    Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

    In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses

    Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don’t blame them.

      That’d be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.

        I’m sure they’d be treated extremely well. Usually there’s some good incentives to encourage defectors

        I believe some countries don’t have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don’t know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.

          I don’t know either, but a friend of mine is in nuclear research and said that China is investing a lot into nuclear power.

      It’s scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.

      I’ve been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I’ll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

    Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

      You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.

      Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.

        At this point, isn’t it similar to asking whether it’s a parody? When reality is more twisted, how do you even write parody or Russian plot that is believable?

        Is this the real point? Drive those Russian plotters out of a job by being worse than they can imagine? More extreme than would be believable from them?

      you underestimate the power of the hatred that’s been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.

      they simply won’t give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as ‘they’ get it too.

        Thank you for pointing out that there is the right and then there is the far-right too. Things aren’t as binary as many netizens seem to think. Shades. Of. Grey.

      This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)

      I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?
