I have a Steelcase Amia. It's my second. My first lasted about 9 years and was mostly fine when I got rid of it. It's a nice chair even if it seems a bit expensive for being so "ordinary".

I've literally been pulled over for doing doughnuts (in a parking lot) before.

Weird how the rules don't apply to them.

Fascism. That's what's going on.

I guess that makes sense. So if they only sell 1 coin out of 1 million and they sell it for $100 then they can walk around saying the lot of coins as a whole are worth $100 million? (obviously a simplified example)

I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.

LOL. Fascism is here. There will never be another Democrat president.

At the moment a search for #democrat on my facebook page returns a bunch of posts saying that searches for #democrat are blocked and a bunch (more recent ones) saying it isn't.

I was skeptical that this was an outrage campaign but with a real news source having a quote verifying the behavior from the company (the above referenced article was on the Der Spiegel front page and the update is at the bottom.) I'm less skeptical.

Pushing through a change doesn't happen by accidentally clicking on a button. Where I work it's a multistep process requiring manager approval. Even if the block happened by mistake it still means there was a mechanism in place to make it happen, configured so that it only censored left leaning hashtags. This is "not good."

The first I heard of Trump's memecoin was a headline declaring it was worth $25 Billion. I'm a pretty online person, so I tend to hear about these things pretty quickly. The article said it was worth $9 billion in 12 hours.

$9 billion is an unimaginable amount of money for any number of people to decide to "invest" in under 12 hours. The only way I can explain that happening is if many, very wealthy people, had been notified about the coin going up for sale ahead of time and wanted to curry favor with Trump.

What a fucking embarrassment this country is.

My brother, a right winger, brought his kids up to visit me last summer.

It was at the end of the week that he told me that I hardly work at all. I'm like: Yeah, I have fucking guests in my house. I was still at my desk when I wasn't trying to keep 2 teenaged girls entertained.

He moved his family 1000 miles away and 20 years later is lamenting that they have no relationship with the people he moved away from. (I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this lines up with the rise of "Family" talk from right wingers.) This same guy calls other people "Sheeple".
