Enjoy your Easter weekend! I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
She’s been mentally unfit for decades, why change now just because people admit it.
It has been proven that there is no such thing as mentally unfit to serve.
The issue with people that think being senile is a disqualifier is that they believe the word “serve” implies being able to do the job to serve the people. The crooks interpret the “serve” part as making themselves and those connected to them money. You can be a corpse and still allow grifters to keep grifting off you.
She just needs a new Chinese spy to help her get around.
“Musk Reveals During TED Talk That ‘There Is’ A ‘Plan B’ If Twitter Rejects His Offer To Buy The Company”
I think Plan B was to show people that twitter is really a failed investment company but continues to exist because it is a convenient mechanism for the cabal of global shady elite can use it to control the narrative. and that’s already made clear which is why the fuckwads are so pissed at him and now investigating him
A narrative they are the prime consumers of, not other people. Now, does that help them coordinate, sure, but it isn’t the main source of pushing the narrative to anyone but the true believers.
Influencing others is goal they surely would like to achieve, but the most important thing is to keep the useful idiots as both idiots and useful that way.
Is there a main source? If so, what do you think it is?
It’s a snake without a head, but it knows to act like a snake, because it’s entirely made of snake.
The mainstream media. Remember, we are not a representative audience.
One of us said yesterday or the day before about how his wife is a good representative of the normie population. Mine too. If she’s got the news on and I sit down, she changes the channel because she knows I’ll start ranting about it.
Twitter doesn’t originate the content so much as facilitate or hinder its dissemination. Conventional TV (broadcast/cable) is in a similar position to Twitter (and other large social media platforms). Put another way, the MSM operates through many media: conventional TV, streaming, social networks, reader apps, etc.
My wife DVRs the national news and only watches it when I’m out of the room, same reason.
Leaving the debates
???
Peaceful divorce
Anything but. And all I have to say is better late than never. These debates have been rigged since as early as the early 2000s (and maybe even earlier), and the idiots that thought if they kept playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules against the team fighting with prison rules, they somehow would overcome that bias and abuse, only were able to finally pull the trigger because an outsider came in and wrecked the racket they were running. Team blue and team red were both dangerously statist entities until an asshat took over team red and forced it to start changing. As with religion, where the heretics tend to be the ones to receive the worst from the true believers, NeverTrumper statists in team red just still can’t help trying to fight the fact that their old ways are never going to win and people they used to bamboozle and rob blind have decided to do away with them. It doesn’t have to be Trump that keeps this movement to reform team red into an entity that actually does the will of the people, but it should never again be allowed to be another state approved stooge that we are given as their choice.
I remember my parents gave me a book on fallacies right around the 2000 election. I remember seeing one of the debates and realizing not a single question or answer was good
What became obvious to me the first time I was able to actually understand the Q&A was that politicians did nothing but lie and waffle, regardless of party. Some of them had a little bit more honor than the other, but the choice was always between shit and a bigger pile of shit. And things kept getting worse and worse as the choices they foisted on us became less and less decent.
The big problem we have is that the credentialed elite mandarinate wants a hereditary aristocracy as they see their offspring become dumber and more inept than they are themselves. In a country where the vast majority of people believed that achievement should decide who remains on top, these credentialed elite saw the righting on the wall. That’s why we have the whole globalist fucking reset movement.
That really became the norm with the Clintons.
That’s when the strategy of ignoring questions and filling the time with rehearsed talking points became the norm. Also about journalists started tolerating that bullshit instead of stomping on it because they were infatuated with the Clintons.
I’m not sure if it was the Clintons per se or something passed around the MBA / political cocktail parties. The CEOs and other corp spokespeople around the same time (okay, maybe they were before but I wasn’t paying attention yet) started doing that too. Asked a direct question — and it would always be cycled back to the talking points instead of actually answered. Ugh… thanks for making me remember Carly Fiorina.
Oh, that favoritism existed long before the Clintons. sure, the Clintons are likely the first time they actually cheered on and protected some scumbag, but long before they got to that point the tactic was to paint the people they didn’t like as negatively as possible. Look at how they treated Nixon for trying to use government agencies to cheat, then a few decades later protected the Obama administration while it made Nixon spin his grave from the real abuses of the weaponized government. How they went after Reagan, whom still managed to run circles around them until his mind went, or those Bush assholes, but protected Clinton and then Obama. Shit, look at how they treated Trump, actively lying to try to get rid of him for 4 years, then working hand in hand with the curroptocracy to “fortify” Trump out of office. Look how they kept trying to protect Biden, and to some extend still do, despite the fact that the writing is on the wall and most of us know he is nothing but the marionette being played by the people really driving this country over the cliff into the abyss, all so they can make sure the new world order leaves them on top despite the fact they are underserving mediocre to outright stupid assholes.
Also, Good Morning, Banjos.
“Donald Trump insists he won’t return to Twitter if Elon Musk buys it‘
I call bullshit. This guy’s one biggest fail/bonus is his narcissism, and he would not be able to resist going back just so he could troll the left.
DiFi is 88, WTF is she doing in a position of power?

