They can just play clips of him admitting out loud he will be a vengeful autocrat.

Regardless of anything else, I give Biden credit for fighting like hell for this.

lol. What fucking jokes those people are.

I assume anything coming out of a Musk company is a lie unless I see it with my own eyes. And then I see an optometrist.

I thought he swore up and down he didn't use one... didn't need one.

"I think it's the next three people that leave that they're going to be worried about."

This is awfully thin. Like I take this as deflection through speculation. I don't think he knows three people planning to leave, he's just saying anyone else doing the same would feel greater pressure and anger from the caucus, while not denying he has felt the same.

And what's more, I suspect the author and editor are keenly aware of this and this is shameless bait just to fill the news cycle. I'd be thrilled to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Trump is great for readership. It's guaranteed he'll do something controversial and horrific pretty much every single day, pulling in all kinds of readers who stay engaged with doom scrolling and trolling comments. Even the ones who hate Trump still kinda want him around like poking at a bruise or picking a scab.

Michigan isn't red. And don't fucking kill yourself. I'm an old cis white dude, and if I can help fight for your rights, the least you can do is stick around to enjoy them, right?

I'm terrible at pep talks but just don't fucking kill yourself. There is beauty in the world you have yet to experience, and you make the world a more wondrous and beautiful place just by existing.

Reduce exclamation marks!? Great Scott!!!!! Is there a shortage of punctuation in the future!?

That's such a classic answer because the bible doesn't say shit other than what we decide it says. Our interpretation of it follows cultural norms, not the other way around. One thing it damn sure doesn't say is abortion is wrong or that life begins at conception - it explicitly says the opposite and that hasn't somehow changed anyone's opinions.

I thought advocating the violent overthrow of the government was illegal? I have questions. It floors me when one side refuses to use the existing mechanisms to combat the illegality of the other as if it would be ill-mannered of them to quash murderous rhetoric.

They say it takes two sides to fight, and that's true. You have to cooperate with someone looking for a fight. But you also have to cooperate with someone trying to walk all over you. Fascism must be killed in the crib. We've seen what happens when you don't.

There is a war happening right now over the soul and future of America and one side has no idea it's even fighting. I love this country too much to see it fall to the wrong side of history. But things are looking bleak.

This doesn't feel like a disaster to me at all. This is an opportunity to grow and learn new things and new ways of doing things. It looks like your environment is very supportive and understanding that it will take some time and effort to get up to speed and are offering mentoring. And businesses often have valid technical or non-technical reasons for using a particular software stack - for example C# developers are likely easier to find than C++ developers which makes hiring easier in the future.

My suggestion is to take some deep breaths reset your perspective. Yes, sometimes it's not fun to push outside of your comfort zone, and it sounds like that is creating a lot of anxiety for you, but you'll do fine. This is very similar to how I got started professionally programming 25 years ago.
