Men are not okay

You know how scam emails intentionally include mistakes because they want to filter out smart people? Same idea.

Reasonably smart people will see this and go "this is garbage". The idiots will go deeper, and become loyal gop voters.

Did anything even happen to the cop that shot that journalist? Seems like everyone just accepted this instead of bringing charges or vigilanteism

I think this is one of those pearl clutching communities. Borderline collaboration, but it's their power to enforce their rules.

Single use plastic should he illegal for most things. Yes, it might be inconvenient to have to carry your own thermos or whatever, but filling the ocean with plastic is worse than inconvenient

It's too bad there's not going to be a prize when bluesky enshittifies, other than being able to say "I told you so"

He was a pretty smart guy, so I'm pretty sure he understood the ramifications. This isn't like a plumber working in a building that happens to house an evil company. This was directly working as a high ranking software developer at a shitty software company.

I've thought about that. But that seems like a terrible strategy, because it lets the Republicans do anything. The Republicans do a bad thing, or accuse you of doing a bad thing, and now you're incapable of responding to it?

Palantir is pretty awful. I knew a guy who took a job there, a bunch of years ago. When he said where he was going, I asked "But what if they work on something really shitty? Like spying on people?". He was like, "Meh", with a big shrug.

He was friendly and kind to the people around him, but I guess he just didn't care about anyone he didn't know personally right now.

This is a terrible idea. Who is writing such long messages you can't just read the original? I feel like everyone else is becoming an illiterate , inattentive , disappointment .

Per wikipedia

In 1845, the Southern Baptists separated from the Triennial Convention to uphold the institution of slavery

So they've always sucked.

This was my thought as well. Star Trek still has people dying of old age. I'm pretty sure the culture let's you go as long as you want.

I'd think this would be redundant with existing first amendment rights, but clearly those weren't enough. Good for Oregon.

Someone posted the other day something like "A stupid person is someone who creates net negative gains. For example, they hurt themselves and others, and gain nothing from it."

Why didn't the democrats demand hand recounts when the election was initially called? It felt like they all just rolled over and accepted defeat.

I'm so tired of "AI". I'm tired of people who don't understand it expecting it to be magical and error free. I'm tired of grifters trying to sell it like snake oil. I'm tired of capitalist assholes drooling over the idea of firing all that pesky labor and replacing them with machines. (You can be twice as productive with AI! But you will neither get paid twice as much nor work half as many hours. I'll keep all the gains.). I'm tired of the industrial scale theft that apologists want to give a pass to while individuals who torrent can still get in trouble, and libraries are chronically under funded.

It's just all bad, and I'm so tired of feeling like so many people are just not getting it.

I hope wikipedia never adopts this stupid AI Summary project.

That's a lot of people who saw a reporter get shot and went "I'm cool with that".

I'm joking. Most of them probably aren't paying enough attention to have seen that.

Its kind of pithy but like we still live in a capitalist hellscape, so have any resistances really been successful?

despite a decade of experience, I can’t even get to the first round of interviews.

I've had several places reject me without even a phone screen. My last job was the same role, the same tech stack, and I achieved the things they wrote about in the blurb. I just get back "we're looking for someone more aligned with our needs".

What needs?? I check every box you put on the post!

My friend thinks the jobs don't exist, and they're just posted so the company looks good. Or they're some other fraud.

I think that happens, but also there's incompetence in the funnel. Recruiters can't read, ai sucks, blah blah blah.

To clarify, it's not one's fault for not knowing something. None of us know everything. What's aggravating is the lack of curiosity.
