But… why?

Today’s word is:

Kompromat

Is the warning about inadvertently seeing something you don’t want to see while looking into Matt Gaetz’s past?

Ah, but he’s gonna fuck everyone, so

Not surprised. I switched to AMD CPU and GPU about a year ago. Could not be happier. Ryzen sips power and I run mine in Eco mode (since I’m on an air cooler). Performance is still fantastic.

Oh no, please, don’t

Exactly this. His cabinet will be filled with yes-men. Trump’s ego is the only thing that matters. Everyone else can burn as long as the ego gets to stay on the violin.

No shit?!

The writing was on the wall when they ignored voters moving towards the Democratic Socialist. The money was more important.

Populism is relatively easy, even when that populist is a fascist.

This is why critical thinking is such an important skill. We have entire portions of the population who legitimately believe they are well informed while actually understanding nothing.

It’s just a symptom of a bigger problem. Poor access to good education for anyone but the super rich will lead to this. So will demonization of higher ed.

Did any of these MAGAs tweet a list of qualifications other than loyalty to Trump? Because that’s how facts would work.

Unless the facts don’t support another conclusion? How weird.

I’d argue he is aware of this, though, which is probably why he is looking towards purging various groups of ideological mismatches.

Trump will lower grocery prices the same day he ends the war in Gaza.

And if you believe that, I’ve got a hat to sell you (*made in China).

Yeah, in general I am not hearing nearly enough about the high numbers of MAGA people in the police and the military. I’m not sure most folks have considered the gravity of that tendency.

I have seen arguments like “well let’s see Trump try X or Y; I’m sure the military would step in”. But like, what? If the military steps in it certainly won’t be to stop Trump. Quite the opposite.

Grover Cleveland’s corpse could run, though

I don’t think any of that matters. Trump will say what he wants, and everyone’s principles and voting records will go out the window. They will fall in line.

The literal VP-elect under Trump is on record as a “never Trump guy”. Same principles applied. Trump spoke and everyone grovelled.

It’s an awful mix of half-assed approaches to things. Awkward syntax on everything and very poor at recognizing what types of data it is handling.

Open a CSV in a fresh Excel install. It will almost certainly mistake something for a date if the CSV is sufficiently large (unless the user is exceedingly explicit at changing settings for that particular CSV). It will reformat that data as a date, and as an added bonus, since Autosave is on by default, it’ll save that reformatted data back into your CSV. Yes, settings can be changed to avoid these things. But why isn’t it just designed better so as to avoid it altogether?

If that was just a natural side effect of spreadsheet apps, I could understand it. But LibreOffice Calc is a million times better at recognizing what types of data it is handling, so it seems to just be Excel’s shittiness.

The fact that it also hasn’t really changed beyond aesthetics since 2004 is just… wild.

Excel?! Have to respectfully disagree on that one.

Ah yes, you’re right.

I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

For your sacrifices, I salute you
