I made an RMA request for a Logitech universal remote within 10 min of opening the package. I got to the part of mandatory Logitech account/app download and noped it right back to the vendor.

Narcissists are frightened, fragile people. Rejection, humiliation, and even the tiniest of defeats can shake them to their core.

Loath to acknowledge such universal truths, narcissists rarely admit, let alone embrace, that to be human sometimes means having doubts, feeling lonely, making mistakes, and living with despair. To narcissists, such experiences are seen as weak, which they cannot allow.

As a result, narcissists live constantly on guard, viewing everyone as potential competitors. Narcissists’ strategies may differ—they may become blowhards, exhibitionists, charmers, or martyrs—but the goals are the same: to prevail every single time while always avoiding loss of face.

Ensconced in spinning a version of reality most favorable to them, narcissists tend to lie and misrepresent so readily that they become convinced that whatever they utter in the moment is true and right. To many around them, such conviction can be persuasive unless you spot the underlying man-behind-the-curtain dynamic.

It will probably go the course of Digg eventually, still around but nobody really cares.

Still needs to be investigated over admissions of criminal activity made during the Milken Institute interview of 2013.

an interview conducted by the Milken Institute in May 2013 featuring Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk. The two men were describing their journey from where they grew up in South Africa to Canada and eventually to the United States.

The video shows Kimbal talking about Zip2, the company Elon founded in 1995, and the challenge of raising money in the 1990s. The two men were amazed that anyone would invest $3 million in their company.

“In fact, when they did fund us, they realized that we were illegal immigrants,” Kimball says in the video.

“Well, I mean…” Elon says.

“Yes, we were,” Kimbal replies.

“I’d say it was a gray area,” Elon insists as the crowd laughs.

“We were illegal immigrants…” Kimbal says, continuing his story about how they were sleeping in an office when raising money from venture capitalists.

Totally has nothing to do with NK supplied ammunition exploding before it leaves the tube.

Once the Russians started using the ammunition sent by North Korea, they encountered unforeseen problems. The North Korean-made ammunition was of a poor standard and, as military experts projected, resulted in a significant rise in incidents of tanks and howitzers being destroyed or damaged due to premature shell explosions. Photos of the damaged vehicles began circulating on social media platforms.

It has never been about fairness or even what is legal in TN courts. I was at a court hearing in TN with a friend who was there as a witness in a civil suit. Most of the cases I saw were tenant - landlord disputes with a lot of defendants not showing up. For each one of these the judge had the bailiff call twice and render a default judgment in the plaintiffs favor. No problem on the surface, show up to defend yourself or face a default judgement.

Then a case came up where the defendant stepped up but the plaintiff wasn’t there. The judge had the bailiff call at least five time, check the hallway and told the defendant to wait in the court room and see if the plaintiff showed up while the judge called other cases.

Anymore when the trump-ards I have to tolerate to get paid invoke jesus, I ask if they are talking about OG jesus or the trump-approved version?

The Bible

The US Constitution

The Bill Of Rights

What are three things conservatives love to invoke but have never read, Alex?

The trump ards’ already tried to prevent this nationally in 2017. The Anti-Israel Boycott Act As of 2020, 32 state legislatures have already passed bills similar to IABA.

Let’s just start with deporting two illegal immigrants from South Africa and see how that feels first.

Just following in a tradition for Iranian Frigates of the name…… Pepperidge Farm remembers being a young Firecontrolman 2nd Class involved in a little dust up with Iran that sank its namesake in April 1988.

Sahand fired missiles at the A-6Es, which replied with two Harpoon missiles and four laser-guided Skipper missiles. Joseph Strauss fired a Harpoon missile. Most or all of the shots scored hits, causing heavy damage and fires. Fires blazing on Sahand’s decks eventually reached its munitions magazines, causing an explosion that sank it.

If they can pin de-frauding investors on it there will finally be some actual and meaningful consequences.

Kim Stanly Robinson called it in 92.

I guess this was all said in Newspeak then:

Now they’ll say all these stories are terrible. Well, these stories have, you know, you heard my story in the boat with the shark, right? I got killed on that. They thought I was rambling. I’m not rambling. We can’t get the boat to float. The battery is so heavy. So then I start talking about asking questions. You know, I have an, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for many years, long, I think the longest tenure ever. Very smart, had three different degrees and you know, so I have an aptitude for things. You know, there is such a thing as an aptitude. I said, well, what would happen if this boat is so heavy and started to sink and you’re on the top of the boat. Do you get electrocuted or not? In other words, the boat is going down and you’re on the top, will the electric currents flow through the water and wipe you out? And let’s say there’s a shark about 10 yards over there. Would I have to immediately abandon or could I ride the electric down and he said, sir, nobody’s ever asked us that question. But sir, I don’t know. I said, well, I want to know because I guarantee you one thing, I don’t care what happens. I’m staying with the electric, I’m not getting over with it. So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, he told this crazy story with electric. It’s actually not crazy. It’s sort of a smart story, right? Sort of like, you know, it’s like the snake, it’s a smart when you, you figure what you’re leaving in, right? You’re bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right? The snake and the snake. I tell that and they do the same thing.

Probably got called back to Lubyanka for assignment updates.

Awwwww, didum’s grooming of a little sociopath backfire? Maybe they can ask the judge who saw him as a son to help out.

I’d love to see teachers hanging the sermon on the mount right next to them. Well, more like I’d love to see the trumpta#$ reaction to such woke liberal talking points displayed along side them.

Immoral to harm worshipers of the church of the orange r3t4r0?.. hard nope.

Translation: I was too stupid to realize that the other guy might actually call my bluff and too much of a sociopathic narcissist to realize I’m Dunning-Kruger level incompetent and am going to declare that I am victorious regardless of my state of dementia. Also I’m going to increase the chocolate ration from 25 grams to 20 grams per week.
