Not techie, very geeky and nerdy. Living the single life, but not sure how to feel about it.

Normies discover social engineering? Or, suddenly regular people understand how serial killers go anywhere.
This idea applies to other things. If you wear a big sun hat, a polo shirt, and a pair of baggy cargo shorts to the zoo, you can tell people wholly fabricated, rather incorrect information about the animals and they will believe you.
A friend of mine says that a reasonably clean-cut guy in a blue blazer and tie can go almost anywhere without being challenged.

Look. If Elon says it is good, AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS. No matter what the "it" is, "Just Say No." He is not safe. Nothing he touches is good for you.

Trump’s promised $5,000 checks would come with a massive price tag. With roughly 240–245 million eligible adults, the cost would land around $1.2 trillion, with some estimates putting it as high as $1.35 trillion.

Why is this stuff always during a weekday/workday AND during "work hours" for most of the entire work force? Oh. Right. OFFER A CHANCE TO BE INVOLVED, MAKE IT STUPID HARD OR LOSS OF INCOME TO ACTUALLY BE INVOLVED. cool. cool cool COOOL.
Renters: assemble
Renters haven’t always had a voice or friendly ear in City Hall. That’s changed, and next Tuesday, September 15, the Housing and Permitting Committee is opening up the floor to hear directly from Portland renters at the Renter’s Feedback Forum.

So rather than put Texas ABC affiliates in the middle of it, Kimmel says the full interview will be posted to YouTube instead. This is where we are now. A candidate interview gets moved off broadcast television because local stations are worried about what the federal government might do next.

the game literally calls the “coming horde.” This is not some random MAGA website or parody. It is official White House messaging on a .gov website, turning immigration enforcement and the detention of human beings into a game. We have officially entered the dystopian arcade portion of the timeline.

2️⃣ States set election rules—not POTUS.
3️⃣ The chaos is a strategy to spread doubt and fear.

So weird. Known someone for a long time. Have occasionally reconnected over the years, lost touch, reconnected. I've always know how to get ahold of them but every time I reach out it's a weird "fight" to get them to respond but when they do they are pretty happy about it. For a short time.
