I have a president and I want him dressed in black. No colour anymore just have him dressed in black.
I see mourners walk by dressed in the proper clothes. I have to turn my head as my embarrassment grows.
I see a group of leaders. They're all dressed in black.
None complaining of their seating like that whining sack.
He holds his hand out but they quickly turn away. Like a newborn baby he behaves like this every fucking day.

I fail to see how technology makes my life easier when I get interrupted from what I am doing by a notification inviting me to explore my new Gemini capability, that I never asked for, and have to spend half an hour shutting it down on all my Android devices. #capitalism #infosec #technology #asshats

Yes, I know - inconsistencies and missing mentions. But these are the things that either have involved/ involve changes to my personal spending patterns or are topically connected to other boycotts. I don't eat animals or live in US, so many other retail-/ food-related boycotts are not relevant for me.
Also I'm anti-genocide and pro-human rights but not an antisemite, so don't even.
If you have positive advice about other boycotts I should consider anyway because of #Fascism, #Billionaires, or other basic #Asshats please lmk in comments!
Article on Polish tech news site on how Streamyard screwed over our tiny not-for-profit (and, no doubt others) by automatically upgrading us to a plan at twice the price.

"Hmm... okay... here it is, in details."
"Oh, how about this time, which clearly is not within the time range you gave me. "

Between the #asshats who have already decided, before ever talking to me, that I must be a clueless idiot because I’m #Infosec, and all the asshats who are Infosec and believe that this entitles them to behave like clueless idiots, I sometimes wonder if there’s any way to retire from this field with an intact psyche.
‘Minimal progress’ made this year on curbing global heating, report finds (because politicians are talking out of their rear ends) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/14/minimal-progress-global-heating-report-cop29?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #ClimateEmergency #GlobalHeating #Asshats
The average 5th grader knows more about the signers of the Declaration of Independence than Marjorie Taylor Greene.

@realTuckFrumper Guessing “Democratic” insurrectionists looking to dump President Biden are the same ones who wanted to turf Speaker Pelosi before the last cycle. Trump and Putin must really be enjoying their support. Take names and remember ………. #asshats

These people are lying about who is causing the violence. This is very concerning to me, as the tactic of lying among these people is a prelude to their own violence, and they have no inhibitions about using violence.
They are trained to steel themselves from the human connection. They are all lethal force and self-protection during offense, bringing force to bear. They love it.
They polarize situations and use this as justification for committing inhuman violence.
Reality goggles make this crystal clear to all who wish to see.

Nextdoor is like an asshat millenary. I post my opposition to the Israel Government mass slaughter of Palestinians, and some asshat calls me a terrorist. Then another asshat defends me using an anti-Jewish slur, which I call out. The second asshat calls me a terrorist and the first asshat likes my comment. #Extremism #Asshats #MilitantMillenors

"Biden casts the election as prom night for the voters who ‘brung me to the dance’"
Brung?
I've searched for Biden's usage of this non-standard form, and I cannot find any other source than AP. No other article. No video. Nothing. (Be careful if you do your own search, some articles are the AP article under a new skin.)
It really feels like the AP decided to act as a douchenozzle here, and play the ageism card.
Bravo asshats!
Here's an article on the distinction:
