I have an Asian friend that’s been attacked by MAGA nutters who don’t want Asians to exist.
I had a Jewish mentor in physics in college who had Nazi flags left on her office door.
I am a white guy whose been followed and taunted by Hispanics saying white people should be eradicated.
While I look like a white guy, my paternal heritage includes Native American; my grandma was 100% Ojibwa.
I know the issue first hand. Threats of eradicating each other over biases are a problem among the species, and they happen to racial and ethnic minorities every damn day somewhere on the world. So sick of people with blinders on thinking their problem is unique.
Stfu; so tired of being told by strangers on the internet I don’t know what I’m fucking talking about.
Threats and attempts at persecution of “others” is endemic to human nature.
Religious groups everywhere chant about death for non-believers.
Right wing fringe threaten to attack progressives regardless of their gender.
Apparently not liking Israeli government makes one anti-semitic and inclined to reopen the death camps.
Don’t be so disingenuous; hate groups and those that marginalize the existence of others are all over.
Or stay disingenuous, stare at one burning tree ignoring the rest of the forest on fire.
? -> volcano -> ?
No life preceding death, so no death.
Volcano and meteors are variables, while life preceding death is a constant.
I think you’re just going to annoy people who would rather go home and people who would rather use that hour to work.
Human Twitter posters are members of society. How is it possible to wave off their behavior as not a problem in society when those members of society are the problem?
Generally speaking it’s not hard to argue corporate leadership has lost the fucking plot altogether and are steering everything in to a stone cliff face.
Data driven fiat economics and viral media is being weaponized as a mathematical minority hallucinate they are some essential element of reality itself and not just a few meat bags LARPing hand me down spoken tradition.
My takeaway is it reads like a scientific publication; here’s authors premise, and author walks through an example of what they mean.
The title and subtitle are generic enough to apply to any of the tribal bubbles bleating online about a sense of persecution; Gurner and the CEO class, right wingers, politicians.
Hallucinations of persecution are not just coming from the trans community. It’s just easier to write a coherent article using one example.
Why is that the only way?
> Does everyone here despise casual time with their coworkers or what?
What’s with the trend to hypernormalize human agency and preferences?
Why are alternative approaches to life forbidden? There seems to be a religious like statefulness in people where we see a typical human and assume “they must be like me, and they’re being negative if that’s not true.”
He’s saying what you said; people write things, fuck off if you don’t like what they write, trans people, right wing people, liberal people, HN people.
And it’s being spun here as if he doesn’t get the point we all just absorbed reading his article.
Very “you made this? I made this.” meme.
Do we all join in with Trump flag waving caravans of F150s? They were a whiny minority recently.
Life itself is the leading cause of death.
PR teams peddle memes that play up character; “that persons a maverick and rebel” or “taken out of context” without ever providing the context, or retconning the clearly defined context the original comment was in response to.
It’s a form of obscurantism; use money to flood airwaves with spin, exhaust people with it so they move on; it’s intentional manipulation of innate biological systems; we get tired of the same old forms of information: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/mom-voice-kid-brain-teen...
That’s not just a teen biology thing, it’s just adults get conditioned to grit and bear their daily grind or reality will implode. Anecdotally I know more people tired of their repetitive office job than in love with it.
We’re stateful beings and while media does not have perfect mind control of an individual, media is good at manipulating state of the aggregate such we just start telling each other shut up when we’ve had our fill.
Payola schemes been keeping them afloat since mobile took off. App stores would have become the new default search for a solution engine.
The bits about Detroit and Hollywood are easily explained by generational churn of less media savvy, science minded people. Next generations are far more in tune with how the sausage is made; it’s people making biased political decisions. They know there is no divine mandate to preserve old norms.
The minutiae of history is hardly relevant as we have a completely different understanding of what’s possible due to technological advances. Trying to compare agrarian/early industrial culture and modern culture in the early years of tissue and limb regeneration therapy is false equivalence.
All human institutions that have survived are like a Ship of Theseus; everything has been replaced a few times. We just chant a few old sales pitches.
300+ million people don’t just vanish because CEOs move their companies. The leverage they have is politically manipulated fiat money traditions.
The leverage the public has is experience doing all the work. Ignore the mathematical minority when they cry about gen pop and keep doing the work.
Corporates real role in civic life is distract people from marching on their state capital. They’ll play it because there is no moat against tens of millions with lots of guns.
3 months of integration dev later, we start load testing, the external API fails spectacularly. They tell us to redesign to use their old batch API 35 days before our deadline. We tried, failed, ate shit with our customers. Provider was too big to pick a fight with. Startup failed.
Welcome to software engineering.
Would not surprise me if it was a heavy handed management decision dumped on engineers laps last minute, and is barely implemented at this point.
Give be $5 billion, I’ll hire smart people with it, and binge Elden Ring.
If that’s what Canada allows, then you’re right about the liberals needing to go so conservative leaders can secure the rule of law and order!
Jpow and corporate are coming for worker gains.
Climate change is waved off as a subjective mental illness.
Religious and secular toxic positivity crackpots demand we all smile and express nothing but happy thoughts lest we hurt their fee-fees.
“Experts” like Haidt blame social media, not the world teens see via social media; ossified minds of leadership chant the same old catechisms screwing the kids futures up. What teen girl wouldn’t go bananas as her body starts buzzing with hormones driving her to procreate?
The demand to exist in a cognitive dissonant state is only getting worse.
Not sure that undermines the premise it’s about locking down IP access on Apple’s term’s. An ARM buyer or even just new management will have a harder time coming in and jacking up prices on Apple before 2040.
As belief in god-kings wained, landed gentry sought to keep their kids from peasant work; kings decree a family was beyond such work was seen as unfair. The church was happy to accept payment for study in theology the illiterate were unable to falsify.
Then came bachelors, masters, PhD, to filter and gatekeep even further.
That’s a paraphrase of various historians perspectives anyway. Depends how reliable one finds them to be, I suppose.
