On Reddit, there was a post that outlined why this rando voted for Trump that had thousands of upvotes.

The major complaint was the constant noise about things like BLM, DEI, LGBTQ, defund the police and hating private prisons.

I can understand if this racist hates the first half. And I can understand if they also love sucking off cops.

But why the fuck would anybody support a private prison? Literally a company that makes money off of people being punished?

I say “Damn, Gina!” after the 90s Fox sitcom, Martin.

I tip my bank teller, the canvasser with the clipboard in front of the supermarket, and the traffic light for turning green.

This is my neighbor all the time.

Like dude, round up!

And this is why we do The Scotty Principle

That’s the “One minute manager” bullshit. It’s literally just popping in randomly to course correct.

It’s distracting as fuck as a engineer.

Totally agree. Drives me insane with drive-by status updates.

It’s this.

Absolutely! But it also depends on the size of the company. Small companies can absolutely benefit from PMs. I used to take freelance clients as a engineer, and never accepted a job without a PM who was willing to block out the noise.

In big companies though, I have a lot of disdain for PMs.

Many literally spend their hours being the middleman between actual stakeholders. I recently had a project where the PM was just forwarding emails from one department lead to another. They didn’t understand the product or cared to follow any processes. Then distracting my team for status updates so they can build reports in Excel, so they can feed it up the chain if something was done or not.

Fortunately, our retros are heavily engineer-centric and we can give harsh feedback/fire our PMs, which we have done successfully over the past few years.

Absolutely this.

This is going to sound awful coming from a person who voted for Kamala. But when Trump wanted something, he pushed forward and gave zero fucks who he burned. Trump wanted a wall, and then there’s a wall. Granted, it’s shitty, it’s expensive and an eyesore, and it does absolutely nothing and no Democrats voted for it (that I’m aware of). But to the stupids, they see it as a win.

Democrats fight for a policy, and then carve it over and over to appease corporations, billionaires, conservatives, and anybody who might feel threatened by it. And to those who could really benefit, they suffer. So yeah, I can see why people would shrug at giving a vote for Kamala.

Again, I voted for her. But in reality, I want a candidate who will go, “Listen motherfuckers. All kids in America will get fed. Suck my dick if you hate it. Every single kid will get a sandwich and if you speak again, will destroy you.”

I want to comment that you nailed so many valid points.

I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this, and I know what I’m about to say sounds racist as hell. But Obama was a fluke and America in general is just not willing to elect a minority again.

This one, I don’t think I agree that it was a fluke.

Democrats are continuing to let the loudest crybabies take over the room. And then compromise. Conservatives are right on one thing: the message that Kamala put out to their people was, “You don’t want to vote for a fascist.” Which doesn’t resonate with them. What they instead saw was a person who was going to keep things the same.

Can a minority run again? Absolutely.

But only stop catering to the status quo and bowing down to companies. Do Bernie Sanders shit.

I lived in a small town that literally didn’t believe COVID was real. During the pandemic, rarely anyone was masked up and then they got extra racist to a poor Chinese family and their restaurant.

These simple motherfuckers don’t see or understand fascism. They didn’t even see what they did to the restaurant as racist. These dumb hicks vote on gas prices and how much toilet paper cost.

This is funny on the internet but I met this guy at coding conferences.

It really has been. So while I’m disappointed at the results, there is a relief that at least this part is over. And now we are in the eye of the storm.

The US will continue ticking. Money keeps flowing, and greed will continue running rampant.

As someone making bank and based on the projections, the Trump tax changes are going to pay well. Anyone making less than $100k, or living off of social security or retirement are going to really suffer.

The Trump tax breaks are going to fund a future international trip. And poor folks will starve.

Btw I voted for Kamala. And America voted for a old dude who struggles to form sentences.

Cute article and nice data.

Doesn’t matter though here we go.

Luckily the House of representatives have set up the rules such that they can call to change their majority leader whenever they disagree with each other, so very few actual policies will change.

A bunch of things did get changed during the last presidency because of the Republican majority.

Healthcare, internet privacy, hell even how mail got delivered.

If it’s not from policy changes, it’s from gutting the department and putting in cronies willing to sabotage the industry. You brought up environment policies, yeah those are gonna die.

I was thinking about this recently. I’m not disagreeing that there isn’t massive bot bullshit.

But I purposely stayed off the internet for like 48 hours. Many of my friends did too.

There’s trolleys in my city. I love them riding on their little tracks and I go choo choo.

Having slept in a train bed that has a bathroom and was 3 doors down from a kitchen, it’s wild that we looked at a car and went, “That’s what I want.”

Nah they’re little bitches because they can’t handle that other people might be different.

Be a bit more sensitive to others instead of being a little bitch who feels uncomfortable around people expressing themselves and telling them to bottle it in?
