• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Think the only ways to stop this is passing a bill prohibiting using money on GITMO like the Republicans did with the prohibition of spending money to close GITMO.

  Or lawsuits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can kind of see the logic here. People think they interview the top three candidates and, if so, the interviewees have a high chance of actually getting hired. These would then be appropriate questions in that scenario.

  However, if they are interviewing 100 candidates in 4 hours then the appropriate place to find this info for the interviewee is the job posting. The hiring manager doesn’t have time to answer 20 questions from 100 candidates and moreover if the information is on the job posting, then they either didn’t read it or are basically asking if the interviewer is a liar to their face. Now, if it isn’t on the job posting, well that is the person who posted it’s fault and they should expect these questions to be asked OVER and OVER.

  If it is general questions like 6 or 7 that normally doesn’t appear on job posting, the appropriate time to ask those questions (to a busy interviewer) is when a job offer is made to the interviewee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The baby boomers are reaching the end of their lives. They are fearful of death but can’t do anything about it, so they are lashing out in other ways.

  For those of you talking about 9/11, do you know that people born after 9/11 now have kids that are entering kindergarten?

  That looks like the character from that meme where the cat is driving the car singing an annoying song and someone that looks like death is sitting in the passenger set quitely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There seems to be two ways of viewing generative AI. The first, which many anti-AI people take is that Generative AI will be captured by big business and will decimate the creatives financial streams. The outcome will be less art with less meaning and shallow profit seeking art will rule the world.

  Then there is the flip side. Everyone in them has a story they want to tell. Everyone has a artistic vision they want to produce. Everyone has a song they want to write and sing. Everyone, if given enough time, talent, practice, resources, and yes, money, could produce something beautiful, deep, and unique to themselves. But they don’t. Why? Because there are barriers. Barriers among barriers. It is the hope of the “AI bros” that AI will tear down those barriers and allow more people to create.

  But because these people have never created before, their work will obviously not be up to pair with professionals. Just give it time. In the words of Randall Munroe: If we want to write Ulysses, our generation might not be sexting enough.

  If this was just McDonalds, shouldn’t there be a Burger King that didn’t raise prices to try to gain back market share?

  And if this was all fast food joints, is there a common reason besides greed that it happened? If it was just greed, you would think one of their competitors could WALMART (lower prices until competition dies) them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t Start With President! Running for president as a party that doesn’t have any senators or governors is a massive waste of money on an ego trip that normally hurts the side that people voting for them support.

  Start with safe democratic states, like New York and California. Run for safe democratic mayor-ships and house seats. Once you get a couple of wins, momentum, and a bench of candidates: then try for governor or senator. Once you get more than 3 of them THEN you choose the most popular among the group and run them for president.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I should of said “makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich” … without them passing on the hurt to the poor. Sort of like how Trump thinks a tariff on foreign goods will only be paid by foreigners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really possible to tax the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The rich don’t earn money from an income. They earn it from investments. We tax investments at the same rate as the top bracket (37%). If we raised the top income bracket to 38%, it would push more rich to receive their income via investment. However, raise the investment tax (capital gains), and we drive foreign investment away. A lot of foreign money is in America because we have a long history of stability and a low possibility of the people rising up and nationalizing ownership of foreign property. Drive that money away and everyone suffers, but that also makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich.

  If I want to search for, let’s say, a node that generates a random number to input into another node’s input, and I have 12 large node packages installed: the old way is to manually search every directory and sub-directory until I find it. Can we just get a simple search function?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We have the baby boomers on the edge of dying. They are afraid of it, but there is nothing that can be done - so those fears shift to other things that “could” be dealt with.

  -Immigrants destroying the culture they grew up in (that culture went away for other reasons), -Gays and trans people being happy (The closeted Senator Graham saying there is no happiness in real life - why did gays of old have to suffer and hide if it was all for not?), -The worst economy in the history of the US! (They are in their 80s, don’t have a job, and running out of money, so it is bad for them)
  -Small town on the edge of dying (because there is no jobs or amenities because they didn’t want them in their town)

  Trump speaks their insecurities and offers a path to fix things that no other politician dares to go down: “Burn the system to the grown and the people you hate will be hurt”. Because modern Republicans care more about hurting the ones they hate than helping themselves, either because of self hate or a illusion that they won’t get hurt in the process.

  I always remember when I learnt that the liberals of Australia were the conservative party, and that labor was to the left of them. Every country seems to have a different spectrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In America “Left / Left leaning” is to the right of “Democratic Socialists/ Social democrats” which is to the right of “Socialists/Communists”. In countries where those are options, it can be confusing calling something that is on the right side of the above spectrum “left”. The bot should have either a numerical score (Nazi =1, Right = 3, Left = 5, Dem Socialist = 7, Communist = 9) or it should have a “Socialist leaning” category so that people get that they aren’t saying Al Jazzera is supportive of Marx
