My company is freaking out over the trade war stuff. They're basically trying to turtle up and slash hours based on the instability of the current government.

They keep preparing fairly large price hikes on tons of items just to shelf them 2 days later.

With unemployment about to explode and government fueled instability increasing food prices I'm legit worried we're gonna see serious strife.

I've been a US Government employee for almost 25 years. We had our "Return to Office" meeting today. They have even gotten rid of episodic/situational telework. I have two kids in braces and one of them is in counseling twice a month. I was hoping they would still let us work partial days off but they aren't. I'm going to have to take a full day off every time one of them has an appointment. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I'm also in the process of getting divorced and I can't even get their dad to do the dishes so he's not going to help just to punish me.

The comments:

By looking at your post history and I quote " I have always been a fiscal conservative" so you can see how you created this problem no? What do you expect us to do about it ?

I didn't vote for Trump if that is what you're asserting. I have never voted for a Republican actually. I support policies that make sense. Not talking out of both sides of your head. One side says "save money" and the other side says "and we will rent more office space or pay for people to relocate if we have to just to make people come in".

Trump is the cumination of years of work done by Republicans to undermine our democracy, from gerrymandering districts to the push for anti abortion rights that started over 40 yrs ago just because you didn't vote for one Republican doesn't mean you didn't help put him in the white house. And now you come to us whining about your problems. I for one do not feel a bit sorry for you. You have been anti government for most of your life while sucking at the government tit for the last 25 yrs. About time you found out what side your bread was buttered on.

Ooooo looks like the leopards are eating well here

These reddittors are so annoying, I almost feel bad for the OP.

Why aren't there more women @$$@$!n$

Silver Lining folks. Just to clarify, I am a veteran, was a GS-8 for 3 years. I know work for the State. There will be a revolution. There will be a mounted push back. Hang in there. Find good leadership in the shadows and STAY TOGETHER!

I'm so sorry. The Nazis are literally in charge now.

The purpose of this is to get federal employees to quit just know that. They're trying to make this a very difficult situation

(In particular, to get women to quit)

This is it right here. Once again women will be forced to decide between economic leverage and their children.

Christo-fascism requires strict gender roles/hierarchy. We'll see a lot more of this kind of sh%t over the next four years.

Preach. It's too often women who have to sacrifice their careers for their families.

yep, my male coworkers would rush off to happy hour to brownnose the bosses while my female coworkers rushed home to get their kids from daycare. guess who gets considered for the promotions?

Basically this all starts, when this lovely wholesome video about totally underrated Biologist channel Team Candiru, about parasitic wasps laying eggs within the living bodies of caterpillar is shown. VERY WHOLESOME FAMILY FRIENDLY

as you can imagine with such grisly morbid subjectmatter, the comments section is filled with jokes to cope about the horror of mother nature. Some inane jokes and comments are as follows.

jokes, people relating experiences, some praising the author of the video

You know, everybody having a good time, at the expense of the poor caterpillar which is the subject of our horror entertainment of the video.

AND THEN, our incredibly toughguy scottish cucks arrive when another inane innocuous comment is made

You guys get it, he's taking the piss about the fact that when British accented men with clear and handsome radio-voices are often commissioned to narrate Nature Documentaries, often many of then involving, unfortunate, gruesome and brutal natural events like Lions devouring recently born boks or whatever.

Unfortunately for the commenter, and all other non-Bongland native english-language speakers, whom are not well-versed in the various subdialects of the British Isles, the Narrator of the current video is not a blue blooded evil colonizer Englishman

and this causes seething RAGE and ANGER for the Scotbongs in the comment section, because modern Scots want us to believe that they are still badass manly hairy-chested men, instead of the turbo p#ssies and weak meek wimps, whom are even bigger nanny state cucks than their Britbong southern neighbours,

and that they are VERY BADASS and will totally beat up outsiders who dares to confuse them for their evil colonizer overlords!

ACTUALLY HE'S SCOTTISH, A MUCH LESS SHIT BONG

"Don't ever call him English again"

"1. It's a Scottish narrator, don't ever call an Scotsman English he'll break your nose

2. I think it's hilarious that you think there is a commentator sitting in the forest actively narrating this like it's a football match"

Now the problem is that Youtube comment threads are r-slurred and nonsensical and often doesn't display the order in which comments are made, and often only ever when comments are directed at others, this means that often are difficult to follow past the 1st 50 or so.