No wonder the bills are 10000 pages, the font has to be huge.
Don’t be silly.
The senators don’t read the legislation. If they care what’s in it, that’s what Aides are for.
*Sensible chuckle*
She is doing the same thing as Pelosi, Schumer, and Cocaine Mitch: raking in the real money by robbing the tax payers. Robbing banks is for amateurs: the real hardcore criminals go into government where you can steal billions.
If only she could find her keys.
She would be a good dance partner for Lonely Joe. It is sad to see old people behave like this in public. I blame their family and friends for allowing them to wander into daily traffic.
Morning! Due to an infestation of children at the house today, I am up early. I think Musk will coordinate with large mutual funds to take over Twitter after the price tanks. Twitter’s stock price has been going down for a year, ever since they went woke. They will never recover their value or get a better offer than Musk gave them.

Never a good idea to mess with someone with their own ballistic missile program, after all… (folks don’t always remember that the space program was originally and primarily a “See how reliable and accurate we can make our rockets we could just throw some warheads on…” after all…)
“California doubling down on their retardation”
Way to motivate these entities to look for ways to leave your state!
If this is the same bill as earlier, the rule doesn’t apply to union shops, so it’s really a way to force places to unionize. Gotta reward your donors.
The problem is stupid worker types don’t understand how unions are so great. They keep voting against unionizing which means they are voting against their own interests and need smart, benevolent people to lead them so they aren’t just duped. [eyes roll, right out the door and down the hall]
Plus, until it gets further in the legislature it isn’t worth worrying about too much. Even with the super-majority uniparty rule, there’s still a lot of dumb crap that doesn’t fly proposed by random idiots in Sacramento.
Company execs take notice of that crap, though. They’re just as aware as anybody else of the practice of sending up trial balloons.
Sir, I will have you know that the idiots in Sacramento are not random, they are carefully curated!
Can I assume this applies to any entity doing business there? Large companies can simply move those jobs to another state.
The Republican National Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to withdraw from participating in presidential debates hosted by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has hosted those debates since 1988.
Republicans failing to participate in clearly biased

Candy Crowley – as the moderator – will just read off what lies the GOP candidate would surely have spewed if he had been there.
A podium with an actual straw man will be placed on the stage. The strawman will be wearing a navy blue suit, a flag lapel pin and a red tie.
So the debate will be just like all the old ones.

President Joe Biden was more involved in Hunter Biden’s financial and business dealings than previously acknowledged, allowing his son to pay some of his bills, diverting one of his tax refunds to his son, rubbing elbows with the first son’s foreign clients and even directly referring a friend who wanted to “do some work” with his son, according to email and text messages reviewed by Just the News.

