loosened after too much abuse.


  • Next time you see him live on TV, or you read something he just wrote, remember this: That’s him at his best. And he’s never going to be that good again.

    Because he’s noticeably demented, and it’s progressing. He may have good days, and he may have bad days, but what those two types of days have in common is that they’re only going to get worse.

    He’s already rambling, and sometimes incoherently at that. But the stew he has between his ears will keep degrading to the point where coherence will be a vague memory from his campaign trail.

    Now, that’s the good news.

    The bad news? Stephen Fucking Miller is the de-facto president until 2029 because we all know the couch fucker is too chicken shit to invoke the 25th.
