It’s just got a president with way too much power who keeps trying to install his own party into the executive despite them losing the election. But it is better than 1788, for sure.

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally.

Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however.

Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers.

That is most definitely not how profits work, the profits they gained from nazi slavery and building vehicles for the military allowed them to position themselves well for the post-war period. Also depending on when the reparations happen, they’re done in a stable currency or adjusted for inflation.

Never said they did, but we’re talking about the responsibility of the consumers of their products and in that aspect. Owning a swasticar is a statement of your ideological beliefs and owning a Beemer isn’t.

Spain and Italy and some other Mediterranean countries are also not cleanly divided in this model as they’re still moving north slamming into the landmass above.

The incredulity comes from them thinking we learned like 50 numbers off by heart, and like, nah, only emergency contacts were learnt off by heart, everyone else goes in the book

reading the visual studio code patch notes is nuts because like 90% of it is AI shit every time any time i ever bother to check it. what about features that are useful like omggggg

Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 6d

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

Not many of those statements are agreed with by the person’s head of state or other elites though.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

“His mother and friends could tell”, that combined with the intense amount of plot holes in the article, I’m thinking he at least suspected she was trans, and did this out of peer pressure. Which is not to defend him in the slightest, that’d be equally disgusting as what the court claims he did.

The place eSwatini used to be written on maps as “Swaziland” but this was an Anglicization of the Zulu name for the Swati people — Zulu (isiZulu) and siSwati are similar in many ways, but Zulu uses "z" where Swati uses "t"

www.swazibridge.com/article/inde...

SORRY BUT IT IS NOT ESWATINI BUT eSWATINI, EXPERTS CONFIRM

<p>Finally, the debate is over. The grammatically correct name for the country is eSwatini, not Eswatini and definitely not ESwatini. <br></p>
