Yeah you’ve got to wonder if that extra bit they trimmed off would be nicer to have there or not. But I guess the mutilated pecker is all I’ll ever know so I guess its fine?
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 4 days ago:
BS. You think the US is going to invade over not accepting a deportee? The restr of the glove is not so scared of the Us that they will just do whatever silly BS the US asks, especially now that we’ve been proven to be a bunch of impotent clowns.

Heres the list of the 12 dems that voted to pass it. I see Mark Kelly again. Slotkin, fetterman. A whose who of Dnc absolute douchbags who all need to be removed from the party. I hope Hogg gets them all tossed.

Because they havent been paid to do so yet. They dont work for us.

Without defined borders or a functioning legal system I’d say Israel is a territory controlled by terrorists, not a state.

what kind of douche police force writes “pursuit” in giant letters on their car. Bunch of incels.
- Comment on Genius 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, Mexican food is one of the greatest culinary flavor profiles the world has known so far. This guy looks like he sits around eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a spoon. He’s probably just mad that mayo prices went up.
- Comment on Genius 3 weeks ago:
Fox news with the hard hitting journalism, as usual. And that saggy faced guy looks like he might have a coronary within the hour, someone should get him some help or he might die on tv. For now at least he is still entitled to universal health care via medicare.
Can males have resting bitch face?
That should be the real headline. Also, my toddler gets that look on his face when he is about to dump his food on the floor and cry, without actually knowing why he is crying.He looks like he’d find eating any vegetable “offensive” as well. He might eat a pudding cup.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 3 weeks ago:
I worked at LNKD through a good part of its rampup. Jeff Weiner made Linkedin what it was. Reid Hoffman was mostly useless and came along for the ride. His “masters of scale” podcast series was a bit of a joke too, he never had anything to do with anything technical or at scale. He is just stealing credit from his betters.

- Comment on Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content 1 month ago:
There can be many reasons reddit sucks, but I’d argue its less mod shenanigans and poor coproate leadership. Spez is a mega douche and Reddit was captured by mods who had agendas and just silenced anyone who disagreed. Or they were paid to do it.
- Comment on TSA now offers you a choice 1 month ago:
Any chance? Why, are you thinking we’ve tried everything? or anything at all?
I’ll assume good intent for a minute that your question is an honest one.
Lets start with people having rights in airports. Maybe you miss your plane if you assert those rights but tsa agents with a few days of training should not wield the absolute authority they wield. They are trained little better than rent a cops and their authority should be commensurate with that. They should be accountable for the experience they provide to the public. They should accept feedback, on a curve of course, and the bad TSA personnel should be fired. They need to be accountable for some level of professionalism when interacting with the public.
TSA should be trained in deescalation skills. Police should as well. This absolutist thuggery cops and tsa agents like to leverage should not be permitted in a civilized society, and there should be real avenues for the public to cite abuse. If we are honest with ourselves, there arent even handed ways to cite and act on abuse, and thats a reflection of abject effing failure of law enforcement and tsa’s leadership. Yes, there are bad travelers, but theres bad authority figures as well, and the thoroughly planned lack of oversight shows that pretty amply. Where is the accountability with these little tyrants?
From there lets talk about their budget. Its bloated. They have ai programs for detecting threats that are completely unproven. Their equipment deployments are expensive and poorly managed. They should be given barebones security guard level funding because thats exactly what they are. Lets not pretend these are crime fighting heros. They are overpaid mallcops.
Cargo containers are not thoroughly searched-- we trust senders to be honest about whats in them. TSA’s budget bloat can be redirected to beef up cargo security.
There are redundancies and inadequacies in the current process. Why not have some new process flows for bag scanning? Bag scanning is a chokepoint for people that should be distributed. The airport layout should optimize for this. Its not.
Why has TSA allowed Clear and other companies to sell a nicer version for the rich, that literally closes the walkway to allow their clients to saunter through the queue in a privelaged manner? That should never have been allowed. My time is not theirs to sell. That needs to be ended and the people who approved it fired.
Why am I not allowed to say anything that a TSA agent doesnt like? This is America, and free speech applies even in airports. They have taken this “terrorism” to an absurd degree and they need adult supervision. There should be no such thing as “contempt of TSA agent” that ejects you from your flight. I can consent to security, but I do not consent to mallcops being empowered to cancel my travel on their whim if they are having a bad day and feel bad about their life choices. I dont care if they dont like my tone or a joke of mine. Does it threaten anyone? No.
- Comment on TSA now offers you a choice 1 month ago:
Itd be easier for everyone if we instead brought all the people to a central place, some big building or walled camp where they could live and be searched constantly.
- Comment on TSA now offers you a choice 1 month ago:
TSA never did work properly. Testers were ablke to get weapons and explosives through tsa 95% of the time. TSA is purely security theater.

If they want to bring him back for a few seconds and the instantly eliminate him in some painful way, I’d pay for that. But lets keep the Shatner acting to an absolute minimum, please.
