12:00 AM
they were talking about this on ABC Last Night. supposedly Turkey has not been communicating with the US about information on ISIS and has done very little to fight them and that it would have been safer to launch the operation that killed Baghdadi from a base in Turkey
 
12:21 AM
At least I'm getting compensation, but a gift card is laughable. Such a shit company. I already planned to never shop there again, but I guess I'll need to go once more for the gift card.
and apparently I need to have activated the plugs already, which I haven't done for all of them, since I had some spares.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn thats fucked up, yeah
 
@Wipqozn store only credit (ie. gift cards) are shit compensation anyway because unless you don't care about getting any of value back, you can't really boycott
 
12:51 AM
(He's not taking it well)
 
1:33 AM
Never heard of this guy before today, but I officially hate him
Just everything about this is terrible
 
@Wipqozn holy crap, this reads like satire, but it's not 😐
also, at age 18, isn't it a patient/doctor confidentiality breach to disclose this information to her father? 🤔
 
You'd certainly think so
It's possible the doctor is lying. The daughter is just asking the doc to say that so her father won't harass her.
I'd like to hope that's what's happening anyways.
 
3:22 AM
@Elise don't think so if they are there together
timed to the T.I thing
 
@Memor-X I have my doubts, but 🤷🏼‍♀️
 
hearing this it sounds to me he's there with her
which is just as if not more creepy, more so when he says it's "my results"
 
@Memor-X "technical"
 
4:24 AM
BUT!
> "[But] I think we should allow the president to know who the accuser is. And I think the whistleblower statute is being terribly abused here," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, told reporters earlier this week.
no because guess who will go on a twitter rant and publicly expose their name
 
 
3 hours later…
6:59 AM
@Memor-X impeachment inquiry in the house is equivalent to a grand jury, there is no right to face the accuser yet
right to face the accuser is during the senate trial which is a long ways away
lindsey graham can also go in the sea regardless
 
 
4 hours later…
11:26 AM
@Wipqozn The thought process goes "I am richer and more successful than almost everyone else, therefore I must be better than almost everyone else, therefore I should probably be in charge."
 
 
2 hours later…
 
2 hours later…
2:33 PM
@GodEmperorDune what the hell
 
 
3 hours later…
5:25 PM
This earlier one might in fact be totally above board. But due to the fact that Trump thinks the July call was "perfect" and shows "no quid pro quo", I'd still be curious to see it
So, bring it on, man
 
Stop being shit Quebec cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…
Woman as denied citizenship to Quebec because a single chapter in her thesis was in English, which means she hasn't proved she can speak french
Note: She's originally from France
She has French Citizenship
She's lived in Quebec since 2012
She was a degree from a French university
> "I have a diploma from a francophone university, the first in Canada. I'm a French citizen, too, and I did all of my studies in French," Dubois told Radio-Canada.
> Immigration Ministry said she 'couldn't demonstrate' knowledge of French
I'm not sure which province I dislike more. Alberta or Québec.
 
what the hell
> Japan’s Nippon TV aired a story about companies that require female employees to wear contact lenses instead of glasses.
 
"They make cool cartoons! Great country! No problems!"
 
@Wipqozn most of these people only know Japan from Anime / Manga, which is same as judging America from TV shows
 
Same with when they all lose their collective shit when their manga chapter isn't released one week because of "Golden WEek". Okay, fuck off, manga artists are literaly worked to the fucking bone.
@Elise Pretty much
Working conditions in the anime & manga industry are complete trash, but the anime community doesn't care.
 
5:37 PM
@Wipqozn wait what? Citizenship to Canada doesn't require you to be bilingual
I know Quebec is super french, but the citizenship is for Canada, not Quebec 🤔
 
@Elise It's a special quebec program
 
you do, however, need to know English at a sufficient level though
 
So I did get something wrong, sorry
Quebec selection certificate is what she was denied
> In a letter sent to Dubois earlier this year, the Immigration Ministry said the 31-year-old French native had not demonstrated she had the level of French required to receive a Quebec selection certificate, the first step toward permanent residency, under the province's experience program (PEQ).
 
@Wipqozn ah, that makes more sense
 
@Wipqozn Totally xenophobic, too!
I've got a buddy who married a girl there.
Gaijin watching is totally a pastime.
 
