Until you people go after their peer, right? Then it’s “level3 is a private company”.

They didn’t miss it, they don’t care. AWS doesn’t care about incitement to violence either, which I have never seen on Parler FWIW despite being a heavy user. It’s political grandstanding, and a lame appeal to their woke engineers to keep the dollars flowing in.

Hopefully you see what you did there as well.

Makes sense to me in the context of an assault on speech. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re almost close at the end there. The echo chamber of the MSM is worse because it has an air of legitimacy afforded by a history of journalism that doesn’t exist anymore. Once great institutions like NYT and NPR are scant more than propaganda arms for the left’s authoritarian communist regime. And you guys don’t realize you’re part of the echo. IMO the left is no different from us, we’re all trying to navigate this strange post truth world.

Neither accepts that it’s not just the other side distorting reality; both are oblivious to their own distortion.

The disinformation is the notion that police are targeting black people (they're not). The entirety of BLM is built on disinformation. The violence is widespread and easy to find evidence of. There's plenty here, just scroll back to late May:

I was going provide a long list of specific examples but I am very skeptical it would have any effect, I'd rather not waste my time.

This is our country, where "we" are the people who already live here. Most of us were born here, many of us moved here, but we have a pretty good thing going on. New immigration should be a net benefit for our society and it should favor the side of the workers - e.g. Americans in general - not the bottom line of a business class looking for ever cheaper labor in order to extract additional money from their efforts.

Personally I'd like to see the entire H1B program scrapped entirely. If you can't find an American to do a job, hire and train one. If you don't want to, don't do business here.

The rest of your comment is semantic quibbling. "American workers" in this context means Americans. Nothing in that phrasing implies carving the country up into ever smaller groups based on certain characteristics and including or excluding them.

So government slaves, basically?

I lived in a co-op in PA during college, we had a "dish sanitizer" instead of a dish washer. It was basically just blasting the shit out of the dishes with crazy hot water. We were supposed to wash them before we put them in there but nobody ever did.
OMG, thank you so much danso and all the developers of this app! This is the biggest inconvenience and overall PITA docking my MBP, it annoys me constantly on a daily basis. just tried it out, it's like my prayers were answered!
that would be great, then they could just the whole thing down and the world would instantly improve by 10%
You realize that you can still tip, without all of us living under this broken system, right?
And it helps them dodge taxes.
> because FL is a right to work state and you do not legally have to turn in a two week notice

right to work or not, is there any state where you have to "legally" give 2 weeks notice? i don't think there is.

i would pay $2/month at most for facebook.

I'm pretty sure the other end has to be running `pingd` to get a response from ping. Some do, some don't.

I might be wrong but that's always been my understanding.

Well it's probably not natives who'd be moving out there. Think of it as a polite invitation to transplants to go home.

Re:Wells Fargo Hit with $1B in Fines on Friday April 20, 2018 @08:32PM (#16889332)
In-branch customer service has gotten super annoying in the last 3 or 4 years. I walk in to do something simple, there's like 8 bankers standing around in suits, doing nothing, and one of them rushes up to me like I just made their day and starts enthusiastically helping me with my simple thing... it's better than a long line and a disinterest in doing their job, but god damn it's creepy.