But even so, usually u can get the gist of arguments which popped up down a thread.

basically in this one clip, for example we had 3 different slapfights ongoing at the same time!

The "52% of Scots voted to remain with the English though, so number 1 isn't exactly true lol" is one train of fight about how not all Scots hate england and the Independence movement and Nationalism is a joke

The "we were Lied to regarding our nations value, debt and prosperity. Had Theresa May not been a lying cow Scotland would be independent" is random sneed about Mommy May raping wingcucks further down the thread

and the "He doesn't... it's pretty hilarious that you think he does because he made a joke" comment is calling the other scots pathetic for blowing this internet tantrum way out of proportion as the original comment was obviously an oblivious yank having made an innocuous comment!

This video was posted 4 years ago, yet the comments would continue this great debate for over a whole year lmoa.

Anyways it doesn't get anymore interesting, just constant sperging about scotland. IS. NOT. ENGLISHHHHH

!britbongs also, @Aevann does this count as a non-reddit source of drama?

A post is made on Stormfront about Putin claiming that "many Jews" are considering attacking the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Did Putin actually say this? I don't know, and I don't care; I'm just here for the rightoid infighting.

Definitely not a glowie by the name of "End the fed" asks why Ukraine would elect a Jew after the Jews did so much to Ukraine, and mentions what starts the debate, that he thought Putin was controlled by the Jews

Another "person" chimes in, saying that Putin's stated goal of denazifying Ukraine was actually a psyop created by the Jewish media to get white supremacists to not support Putin

Someone else says Putin is a hypocrite as Jews make up most of the Russian oligarchy and there are actually more Jews in charge in Russia than Ukraine

This guy bemoans how whenever he tries to defend Putin on Stormfront he is always attacked which leads to someone replying that he is wrong and a war-monger

Someone else confirms Putin is controlled by the Jew but that Russians as a whole are wary of Jews

Hey, maybe the Ukrainians didn't actually elect Zelensky and the Jews rigged the election like they did for Biden (but for some reason didn't rig it for Kamala in 2024)

This political expert comes in mad that people think Putin is controlled by Jews. He says that in fact the neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine are Marxist and not actually Nazis and that Putin is the true Nazi (in a good way)

Another guy doesn't buy it and thinks this is just a ploy to make people think Putin isn't controlled by the Jews when he is in fact is

Someone spams pictures of Putin with Jews to prove he is part of the ZOG

A new person comes in and says maybe Putin is just doing some 4D chess by being with all these Jews

Someone else has had it with the Putin slander and thinks the Jews are inside of the thread. Clearly Putin is mega-based. Why? He built churches.

There's personal drama going on here, too, as this guy has had it with this other member longposting at him:

This same guy is also the #1 Putin defender in the thread and says Putin prevented the release of COVID 2.0 by invading Ukraine

This shit goes on for like six more pages after this, but I'm tired of screenshotting and reading this stuff, so I'll just end with this:

There is a YouTube channel I watch that goes through hours of body cam footage and edits it down to something that fits within my ~15 min attention span. I know most dramacels have even shorter attention spans so I edited it down further into a 3 minute video

Here is the full video I stole the clips from:

Some amusing comments: (can't link comments on YouTube, I tried)

Some news about the trial:

https://www.redlakenationnews.com/story/2021/01/07/news/2-charged-with-duluth-attempted-murder-tied-to-bemidji-area-homicide/94937.html

Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank, 19, of Duluth, and Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 39, of Savage, are accused of ambushing and shooting Cameron Maurice Jones at least eight times in an apartment near Lake Avenue and West Fourth Street.

https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/new-trial-ordered-in-duluth-attempted-murder-case

The Minnesota Court of Appeals this week reversed the case of Seneca Warrior Steeprock, 43, who has been serving a statutory maximum 20-year sentence following his conviction by a Duluth jury in February 2023.

The attempt on Jones' life was believed to be connected to another Bemidji-area homicide, committed by Cutbank's brother in November 2020. The victim in that case was Charles "Chucky" Kingbird.

