I think Mamdani is going to be a Congressman or senator unfortunately. He is very charismatic to the point where he can avoid pitfalls easily

I think he wants to stick to his little fiefdom.

 

[Jace on ice]

Literally what is even the point of trying. This country hates me and there is nothing I can do about it. The future does not belong to us and if you are not a shitskin parasite you will die homeless and starving on the street.

Pirate movies, music, games, books, whatever.

Make all your own meals do not consoom the goyslop.

Do not consoom alcohol or weed, they make you retarded and compliant which is what the system wants.

Whenever you apply for a job make shit up. Find recently bankrupt firms in your area and say you worked for them with a plausible time range. if you're in IT like I am find a bunch of overseas Indian companies and say you worked for them, that shit is virtually impossible to verify.

Put down that you're LGBT and mixed race on every single application. They can't prove you're not and it's illegal for them to try and deboonk it.

The system is so fake and gay trying to play fair is losing. Make it your bitch instead.

You know, the accelerationists are looking more and more reasonable by the day.

Boomers made their kids work.

Just until they left home, then they yanked the job and handed it a "harder working" Mexican.

I'm going to top off here, lie about what you did at a company. Anything that can't be verified as long as you can back it up so you don't sound like you're lying here.

Boomers made their kids work.

The Millennials were famously both pampered and screwed over by the Boomers inability to do this. Boomers infamously invented the participation trophy and pioneered the idea that it doesn't matter how hard you work, everyone is a winner and now have 40 year old "children" still living at home with them.

Last week it was no inspections, now it's the wrong sites being inspected. What's the next play for you? "oh Iran is moving the material"

They did move the material last time they allowed inspections then lied about it

https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/iaea-investigations-irans-nuclear-activities

Location 1: Turquzabad

Information available to the IAEA suggests that Iran used the Turquzabad site, previously referred to in agency reports as Location 1, to store nuclear material and equipment, including containers transferred from Varamin (location 3). In January 2019, the IAEA requested that Iran clarify whether the site was used for such purposes. Iran told the IAEA there were no undeclared materials or activities at the location. In February 2019, IAEA inspectors then requested information from Iran about the movement of containers from the site that the agency observed using satellite imagery and requested access to the location. Environmental samples taken indicated the presence of processed uranium.

Iran’s initial responses to the IAEA regarding the presence of the processed uranium were not deemed technically credible. As a result of the March 2022 agreement between the IAEA and Iran, Tehran provided further explanation for the presence of the uranium, saying that there was “the possibility of an act of sabotage by a third party to contaminate the area.” Iran provided no evidence to support that claim, according to the May 2022 IAEA report. Iran also said it could not identify where containers removed from site in 2018 are currently located.

Iran and the IAEA exchanged letters regarding Turquzabad in 2023. In August 2023, Iran told the IAEA that none of the storage containers removed from the site were intact; all were dismantled at the location. Iran did say it could provide the IAEA with information regarding the current location of the dismantled containers.

As of November 2024, Iran had not provided any additional information about the containers and IAEA report concluded that the presence of uranium particles at the site “is not clarified.”

Varamin

Information and evidence available to the IAEA suggests that Iran used Varamin for storing nuclear materials and/or fuel-cycle-related activities. The IAEA’s evidence suggests that materials and equipment from the site were moved to Location 1, Turquazabad, for storage.

The IAEA requested access to Varamin in January 2020, but Tehran denied the request. Inspectors were able to access the site after Iran and the agency reached an agreement in August 2020 and environmental samples confirmed the presence of uranium at the location. The IAEA ask Iran to provide clarifications about the presence of uranium, which Tehran has failed to credibly answer.

In the May 2022 report, the IAEA noted that Iran stated in March 2022 that the location was used for the production of sodium sulphate. The IAEA stated that this explanation does not match the satellite imagery taken from the site and the results of the environmental samples that were collected during an August 2020 visit to the site. Furthermore, it does not explain the presence of the uranium particles. The IAEA reported that Iran offered the additional explanation of third-party sabotage to contaminate the area but provided no evidence to support that claim. In the report, the IAEA offers its assessment of Varamin, that it was an “undeclared pilot-scale facility for the processing and milling of uranium ore and conversion into uranium oxide” and possible UF4 and UF6 at laboratory scale from 1999-2003.

As of November 2024, the IAEA has received no credible explanations for the presence of uranium at Varamin and its investigation of the site remains open.

Don't get too worked up. The country doesn't exist as a single atomic entity and it certainly doesn't take actions as one. There are plenty of people who don't feel that way and places here that aren't shitholes. You may have to go find them, though. The future is not hopeless, though if you give up it might as well be.

Has the Congress passed a single Trump bill besides the budget?

Problem is, I don't like acting like a nigger. It's kind of a reverse of the 'press the blue button and everyone dies unless enough people press the button' deal, society exists off the backs of people who DON'T play the system. Whether that makes them idiots or heroes depends on perspective.

4th Circuit Court of Appeals rules that DEI offices within CIA (and employees working therein) cannot be fired without giving an opportunity for said employees to seek reassignment or internal appeal even when the internal appeal would be clearly pointless.

As a Millennial, I and nearly everyone I knew had summer/after school jobs.

Gotcha. Realistically the bill won't pass. The pushback is alright huge enough so i get were ya coming from.

Imagine the supreme Court upholds it.

Nope. Trump blew all his political capital on getting the BBB through the Senate without filibuster.

Laken Riley Act, HALT Fentanyl Act, GENIUS Act, lots of smaller bureaucratic stuff.

This thread is unfiltered SomethingAwful style tards using it as their chat and talking about whatever dumb bullshit pops into their head ad nauseum.

Abandon all hope.

No, it's not. If it were actually like Something Awful political threads, like the ones in General Bullshit, then the mods would constantly be having meltdowns and seething leftists would spam reports trying to suppress all thought to the right of Mao.

 

[Buttigieg2020]

Funniest ones are the half dozen acts of Congress that basically say California does not get to make rules for the national EPA.

 

[Polyboros2]

Another reason why Chick-Filay is the White Man's restaurant, here are some others:

• Kanye's last good song
• White families congregate there
• All the workers speak English
• It's clean and orderly
• You can't hear the kids screaming in the playpen because it's safely enclosed with glass
• Good food-cost ratio

The key here, I think, is that it's not publicly traded. Shareholding destroys companies. It did fine during infinite growth when we quadrupled the world population, but as we reach the end of that, it is the albatross around the economy.

The company can't just be profitable, they are forced to grow infinitely. And for the last 30 years we've seen the damage of that. Microsoft burning billions on buying developers and Gamepass number? Makes line go up. Off shoring production in the 90s? Gained them just 8-10%. Our future stripped away and money pouring into another country but line goes up. The governments not going to stop it, that growth is required for the easy selfish twilight years promised to the boomers.

Now I'm still Positive Polyboros. I don't think it's all going to fall apart in a in an apocalypse scenario as people love to fantasize about. There will be a period in the next decade where there will be turbulence, I think some of the stuff Trump's doing is actually in preparation for it, but life will go on, slop will continue to be sold, and if we are really lucky, we will return to more true capitalism with companies working for themselves and not a bunch of people holding sheets of paper, while the stock market continues on more a kin to high roller gambling than garenteed free money.