5:57 PM
Totally normal and appropriate
> President Donald Trump said Friday he's considering accepting Vladimir Putin’s invitation to attend Russia’s May Day parade, a military event held in Moscow commemorating the capitulation of Nazi Germany.
> “President Putin invited me,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn. “It’s a very big deal, celebrating the end of the war, etc., etc. A very big deal. I appreciate the invitation.”

@GodEmperorDune I love this, its a strange sort of rebellion.
 
Remember when Gym Jordan was further accused of withholding abuse claims checks notes a few hours ago?
 
> but claim that impeachment should still be rejected because the scheme didn’t work, anyway
pretty sure that's not how crimes work
otherwise we wouldn't have a whole class of "attempted <crime>" crimes.
 
7:41 PM
@Yuuki What's more, this seems to be a defense of keeping an incompetent president in office? which is... like half the problem to begin with?? (the other half being corruption...)
Ha
 
8:21 PM
@BradC Isn't he also too incompetent to be President, then?
 
@Frank nah
@Unionhawk I, for one, am shocked.
 
user15026
@Frank I suspect their argument will be that that doesn't matter, because he IS President therefore he is competent enough, or something
 
@Ash Circular reasoning. Sorta par for the course, I guess.
 
8:46 PM
You might think this sounds like securities fraud maybe but you'd be forgetting that crimes are legal now because nothing matters
 
@Frank Bingo
 
@TimStone isn't that part of why they hand out multiple life sentences?
 
@TimStone Can't see through the paywall; it's someone with a life sentence, right? Not a death row inmate claiming his sentence of death has been carried out?
 
9:20 PM
Japan has banned women from wearing glasses in the workplace.
wtf
 
@BradC Correct
 
@TimStone Not that either has a chance of succeeding in court. But amusing, anyway
 
To add another layer of complexity to the situation he argues that he was resuscitated against his will
But yeah they did not find the argument persuasive lol
 
If you're still alive, you can't have died. Claiming that you have is just conflating incompatible definitions
 
That was essentially their ruling, yeah
 
9:44 PM
Twitter has hinted that there's some MAGA rap challenge happening and holy hell not today satan, not today
lmfao he invested in a wave pool startup why in the hell
 
wait what exactly does wework do?
 
Apparently invests in random shit
But they ostensibly made getting office space easier
 
10:03 PM
They buy/lease space, configure it, and rent it out as office space to startups or anyone
Its not rocket science, but they played up the "tech startup" angle, trying to get bigger and bigger investors and stuff
The bubble finally popped, they fired their CEO
 
They also have a super weird money-shovelling corporate structure
 
They're still worth something as a real-estate business, but they were pretending to be something they weren't. Yeah, most of the actual numbers just didn't add up
 
@BradC So they're a real estate business pretending to be a tech startup?
 
@Yuuki essentially, yes
Decent summary here: Vox: The WeWork mess, explained
Tied up with it is a bunch of weird self-dealing by the CEO. Like he personally trademarked the name of the company, then charged the business $6m to use it
And the company itself didn't own buildings, but the CEO personally bought some, then leased them to WeWork for lots and lots of money
to him, personally
The bursting of the bubble was the numbers that actually came out when the company filed their paperwork for their IPO
People were like, whaaaat??
$1.7 BILLION golden parachute for running the company into the ground
plus they're continuing to pay him like $30m a year for the next 3 years to "consult"
which... like "dude, we don't need anything else from you. Thanks"
 
10:16 PM
A $200M consulting fee for bankrupting your own company? Man where do I sign up
I can bankrupt companies so much better than he does
 
@PrivatePansy but can you do it with the same charisma??
 
Guess we'll just have to post all news as YouTube videos now since they still onebox
 
11:03 PM
I am hearing reports that some Bloomberg consultants drew up some completely wild map that had Bloomberg winning 201-71-11 in a 3 way Bloomberg Sanders Trump race, including a Bloomberg/Trump tie in Texas and several other hilarious results?
 
11:57 PM
@Unionhawk i saw that map, pretty sure its fake because that's not how the electoral college works
in other news, is bloomberg hiring?
