No no even with aerospace, you’re good now. We’re deregulating everything. It’ll be fine. Definitely won’t be catastrophic. Don’t worry about it. 🫠

That sounds like a rad concept for a game. I’d be interested in it.

I would like to once again congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs

In the context of engineering and technology: it’s a broader issue. It’s a matter of engineers either refusing to accept responsibility and accountability around the systems they build and the societal effects they have, or failing that, the companies that said engineers work for preventing them from doing so because profitability.

I say this as an engineer who has come to care a whole fucking lot about engineering ethics.

lol ok, but HP is still a bag of dicks

Doing illegal things is the new black, haven’t you heard?

Also, how exactly would they catch anyone doing this?

lol ok sure. Fucking go for it. I have genuinely stopped caring about whatever fucking idiocy goes on below the mason dixon line at this point. Fucking confeds.

This meme is bad and you should feel bad

Haha come on, I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, and climate change is just one of the things fueling my mental health crisis. SMH filthy casuals.

quickly vendors installed packages

I’m not importing anything. What are you talking about?

Edit: heh, it works on two levels

This is… far, far too real

Waiting for the prescription stims to kick

Merp, sorry, must have been disassociating or something

If you’re not a US citizen - in fact, if you’re not a natural-born US citizen - seriously consider whether you want to go at all. There’s a significantly higher chance they’ll stick you on a plane somewhere and ignore much or all of the bureaucracy that was intended to prevent systemic abuses like this in the past.

They’ve completed 42% of the plan so far. Yes, really. No, not a joke. There’s a site keeping track of it (that I hope is hosted outside of the US).

The hubris is just absolutely infuriating

I will find a way to supply you with tea thoroughly for the rest of your natural life if you take that orange fuck off our hands

I am going to LOVE seeing all the old “fraudsters” who voted for them getting fed up and ventilating some politicians. But they’re probably trying to incite violence anyways so they can have a crackdown, so… yeah… we’re fucked six ways from Sunday

It’s even funnier because last I heard, the NGAD was maybe getting cancelled, because aerial combat paradigms are changing a LOT. The B-21 is rumored to be able to carry a LOT of AIM-120Ds (and there’s a swath of new stealthy and/or long-range Fox-3s on the cusp of deployment); between that, AWACS, and a few F-35s running point as sensor platforms, you could theoretically wreck whole airforces with a dozen or so B-21s just hanging back and lobbing missiles for a while.

But orangeboi want fast plane name for him so he get good fast plane. Pay no mind to the fact that it’ll certainly not be taking advantage of economies of scale (on top of the F-35 cancellations from Portugal, and serious reconsideration by Canada and several EU countries), because they surely won’t approve export to anyone (except Russia maybe? Who knows). Air combat maneuver is going to be a fully obsolete domain the second we get workable energy weapons, and we’re already deploying shit like that as a CWIS replacement on destroyers. High-maneuverability will be owned by drones (can you pull 30Gs indefinitely? Because a bunch of integrated circuits can, if you package it the right way). Human-crewed aircraft will be strategic/oversight platforms. This is frankly a silly investment in an area of defense tech that is actually kind of a dead end at this point due to other advances. As much as I love flight sims and the physics of ACM, its just going to stop mattering at some point in real life military conflicts.

All in all, absolutely not shocked he’s done this, and it’s true to form in a lot of ways.
