Yeah, I’m not a “Trumper,” but the amount of preemptive conclusions and quick judgments people make, especially those who claim to be tolerant and empathetic, is quite hypocritical.
I don’t deny that I sometimes jump to conclusions too, but I’m amazed at how people don’t even bother to research for even a few seconds! They see a picture, realize it’s not a person destroying something Trump tweeted, notice other comments that jump to conclusions, and that’s all it takes for them to make their own conclusions.
If those in charge’s goal is to divide us and stifle critical thinking, they’ve been remarkably successful. It’s a shame because humans could achieve so many incredible things if we weren’t constantly divided and consumed by hatred.

This isn’t about this company, but this post just gave me PTSD from a recent interview process.
“Soo, we can’t offer you a salary even though our job listing said we would. But you’ll get 5% stake in our startup, which I’m sure will do great even though I’m using my parents money and have zero business experience! Also no vacation, 60 hour work weeks, oh and no health insurance either. We’re a small business trying to make it work!”
Legitimately had this experience after a fucking 5-stage interview process for some small startup, promising a “competitive compensation package”. I guess I should’ve been more assertive in asking their salary range when they kept giving me vague hints at a bullshit compensation.
Waste of fucking time and money. I could tell they were annoyed that I didn’t treat them as if they were Gods offering me a place in eternal bliss. I said “So you guys can’t offer me an actual salary?” and they had the audacity to come back with “well not everything is about money”…says the dude whose parents gave him $1.5 million seed money to start his own little “marketing” company.
When I declined the offer, they quipped with “Thank you for taking 8 hours of our valuable time to get to learn about the company and drink our coffee”. They also said they would reimburse my parking (city parking) to make the interviews. That never happened. Down about $150 and 8 hours. Did they expect me to fall for some sort of sunk-cost fallacy?
The ego and audacity some of these people have astonishes me. They must be so fucking miserable on the inside.

So my comment was meant to be a shared experience of struggle that others could hopefully relate to in solidarity. Not an opinion or argument. That may not have been clear from my comment.
There’s nothing privileged about quitting a job.
I would 100% disagree with your statement here. There absolutely is privilege in being able to quit a job for some other argument than “I fucking need the money to feed my family this week”
Maybe you have never been in such a situation? I have, and I’ll tell you that it fucking sucks. Having to choose between moral values you hold very close to heart and risking not having a paycheck to care for a number of dependents.
- Comment on Oh well... 3 weeks ago:
My thoughts as well. “Lol go ahead and fire me? Either I’ll just take another wage slave job or realize that you really fucking need my labor. Either way, two scenarios I can risk myself being in”
I also realize this is a very privileged position to have. Because I’m in such a position, I can be truer to my moral compass and values. Behaving in ways that enrich myself at the expense of others wellbeing would be extremely selfish since I can actually choose not to be selfish and still live a relatively privileged lifestyle.
Just kind of wanting to let people know that even in the fairly upper echelons of social status, there are those who fucking hate the system. I’m economically satisfied, but I’m incredibly deprived of human experience and brotherhood.
The few organizations and groups I’ve been in that had real class consciousness were the most alive and joyous I’ve ever felt, even though at the time I was dirt shit poor. I would give anything to go back to those times. And I am now realizing this wish of mine isn’t fantasy. Enough human courage and anything is possible.

Yeah actually I can see your point now. I interpreted it as the NYPD taking the opportunity to turn this into a PR stunt that disgusts the OC. But they never specified, so it is all technically an assumption on our part. I just find it more likely the oc is talking about behavior other than the physical act of arresting someone for immolating someone.

- Comment on How do we know the government doesn't just have a secret hardware backdoor in all our devices? 4 weeks ago:
Yes this is something I’m more interested in learning as well. Data access to servers by adversaries can be largely mitigated with E2E encryption and VPN use so that even if, for example, the NSA wanted data on certain servers, unless they had an encryption key, would be largely meaningless (unless metadata wasn’t encrypted). We largely know that if LE wants data, they can get a court order to hand it over.
What I’d like to know is if there has been any evidence of “hardware” backdoors like what you now describe. I haven’t been able to find evidence of any successful attempts by major agencies/corporations, but I guess part of a successful attempt involves the public not knowing that it exists.
My threat model has me using an iPhone with Lockdown Mode & Advanced Data Protection enabled. I am wondering if I need to reassess my model to potentially go for the Pixel with GrapheneOS.
According to my research, the iPhone with these specific settings for reducing attack surface and encrypting everything that gets put onto servers is more than enough for myself (admittedly a pretty stringent threat model). But would also like to hear what others think.

False dichotomy. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
I swear, it should be mandatory to take formal/informal logic courses. The amount of fallacies I see in people’s arguments is astounding.

There’s far too much circumstantial evidence and credible testimony to simply conclude that it’s all “a distraction”.
We’re talking about numerous firsthand whistleblowers, many of whom have risked their careers, reputations, and even their safety to share their experiences.
Nobody’s saying we know exactly what’s going on, but writing it off as “stupid” or “illogical” because it doesn’t fit neatly into our understanding of the universe is shortsighted at best. The fact that something defies our current scientific understanding doesn’t mean it’s impossible—it means there’s more to learn. Calling it boring might say more about your own curiosity than the topic itself, and to dismiss the topic entirely is incredibly insulting to the many whistleblowers who, again, have risked a great deal to share what they know with the public.
