  • I have been reading through this book on the matter: The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14894629-the-half-has-never-been-told

    The descriptions of violence toward slaves is heavily discussed and is quite eye-opening to me, since this is not the version I was taught in school!

  • You are ignoring the propaganda and corruption these folks experienced their entire lives, in a time where media was even more tightly controlled than it is now. This generalization and attack on an age group (not mine, I'm millennial) misses the entire point in my opinion. Getting mad at boomers is not in any way helping, especially as it relates to this article. People have been fooled their entire lives and I feel bad for all of us.

  • However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don't convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

    What does this even mean (I'm afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they're going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I'll be using "-site:reddit.com" more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!

  • I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else...this is pathetic.

  • This is all so thoughtful, thank you for sharing!

    I was thrilled when I bought my first home just a few years back and they had a single page hand written note explaining a couple of minor issues, some unusual plumbing, and an apology for a small hole in the wall done by accident during move out day. It was a relief just for some insight, since I didn't really know what to do with a house and was a bit scatterbrained already.

    This would be above and beyond expectations in the best way possible. Thanks for the reminder for me to get this started.

  • Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.

    Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.
