You can literally buy new thinkpads with ubuntu pre installed for $140 dollars off the price of a windows PC

Glad those tariffs hit just in time

Should have an hours spent with kids timer

Its not explicit and it is a public figure AND a current news story. Imo, it seems like poor judgement.

Pro individual liberty isn’t a communist stance. Guess where the “commune” part of communist comes from.

Found the guy who doesn’t know what words mean but has to blurt out whatever unexamined thoughts wander into his brain.

“Stealth AI Startup”

Gotta say, couldn’t pick a less sympathetic person for the screenshot.

I think the trump HB1 visa thing has put a nail in this coffin for people in the tech industry. You have to compete with people who get paid 40% less and will be deported if they take a day off. If they made it so visas required prevailing wages and had better protections it would be less of a problem…

Not to mention programming is easily outsourced so wages heavily depend on things like relative education costs. All of which are likely to be less favorable while the country is being dismantled by an oligarch.

Sorry but this isn’t a mildly infuriating post.

I think the atomization of society shows that its not just a desire but that independence is a social pressure. “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” is the air we breathe. Thats why business people like musk deny they got say, emerald mine money; the social pressure to seem self reliant is far greater than the social pressure to tell the truth

Many states have done things like that. the problem is for the feds its all defined in the constitution so getting an overwhelming majority to agree to limit power needs an overwhelming push.

Imo the best thing to do would be push for a constitutional amendment that creates an initiative system that fully bypasses congress.

People should get creative. Imagine if they backed up every sewer in DC

That is the mindset that got us here. Maybe it will help to double down, but the reality is we don’t know, we’re in uncharted waters

The people who say this tend to forget that if you only take the “good things” from conservatism it ceases to be conservatism. The conservative ideology is garbage and only leads countries to a sort of destructive cannabalism.

That haircut grew up so fast

lots of people who vote for dems aren’t very leftist. The reality is that for dems to win they need to pick sides opposed to republicans on enough issues to capture a majority. 2020 Biden did that. 2024 Biden Harris did not.

It should be fineable starting at like 500 dollars + any profits and ad revenue if its not labelled

I actually have more hope. Every fascist regime ultimately fell and outside of the billionaire controlled media it will be difficult to burn the records.

The reality is that a two tiered justice system will always create a group of people who feel emboldened. The correct response is to document these people’s crimes, and stay mad. If the opportunity to hold them accountable comes, take it.

The democrats still aren’t taking this seriously because they will be among the last to be targeted directly. Their friends are still people like Netanyanhu who flout a similar multi tiered justice system.

Work toward building local governments who will push back and provide resources for people who need it.

the 23% of people who didn’t vote for garbage collector… Are they hoarders?

“I’d like to have time to start/spend with my family” -thats all you have to say. Too much work time collapses society.
