I've seen this account come up a large number of times and I'm convinced at this point that it's a bot. Putin isn't 100% sure he can control Trump, mainly because even Trump doesn't know what he's doing minute to minute. It's also starting to realise that Trump is going to go down in flames, so they're trying to find a new avatar, so all the Russian bot accounts are now starting to hate on Trump, so that his replacement won't have to deal with the MAGA extremists quite so much.

But in fairness the only evidence of that was his past presidency and business dealings, and that would have required paying a modicum of attention. Which is beyond their intellectual capacity.

Theirs their MO.

Plays stupid games, wins their stupid prize, then complains about the quality of the prize. Then repeat ad nauseam.

The very definition of insanity.

Every story about a bakery I've ever heard is them doing stuff like this. I'm convinced it's a global conspiracy. Forgot the Freemasons, it's the intentional cabal of cake decorators I'm worried about.

Well the back need some safe bets as a baseline.

I always pay my loans back on time and every now and then the bank rise my credit limit. I think it's because I also have a bank account with them and they can see I have the money ready to go. I don't make much money for them, but I do make a consistent amount and the banks like that too.

I don't understand how the car wash mode is supposed to protect the electronics. Does the water do what it's told as long as there is the right setting?

Surely all the criminals need to do is just wait until it rains and then commit crimes. As long as they escape through a shallow puddle the cyber truck will be unable to follow.

renders the new PDFs as images, not text, to make sure that you can't read the redacted bits afterwards.

Wow what an advanced feature. Actually redacting things.

What's insanely stupid about all of this is there's no way that doge knew that those accounts were inactive. Their definition of inactive will have been, it hasn't been used in 31 days. Since that's an easy metric to pull up.

But so what? There are licenced applications that I use at work that are only used once every two to three months. There js stuff that I only need in January, February and March because it's related to mitigating problems caused by poor weather conditions, outside of those months the weather is usually pretty mild.

So I guarantee that they caused a wave of IT support tickets a couple of weeks later from people that now needed to use the applications and had found that they had been there removed, without anyone talking to the relevant parties.

Most Nazis can't help but tell you about themselves. All you have to do is talk to them for 15 seconds.

I don't think they were trying to say that it should be minimised. But we should define crimes precisely. After all we make a distinction between murder by intent, murder by negligence, and murder by proxy. They're all still murder, and they all still result in lifetime sentences, but we make the distinction.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
