House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) demands that Zelensky fire the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States for organizing a trip to an ammunition plant in Pennsylvania.
  • I don't know if the political affiliation of the employees matters in this context, but I would guess that people who work in the MIC would be significantly more likely to support Ukraine, MAGA or not.

    Either way, I just don't see the political upside to his visit, but I can see a lot of potential downside.

    I can also see a world where in the end, it makes no difference at all, guess we'll have to wait to find out either way.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) demands that Zelensky fire the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States for organizing a trip to an ammunition plant in Pennsylvania.
  • I don't agree with speaker gooning dad on much, if anything, including his rationale for this request.

    But, I do think it was a bad move from a policy and governing perspective to have a foreign leader touring our weapon factories that are supporting their hot war with a major geostrategic rival of ours.

    I'm not saying this for domestic political reasons, or moral reasons, I think from a pure realpolitik perspective of someone who supports Ukraine, it wasn't a smart move.

    But, I could be wrong, maybe it helps Ukraine in the long-term, or maybe it has no impact at all. Maybe we'll never know, I just know that doesn't sit right with me personally.

    Regardless, my personal feelings aren't relevant to, and I genuinely hope this does end up being a net positive action.

  • What's your juicy work drama that you just want to tell us about?
  • Probably, but none that I'd actually invest my own time and effort into. I was just making an offhand observation, not starting an investigation.

    The furthest I might be willing to go, would be to provide some constructive criticism, but I'd even have to mull that over i.e. weigh the risk I'm just helping fine-tune a LLM model, for free...so...yeah...

  • What's your juicy work drama that you just want to tell us about?
  • I genuinely can't tell if you're an elaborate troll, LLM, or just autistic.

    I don't mean any of those as an insult, just to say that you have a very distinct prose that really comes through when you write more than a sentence, or two.

    Given your post history, I'm leaning towards LLM, but I'm open to being wrong.

  • Magic mushrooms ‘can improve sex lives in struggling marriages’
  • That, and it's often cut and pressed with other stimulants, like amphetamines.

    The trick was to get hard before you peak, or get some little blue pills to stack with.

    Although, if you're already hypertensive, probably not a good idea to mix them - or take either of those in general.

    But all of this is based on my rather hazy recollection of people I was around quite a long time ago, so take it all with a grain of salt.

  • Hey, fuck you... just kidding.

    TBH I just clicked on this when scrolling All and didn't even notice what community it was until well into my comment taking off with replies.

    The conversation evolved, and devolved, from there. Not much to do about it now.

  • Alright chucklefuck, pointing out that one whiney dick is throwing a tantrum has no logical bearing on the labor movement writ large, or my support of it.

    Like I said, next level irony in your projection.
