  • You see, we like our Nazis in uniform. That way you can spot 'em just like that.

  • The first few episodes suck really bad but it gets better

  • Tape drive backups

  • How much do those tapes cost if purchased in bulk? I am trying to figure out how much a petabyte storage system costs, and how much physical space this would take up, and how much electricity it would require to run. I had a lot of trouble finding this information on Google because I know so little about tape storage and don't know what all I would need. I am probably not going to actually do anything with this but I am curious because I had this idea for a product and can't get it out of my mind. The most important part (for the hardware portion) is having nearly a petabyte of physical, local storage. I am aware this would be quite expensive and relatively large, but the product would be intended for governments and companies not individuals.

  • How much did this system cost? I have an idea for a product and one of the key parts of it is having a huge amount of local storage. I would need like 10x what you have though.

  • Trump urges MAGA supporters to forget about Epstein files

    Jump

  • I would feel bad for their base for how stupid the Trump admin thinks they are if the admin were actually wrong about that. So far the base has proven them right over and over and over again- they truly are as stupid as the admin thinks they are.

  • "Hey guys you know the people I was hanging around and working with and said were super cool up until last month? Yeah they're all pedophiles and I had insider knowledge proving this. Don't think about how this might reflect on me as a person though.

  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

    Jump

  • Remember when China gave its biggest auto manufacturers $85 billion to keep them from going out of business when they made a bunch of bad financial decisions? Oh wait that was the US.

  • American cars have sucked compared to Asian cars since the 1970s. I don't understand why people are acting all surprised that this is true in respect to BYD. Sure in the past products designed in China were stereotyped as poor quality knock offs of western designed goods, but in the past decade Chinese engineers have increasingly proven themselves as perfectly capable of making solid, innovative designs that improve upon those of their competitors. I think it's kind of fucked up that everyone is so suddenly upset about China's role in the world economy since everyone was completely fine using them for cheap labor over the past several decades and are just mad that Chinese companies are beating them at high skill labor and technology. Chinese companies do have an "unfair advantage" given how much they are backed by the Chinese government but American companies receive all sorts of money from the government for all sorts of things as well.

    Some people simply are idiots: An illegal immigrant arrested in LA – this Iranian Maga mom still backs Trump

    Jump

  • Unfortunately a lot of these kids legitimately love Trump and love owning the libs and all of the stupid right wing shit, but it's all they know. It's really sad to me but the kids do somehow love this shit.

  • The Cause of Grok’s Increasing Antisemitism? Apparently, Two Lines of Code (Update: One of the Lines of Code Was Removed)

    Jump

  • Is it really incompetence when you work for a guy who did two Nazi salutes on live TV in front of crowds of thousands of people in person? Like if you work for a Nazi and make your LLM a Nazi how is that incompetence? To me it just seems like making the boss happy.

  • Rightwing influencers indignant over FBI claim that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list doesn’t exist

    Jump

  • It really doesn't have to be from someone else. Lots of people kill themselves after being exposed as pedophiles and realizing that they're about to go to jail for it. He could have easily just bribed the guards to let him kill himself and anyone else involved would still have a vested interest in keeping evidence suppressed.

  • Democrats now openly attack Mamdani

    Jump

  • This whole situation has been the final straw for me and my support of the Democratic party. I used to think they were just incompetent and disorganized but this has shown that they are perfectly willing to openly sell our country to fascists to keep someone who is actually going to make a change for the positive out. I have never seen the democratic party unify so solidly behind anything other than hating on this guy.

  • James Gunn, Nathan Fillion and more on MAGA outrage over director saying Superman is an immigrant: ‘I don’t have anything to say to anybody’ spreading hate

    Jump

  • I mean he was literally created by Jews during the time of Hitler as an inversion of the Nazi ideal of a "super man" who would go around beating up Nazis. His origin story is basically just space Moses, and his Kryptonian name "Kal-El" is formatted like the name of an angel, containing the name "El" meaning "God" (compare MichaEL, GabriEL etc.) Superman has been anti-fascist and pro-minority since his inception.

