I can never understand Bannon's weirdo metaphors. What the heck does noon have to do with a bombing run? He's one step from that whole "if you don't master your fear, your fear will be your master" kind of BS.

Cool cool cool. I'm sure this will go great for them.

Jokes on them, they already nuked loan forgiveness. It's like when they tried to threaten my shop with withholding (duly authorized) funds because my shop had DEI.

The head of my shop replied "You already canceled everything for the future and are currently violating the law by withholding past due funds as it is, so this means nothing. Go sit on it" and drastically ramped up our DEI dept.

Not that I was planning to buy any more Rockstar games, but this definitely doesn't help.

After a set period of time, they expire. Life +50 to Life +90 or so, depending on country.

Agreed, no chastisement here, just pointing out that it's a bit 'preaching to the converted'. Though as someone in this thread considered it a final straw, clearly it was of some use.

Judging by US politics since Gore was handed a loss by the SCOTUS and the brother of his opponent - they won't do a damn thing.

IMO, it's going to have to get much worse before it snaps, and when it snaps and there's an Arab Spring moment, it's going to be too late to recover any of it.

The world power era of the USA is over. The 'dangerous rogue nuclear state' era is here.

Stuff like this is why I left the dem party, they're only strong opponents to progressives, not conservatives. The best summary I ever saw of them was: GOP: "fascism" DNC: "fascism ✨🏳️‍🌈"

I believe this states the take many have - much like nobody batted an eye about auto-contrast, content-aware fill, or line smoothing. They weren't trying to replace humans with programs, weren't causing huge environmental impact, and weren't trained on stolen content. It's the ham-handed implementation that most are opposed to, combined with the obnoxious techbro mentality.

TBF, Target largely brought this on themselves before the DEI stuff. They're more expensive here than a proper dept store, and everything is locked in plastic and takes forever to get.

Can't boycott what I already wasn't using.
