I am curious what they meant by “emotionally scarred”. Like, reality can be harsh, and learning that leaves an impression, but that doesn’t mean that the process was messed up, although it could have been.

Awkward is not bad, not always. It depends on the details.

And your reaction is another one that ignores reality. As I predicted, sigh.

If a person treats me like shit, I’m not going to invite them over for coffee, but neither do I hope their mom dies of cancer. That’s just common sense. That’s something everyone can understand, but only if they can get over their own ego.

Hmm. I feel like conflating a subdomain with a password is a particularly sketchy idea, but you do you.

If the company can’t put the interviews into a single 3-hour visit, that’s a red flag to me. And even three hours is too long, should be an hour max, but whatever, I understand that the bosses all have busy schedules, so what can you do.

One browser to own them all would have made the anti monopoly cases against Google even stronger, and it would have been broken up a decade ago.

I know US antitrust is mostly a joke, but Google has already lost multiple times, and the only question is the scope of the remedies, so this is an easy bit of guesswork.

Um, human-guided proof search is several decades old. The text of the article says that’s what this was… So, more snake oil? Sigh.

Well yeah. If you remind people that health care is important, they might start demanding it. But then America would be revealed as “not quite the greatest” country in the world, and we can’t have that, no sirree, not today fuck no.

The system is working as intended. I wish it were not so, but that’s reality. The cops have always been about killing poor folk and minorities and anyone other than the rich and powerful.

The hard way involves nuclear weapons, though. Maybe he forgot about the Cold War…?

It is interesting to read the coverage. Many of us didn’t relish anything. We find it ironic, we find it good for the lulz, and we ask ourselves, “Do you think he learned anything?” followed by the observation, “Meh, probably not. Reality never interested him, so why should things be different now?”

We don’t want Trump supporters to get fucked. Rather, we want to live in a world where Trump can’t fuck over anyone. But that’s not the situation right now, and karma’s a motherfucker.

People who didn’t quit using that website 1 to 3 years ago are either racist or incredibly cynical.

For me it was the opposite. Elementary school had old and dull left hand scissors. I never understood how the manufacturers could screw them up so badly, lol.

Good. Cloudflare is a tool for censorship and spying. Let them leave countries, so that international companies will be forced to stop using them. Interesting how quick that would happen, guaranteed.

Obama expanded drone strikes. He used them for wrong, did it for years, and got a fucking Nobel Peace Prize for it. Fuck that guy.

Just ask George Floyd.

The funny thing is that Fortune Magazine is written for CEOs to feel good about themselves. So they could have a title that sounds interesting, but it tells the average person nothing at all about life and it never will.

The funny thing is that this is really obvious if you just consider the context of the speaker and listener. The CEO wants more money, which means probably more people using their company, so they have a financial interest in saying things that will cause that to happen. So the actual situation is that the CEO is saying something because it will benefit him and that what he said might or might not be true.

It’s an interesting thing because when you deny a doctor access to save someone’s life, I think that opens you up to murder charges. I would love to see every officer on scene be charged with murder for those horrible acts that they all did together.

I don’t think Canada has longer wait times in general, although of course they might on specific surgeries or operations or procedures, but that’s true for every country in the world.

I live in Japan and I’ve never had any of my friends or acquaintances ever tell me that they had to wait a significant time to get the treatment they needed. This includes many people who have serious medical conditions of various kinds in middle and old age. So even if you can find a country that does national health care poorly, it doesn’t mean you should copy them because many other countries are doing it well.

Some people just refuse to watch the video. They lived most of their life in a time when there wasn’t video of bad cops and now if you tell them the story of a bad cop they deny it. And then you tell them, hey, don’t believe me. I have the video on my phone. It’ll take a minute. Let’s watch it together. And then they change the topic.

They know that they’re probably in the wrong, but as long as they remain ignorant, they can pretend that their instincts are true. And you can never reach people like this. They have to decide that they care about the truth more than their own ego.

Yeah, he’s right, I can’t believe that left-wing ideology shot her three times while she was fleeing from them. I can’t believe left-wing ideology murdered her in broad daylight, in front of multiple cameras, and then decided that state investigators were barred from looking into the homicide.

… Oh wait, none of that was left-wing ideology. It was Trump’s lackeys.
