I used to work for a company that wrote the software used by Clerks of Court in Louisiana. It was niche software because Louisiana is the only US state whose legal system is derived from the French, so the companies that write software that can handle all the other states don’t bother accommodating Louisiana. Clerks of Court in most of the LA parishes made $60K to $70K per year (which was actually a pretty astronomical salary there) but they controlled budgets that could afford the $100K per month cost of the software. The owner of the company would wine and dine the Clerks and pay for their house renovations and driveway pavings etc. and vacations and whatnot, and meanwhile he raked in fucking enormous profits (64 parishes X $100K per month, with a team of about 5 programmers). Nobody batted an eye at this shit.

Technically, their profession is “Saudi ball-cleaner”.

Now they are nickel and diming us until the bubble pops and they we have to pay.

She knows her endgame is being buried in an unmarked grave on a golf course.

Lol out loud

Even in that first case they should have her dragged out there in an orange jumpsuit.

I’m gonna go patent Marxism lol. Maybe I’ll patent irony at the same time.

he conspired with Hanoi to sabotage LBJ

Oh, c’mon. Next you’ll be telling me Reagan conspired with Iran to sabotage Carter!

liberals are bloodthirsty warmongerers who worship Khorne

Excuse me? It’s spelled “Koɿ n”.

Slight quibble: being quartered means having your top half separated from your bottom half and your left half separated from your right half. The “drawn” part means you’re dragged around the city first. Otherwise you’re 100% correct.

This is like saying Jim Henson wasn’t really on the Muppet Show.

How can you afford to own your own island but not afford a suit that fits?

“If I told you once, Chris, I told you a thousand times: slaves go in the other direction.”

“Definitely don’t try to blow up our data centers or our Amazon shipping facilities! That would be very bad for us!”

He has some stiff competition for that title, though: his father and his son.

Just at Treblinka alone the Nazis murdered 900,000 over a span of 18 months. The camp was staffed at any one time by 25 German officers and soldiers and 100 local workers. Almost all of the victims were murdered with the exhaust from a single tank engine. Other camps were generally much larger-scale operations because the Nazis were trying to extract useful work from their victims before murdering them; Treblinka was purely for mass murder.

Anyone who thinks the Nazis couldn’t have murdered a lot more people than they did if they had a little more time is misinformed.

That’s probably why they did it. They know trump is most likely to be shot at by one of their own nuts.

Probably copy-pasted from some other app … which is also lying about data security.

On my first day at a new job in 1998, I watched a guy get escorted out of his office and the building carrying his stuff in a cardboard box. My use of the verb “escort” is ironic because it turned out that the guy had been running a prostitution ring. He’d gotten an 800 number that redirected to his office phone number, and he kept track of everything (names and phone numbers of his clients and girls and records of every arrangement) in a spreadsheet on his work computer. He only got busted because the company upgraded everybody’s PC and had techs look through all the old PCs to make sure nothing important was going to get deleted; this dude had named his spreadsheet something like “call girls.xls” and had it on his Windows desktop.

This seemed amazing to me, but after working there a few months I realized how somebody could get that sloppy. IT Security at this place was fucking lax. None of us programmers had an identifiable boss or anything like clearly-defined responsibilities, or even rigid work hours. I remember one stretch for about a month where in a room with 50 people in it, all everybody did all day was call into the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? hotline and try to get onto the show.

When they move to Russia, that’s when we’ll know we’ve won our country back.
