  • What are your favorite joke/insult names for corporations?

    Jump

  • Nut & Bolt is getting added to the repertoire. Something about how the double meaning relies on changing them from two nouns to two verbs tickles something.

  • With a name like that you could say they were screwed from the start.

    There could be a whole thread just on the variations of that concept, but the most obvious for a gas station has to be "Pump and Dump"

  • Isn't the totally uncontrolled data-center buildout exactly what an artificial intelligence would have us do?

    Jump

  • Yeah man, who do you think all these execs and consultants in charge of these build outs are asking haha. "Hey ChatGPT, should we make more ChatGPT?" "Yeah buddy make all the ChatGTPs that's a great idea, would you like me to massage your ego and greed centers next?"

  • ICE’s New Detention Center Contracts Declare State Laws ‘Shall Not Apply’

    Jump

  • I suppose a state can sign it's rights away in a contract just like any other entity, but I'd love to know if one EVER HAS. Because I don't think that's up to GEO and ICE to determine between the two of them which laws they are obligated to follow or not. At first I assumed that ICE had gotten some actual US State to agree to this, which would be horrible but at least would make more sense than a private fucking company and a federal agency unilaterally declaring they won't follow the laws of the state they are operating in, which is what this appear to be.

  • I can’t wait to be trapped in a modern day labyrinth with one of these after I anger some billionaire

    Jump

  • Yay I can hardly wait for hordes of these things owned by governments and corporations to be armed and active around the globe!

  • Wikimedia Will Not Voluntarily Recognize Union a Supermajority of Its Workers Want

    Jump

  • Oh that is just standard copy straight out of the union-busting playbook. In law you would call it "preserving the objection" which basically means they know it's BS but at least if they don't back down from it they can burn more time and money because now the process has to accommodate for all this "pressure" "confusion" and "misunderstanding" that po' 'ol liddle Wikimedia just can't make sense of.

  • Hell yeah.

  • If whoever is writing the lower thirds for FOX had ever been to a library themselves, they might know that the comma there is totally incorrect...

  • There is a 3rd choice

    Jump

  • he wouldn't have been an American-style MAGA conservative, that's for sure. "Let thy government abduct thy neighbors because they don't have paperwork" is hard to imagine him saying...

  • Please resist responsibly

    Jump

  • No, I don't think I will renew

    Jump

  • Time to switch and save lol. I change phone plans and car insurance about once every three years at least because no matter what they find a way to run up the price on you over time, so there will always be much much better offers out there

  • When your vehicle outlives its cloud: What happens next?

    Jump

  • Well go revisit that , it is peak 90s overblown comedy action schlock, which is objectively the best genre of movie lol, and I'll go read Perdido Street Station which sounds dope.

  • Trump asks Supreme Court to let him curtail mail voting

    Jump

  • Oh I know they know. And they know we know they know. Did you know zat?

    Jump

  • Beetle fan hahaha. Maybe I had just watched The Mummy or something before picking that one years and years ago

  • Removed

    I'm realizing I might drink too much soda lol

    Jump

  • oh. oh god. 😂

  • watch them lose their fucking minds

    Jump

  • yeah, sort of like how the stock market always spikes right before it crashes, you gotta give people just enough that they can convince themselves everything is going to be great, right up until the last second in order to do a proper rug pull.

  • At least they told us the truth

    Jump

  • Yeah Windows Activation has probably has more programming time burned on it over the decades than all of NASA lol

  • New Fed research suggests far fewer Americans own homes than widely believed

    Jump

  • Yeah and the people who do "own" homes own like 30% of it and the bank owns the rest on average I'd bet. I feel like home ownership should be defined as actually owning the home, not having a contract with a bank where if you miss a couple payments they'll be taking it back thank you very much. Do you really "own" something if it can be legally taken from you for non-payment? No, that's what we call leasing-to-own, not owning, but nobody seems to want to think of housing that way, because then like 5% of people would truly "own" their homes lol.

    Jump

  • Right, I'm not really sure how their product keys would work, without a "product lock", for the key to fit into. That's probably not a great metaphor, point being, of course they would always have needed and used something like this to lock your OS to your device using the product key, right?

    pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"
