I think a lot of people in the US have their head so far up their ass being racist and doing other xenophobia, they'd rather drown in their own shit than than have "one of them" get something "for free".

“Top-down mandates to use large language models are crazy,” one employee told Wired. “If the tool were good, we’d all just use it.”

Yep.

Management is often out of touch and full of shit

Republicans have a lot of blood on their hands and we should stop treating them as reasonable adults.

Gerrymandering should be a crime and conviction should mean removal from office and a life long ban on working in politics.

Now we just need a way to do that that isn't vigilante violence.

It is kind of frustrating how every system needs to resist people (usually conservatives) from acting in bad faith.

If those Internet duds that get mad about black people in video games spent like half that energy being mad about, like, wage theft, we'd be so much better off.

Hmmm disagree. If someone's politics are violence, and they have a serious path to enacting them, it's self defense. Self defense is generally acceptable.

I don't want to politely walk into a concentration camp because a bunch of people in states I don't even live in voted to exterminate the queers and their friends.

Also anyone who's going to say "Gay marriage is violence against society" is an asshole and wrong. Anyone who says abortion is murder but isn't doing jack fuck to help living humans is not worth listening to. Just to preempt the "well they think the same about you!" nonsense.

A 2021 report from the Congressional Budget Office indicated that the $80 billion in added IRS funding over 10 years would yield approximately $200 billion in added tax revenue without raising taxes. The Biden administration this week said $140 billion would be added to the debt over a decade due to the cuts, per the Washington Post.

Anyone who says republicans are good at the budget and national debt should be laughed out of the room.

They are the worst of people and I pray that saint luigi will visit them.

A confounding issue is the apps themselves have gotten worse over time. Like, old okcupid you could search. You could type in like "final fantasy" or "the Mets" and find people who liked those things enough to put them on their profile.

Now you're limited to whatever the app decides to give you. Well, the app doesn't want you to leave so that incentive doesn't line up.

In 2020, Joe Rogan moved from Los Angeles to Austin after visiting and realizing he didn't have to wear a mask at a restaurant.

What a profoundly stupid man. Him and all his idiot followers deserve far worse than they're getting.

Wage theft is bigger than all other theft, but far fewer people are dragged onto the sidewalk and strangled to death for it. Maybe that should change.

Funny but snopes says merely a legend https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/field-of-seeds/

It's funny because the people who usually say that are the kind of people who prioritize their feelings over facts.

It's all projection with conservatives

"They asked Nikki Haley supporters to line up in the middle of the auditorium and were booed and screamed at by the Trump supporters."

Uh excuse me what the fuck. This is some culty two minutes hate not-ok behavior.

Hegseth is a cartoon villain that shouldn't be anywhere near a position of power

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn't believe women should be allowed to vote.

Just an utter scumbag.

things like this are why anyone saying the right wing is fiscally responsible should be laughed out of the room

I'm going to guess

• poor media coverage
• media is explicitly hostile to protests and pro trump/right-wing-extremism
• many people are living paycheck to paycheck + we have minimal labor protection
• years of left-wing organizations being kneecapped (eg: the murder of fred hampton)

A lot of people are angry but there's not really much organization. As much as I would love someone to take 50,000 of their closest friends, march down to DC, and shoot every republican in the head, without years of organizing that's just a fantasy. Unfortunately, the right wing has been doing years of organizing and it's now bearing fruit for them.

Honestly it's a little how my mom talks when she gets upset. Just a stream of things that are loosely connected but are all bobbing along on the same river of emotion.

It's how I get stuff like "You never call me you call your cousin he's cheating on his wife you know just because you broke up with your girlfriend doesn't mean you have to take it out on me". You can kind of see how there's a shared feeling or theme there but it's not articulated.

I'm going to guess that for someone who produces output like that, input of that type goes in easily. They're just vibing on the emotions.

This feels like the scared, naive, suburbanite's take on cities and public transit. Like, do you really think a system with 3 million daily riders has constant brawls?

Feel like ads in cars should be illegal, but the US doesn't have a government that believes in good things.

Asked why Trump was still on stage, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told CNN, “He’s here for the people. Not like loser Kamala Harris.”

How are we in such a shitty timeline that childish name calling is just unremarkable? Every trump supporter should be ashamed of themselves.
