Are we hanging people for pirating books now?
Maybe save that vitriol for health insurance CEOs

Yeah! They need to leave him alone, all he did was run a teen beauty pageant that was mostly swimsuit competition, he only bragged about 'inspecting' the backstage a couple times, he was only the third most mentioned person in the Epstien files.

It's not like billionaires can get away with literally any crime in America or anything, not with the righteous law and order republicans in control of the country.

No sir, there's absolutely no way Trump rapes kids, unless you count all the sworn testimony from Epstien victims, but they're all women and they're not even rich.

Yeah, landscaping and fruit picking jobs are super desirable too. Next round of hiring is military jobs for the forever war in Iraq, and unscrupulious number crunchers who can make up reports that look like we're not running things straight into the ground.
Just kidding, those are both going to AI.

I can't speak for the official numbers, but in 2016 I had a job in IT after one interview at the third place I applied, I was still in college.

Now it's 2026, after thousands of job applications and three interviews, I'm working landscaping.

Not complaining though, working outdoors is pretty nice.

I wish American leadership would discriminate a little more based on age.

OP is referring to them as brown shirts because they're being used for intimidation, amassing in blue cities like Minneapolis instead of red states that actually need and want immigration enforcement. They also break laws, violate the constitution and kill people, then lie afterward to cover it up.

The issue for most people isn't immigration enforcement, but how it's being done.

I'd love a shorter workweek, but that doesn't address how top-heavy America is right now.

It's getting exponentially worse.

Woke is kind of a weird word, right?

Where I'm from it means someone who's aware of the racism or sexism inherent in the system. They don't like the N word or the R word, but those words aren't banned, people will just think you're a bigot if you use them.

I'm honestly a lot happier since I quit watching the news. That's why I suggested it.

Hey, I get that the country is really polarized right now but your vitriol againsy fellow Americans isn't helping things.

Might be a good idea to disconnect for a while, really take a look at how media influences your biases. We're all nerds here, and this brand of hate is doing a lot of harm.

If you believe this article, you should go spend time in the poorest parts of Iceland, then the poorest parts of South Africa.

If only this administration hired on merit.

Yeah, there's no way humanity could have released enough carbon dioxide to acidify the oceans and warm the environment. There's only 8 billion of us, and massive buildups of industry on every continent.
I thought this was news for nerds, but some of these comments have me wondering.

Using a language model to make important military decisions?
That'll work out well.

Far right is KKK, white supremacists, and literal Nazis. Far left is dope smoking hippies.
There's no comparison.
