That didn’t work. I got

computer: Command not found

The real problem if that’s the scenario is that his social security check is less than $400/month.

Have you ever tried faking your parents signature to get out of school? I have

Yeah. I’ve been able to do it since I was 10. It’s really easy. I can also fake my husband’s and siblings’. It’s also a pain in the ass to change your signature. So if someone learns to copy it (like say based on the signature that was literally required to be on the card), it’s much hard to change it compared to a pin (which should definitely not be written on the card).

I struggle to think of what that extremely secure infrastructure would look like. Are you imagining signing on an electric terminal and having a computer compare signatures at the time of sale? That seems like the most secure and still wildly insecure compared to a pin.

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

They don’t have a computer, another computer with a different OS, or bitwarden.

Do you think signatures were at all secure? If they cared about security they’d do chip+pin like most civilized countries.

You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?

You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

I’m doing that anyway. I have a fixed work schedule and can’t be like “Eh, I have enough money, I’m just going to work 35 hours this week.” It would be amazing if I could, but I don’t know many people who have that option. So since I pretty much get the choice of working 40 hours a week or not working, I’d like to maximize my other time.

It’s about 40° C

Yeah but there are 0 third party/independents who didn’t get elected as a Democrat/Republican.

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

How many progressives do we have in the house? How many green party members (or any independent/third party member who wasn’t initially elected as a Democrat/Republican)?

If you’re a third party in the general, the deck is stacked against you even stronger than a progressive in the primary.

You could steal the green party but it’s not going to get you anything. You’d have to do the exact same thing of building up the party from local, to state, to federal offices. And you don’t get to drag along the people who are lifelong Democrats. You’d have to build up the green party and then take on both the Democrats and Republicans.

I think if she anchored it different, I might think like you. But “I don’t have a million; not half a million either” doesn’t imply to me it’s close. Maybe like 100k. But saying that she said she’s worth so much and quoting her saying “I’m not even worth X” as the proof is nonsense. Especially in response to someone with quotes from the article stating that it’s like $125k.

You have to fund your own retirement. The social safety net is constantly threatening to be removed and it doesn’t cover much to start with. And homes are stupid expensive. Especially in the places where AOC has to have places to live.

I think my point is more along the lines of “I don’t even have half a million dollars” doesn’t imply to me that they have half a million dollars.

How does “I’m not even worth half a million” mean “I have hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank” to people. I don’t get it.

If you have a retirement account and a home, you’re probably worth more than that anyway.

No? They tried to recruit from places that they wouldn’t traditionally in order to get a more diverse hiring pool. So instead of just hiring the managers buddy, you set up a booth at the traditionally black college’s career fair.
