They genuinely believe they're identifying and defeating a mass fraud conspiracy. Fox News and worse have done a phenomenal job of building echo chambers that convince them the libs are a bunch of cheating charlatans and that's the only reason they have the popular vote.

Their worldview is completely wrapped around this and so anything to the contrary is ignored as evidence of the conspiracy.

This is the heart of the plan. Postal delays ensuring these votes won't be counted. Nothing "illegal" about "incompetence".

Can we remove the Copilot integration into fucking everything next?

You've hit the nail on the head with the Infinite Growth statement. Most companies see AI as the next way to cut bottom line costs and hit those annual goals. It's an ouroboros that most companies haven't seen the end of yet. Eventually they'll be left with no talent (arguably the most valuable thing a company can acquire) and uninteresting products nobody is interested in.

How do you train newbies into useful employees when you let AI handle the easy stuff. Where's your pipeline of promotions so you're developing your next generation of developers? Once the shit starts to hit the fan, you'll see them crumble and ask how we got here. Human talent takes YEARS to cultivate and is extremely hard to buy, especially when competition builds from reducing the supply when people stop going into these fields for lack of entry-level jobs.

I mean.... I think it depends on the guy. Some guys have a strong body odor and first impressions matter a LOT. Also dates are usually at the end of the day when y'all are at your stankiest from the day's activities.

Jeff Hays is the GOAT of audiobook narration!

There's a reason they removed "Don't be Evil" from their corporate tenets. The almighty dollar comes first to them and they refuse to risk angering The Orange One.
