I'm indeed panicking and haven't lost my job, yet, let's see in 3 weeks. I never worked at a FAANG and it terrifies me that if I'm out there I will be competing with people with big names on their resumes. This news coupled with the AI news of the past weeks is making me think about what other profession this forever developer can do to pay the bills.

I took the black pill. Maybe I can find wisdom in past professions' cataclysms, like ice harvesters and milk delivery.

Charge $5 bucks for some type of reports, it's a small annoyance which should be nothing for someone truly concerned.

It wasn't really a recommendation per gov policy in many countries, it was take the shot or else type of deal. Also any talk that didn't toe the official line was deemed "misinformation".

To say "trust the system" requires a religious inclination that many don't have

The simpler explanation would be producers redirecting their gas to a higher priced market. I can't shake the idea that there's a non-zero chance of this being mitigation to a looming crisis with Russia.

Funny story, deleted my FB acct several years ago, then a couple months ago I found a group for my school and tried to reactivate my account but now it says I was banned. Silver lining is I won't be in FB again.

A while ago I would say you are tainted, but I've watched as my group of friends increasingly parroted every corporate media talking point, even when they flip-flopped constantly about a subject. They wouldn't see a conflict there and would deflect if I tried to point that out.

Now I keep to myself and watch the patterns, and I'am ok with that it is what it is, I love my friends and I don't think less of them because of that.

Experts seems to be awfully late to what every John Doe has already figured out, it's easy to be called an expert when there's zero accountability for the expert's advice. If you constantly get stuff wrong, then your opinion is as good as some random person walking the streets.

I think about this approach every two weeks, when I hear that somewhere in the world there's a new initiative to treat the internet like a kindergarten. Sure why not, but I would like to sign up for the wild west, the easily offended and gullible can live happily on the safe side, thanks.

It pays really well to shift blame, I wonder is someone somewhere has an excel spreadsheet with the ROI for propaganda expenses. Like Greta pointing the finger to western countries while ignoring the biggest polluters and the countries that mostly contribute to plastic in the oceans.

so sad to watch recently is peoples' disbelief in how different the reality of the Kyle Rittenhouse situation is from how it is presented to them on the news

I feel pretty positive about this actually. This will be the tipping point for many to finally question all the info they get from the corporate media.

For a long time I saw garbage reporting on subjects that I had the slightest familiarity but I still blindly believed their reporting on any other subject, until something clicked in my mind and now I can't unsee it. I'm sure many are experiencing this click due to the trial.

Reminds me of how important individual rights are, the smallest and weakest group is yourself.

Are we ignoring that todays discourse happens online? People tweet, use facebook, instagram and all other major social platforms.

This gaslight is so typical of people who happens to agree with the platforms bias, for them there's absolutely nothing wrong happening, until some of them get the whack then suddenly they agree the platform shouldn't be able to do that.

For now. China is building its navy and aim to have maritime supremacy in 2050, with parity with the US by 2030.

With more countries having China as their biggest trading partner than the US, Chinas ability to use embargoes as a political tool solidifies each day. China can wreck some countries economy if they stop trading with them, imagine forcing others to follow suit, it would break that country for good.

Now pair embargoes with superior naval forces and China will be able to use their military freely while twisting the arms of any country that tries to voice opposition to it. Much like the US did in the past century, to be fair.

I would still apply for it if I had most of the requirement but not all. They are not dumb and would see that on my resume and on a cover letter I would write explaining how I'm really eager to join them and that I would dedicate my time to catching up with whatever tech I'm lacking.

It's crazy to assume people would be stuffing their resumes instead of they making it clear the position is exciting to them and they would work hard to get up to standards.

Props for Canada for caring about this issue, other places wouldn't give two craps about what happened in the past. On the other hand this looks like a festering wound that will never heal and will plague Canadian society endlessly, including being exploited by authoritarian communist dictatorships like China.

I wonder if there's anything we can do to, in a way or the other, to leave the past in the past. Honestly I think it will be forever suffered by people who never lived throught that, exploited for financial and political gain, and punished upon the ones who never enforced nor supported. Much like US slavery, despite the 750k dead on the war to end slavery.

(Non-US here) It baffles me the response to January 6th, a group of people vented their anger by invading a public building, a symbol of government and power. Not at their neighbors houses or businesses, not looting, not fencing out blocks of a city for themselves. And I here not making any value judgement on the act, it is besides the point.

If unreasonable* anger should be exercised, that it's target be public buildings and institutions, the bastion of power rather than at John and Mary down the street.

* to be decided by yourself

I'm desperate for any news company

I will never go back being that naive again, there are no news of consequence, only propaganda.

The first paragraph is a delicious read, suddenly journalists are aware. If they could only stop and think about the consequences of their race-baiting, rage inducing headlines and poorly researched, mind reading, misinformation articles. We would all be living in a less tense society.

Still is, you must join the air force to work as an ATC.

I can't stand this dooms day view. I bet there were children conceived during the siege of Stalingrad, or any other thoughout history.

The bar is really low if the person helps push the narrative.

how the one tiny country in the whole world

This tactic of saying "oh try to find Israel on the map, it's so tiny, oh poor state of Israel" is often pushed by Zionists, also often trying to link anti-zionism with anti-semitism.

I saw a talk with Ruth Wisse, a professor at Harvard University pushing this narrative.

I just bought the book, god damn it

In Brazil the state provides free healthcare and of course, security through two polices, the day to day enforcement through the Military Police, and the investigative arm the Civil Police.

Since both services are lacking, everyone that can pay, either from out of pocket or as a employment benefit, uses the private healthcare system. The more well to be pay for private security, bullet-proof cars, and other measures.

It's symptomatic to see people using private services, as it may show the state provided ones are falling short. Defunding only hurts the poor that can't afford to pay for good private services.

My guess is basically yes. Once they copy your small startup features and you go bust, what is really left to do? Spend an inordinate amount of time and money that you might not have chasing some compensation? How feasible is that.

Is this why recipes online are such a pain?

"Want to check my roasted platypus recipe? Check out this 1000 words tell on why I love roasting platypuses"

Of course paired with an auto play video of unrelated content.

1. creates an insanely huge web of tax breaks, silver lining is that we would have a lot more accounting positions.

2. Replace steel? I see how this rationale works, we strive to replace X for something that generates less carbon, this ought to work to some extent until nothing more carbon neutral exist.

Government positions are on the frontline of the policy making debate and the execution of it, paired with how humans communicate imperfectly, it's doomed to be controversial. If anything we should give more leeway to politicians to express themselves in areas of contention.

We in fact already do that, just not uniformly. The media run defense for one side while distorting and assuming* the worse of the other. We have plenty of examples of the media covering the exact same thing but coming to different conclusions based on the political leaning.

It's so tiresome to point this out and get immediately gaslighting replies.

It's a team effort