  • Trump pleads ignorance after using antisemitic slur

    Jump

  • This one is just super common with old people not thinking through that it might be offensive though. Pretty much all my older relatives use this one occasionally and none of them would be intentionally anti-semitic. Trump isn't a god of manipulation or anything, he's an idiot who has the wealth and charisma to make everyone think he's not an idiot. By ascribing this intelligence and intention to him, you're kind of falling into right wing propaganda by unknowingly accepting the false premises they are selling to all of us. Trump is an idiot who doesn't think things through when he says them. His advisors do think things through and do have a lot more intelligence and intention to their words and actions, but Trump himself does not.

  • Reboots and remakes: why is Hollywood stuck on repeat?

    Jump

  • Answer- because we keep going to see this slop and don't go out to see actually original movies.

  • Trump pleads ignorance after using antisemitic slur

    Jump

  • I have noticed it's kind of common for older people to say this and not know the origins or antisemitic connotations. If someone who was Trump's age but a little bit smarter said this, I would think maybe it was intentional but since he's such an idiot there's a decent chance he really didn't know ot was offensive. As much as I hate Trump and all he stands for, I can believe this one was truly accidental.

  • Trump seizes on ‘moral character’ loophole as way to revoke citizenship

    Jump

  • Nah he'll just be deporting the right white people. Fascism starts with tue circle really big. Right now the circle includes new age natural health people, Mormons, and Hispanic men. These will be systematically purged. There always has to be an enemy, and the enemy must always be at the boundary of the in group, so as the in group gets smaller new elements of the in group must be designated as enemies who must be purged out of the in group. We've never seen what happens when they run out of groups but I imagine it will just devolve into "Oh you think you're a REAL American because you're 6'2", blond haired, blue eyed, southern baptist, straight, and are descended from original colonists? Well fuck you you degenerate scum for having a cranial ridge that is too large!"

  • Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk

    Jump

  • Fuck these farmers for relying on exploited immigrant labor then playing the victim when the people they voted for take that away from them. No sympathy. The immigration crackdowns are wrong but seriously fuck these guys too.

  • That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose.

    Jump

  • Yeah God forbid we have socialized healthcare otherwise we'd have to put up with long wait times, barriers to accessing care, and a lack of choice in healthcare providers.we certainly don't have any of that now.

  • That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose.

    Jump

  • I have to take an expensive medication (Humira) to be able to walk. If I don't take it for long enough, I will be unable to work and therefore unable to afford the medication, and therefore unable to get back to work effectively. It's illegal to discriminate for disabilities but it would legitimately make it very difficult to do my job with severe arthritis symptoms. CVS Specialty Pharmacy, in conjunction with CVS Caremark makes me spend 20+ hours a year on the phone getting this medication, overcharges me, and has intentionally built all of their systems to be as inefficient as possible, even when it doesn't really benefit them to do so. One time I was pissed off enough about an issue that I looked up a list of executives and sent every permutation of all of their names @ cvs.com an email explaining my displeasure about this and with them as human beings who should be ashamed of themselves. It accomplished nothing except getting me in contact with an "executive care coordinator" who was just another useless customer service drone who wasn't actually allowed to do anything to fix anything. I have been dealing with this for years at this point. I am not able to switch to another pharmacy or benefit manager due to how my employer's insurance works, and realistically the only other alternative in this space if you work for a big company is United Healthcare, and they are apparently just as bad. I have tried to complain to my employer about the unacceptable state of their health insurance benefits and they don't give a shit. I have contacted my government representatives. They don't give a shit. I have done literally everything I can think of and nothing has changed, nothing will change, and I don't think that in the current system that anything can change.

    So yeah, when I saw what a particular beloved Mario brother did, I laughed my ass off and cracked open a beer when I got off work to celebrate. I am legitimately surprised it took so long for someone to lose it and do something drastic. Every time I have to deal with these fuckers I just think about how much angrier and more desperate I could be if my medical issues were worse or if it was my kid I was fighting for. It was inevitable that someone would be driven to violence, and unless something changes, it will happen again. I don't really condone violence like this because I don't think it's good for society or for the person committing the violence, but when the system is designed in this way, these companies are effectively committing violence against all of us disguised as bureaucracy and hidden behind human shields of front line customer service staff. It is, therefore, completely understandable, and in my opinion, inevitable, that some people are going to respond with violence of their own when faced with such hopeless injustice. I'm just glad he got the right guy in this case and didn't go off the deep end and decide to shoot up a call center or hospital.
