  • Kash Patel Is Polygraphing FBI Staff to Find Out if They’re Being Mean About Him

    Jump

  • FBI has much stricter rules of engagement...

    The CIA operates abroad and historically can do whatever they want including but not limited to full on government coups.

    But yeah, since 9/11 we've got like 3x the security agencies. People can go anywhere now

  • Isn't that just the police?

    FBI almost always have a criminology or psychology degree and know way before applying to the FBI that the test doesn't work.

    But the type of person to join the FBI would 100% Google it first and read studies. At least wikipedia.

    Jocks go CIA, nerds go FBI.

    It's not as true as it used to be, especially with so many new agencies over the last 20 years, but it's generally true.

  • I mean. They're FBI agents....

    They all have already had to take at least one to get in, even though they all would have looked into them first and know they don't work. That's still not as bad as the guy having to administer the tests who definitely knows it's bullshit.

    It's my favorite example of what happens when we let politicians set rules to govern bureaucrats.

    The only reason it's still given is no one high enough in the FBI to be listened to has managed to explain to a president why it's stupid.

    A lot of our government is shit because high ranking bureaucrats are shitty are explaining things to idiots

  • Polygraph measures nervousness, not lies.

    So innocent people fail them. And guilty people pass them.

    All this does is make remaing people hate him

  • Ex-Superman Dean Cain Says James Gunn Made a ‘Mistake’ Calling Superman an ‘Immigrant’ and ‘It’s Going to Hurt’ the Box Office: ‘How Woke Is Hollywood Going to Make This Character?’

    He drank the maga Kool aid a long time ago

  • Tesla Robotaxi Drops Off Passengers in Middle of Intersection… Handpicked Riders Say the “Performance Was Great”

    Jump

  • Nothing instills investors with confidence more than a nervous employee with a death grip on the door handle button.

    Jump

  • Not so. The Tesla safety operators appear to always have their thumb on the “Open Door” button of their door, which is sort of weird to see. It’s like every safety operator is getting ready to say the Irish goodbye to their passengers at any given moment.

    Turns out, Full Self Driving disengages if you open the door. So that is probably being used as a janky, factory-standard kill switch for the autonomous driving system that causes the vehicle to come to controlled stop.

    There is absolutely nothing stopping the human employee from sitting behind the wheel except optics...

    Like, if there's three passengers, does the employee keep shotgun?

    Does a passenger get the driver's seat? Or do they all have to sit in the backseat so people can see it's driving itself?

    Is the plan for highspeed situations really just opening a fucking door at speed?

    The level of stupidity is, as always, fascinating...

  • Max, formerly HBO Max, to become HBO Max again somehow

    Jump

  • Companies that reach a certain critical mass really truly become incompetent

    It's by design.

    The guy who creates a game studio to make his own game understands everything about making it.

    The AAA studio that buys them out kinda understands games but care more about profit than any individual IP, so the game suffers.

    The giant corporation that buys the AAA studio doesn't give a fuck about games in general because it's a small slice of a giant pie. They use the CEO position there as a training spot for executives that don't understand anything about games.

    It applies to any industry, but no one can out bid the giant corporations and they have to keep buying stuff up to maintain profit increases.

    Eventually they'll cannabilze everything till there's 2-3 options then eventually just one.

    Jump

  • Are they gonna bring back all the quality content they removed to replace it with reality TV?

    Because that's what's dropping subscribers, no one cares about the name.

  • Alexis Ohanian says robotics will soon level the parental playing field between men and women

  • "For women, for mothers, they spent such a disproportionate amount of their time doing laundry by hand, that when this machine showed up in people's lives, it was a major, major revolution in terms of women's lib and freedom and time," Ohanian said.

    1. I'd be very surprised either does any housework

    2. He 100% needs at least one advanced android to do anything at the level Serene Williams can do.

    3. A lot of couples split household chores without a robot.

  • Kanye West Shares He Had a Sexual Relationship With His Male Cousin Until He Was 14

  • The event itself is trivial, shit like that happens all the time, especially at that age.

    He started at 6 and quite at 14...

    What kind of childhood did you have where that's "normal"?

    Or did you just not know what you were talking about about before typing that?

    Joe Rogan Slammed For Claiming Resurrection of Disability Slur Is 'One of the Greatest Cultural Victories'

    Jump

  • The only way I'd be ok with Rogan using that term is if he publicly discloses the results of an IQ test and he got sub 70...

    And even then, it would only be ok if he was self identifying as that label, not calling anyone he can't understand that.

  • Trump Orders Four Mile Military Parade for His 79th Birthday

    Jump

  • Other unnamed officials told the paper that a big military parade will require a huge amount of coordination between the six branches of the armed forces, along with several federal agencies and regional officials.

    If it happens it'll be a shit show...

    To quote Henry Zebrowski:

  • Commerce secretary: No one but ‘fraudsters’ would complain about missed Social Security check

  • “Anybody who’s been in the payment system and the processes, who knows the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing,” he said. “Because my mother-in-law’s not calling, come on, your mother, 80-year-olds, 90-year-olds, they trust the government.”

    Even trump voters don't trust the government, and everyone else sure as fuck doesn't trust the trump government...

  • With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding.

    Jump

  • It's not struggling to find a direction, it's going in the opposite direction of Biden...

    Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can't do anything till it's time to campaign for the next election.

    You can't spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn't matter then do a 180 for an election.
