Don’t outsource your brain. Give your brain a whack at it.

Noah is a genocide apologist and kinda gross. The big take away is Israel needs help to defend itself and should be taking orders from the US, not the other way around.

Yes but most of you are just trying to retire early and will work for anyone.
Get off Facebook idiots
Unions are for poor people. This person can be much more self righteous by quitting for another 6 figure paycheck. Very little risk.
You are talking about tipping points and those are most certainly covered and inserted into IPCC models. AMOC and permafrost has been covered in the most recent report.

You either are getting your shit from Reddit or worse.

I highly question the veracity of your comment. It looks like copy pasta from one of climate subreddits.

You are not describing homelessness. Andre has a home. You are describing a class that has resorted to this type of activity due to inequities in society.
Putin has been saying for the past decade that he would not tolerate further eastward expansion of NATO, a thoroughly anti-russian alliance. It is a reasonable position. No, invading independent countries is not reasonable. One can hold both these thoughts in their head.
Citations? From what I know cannabis can give you really good "deep sleep." Which is just as good as REM sleep.
this person makes $1500 a month?

Delete Facebook. By god. How many articles do we need to write to communicate the same sentiment.

You live in bubble and are failing to look at all aspects of your situation including your own wealth.
Re:Amazon has ruined search and Google is in on it on Thursday July 29, 2021 @10:08AM (#27996727)
Failure of imagination of the bad things Amazon would go on to do seems like the hallmark of the early days. Great job. Did you also game out the exploitation of warehouse workers?
Companies don’t provide jobs. People provide labor and companies exploit said labor for profit.
“Most others” Jesus, imagine thinking that most people have kids. If you want what you say you want for your kids I would probably get of the capitalism merry-go-round if you have that privilege. Otherwise good luck with that thinking you can work at Apple AND be the type of parent you want to be.

Please be more dismissive and patronizing of a person you know very little about. A DEI story? You are showing your insecurity.
Re:Win at Risk by using systems thinking on Saturday June 12, 2021 @09:40AM (#27484407)
I dislike games where it’s just a system to win. Kinda defeats the purpose. No actual gamesmanship.
Problems like climate change and food insecurity are not technological problems at this point. They are political problems. The job board you want is the board that organizes people to demand political change.
Re:Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued (2012) on Saturday September 26, 2020 @01:32AM (#24596674)
Imagine a world where you don't have to put on a show to get paid fairly.
At some point you have to question people that choose to work at Amazon who have other options. At the very least.
Whenever someone writes a comment like this complaining that something is too hard I always want to remind them that that isn’t an excuse.
Hacker News attracts a lot of readers who THINK they are smart or whatever that means.
Re:Why are there so few black people in STEM? on Sunday June 14, 2020 @03:49PM (#23520747)
So it is racism then? Its ok to say it. Its racism. OC was racist too.
Let’s be very clear, police are assaulting citizens in order to protect capital. Police protect capital not humans.
VP breaks a tie.
Sounds like you just had a bad union or said union was handicapped. A lot of unions now are not even "allowed" to strike, which is THE tool to secure better working conditions.
Or they could you know not blackmail the city into not raising its taxes. This is hugely cynical PR move on its part. Everyone know any one of the top 5 could solve homelessness in their cities if they actually cared about it. Arguing differently is just being needlessly Naive. Yes, we are all literally working nihilistic inhumane entities.
Google doesn’t want its employees organizing. Why? One of the most crucial things about organizing is being able to contact your fellow employees. Yes the equipment is Google’s, but also I would contend that conversing with your fellow employees is in service to the company, in service of making the company better.

If I am trying to organize I would just send a blast asking everyone to add their personal emails to list. Could google call that organizing and penalize? What if I just wanted a personal email so I could schedule getting a beer.

Re:McKinsey and Company: Capital’s Willing Executioners on Tuesday December 03, 2019 @03:57PM (#21696627)
Honestly, workplace democratization. Management consulting depends on illegitimate hierarchies and elitism that discounts regular worker opinions and elevated opinions of “experts.” Consultants tell you how to read your watch. They are by and large not something to be disrupted, but just eliminated.

Cool way to use your mom to advertise for your company.
