If I thought he was still capable of that sort of higher brain function I'd agree, but I'm not entirely sure he is TBH...

I'm OK with just sacrificing the billionaires myself...

Yeah, that's the bizarre thing, if you get a pair that actually fit you he's not going to know the difference...

Unless of course he's deliberately getting the wrong sizes as some warped kind of personal torture for them.

That's... Something... I'm really not sure what but it's definitely something.

If I didn't think it was giving him too much credit I'd say it's his misinterpretation of the "Shoe Event Horizon" phenomenon from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

He does love to emulate his heros... (Trump that is)

Napster... I remember waiting until the file had like 2mins to go in the download (dial up) and starting the file playing so that I could listen to it as the download finished.

Because they ALWAYS lie...

That missile's awfully generous isn't it?

I'm pretty sure he was going for "mysterious" or something but landed on "most punchable motherfucker ever"

Or at least that's what the media wants you to think...

That's some impressive mental gymnastics right there...

Yeah, I went digging for corroborating stories and couldn't find any so I suspect you're right, that's a lot less worrying.

Yeah, I really hope so, I can't see any corroborating stories about the place so fingers crossed it's a misdiagnosis or translation error.

Oh shit, I didn't even realise there'd been outbreaks there, that's EXTREMELY worrying seeing as how there were only supposed to be two sets of samples still in existence (one at CDC the other at the Russian equivalent)...

They'd rather they use WhatsApp though because Meta will gladly roll over for government surveillance requests whereas Signal will tell them to GFY

Yeah, the curl project have pulled their bug bounty program due to the volume of just UTTER GARBAGE reports they were getting from slop generators who clearly have no actual clue trying to make a buck.

There WILL be more of that...

SMDH

Oh shit, I just realised, we've reached the literal "Shoe Event Horizon", but the driver wasn't shoe shops, it was the lunatic in the Whitehouse.

As always, he can't be told because he's a fucking narcissist and anything that goes against what he *KNOWS* is wrong and can never be right.

Meanwhile ANYBODY with ANY scrap of understanding of the Middle East could've told you exactly what the outcome would be here...

Probably the Whitehouse too TBH, it's probably infested with monitoring devices now.

*Got bought by.

Pretty much, I'd recommend burning all your government IT systems to the ground and starting again.

Probably quicker than fixing whatever damage they did and rooting out all of the shit they undoubtedly left behind.

Wouldn't be surprised, the confirmation usually comes when they forget to switch before making a particularly gooey post about themselves :)

They didn't MIScalculate it, they didn't even bother to consider anything but "make big boom in Iran"

Yup, the PE on Tesla tells you it's valuation is a COMPLETE fantasy, I don't expect SpaceX to be much better.

Yup, same people who believed that DOGE was actually about cost savings.

Yup, there's also as noted in my other message the possibility that "traditional" medical/incontinence companies who sell some of the ABDL stuff might also get tied up in this (not sure if that's a thing in the US though, I've certainly seen Canadian companies that do though)

Yeah, I do wonder when the hammer is going to drop on that...

I can only assume because there's no easy way for them to be alarmist about it it's harder to get traction but it's undoubtedly coming.

Collateral damage to "traditional" suppliers who also supply ABDL stuff is also a possibility.

With this regime, you're gonna need a bigger institution :(

Yup, I'd assume as soon as you introduce say a onesie you'd be running afoul of this.

Deep dark hole would be my preference.
