Comment Re:Invite the candidate to an in-person interview (Score -1) 37

How does this promote diversity, equity and inclusion? It doesn't. It's very likely racist and illegal and will result in a visit from the civil rights division of the Department of Justice. You'll be sued in federal court and lose and the judge will throw the book at you.

Nah, Xi can't just do whatever he wants. It may be helpful instead of thinking of him as the dictator of China, which he is not, but as the CEO of China. Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple, but he can't just do whatever he wants, he has to answer to the Board, the Directors and ultimately the stockholders. Many are the CEOs who were ousted by stockholder revolt. Including, soon, hopefully Elon Musk. He is immensely unpopular and Tesla stockholders are watching their holdings crash in value. Be sure that if Xi does something way out of line or hugely unpopular like Elon has done, one of these groups will act to overthrow him, by hook or by crook. He'll get Luigi'd by one of his own stockholders for ruining a portfolio that was doing great before he joined the MAGA Natzees.

State controlled media? You mean like PBS, NPR, Politico and all the rest who got caught red-handed taking US government money? And who just coincidentally follow the government's line.

By the way, your "invading with the intent to annex territory" is an anti-Semitic slur. Israel does not intend to ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza.

Europe is America's market? For what? Europe puts high tariffs on the little AmeriKKKa makes. While Europe is free to dump its products on the lucrative US market for free.

I appreciate the disrespect and ingratitude, though. You're welcome for the longest period of peace and prosperity in European history. You people really are despicable and we cannot get out of NATO soon enough. As you've been demanding for decades.

JD Vance made it crystal clear that Europeans share no values with Americans. We believe in free speech, Europeans put people in jail for memes. Europeans nullify elections if they don't like the outcome. Americans respect democracy even if its people want a second term for Trump. I love you you try to blame America for your problems. How very European of you.

Comment Re: Bluesky - The Social Network for LOSER SOY BOY (Score 0) 52

Remember, Bluesky users left X not because they weren't allowed to express their opinions, but because you WERE allowed to express yours.

it's great for pedos though, CSAM all over that site. And users are free to make violent threats against anyone they don't like, just call them natzees, transwhatevers, attach the istaphobe label that offends you the most. And follow sexual assaulters like George Takei. X doesn't miss you, and neither does anyone else. X is where all the action is, though. Where the real conversations take place. Conversations that really challenge you, if everyone is thinking alike then nobody's thinking.

You mean the way that Russia had a hissy fit when the US got too involved in Ukraine?

Imagine if Mexico elected a pro-peace government and then the US came in, overthrew that government in a color revolution and members of Congress circulated through the coup crowd and the US Ambassador walked around handing out cookies. And was caught on a leaked phone call arranging Mexico's government for it and it happened exactly as she said it would.

And then when the US invaded to put a stop to this, China began supplying weapons and training to the Mexican military in a proxy war against the USA. The China wanted to add Mexico to a military alliance and stack People's Liberation Army troops up against the Rio Grande in what could only be preparation for an invasion.

So if you have Windows 10 at home behind a regular wifi router with 192.168.* address and you're not stupid and don't fall for phishing scams like John "Tha Molesta" Podesta did when he exposed the DNC's fraud and corruption and got it all published on Wikileaks, what's it look like for you? With the all-powerful Windows Firewall on.

I already barely install updates anyway, because the last time I did my laptop started nagging me to pay for Office.

I mean, a nag screen, in an operating system. Like it's some crappy Windows 95 shareware.

Linux? I doubt it. A few years back I decided to try out one of those USB stick installs. Sound or printer or something didn't work so I looked up the error message (bad memories already)and ended up using vi in a .conf file. I screamed and yanked the power cord out of the wall, formatted the USB stick and swore never to bother again. There are a bunch of Windows software I absolutely require, I don't just run a web browser and email client. Oh, and I'm a former UNIX sysadmin, so I'm no lightweight. I just don't want to ever look at another .conf file for the rest of my life.

You are arguing with demons inside your own brain. And losing.

I can only assume this is some kind of self-treatment of mental illness, this acting out in public. Democrats are not well. I

'm serious, not in a political way, but damn, you people need actual mental health treatment, but I have no idea what advice to give to you.

I see this all the time, this inventing something and raging against it. We humans are excellent at pattern recognition, and this pattern happens all the time with Musk and it never used to.

Bluesky isn't about "clash of values". Remember, everyone who left X and ran away to Bluesky didn't do so because they weren't allowed to express their opinions, but rather because you are allowed to express yours.

Or they're "minor attracted persons" AKA pedophiles. Evidently that's such a huge problem that they had to hire an outside firm to delete all the kiddy porn because that's against their upstream provider's TOS.
