What? My smartass comment wasn’t based on fact?
I’m shocked. Shocked I say.
I was trying to be funny and highlight the egregious double standards the legal system has and the extreme hyperbole the industry uses to back up their monetary damages.
What, Europe doesn’t want to help us be flaming war criminal assholes?
Shit, Bibi gets his cocked sucked by half of Europe and Trump can’t even get a handshake.
My country has really lived up to its lowest expectations.
Not even one full season according to their bloated ass metrics.
Probably some kid’s Plex Server with a bootleg copy of Daredevil.
Bunch of cops posing around a single drive NAS:
“We single handedly saved the entire movie industry with this bust.”
“Unfortunately the 14 year old terrorist resisted arrest and shot himself in the the back of the head.”
(Wait this was Italy, not the U.S.)
“Unfortunately the 14 year old terrorist resisted arrest and was hanged from the pillars at St Mark’s square.”
I still can’t decide if the Republican leadership is so hellbent on grift, that they don’t care about the overall economic effects, or they really are just that stupid.
He got a personal burner as well.
He bought new luggage and clothes for the trip, knowing they would be paid for and discarded. He said it wasn’t that big a deal.
It’s not like they surprised him on the way back, telling him to throw his stuff away.
I assume they would sometimes plant bugs and it was just easier to discard than to sanitize.
Yup. Move all the production to China to take advantage of their slave wages/conditions, and instead of passing any savings on to the consumer, they push all profits to the share holders.
That has worked out so well for us, hasn’t it, especially now that we have such a hostile relationship with them.
Companies are the worst.
China’s gonna own us all.
My brother-in-law traveled a lot for work, from the early nineties, to the 20-teens.
He visited, China, Russia, the U.S., India, all over Southeast Asia, Australia. Maybe South America, but not sure. Anyway, the point is he visited a lot of places, and the big ones fairly routinely. China is the only country, where his company had a whole list of requirements. He had to leave his personal phone, any personal electronics, and his work laptop at home. (They provided him a phone and laptop that would immediately be turned over once he returned and he could NOT log onto the company VPN with the laptop/phone they gave him and had to have his work email forwarded. )
They gave him money to buy a new suit before he went over there and to replace his luggage and clothes when he came back, because it was all discarded.
He said it was not so much government spying but industrial espionage. And he just worked in human resources.
I was in the Navy and visited Hong Kong a couple of times and they never said boo to me outside of the usual, “Loose lips sink ships.” spiel we got at every port.
They let him take his phone to Russia, but they did made him take a different work laptop, but that laptop could access the company VPN. He said there is was more about the government spying. I did not visit any Russian port while in the Navy.
So many people at work are having frustrating issues with Windows now.
It takes so fucking long to start up. Sure, you get a desktop and can open a program, but it just keeps locking up repeatedly for a good 20 minutes while whatever bloatware is running in the background during startup.
They cram OneDrive down your throat and it has constant issues.
They put so much shit in your way, in the name of “productivity” it makes your actual productivity worse.
FUCK COPILOT.
Oh, so you misunderstood the joke, ok.
Or are you just gatekeeping your sacred indignation.
Instead of rallying around “things are bad”, you are creating more rifts/separation based off how much worse YOU think someone is than someone else. If that is what you are doing, then YOU are part of the problem. You are letting this shit divide instead of unite.
And it wasn’t a reference to Mussolini. Is that the only Italian you know that was “strung up”? He was murdered by a mob and then strung up, after getting caught trying to flee. No where near Venice.