https://euromaidanpress.com/2022/04/15/russian-nuclear-capable-flagship-moskva-sinks-after-ukrainian-missile-strike/
Apparently, Russia confirmed they lost their flagship in the Black Sea.
Lulz.
Yeah, I thought that after the USS Stark, putting ships anywhere near land was considered A Bad Idea.
USS Cole not Stark. The Stark was attacked by air-launched anti-ship missiles.
I wonder if this sort of thing makes a case for battleships. While they are big and not that fast compared to other ships, they have lots of armament and heavy armoring and can take a lot of hits and still be in the fight. Instead of 16-inch guns, multiple missile batteries and redundant anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses.
I’m obviously not a Navy man, I just like the idea of battleships.
You can always solve the problem of creating a weapon that can overcome any protection implemented by the opponent faster & cheaper than you can create better protections. Same with the battleship. The Soviets solved that problem by creating missiles that traveled at mach 2 with a ton or more of explosives in them to deal with the US Navy carriers & reactivated battleships (which BTW was what the Slava ships were created and armed for). The failure here I am going to bet was one of training, and not equipment.
From the initial reports, the belief is that a Bayraktar drone was used to distract them by flying high and just out of optimal engagement range (using a missile that costs close to a million dollar to shoot down a drone that couldn’t do you any serious harm likely was determined to not be a viable response) while a shore battery fired the missiles from the opposite side. The thing here is that the modernization efforts that the Moskva underwent recently put in an electronic suite that easily should have detected and countermeasured the land launched Neptun missiles (land launched variants of the Kayak AS-20), but didn’t. At 12800 tons displacement even 2 Neptun hits should not have done much damage if the crew could do proper damage control. My guess is one of the missiles impacted one or more of the SS-N-12 ASM or the VLS magazine of the SA-6 SAMs and detonated that, making the ship unsalvageable.
^^
A meme.
What I am worried about is that the USSR had the practice of making at least 2 of those 12/16 SS-N-12 missiles on the Slava/Kirov class cruisers the nuclear variants (they knew US carriers could take more than 4 or 5 hits and still remain afloat, and wanted a quick kill capability the nuke gave them). While I would like to believe the Russians decided these nuclear tipped missiles were too dangerous/onerous to maintain, I do have to wonder if we have a sunk ship in the Black Sea now with nuclear material polluting the environment….
nuclear material polluting the environment
It wouldn’t be the first time.
Wot? Cole was hit by a suicide boat while in port. Not during active hostilities.
But yeah, probably a case of hitting other explosives or more likely degraded DC equipment and capabilities.
They are sending in their older ships to be sunk since it costs too much to scrap them.
“Euromaidan Press”
I have a doubt
https://www.wsj.com/articles/russias-sunken-warship-moskva-recalls-great-world-war-ii-naval-battles-11650021090
its demise recalled great naval battles of the past that are remembered as turning points
Yeah, ok…
What was the General Belgrano, chopped liver? (aka the former USS Phoenix)
While it is interesting that the RF lost the cruiser, it is not the Battle of Midway or the repeated battles in the waters around Guadalcanal.
Ironically, the British took heavier naval losses than the Argentines, but are a lot less bitter about it, and of course still won.

Moment a confused looking Biden sticks out his hand and appears to shake thin air after falsely claiming in speech that he had also been a ‘full professor’ at UPenn for four years
Tbf he was probably just looking for his handlers. But that doesn’t make him any less senile or confused. And, c’mon man. He was the best professor since sliced cheese. Just like he was a trucker with Cornpop. Or something.
Tbf he was probably just looking for his handlers.
There was a podium next to him. It was clear to me (not sure why I watched the video…) that somebody had been at the podium when he started talking, but he didn’t notice that they had stepped down. Then he scanned the crowd looking for his entourage and walked over to them. Of course, anybody who has been on a stage with the lights on knows how hard it is to see the crowd.
Regardless of his actual mental deterioration, this video was not evidence of anything except for a poorly planned exit by his team.
I watched the video and I think he held his hand out to present and acknowledge the band as they started playing. He looked dopey, but I don’t think it was meant as a handshake gesture.
It’s just something you’d expect from someone who never goes on stage.
Not really the career politician at the highest level
Agreed, and I can’t tell if that’s Ol’ Joe forgetting the script, or if his team left him stranded up there through negligence. Embarrassing, but not exactly “senile old man has attack of sundowners and wanders stage confusedly” as some billed it.

“A YouGov poll from January shows that 58% of Americans want an age limit for elected officials — forcible retirement at age 70. If something like that passed now, 71% of U.S. Senators would be out of a job.”
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/04/our-geriatric-political-class-needs-to-go.php
I don’t think we should discriminate by age, but if that’s how we get term limits, so be it.
Unless and until term limits are also imposed upon the people who don’t even have to run for election, they will be worse than useless.
Im pissed at myself. Im pissed that I was ‘too busy’ to mail a fucking tin lid to trashy. I need to find a new headspace.
Well it can go here I guess.
The news is a gut punch but it’s a gut punch to all of us. Don’t blame yourself.
They force us to retire by 70, so why can’t we return the favor?
I think 60, if they aren’t smart enough to steal a good retirement by 60 they are to damned dumb to making decisions for other people.
I think they stay, not because of the stealing thing, which is certainly motivation all by itself, but so they can make sure to have the power to protect themselves. Once you are out some go getter might just fuck you over to get even.
have the power to protect themselves
Not just themselves, their corrupt offspring and friends. Money and power.
It’s American royalty.
I realize it’s politicians, but it sounds like another idiotic attempt to replace experience with ideology.

