  • Just remember that with challenges like that, the main purpose is to guage your problem solving skills. You don’t necessarily have to complete the challenge in time, don’t necessarily have to make it work error free, etc. They want to see how you work through it all. Don’t get me wrong, if you ace the challenge, that’s great. But they mostly want to make sure you have the fundamentals and skills to comprehend the problem and work through to a solution.


  • I doubt that he’s being fired for incompetence. For one, he was clearly never hired for competence. He was hired for being a familiar face and a sycophant like all the others. For another, he’s far from the only incompetent and embarassing cabinet member in the regime. I think Pete got a bit too big for his britches for Trump. He’s the only one in the administration that I think could actually get a fair amount of the MAGA cult to follow him personally after Trump’s demise and would have been in a prime position to attempt a coup on Vance if and when that happens. Trump likely doesnt give a shit what happens after he’s bounced from this plane of existence, but he might see Hegseth as a threat sooner rather than later.




  • I’m no economist but… how does enforcing a price floor help you to compete with China who already has the market cornered, and does so with lower prices? If my competition has 75% market share to my 10%, the only way I have to make up that difference at all is for demand that they can’t meet to go up (which is out of my control), or to either provide a better product, or give them the same product at a lower price to attract more customers. Setting a price floor just took one of my levers away, and the other lever, product improvement, costs money that I don’t have. So… this is just going to kill competition with China, kill American businesses and give China room to make even more money. Am I missing something?




  • “Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,”

    My guy, how fucking dare you. How the entire fuck do you dare compare the assassination of a guy, any guy, to the death and destruction on the scale of 9/11. Someone should slap this man for even saying such an absolutely insulting piece of bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck you.

    “Just as after 9/11, and Osama bin Laden, the ultimate culprit, was captured, we are operationalizing the Treasury, and we are going to track down who is responsible for this.”

    A) Bin Laden wasn’t captured, he was killed on sight. B) There is absolutely no reason to think that Charlie Kirk’s killer didn’t act entirely independently, nor that he was connected to ANY left wing groups formally or informally, nor that anyone else knew about this assaination plan, let along helped to arrange it before hand. C) Since when is investigating assassinations in the purview of the Treasury in the first place? And what possible (legal) means and methods could you even use to do that from within the US Treasury? We all know you’re about to make up some more bullshit to target political enemies. Just do it and drop the stupid pretense.


  • Particularly one that is not solely cosmetic and will have a substantial impact on his sexual experience as an adult. That skin is meant to be there, it protects the sensitive parts of the penis from over stimulation when not erect. This constant stimulation on the head of the penis from clothing makes it less sensitive over time. And the skin being removed, itself, has sensitive nerve endings. Removing this skin means that circumcised men simply do not experience that same level of sensation from sex as they would have otherwise.

    Beyond that. There are risks as well such as too much skin being removed causing the skin to become stretched with an erection, which can be painful and a possible source of sores and infection.

    There is no good reason for it except. In the US, at least, it stems from weird prudish attempts stop boys from masturbating and has since then just become a norm that isn’t questioned. Well question it. Forget it is the “normal” thing for a second. Would you cut off your daughter’s labia to make it easier to keep clean or not breed bacteria or pass on STD’s or whatever other justification they have for circumcision? Are there any other parts of your newborn you want to permanently remove? To flay off? No? Then dont do it to your son’s penis.


  • It happens. There’s not typically a lot of attention drawn to them because it doesn’t sell tabloids to show pictures of normal people. But in all fairness to those that really don’t, it’s gotta be very hard for a few reasons. A) they don’t spend a lot of time meeting and socializing with normal non-rich people by the nature of their work and the culture of their industry. B) It can also be challenging for anyone to deal with and relate to such different life styles and dynamics. Celebrity, wealth, public opinion… how does a working guy or gal deal with all of that from a significant other. Not easily, I’m sure. Especially if the relationship is new.




  • I had a similar conversation with a friend in college who alleged that waking up after 9am meant that you are lazy. In all cases. Period.

    Stayed up until 3am partying with your friends? Better still be up by 9.

    Took the Redeye which didn’t land until 5am? Oof, enjoy your few hours remaining but don’t sleep in…

    Work a double shift through the night until 8am? Did I fucking stutter, you can only sleep until 9am, you useless fuck!

    Idk… seems silly and arbitrary.
