There is a reason I’ve spent most of this year referring to Trump’s secret police as the American Schutzstaffel. I’d say what I think citizens should do to them on sight, but I think it would violate community rules here and likely land me with an all-expenses-paid permanent vacation to one of their other concentration camps.

Specifically the “laundering” kind, if I had to guess.

“What agency are you with?” asks Fonseca Tapia, filming through his car window.

“I’m not going to tell you,” responds the man, who is wearing a high-visibility construction vest, an orange helmet, and glasses, with a camouflage mask covering most of his face. “It’s none of your business.”

All the more reason people to not comply and protect themselves by any means necessary. Maybe they’re officers who will arrest and detain you, maybe they’re random neo-nazis who will drag you into an alley and murder you for whatever reason. Without any requirement or enforcement of official identification, these ‘agents’ could be literally anyone. And ICE is actively hiring neo-nazis, so even knowing what agency they’re with would tell you a whole lot about their intentions regardless.

It’s not about sustainability, it never was. It was only ever about endlessly repeating the cycle of improving profit margins in the short term by any and all means. And what could sound better to venture capitalists than “improved productivity” regardless of whether or not it was true?

I never cease to be amazed that Rupert Murdoch is still alive. Truly a terrible injustice that time has not yet seen fit to take him from this world.

If that doesn’t work, I hear ritual sacrifice is pretty effective.

I imagine precisely this might land them in some tricky situations in states like Texas which have both Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws.

Vulkan is designed to be closer to the metal than something like DirectX 11 or OpenGL, which makes the API more explicit and difficult to use. This means it requires a great deal more care to use properly. And to complicate matters more, subtle bugs that are very difficult to debug are very easy to introduce.

But, this applies mostly to devs who build their own tech. Most of them these days are just using 3rd party engines like Unity or Unreal, so it comes down to whether or not the person making the game decides to check the box to use Vulkan and just how good those render backends are. Engine developers of 3rd party tech have to build their stuff to be as generic as possible. That’s likely gonna add a lot of bloat that might not be fully optimized for every game developer’s use case.

TLDR: It’s tough and time consuming for someone writing it themselves. And for the ones who aren’t, they’re having to place a lot of trust in a renderer that is probably a black box and might be buggy/slow.

Because the FBI is currently run by some of these idiots.

The worm is just another of RFK’s victims.

Some people are good at hiding their crazy. Luckily, MAGA types are generally pretty loud about their bigotry and never shut the hell up, so it’s easier to weed them out.

No legal recourse, but we still have options that may or may not hypothetically involve the use of the 2nd amendment.

ICE is perfectly happy to ignore the law just as Fuhrer Trump has instructed, so they shouldn’t get to enjoy the law’s protections anymore. I’d love nothing more than to see the people storm ICE facilities, free the prisoners, and burn those places to the ground.

Haven’t you heard? The rule of law no longer means anything. Now the “law” is whatever the regime says it is.

If fear of divine retribution is your only reason for being a good person, then you are not a good person.

So cute! One of my cats does this too. I call it her business casual pose because it always makes her look like she wants to give me a quarterly purrformance review.

Oh no, how sad. Hang on, I’m sure I have the world’s smallest violin around her somewhere.

Part II is really polarizing in the community, but I personally loved it more than the first. However, I found it to be far more depressing. YMMV, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you’ll want to be emotionally prepared going into it.

Well, according to Agent Orange, the constitution says the president is a god emperor and the military must obey his every order. /s

The movie Office Space taught us many years ago how to deal with a problematic piece of technology. I recommend the workers take note.