It was looking grim, but I rallied to avoid chumpdom
I’ve got a real smooth brain when it comes to stock stuff, but I was reading something about Goldman Sachs had Twitter at 30/share target price and Musk was offering 52/share and apparently they’d be breaking SEC laws to not take the offer. Is that right? How does Goldman Sachs and the target price matter? I understand responsibility to stockholders, but that part eludes me.
If GS says twitstock is worth $30, then $52 is more that it’s worth in GS’s opinion. For GS to then turn around and say “don’t sell, twitstock is worth much more than $52” means they’re lying to their clients in at least one case.
IANASB.
What authority does GS have? Do they hold people’s stocks for them? Are they twitters advisors? Sorry for the dumb questions.
They’ll be expert witness #1 when Musk sues.
I don’t know that they have authority per se, but they do have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients.
Who are their clients? Random people who have twatstock in their investment portfolio? I’m not even sure what GS does
Any mutual funds they control with twitter stock on hand would be the first indicator.
Their responsibility to stakeholders outweighs any responsibility to mere shareholders.
Lol
I don’t see how they can possibly twist their way out of accepting this or at least pushing it to a proxy vote. If they do that and then the board can recommend a “no” vote, they are probably going to be mired in lawsuits for years no matter what the outcome is, which may have been the whole point regardless. If Musk wins, Dorsey and other bigger shareholders will probably sue and if Musk fails, he and probably several larger institutional shareholders or a class action will sue due to the board not honoring their fiduciary obligations to the shareholders.
Elon’s plan I suspect is precisely this. At some point he declares the company’s leadership is not serving the stockholders, sells his shares, tanks the value, and sends them into massive litigation hell. He can then either gobble up the shares and do what he wants anyway, or simply watch the company burn down, in the process setting an example for the left’s abuse of corporate power (once Twatter is sued, I suspect a lot of other stockholders will start suing other companies – like Disney or Alphabet – for going woke and costing them money). In any case, this move is a brilliant attack that will hurt the machine that thought it had come up with a way to reset the loss of control of the narritve problem.
The one problem is that the machine will not just let this happen without fight..
I think you are right. The crazy conspiracy theories are the only way to reasonably explain what we see.
The one thing I am absolutely ecstatic about is that that asshole Agrawal is thoroughly fucked. According to his contract over 95% of his pay will be share options and that means that at this point no matter how things go, he will end up not only not being able to collect (the shares will either be denied for cause or be at such a high strike price they are worthless), but because of that failure will never be able to get another corporate level job because of his failure (unless the woke decide putting a failed leader in charge isn’t going to get them sued by their shareholders).
Doesn’t already have $14B? I think he’ll be OK.
The problem with his offer is it way over-values the company – something on the order of 100x the past 4 years average earnings (hell, last year they ran a $500M loss). That’s real money to be pissing away.
It is only pissed away if he thinks he can’t make money from whatever happens, and at this time, I believe he sees that regardless of what they do on the Twatter board, he ends up making money eventually. If he destroys Twatter and invests elsewhere or stand up his own he wins. If he takes it over and does what he wants then makes it public again, he wins. The damage he des to the left’s censorship machine is going to be a win regardless. And at this point the one move that the Twatter people had – to put him on the board, and leash & muzzle him – is dead. So maybe they are hoping the government can fuck Elon over, but that’s a big maybe.
As I pointed out: this is already a win because Agrawal is fucked.
There is one layer to this everyone is missing.
Remember the Obama administration and their Wall Street ties. Who were all those Wall Street guys with?
Goldman Sachs.
Twitter dumps their CEO for a woke propagandist. The entirety ot the left twisted themselves into Orwellian knots, ministry of Truth style, saying free speech is Naziism.
Twitter brings in Goldman Sachs to evaluate Musks offer, and despite a sell rating and a target price of $30, they say $54 is a nonstarter.
It seems to me that the machine behind all of the partisan censorship is way more extensive than just some woke employees. And they think controlling the message is more important than a few hundred billion dollars.
“It seems to me that the machine behind all of the partisan censorship is way more extensive than just some woke employees. And they think controlling the message is more important than a few hundred billion dollars.”
Of course it is.
Yes, and the baddies – Vanguard, SA, and BlackRock – immediately diving into the fray is very telling. Twitter is important to the regime.
Why?
I hope Musk has a good security team. He’s kicked over a hornet’s nest of very wealthy and powerful people.

