  • Honestly, I don’t know if we’ll find out what the real bribe amounts are until some people’s memoirs are published after they die or are out of the rat race in the US. It’s too soon.

    Million dollar dinners are a thing though that have hit the news multiple times this year. Who knows how much it costs to kiss the ring in reality, but you can bet your ass all these rich crooks getting pardons in the news right now have paid up… and the ones who have paid for those dinners seem to have the government on their side, so long as they do not say anything negative about the administration.


  • No sir, you misunderstand.

    This is the 21st century american version of paying for indulgences. However, we’re not talking about holy sins, we’re talking about a total pardon for all known and unknown crimes, immunity from prosecution by the government and perhaps even prosecution against any enemies you may have whom have not also paid for their million dollar dinner.

    You’re not just paying for the best plate of food available at the million dollar dinner for those paying the price, they’re offering true honest to god fixing of whatever regulatory and legal hurdles you might have… and for a special price they can upgrade you to the gold tier which includes fixing supreme court judgements in nearly any case.

    Act now! Dinner times and their benefits are limited for three years, death by natural causes or if impeached or otherwise removed from office. The sooner you buy, the sooner you win!


  • If you ask me, what we really need is an army of bots going around and literally DMCAing absolutely everything on behalf of every business out there that is submitting DMCA requests. Make the process practically impossible to police until someone forces a legislation action that fixes the whole system.

    Erroneous DMCA requests should be so severe that once one is reported by a company authorized to perform the requests on behalf of the IP holder, the IP holder should be barred from any agents on their behalf performing them for a time period of at least 90 days… with treble fines. It would be so much fun creating content that baits DMCA but is clearly fair use to break all their shit.

    Unless someone is copying what you do nearly 1:1, dmca should not be valid. These clowns and crooks running for office talk all about how regulation stifles innovation and this is a true case for sure. So many small business owners are getting fucked by the wild west of DMCA takedowns today.





  • I interviewed once for an IT manager role at MIT’s Whitehead Institute and I shit you not the hiring manager actually said the documentation for absolutely everything in their environment was perfect, and that everyone on the team documented things very well.

    Almost everybody who works there in IT has decades of seniority. I’ve never met a lifer who was great at documentation, let alone an entire team. Pretty sure the guy was just fulfilling some quota of external interviews so they could promote whatever guy was to get the role internally.
