Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why would I spend a ton of money to go out in public and play golf, when I can stay at home keeping that Teams icon green while playing videogames and watching mid-week Europa League fixtures?
Source: currently home sick, but feeling good enough to clock a few hours of required training and data backups.
It is the absolute truth when I say to you that the green Teams icon is one of the highlights of switching my work machine to Linux.
Once we got the clear from IT to dual boot (just had to match the hostnames to our Dell Service Tags so they could still identify the developer PCs on the network), Teams became a webpage in Firefox just like the rest of the Microsoft applications. So even when we are all in the office, it is totally normal for somebody to show as being idle for the last 10 minutes or the last hour.
There's one guy in another country (team is split between two continents) that has clearly set it up so that he's green 24/7, but everybody else is mostly "idle" because we aren't doing things in the Teams browser tab. It's nice to just not worry about it, especially on days I work from home.
Gosh that sounds lovely, especially the Linux part. Actually, mostly the Linux part.
It really is lovely for mostly that reason!
If only business leaders around the world also knew how I could apply major updates to my system without being locked out of it for 45 minutes, and how that translates into money. Oh and it’s free.
You just reminded me that I have to do my annual sexual harassment training. God damn it 😩
Trump and co haven't ordered sexual harassment training to stop? I'm genuinely surprised.
No, it is training you how to sexually harass.
Maybe I get lucky and it'll be stopped before the deadline? I'll just wait to the last minute to do it, not that I was totally planning on doing that anyway. 👀