The parts of GS are separate and firewalled. While there is most certainly some backdoor communication likely through intermediaries, the two parts of the organization are separate and completely allowed to have two completely different viewpoints on a transaction.
I don’t fault general folks for not knowing this, but financial market sites of various levels of credibility should damn well know this. But that don’t generate clicks…

Amazon raises prices to keep up with inflation
No!
But seriously, my Amazon wishlist never seems to get any shorter.
Me too. I really need to find another good list aggregator. A lot of stuff I want isn’t on Amazon. And I’d love to get away from the Amazon habit anyway.
For books and movies, I use libib.
Sounds like a business opportunity to make a list aggregator. Hmmm….
There are some out there, and I even think some do price comparisons, but I haven’t ported my lists out of Amazon since canceling Prime. It’s on my to do list (which I also need to find software to manage)
Assembly Bill 2932, introduced by Assemblymembers Evan Low and Cristina Garcia, would make a 32-hour workweek the standard for companies with more than 500 employees. Any work done over 32 hours would trigger overtime of at least 1.5 times the regular rate of pay, according to the bill. Additionally, any work above 12 hours in a day must be compensated at twice the regular pay rate.
What could go wrong?
They lost on their forced board room stunt, I cannot see how this would be able to stand either.

The US NAVY tested and verified the viability of lasers, not just against drones, but against incoming missiles back in 2015 using the USN Ponce as a testbed platform. In fact the NAVY is dragging their feet putting these on the existing DDG-51 Burke class destroyers because – they claim – of power generation issues, as a means to speed up their desire to field the new DDX platform with these lasers.
I think we’re behind on some of the practical R&D. Power generation/storage is always an issue if you’re adapting a fixed known design. DDG1000 was supposed to be the test bed of the high voltage systems (got to tour one this week) along with Ford. But they’re still ironing out the details and then you’ve got to redesign for the more compressed DDG 51 framework – although if they hammer it out before they start laying down the DDG51 flight III frames it might work.
The same dipshits who thought Russia would never invade are the ones betting for all of us that Russia won’t respond to further provocations.

Moscow would view US or NATO vehicles transporting arms inside Ukraine as “legitimate military targets.”
Seems to me they are legitimate military targets. Keep playing with fire, morons.
Yeah, if they’re inside Ukraine and transporting arms, I don’t see how there’s any question that they’re legit military targets.
When it was announced that DC might send a high level politician like Biden or Harris to Kiev, all I could think was “Are they out of their fucking minds?”
Turns out they’ve backed off from it, but somebody decided to float that insane idea and it scares me that it was even considered. There’s a large percentage of the ruling class that doesn’t see the danger in this whole situation or they just don’t care.
They are really fucking stupid. For reals.
I’m not sure they’re stupid so much as insulated from their reckless decisions. And by insulated, I mean quite literally in the form of deep underground bunkers.

According to media reports, the Royal Court of Jersey has ordered a freeze on $7 billion in assets believed to belong to Abramovich following a series of searches by police. According to a Forbes accounting, Abramovich is worth roughly $8 billion, so between the yachts mentioned above and this latest round, it’s possible he could see his wealth drop below the ten-figure threshold.

“Mystery as more than 100 people at New Jersey high school get rare brain cancer: Survivor claims contaminated soil from plant that processed uranium for first atomic bomb may have ended up on school grounds”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10720971/Mystery-100-people-New-Jersey-school-rare-brain-tumors-Al-Lupiano-Colonia-High.html
What’s going on?
Did Doctor Manhattan attend there?
Should be easy enough to see if there’s radiation above background at the school.
U238 and nearly every isotope has a ridiculously long half life. If there was any in and around the school it should be emitting alpha particles. They should be able to measure any abnormal levels.
The brain tumor aspect seems really specific. I would think since there was a ore processing center near their school these same people share water and air pollution sources. If there was something in the school the employees should be having issues at a much higher rate than the students.
The plant is in quite a densely populated area. If you draw 12 mile circle around there you will get quite a lot of population density.
Makes me wonder if something was used for fill or the like at the HS site.

The US Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency use authorization to the first Covid-19 test that spots chemical compounds associated with the coronavirus in breath, the agency said Thursday.
The FDA said the InspectIR Covid-19 Breathalyzer, which is about the size of a piece of carry-on luggage, can be used in medical offices and mobile testing sites. It can give results in less than three minutes.
The system separates and identifies chemical mixtures to detect five compounds associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
——-
“Today’s authorization is yet another example of the rapid innovation occurring with diagnostic tests for COVID-19,” Dr. Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in a statement. “The FDA continues to support the development of novel COVID-19 tests with the goal of advancing technologies that can help address the current pandemic and better position the U.S. for the next public health emergency.”

