I don't care if you disagree with people who are trans. I don't care if you're smarter than me. But if you hate them, then you're wrong.

Do I believe people have gender dysmorphia? Of course. Do I believe that some of these men have autogynephilia? Also of course. And since these men are generally public about it for fetish reasons and literally hurting public opinion of other trans people they should rightly be... maybe hated is a strong word, but called out for sure.

sounds like a good deal, McDonalds cost $15 for lunch and they look at you funny after the first 2 hours of refills.

Yeah, this is an article that relies on a lot of spin to be negative. Not sure if it more "a place to co-work" or truly "a place to pretend to work", and the newpaper writing the article has a very pro-European stance. I'd take it with a (small, this is China after all) grain of salt.

Lots and lots of bright people who have unrivaled skills... but they choose to put those skills to harmful use. I just don't get it. To be such smart, they have to know doing those things will cost them their freedom. I guess they were born smart but never been taught manners. That's why they think it's okay to commit crimes.

Yeah... if the kid was a white hat and caught trouble just pointing out the hack to the company it would be a totally different conversation. As soon as he tried to make profit from the data that puts him firmly in a position he should have known was wrong.

People need to be constantly filtered out of society or else there is no feeling of terror in the general populace.

It is very easy to state the opposite too: if there is no "filtering" you create terror in the general populace. Your type of thinking is very much a luxury belief.

SAG-AFTRA isn’t suing over James Earl Jones. They’re fighting for the future of human voice actors.

They are also going to be fighting an uphill PR battle, given the nature of some of the members and how the entertainment behemoth has been handling some things like translations of anime and the back-and-forth of "only a person can voice a animated character" style progressive nonsense.

A lot of people are hoping they burn out.

Did we forget that Russia basically lost in Afghanistan.

I'm not great at history and was about to point out that Russia was involved in Afghanistan before the US went in.

... It's mostly Americans here. History is something that happens to other people.

Executive orders are not "rules by dictate". This isn't a defense of Trump, but can we please stop skullfucking the language so that when a day comes that we have actual Rule by Diktat, we can fucking recognize it for what it is? Thanks.

Come on, I was hoping they would ride this all the way to the endpoint of "Franklin D. Roosevelt was the biggest dictator in US history".

If on the other hand you are managing a successful business, you will find things for people to do that have a higher return than what you spend on their salary.

I'd say up to a certain point, and within a certain company size and culture. It sucks, but why would you waste desk space on a person that brings in 1 dollar of profit when the average employee brings in 5 (and maybe the next hire will be above average)?

Now we know where Fauci is: in a secret basement being forced by Trump to develop a secret nanomachine virus to target certain individuals. Vance didn't kill the pope on purpose, he was given a trial run of the virus called POPEDIE. Turned out it was a sneaking mission all along.

Oh, you didn't get the memo. Everyone's moved on from the whole green eco-friendly thing. Climate change is a problem where the consequences are decades away. There are more urgent concerns right now.

USAID gets cut and Just Stop Oil fades away into the sunset, patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Makes you wonder what they actually were about given the track record of annoying people.
