    Many of my friends who live in Houston and suburbs are some of the angriest people I know. I think I understand why. Other than the place being an ugly ass concrete jungle mired in shit humid weather, Houston drivers are absolute idiots. It's lord of the flies on the freeways. Ragey agro, inconsiderate drivers added to how big the fucking metro area is, how far you have to drive to go anywhere, and the shittastic traffic means you have a whole city full of angry ass people.

    I had to make the drive from The Woodlands down to the Beltway / Bellaire area a couple of months ago. I would snap and be in prison or dead if I had to do that drive more than once a week.

    I said this before the election and immediately following. All of the potential good that Joe Biden did is completely nullified by Donald Trump being reelected (both literally and figuratively) and the fact is that his refusal to serve as a one term president from the outset will perhaps make him the worst president in history, not because of policy, but because he basically gifted the white house to a tyrannical king dictator piece of shit instead of saving America from the brink of collapse and turning a new leaf and defeating the comoletely fucking stupid MAGA movement that has now become the ruling power. 

    It doesn't matter how beautiful your home and its furnishings are if you light it on fire and cancel your insurance right before. 

    Incredulity is a fucking idiot. 

    It’s not on Biden that the American voting public is full of racist dumbasses. Voters need to be held accountable. Leopards eating faces and other forms of FAFO are that accountability.

    I'm a Global Alliance Manager for a big tech company, and I call on 3 of the I6 global outsourcer/integrators. Also a few outsourcers who's US footprint is about 90% H1B employees. I can tell you some horror stories about the shortcuts they take to save money.

    Brisket is right about knowing how they operate and planning your negotiation accordingly. Be patient, understand the pursuit is going to take longer than it should, never offer a discount based on an EOQ deal or some other artificial date. You've just reset the starting point in the negotiation to the "discount" price. Understand their contract with their end user and find leverage there, etc. 

    I would refuse to deal with them. Fuck ‘em.

    Apropos VPNs

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/05/vpn-firm-says-it-didnt-know-customers-had-lifetime-subscriptions-cancels-them/

    The new owners of VPN provider VPNSecure have drawn ire after canceling lifetime subscriptions. The owners told customers that they didn’t know about the lifetime subscriptions when they bought VPNSecure, and they cannot honor the purchases.

    In March, complaints started appearing online about lifetime subscriptions to VPNSecure no longer working.

    The first public response Ars Technica found came on April 28, when lifetime subscription holders reported receiving an email from the VPN provider saying:

    To continue providing a secure and high-quality experience for all users, Lifetime Deal accounts have now been deactivated as of April 28th, 2025.

    A copy of the email from “The VPN Secure Team” and posted on Reddit notes that VPNSecure had previously deactivated accounts with lifetime subscriptions that it said hadn’t been used in “over 6 months.” The message noted that VPNSecure was acquired in 2023, “including the technology, domain, and customer database—but not the liabilities.” The email continues:

    Unfortunately, the previous owner did not disclose that thousands of Lifetime Deals (LTDs) had been sold through platforms like StackSocial.

    We discovered this only months later—when a large portion of our resources were strained by these LTD accounts and high support volume from users, who through part of the database, provided no sustaining income to help us improve and maintain the service.

    I’m not sure how a lack of due diligence in the acquiring company’s behalf means they can shut off your shit without some sort of compensation.

    There are some incredibly hot Indian women, and some incredibly not-hot Indian women. 

    It's difficult to find the BMI sweet spot in the Indian gene pool.  They are either grotesquely obese or built like malnourished refugees (because a lot of them are).

    Did you miss the proposed legislation to ban porn?

    Not porn, rather "Free expressionism" which will be tastefully done.  Ala the current First Whore, Melanie, showing her gash all those years ago.

    What do economically advanced societies do with the 50% of their population with an IQ of 100 or below?

    A small part of that segment can always go an alternative route:

    The other thing is that this is probably what Medicare will pay for that drug, not what you, I, or our insurance company will pay for that drug.

    And Pharma is gonna sue the shit out of the Administration and this will not take effect, if at all, for years.

    Executive Orders that do something good get delayed for years before dying. Executive Orders that do bad stuff get enacted immediately and stay in effect for years while being appealed.