Finally! A gun instructor that a proggie can love. He’s black, he’s angry and he has the right views…
Both black gun instructors make a big deal out of the fact that they don’t open carry in Minnesoda because racists would surely shoot them dead. I’ve never seen anyone open carry here in Minnesoda. I guess the Norwegians and Swedes are worried that the Frenchies and Brits would blast them if they saw their Viking asses walking down the street with a shootin’ iron.
The Scandinavians do have a history of violence against the French and British.
They were only responding to the provocation of them trying to join NATO.
Back when we were having a big stink about whether Indians could fish for walleye with nets, there was a caller to a local radio show who was not impressed with the argument that it was part of their “traditional way of life”.
He said, “I’m Norwegian. Are you saying I could get in my boat and go across the lake and attack my French neighbor’s summer cabin? Because that is my “traditional way of life” as much as they are claiming.”
… being both English and Irish, I would be stuck oppressing myself on a potato farm.
Sounds hot.
Silly Swede. Whiteys don’t have traditions or cultures. That’s why it’s not cultural appropriation for black people to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Swede
WHAT! I grew up amongst the Norwegians. Swedes were the one group that the Nords really didn’t like. Well them and the Finndians (a really bad combination of Finns who lived and loved with the local Indians resulting in a super warlike/violent group that couldn’t handle their liquor).
All this infighting among lutefisk eaters is confusing to me.

I was feeling a bit taxed for a Friday.
The deadline for filing 2021 federal and state income tax returns this year will be April 18, instead of April 15, because of a government holiday celebrated in Washington, D.C.: Emancipation Day.
It will mark the third year in a row the Internal Revenue Service has extended the filing date for federal tax returns.
Has this writer ever filed taxes? The filing deadline routinely gets pushed back to the next workday if it’s on a holiday for one of the offices involved in processing returns.
I will be mailing a very large check to the IRS Monday… I am sure it will be blown on bullshit by them.
I am imaginging one of the comically oversized publisher’s clearinghouse checks…