But according to court documents, Jones and Montana Cutbank had a "contentious history," and Jones' family believed he, not Kingbird, was the intended victim of that shooting.

I found another unrwlated homicide case involving Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank:

Funny interview with her codefendant

Background:

In August 2019, a year prior to the shooting in the video, Alexia Ga Gi Gay Mary Cutbank and her friend Mia Faye Sumner killed a man named "Fatback" on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Mia Sumner then stole Fatback's car, drove to Duluth, and was suspiciously lurking around the scene of a third, unrelated drive by shooting.

United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank (1), Mia Faye Sumner (2), Defendants.

Duluth Police Sergeant Joseph DeJesus testified that on August 20, 2019, at approximately 2:30 am, he and other police officers were investigating a drive-by shooting at the intersection of 24th Avenue West and West 3rd Street in Duluth, Minnesota. While clearing the scene, he noticed Sumner at a nearby bus shelter.

Sergeant DeJesus asked Sumner if she was high, and asked her which drug she had used. He then stated, "[o]k. Hey, relax. It's not illegal to be under the influence of meth. You know that, right? It's illegal to possess it, not to be under the influence of it."

Sergeant DeJesus: So where are you going to go in Duluth, right now?

Defendant Sumner: Home.

Sergeant DeJesus: But home [is] in Red Lake?

Defendant Sumner: Yeah.

Sergeant DeJesus: So how did you get down here to Duluth?

Defendant Sumner: I stole a car.

Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the car at? Whose car did you steal?

Defendant Sumner: It was my car.

Sergeant DeJesus: You stole your car?

Defendant Sumner: Yeah.

Sergeant DeJesus: But how do you steal your own car?

Defendant Sumner: It wasn't mine. . . it was cause I killed him.

Sergeant DeJesus: It was what?

Defendant Sumner: I killed Fatback.

Sergeant DeJesus: You killed Fatback?

Defendant Sumner: Yeah.**

Sergeant DeJesus: And you stole his car?

Defendant Sumner: Yeah.

Sergeant DeJesus: Who's Fatback?

Defendant Sumner: I don't know

Sergeant DeJesus: How did you kill Fatback?

Defendant Sumner: With a gun.

Sergeant DeJesus: Where's the gun?

Defendant Sumner: I don't know, in Red Lake somewhere.

Sergeant DeJesus testified that he did not believe Sumner when she stated that she had stolen a car, or when she said she killed Fatback. During the pat down, he can be heard in the bodycam footage saying "she's telling me that she killed a guy in Red Lake, stole his car, and drove to Duluth, which, I find unlikely, but she's tweaking pretty [] hard here."

Sergeant DeJesus testified that it was not until the following day, August 21, 2019, at approximately 5:00 a.m., that he learned from another patrol sergeant that a homicide had occurred and was being investigated in Red Lake.

Concerning.

Thought this shit only happens in movies and shit man. My landladys son and DIL are really going at it. She just threatened to break his face and specs if he said anything about her relatives again. Hes keeping his voice down but seems to drop bombs every now and then from how his wife gets shrill. I have food coming for delivery and they have their door open from when she was screaming at him to get out I really don't want them to see I'm awake but idk how to avoid that. So uncomfortable.

I've been messing around trying to figure out LoRA training recently and decided to train a style LoRA on the original Marsey Telegram stickers.

Should more flexible than MarseyGen since this is trained on a newer uncensored model, but it's booru tag-based so it's not as easy to prompt.

Civitai Download Page

Recommended Settings:

• Requires a UI that supports SDXL V-Pred models such as reForge/Comfy UI

• Model: NoobAI-XL V-Pred-1.0 (may work ok with other NoobAI based models)

• LoRA strength: 1.0

• Sampler: Euler A

• Scheduler: Beta

• Steps: 30

• CFG Scale: 5

• CFG Rescale: 0.5-0.7

• Zero SNR: On

Use the following tags to generate images of Marsey:

domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail

Full example prompt:

masterpiece, best quality, marseystyle,

solo, domestic cat, white fur, orange fur, black eyes, striped tail, sitting, :D, blush, black background

<lora:marseystyle:1>

Negative prompt: worst quality, low quality

Some example images (with metadata from reForge UI):
