we've left the realm of "do nothing, win" and now they're doing stuff! love to see it
hey this was posted in the middle of the night my time so didn't see it but sending supportive vibes 
If it makes you feel any better the US was like that about even gay people let alone trans as little as like 20 something years ago, and as bad as things are rn its still generally, socially, a lot better than that. It can improve in your lifetime, and it can improve by finding a different social circle, even if it may be very difficult to safely do so :/
holy shit lol are these AI
yeah, I'm not buying the whole nuclear bullshit story,. Getting USD into the economy is probably useful for them on a wide enough level though, for getting around sanctions or whatever. If anything the guy at my work is probably doing the same "scam" (not really a scam just circumventing immigration and labor law a little to make a US salary while being from elsewhere...) just from a different country of origin, not DPRK. Of course if a good opportunity arises I suppose having ins in US companies computer systems provides some espionage opportunities but for the most part it'd be pointless.
Its just a high tech version of workers from mexico coming to the US to work and sending money home tbh.
manipulating global markets all at once would be a new one tbf. New in scale not in kind though. And it is likely to crash economies and endanger the lives of millions if he fucks around long enough
Although I think the thesis of this guy's previous article on the subject - that trump is using tariffs (and then relief from them) to extract pledges of loyalty from private industry, feels pretty weak/unfounded (unsurprising since it was sourced from a dem politician.) It'd be interesting if it were happening but I see no evidence of it, and the fact that it goes unmentioned in this follow up article makes me think this guy is just writing whatever will get the most clicks

eh, actually I think that's a fair reaction. PPB and insults would have been too far, but "are you new here" isn't all that harsh. Though for a lib it might help to explain why undoing privatization is a good thing, I suppose, and why things were so bad under yeltsin
Curious if you could elaborate on what he's said or done that's inconsistent with nationalism?
My initial reaction was "well of course he is, not an ultra-nationalist, but definitely a nationalist" but I'm having trouble finding concrete reasons or examples that "click" in my brain to explain one way or the other
I don't think that OP is in the US. But I guess its a similar story everywhere
What about working with kids at a higher level? Teaching or tutoring or something, but with kids older than childcare age
why would academia be running away if its intellectually stimulating and its what you're interested in and can pay the bills?
I could see it not being a viable career path if there just aren't enough jobs to go around, but it seems like maybe you've counted it out for no real reason
note that I said provider not developer. Obviously people don't have much choice and their location isn't a reason to cast judgment on them, but what jurisdiction a service provider operates out of is pretty impactful. I'm certainly not envious of the current political situation in the Kid Starver regime