Breakfast was delightful; toasted English muffins with a big schmear of leftover creamed spinach, upon which was laid leftover (thinly sliced) prime rib, topped with sunnyside eggs, and finished with a drizzle of Béarnaise. Prime rib is on sale at both Shoprite and Stop & Shop for $4.99per lb. through Sunday. The weather is beautiful and our beach is packed with surfers.
Every time I have to interact with marketing people, I walk away wondering if I’m autistic. Somehow they’re effective, but all I hear is argle bargle sold with a chipper tone of voice. Clearly, our customers are hearing more than I am.
The job of salesmen seems to be convincing you that you’ve made the right decision (even before you’ve made it), as a sort of psychological therapist for consumption decisions
Good salesmen leave you thinking that you outsmarted them.
Legal confidence men
Never met one of those. I did run into a salesman who made me glad I couldn’t get financing because he’d been condescending the whole interaction.
Overheard in a Micro Center, “see, the Mac will perform better than the PC, because there’s more free memory”. Customer later walked out with a Mac.
The reason there was “more free memory”: the PC’s definition of “free” was excluding cached memory, while the Mac’s definition (or at least, how the salesman defined it) was including cached memory. Truly “free” memory is wasted; you want recently and frequently used items to be cached in otherwise unused memory.
Great salesmen leave you wondering later how it all happened.
“What exactly did he say? Why did it sound like such a good idea?”
The best example that happened to me was my boss showing up at a client site. He asked me what I was working on and I said Feature A.
Boss exploded and said: “What?! That isn’t in scope. We aren’t getting paid to do that. How can you be so dumb?”
I told him that the client’s salesman had called me and explained why I should work on it. It all made sense.
Boss called the salesman to chew him out. Went from yelling to ‘hmm, ok, ok, ok, sure”
Then he hung up and told me to get cracking on Feature A because we had to finish it asap.
Every time I talk to marketting people all I hear is “I’m trying to scam you”.
I had a product marketing job for a while and I used to do our pitches about our products. I’d get up in front of the crowd (with an old-fashioned slide deck, not a powerpoint) and I’d intro myself and say,
A dude pulled up to our house last week while my husband was hosing dust off our card in the driveway. Dude, driving a Tesla model S, says “Oh, I see you have a Tesla!”
Husband humors him politely for about 15 seconds before realizing the guy has an angle, so he says “Look, I was in sales for 40 years. Cut the crap and tell me what you’ve got.”
Turns out the guy wants to sell us solar panels for the house. Husband politely told him to go work on his sales pitch/get bent. Then yesterday the guy rings out doorbell and delivers 2 fresh baguettes and a box of confectionery.
It’s getting weird.
You may want to review Hubby’s way of holding the hose while washing the car?
I take a similar approach to your husband. Time is money. Tell me what you got and if I’m not interested I’ll tell you so you can move on to the next prospect. My wife and kids think I’m being rude, but I tell them it’s rude to take up his time when he could be using his time to make a sale to someone who is interested.
What are you selling?
Obligatory.
I’ve wondered that too, but also regarding propaganda. I think my slightly spectrummy mind gives me +5 to my propaganda resistance.
I’ve spent 30+ years in sales, marketing, manufacturing and product design. There are good salespeople and bad salespeople, just like there are good engineers and bad engineers. The fact is, you need all hands to move product. Period.
When I work with young reps I remind them that not everyone is a buyer. Quit fucking pitching and find out if they even need what we have. It really isn’t that hard. But anyone who thinks sales and marketing don’t matter have zero grasp of how people actually buy things.
If you actively try to sell it to me – I don’t want it. Doesn’t matter if I need it, I just get contrarian.
That makes no sense. Of course I actively try to sell – it’s how I fucking eat!
But If you and I are discussing my products, presumably you have some interest. If we chat for awhile and you decide that they aren’t for you, so be it. I don’t get why some of you have such a difficult time with this.
I did sports retail as a teen for a number of years. There were two types where I worked. Ones who would lie to make a sell thinking that the sell was everything. The other was building trust with the customer even if it means losing the sell this time.
Boom. Exactly right.
And it has to be genuine. I would watch my co-worker sell kids the $500-700 pair of skates to a kid that was just starting out in hockey on the premise that it will make him a better player. Whereas I would take the time to explain the benefits of not getting the super closeout sale skates that will break down and won’t support their weak ankles while they are learning to skate.
Sure I lost some of those folks because I was steering them into a pricier model but there was no way I would allow a child who has never skated before to be burdened with a shitty boot and lose that desire to play. Then again, we were also a PlayItAgain Sports so we had options for used skates that I could get kids into.
I don’t like lying to folks just to be on the leaderboard of top salesmen. I got there because people asked what my schedule was and wanted to buy from me.
I worked retail in HS and college. Even as a youngster, it became very obvious to me that if you take care of people, truly work to ascertain what is the best solution for them and treat them properly THEY FUCKING SEND OTHER PEOPLE TO YOU!
I know a guy who sold Volvos for 30 years. He never had to go looking for business. Every single day was spent taking care of repeat customers and their friends/relatives.
It’s exactly the same in commercial sales. Do your job right and you will have customers for decades.
Threads dead but another point, know your product..inside and out. Nothing bugs me more than someone who knows nothing of what they are trying to sell someone.
If I come to you with questions about what’s for sale, that’s one thing. But if you send advertisements my way, or come over to me when I’m just browsing to pester me, I’m gone. If you go for the hard sell, there’s a good chance I’ll also never come back.
The one sales pitch I walk away from is the time pressure one.
Can you make the decision? I need to talk to the person that can make the decision, otherwise I’m wasting both of our times.
This Lt. Col. Cunte is still talking.
During an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Trump said, “I think in 100 years people are going to look back, and they’re going to say how did we stand back and NATO stand back which in many ways I’ve called a paper tiger. Don’t forget. I rebuilt NATO. They treated us very badly on trade. We changed a lot of that around, but they were very tough on trade.”
Vindman said, “Honestly, it was word vomit, is what we heard, what that clip showed. It’s shocking that he didn’t have the intellect, the intelligence to have the self-preservation to criticize somebody that the vast majority of the American public despises and identifies as a barbarian, as a war criminal. So, I mean, he’s always been his own worst enemy, and he continues to do so now.”
He added, “I think he’s incapable of leading, he was incapable of leading while in government, and I think he’s devolved. I guess my question is, ‘Does he have the faculties?’ As bad as he was in the first Trump administration, he seems to have spiraled down. I don’t know if that’s, you know — if age or whatever it is, that it’s getting to him now, that he’s really incapable of piecing together coherent thoughts.”
Vindman is is such an incredible piece of shit that it’s hard to overstate it.
That’s not a defense of Trump at all, just a statement of how much I despise that turd.
+100
I was just a dumb enlisted guy, so they didn’t bother teaching me all the exceptions to the “our military obeys the civilians” rule like they did to Vindman. Only a brilliant patriot like himself would know when it was OK to decide the POTUS was wrong and he should disobey orders and undermine policy.
That hero persevered. Even enduring the war crime of a Congress person not calling him Lt. Col!
Even enduring the war crime of a Congress person not calling him Lt. Col!
The mask slipped. Some Congresspeople are more equal than others.
Remember, as petty as Trump could be, all of his enemies are worse.

