I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.

There was no spontaneous combustion in it, but you may be interested in Ricky Gervais’ The Invention of Lying. Not the best movie but worth a watch, especially if you like his style of humor.

I mean… looking at people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, you don’t need to be super rich for people to give your intelligence too much credit.

Oof, I am also a UI/UX and middleware person. I am going on 13 months of unemployment. The job market is nonexistent right now. I’ve started looking at a career change, even though I still have 60K in student loans.

It felt so weird when Tim Walz was lauded as a “gift to progressives” when he was running on a platform of “kids deserve food”.

Last time this happened there were no consequences for those involved.

I grew up UU. We considered it an ideology not a religion.

You are making a lot of assumptions. All the private and charter schools in my town are extremely religious and constantly on the verge of losing accreditation due to prioritizing profit and religion over education. That’s the big reason nobody is using the vouchers my state is trying to push.

When I was in 9th grade one of them was forced to close and several people had to redo grades. I was in class with people who had been sophomores and juniors that’s how bad their private school was.

I’m not saying all private schools are bad or that all public schools are good, but yeah, you are making a lot of assumptions.

I’m not sure if it happened in this case but Ars is known to use A/B titles. It auto selects the title more people clicked on after a couple hours.

Don’t forget the LA County Sheriff… just as bad, slightly different jurisdiction…

This is what it’s really all about; everybody has rights, or no one does. There is no in between.

I went to test drive one once and couldn’t get my legs under the steering wheel.

You can say bullshit on the Internet.

It has been said before, but being reduced to a place of normality from a place of privilege is always going to feel like oppression to the privileged.

I think it’s one of those “will of the voters” things they keep going on about. If we don’t let Republicans destroy democracy then we are besmirching the rights of their voters, who just happen to be majority white and clearly gave Republicans a “mandate”. But fuck you if you’re a Democratic voter, It’s not possible for Democrats to have a mandate.

I’m not totally sure though, trying to think like them makes my brain hurt.

TSMC (a company that makes computer chips and the T stands for Taiwan) is still one of the most strategically important companies to the US. I doubt any of the oligarchs will want to see it go without a fight.

Some people need to understand the history of the trail of tears (good and bad) before blindly jumping into the Indian fueled propaganda…

You are absolutely not arguing what you think you are arguing.

My guess is, whatever the reason, it’s the real reason he is leaving. He went as far as to accuse his accusers of colluding with the governor’s office to smear him.

No we aren’t. Some of us are stuck here.

As an unemployed American programmer I am insulted. This idea that the talent doesn’t exist here has been a lie by corporations to keep IT wages lower.

We have to take an amper-stand.
