ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If the internet was a person how would you describe them?English12·3 days agoKind of like that dirty-minded, emotionally unstable uncle many people seem to have. The one who struggles to hold down a job or a relationship because they are emotionally stunted, mildly narcissistic and prime to irrational anger fits.

EldridgeEldritch horrors or demons that we are a species could ever imagine. Because they have extended their malice and cruelty and unbridled hatred into the real world, and insulated it in a convenient shell of righteous justice.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•President proclaims doubling of ICE troops - 20k forces in the next 60 days | Whitehouse.govEnglish14·4 days agoHere’s a link from a December 2024 article. It mentions how the people behind Project 2025 had an online questionnaire. I remember reading somewhere that I’m addition to being an promoted on maga web sites, the questionnaire was also heavily promoted at Trump’s rallies. I can’t find a link on that now, but it makes perfect sense that’s one of the places where they’d be advertising it and gathering names. It would be a very effective way of reaching those people.
Pertinent parts of this article, which again was published before he was sworn in, include:
Among Donald Trump’s many disconcerting campaign promises is a pledge to fire tens of thousands of federal employees and replace them with loyalists.
Project 2025’s online questionnaire for landing job in the next Trump administration asks about the influences on applicants’ “political philosophy.” According to one alumnus of the first Trump administration, the idea is to “see that you’re listening to Tucker, and not pointing to the Reagan revolution or any George W. Bush stuff.”
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•President proclaims doubling of ICE troops - 20k forces in the next 60 days | Whitehouse.govEnglish115·4 days agoRemember how during the election campaign he had sign-up forms for the maga loyalists who attended his rallies and were interested in working for his government?
This is the next step in that plan. The first step was having Musk and his DOGE lackeys gut the federal government of anyone who was employed in areas they didn’t like, it those who might be critical of them.
Now they are moving to step 2: they are going to use subs of the freed-up wages from those lost positions to flood the federal government with their loyalist grunts. And ICE is the perfect place for most of them. These people will get to strut around in their armed forces paraphernalia, persecuting immigrants and people with darker skin than them.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any mention of those rally sign-up forms anywhere recently. But this is all part of a wider plan.

Oof. That’s embarrassing. He’s been oblviously leaking his credentials for months due to an earlier infection by malware.

I haven’t heard this expression before. I understand that he’s trying to project the whole ‘alpha male’ things through that phrase. But that’s a fucking stupid expression. Yield signs are there for everyone’s safety, including your own. Not yielding at them, either literally or figuratively, is the sign of a dunce.

In my last three positions the vast majority of my coworkers (like 90+%) have been pleasant and easy to work with. And I like all the other developers I currently work with.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Forced to lie on a questionnaire (BioLife)English266·5 days agoThat’s objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an ‘Other’ option. There should also be a ‘None’ or ‘N/A’ option.

I feel like they are trying to tell me something. I wonder what it is.