Draft rules for an ass-slapping competition:
-Buttocks must be exposed. Underwear must be symmetrically colored (see determining a winner below)
-One cheek must be selected for slapping at the beginning of the competition by the slapper. Once selected, it may not be changed.
-Adjustable height platforms will be used, with the heights determined by the slapper for optimum strike and/or camera angles.
-Each competitor alternates slaps
-A competitor may end the competition by yielding or by stepping off of the platform. Being knocked off the platform does not end the match.
-If noone has yielded after 20 slaps, the winner will be determined by examining the color difference between the slapped and unslapped buttcheeks.
The last rule is clearly Racist, as melanin reduces the reddening effect.

A jury on Thursday convicted the Jan. 6 defendant Dustin Thompson on all six charges he faced — including felony obstruction of Congress — rejecting his effort to blame Donald Trump’s campaign of disinformation about the election results for his conduct…
…After the verdict, U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton tore into Trump for his efforts to dupe supporters into believing the election was stolen.
“I think our democracy is in trouble because, unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president who doesn’t, in my view, really care about democracy but only about power,” Walton said.
But he reserved his harshest comments for Thompson, whom he described as “weak-minded” and part of a “gullible” throng of Trump backers who couldn’t separate his claims from reality. Walton ordered Thompson immediately detained, forgoing the typical release of defendants until their sentencing.
We obviously can’t have meandering MAGA terrorists out on the streets.
The appropriate response would be to impeach the judge and bar him from the courtroom save as a defendant.
Stop laughing.

Yeah, like a judge that allows prejudice to overcome his duty to justice.

Maybe it’s just me, or the company I’m keeping, that’s making be biased. But does this twitter craziness just seem so transparently dishonest and stupid? They are LITERALLY saying that dictators use free speech to control people, and freedom requires people to be censored by a small number of people. That is 100% the opposite of the truth. Do people who don’t normally pay attention to such things see this? Hopefully?
Are the people who don’t normally pay attention paying any attention?
That’s the real question. Because the rest of it is patently transparent.
People have been conditioned to believe that speech is hate and violence and if it isn’t curtailed to the correct people and/or narrative, then it must be dangerous. News media is arguing that without gatekeepers like they have at their companies, people will spread lies! *snicker*
I tend to tell any moron that tells me speech is violence that they never have experienced real violence. Cause if they had, this idiotic statement would be insulting to them like it is to me.
For the first time in my life, I’m actually feeling somewhat gaslit. Like, am *I* the crazy one? Am I so unredeemedly biased that I just can’t see the clear and obvious truth?
Was talking to a friend, and his opinion is that what we’re seeing (and what you describe) is the result of multiple generations of suppressing critical thought. People today literally can’t see the box they’re in, as they’ve never been in an environment nor been given the tools to see things differently.
Am I biased? Of course. But I’d like to think that I can articulate some of my thought process, and that it’s based on striving-to-be-applied-consistently principles.
I believe that the vast majority now have no idea what my previous sentence means (my lack of good writing notwithstanding).
I often feel gaslit too, but that might be a good thing. I used to be gung-ho for our forever wars, and I believed the war coverage I saw on TV. But I have changed my mind on that. Sometimes I catch myself. I know the left stuff is all BS, but I might read an article from the right, get fired up about it, and then find out later the article was exaggerated or misrepresented something. There really is no news source that doesn’t have an agenda.
You don’t get it. The dictators use their free speech to gain power to take away your free speech. Then they’ll set it up so you have an election that ends up being one man, one vote, one time. When twitter et al do it, it’s preemptive.
Yes I’m being generous.
I don’t know anymore. People are realllllly dumb.
They are LITERALLY saying that dictators use free speech to control people, and freedom requires people to be censored by a small number of people.
Okay, Goebbels.
Make 1984 fiction again!
Glibs on the water?
I like the way how that fella decided if he was gonna have to take a bath when it wasn’t yet that time of the month, his buddy was doing it with em..
