By the 19th century, crackers were fueling European conquest.
I posted this on here 4 years ago and I had no idea what the future would hold back then
Meanwhile Israel has a holiday where they celebrate running over an anti-genocide protestor with a bulldozer, flattening and killing her. They make pancakes on that day to celebrate.
It feels like literally everyone is against us and it is depressing af.
No, they are pulling out these tactics to silence people because the majority agree with us (on Palestine at least). That's why they're amping up the fascism to give the impression of everyone being against us.
Large scale factory farming with little regulatory oversight and wretched conditions for both animal and human alike.
It's going to have to get much much worse before engineers unionize. I am sorry to say my fellows do not occupy reality in a class sense and these layoffs are just a taste of what's to come.
I also don't encounter a lot of the "learn to code" types irl, if ever. If anything, i hear pushback on outsourcing and bootcamps. I wonder how much of that sentiment was actual engineers vs students online who hadn't entered the workforce yet.
Most engineers I know are OK but not at all class conscious people.
I also have some bias here, I don't live or work on the coasts so the silicon valley elistist tech bro musk worshipping cutthroat competitive culture you see at big tech is just not there. And those types tend to be the loudest shittiest dudes online.
Midwest here, most folks just treat it as a job like any other. Still won't fucking unionize though, US propaganda is too strong.
Might be nostalgia glasses + the new sorting algorithm. I've been here a while and things haven't changed that much.
What I have noticed:
M virtue signaling lib job is really rah rahing about the "terrorist attacks" and "seeing and hearing us" "you are valid" etc and I feel like I'm losing my mind
the sheer speed at which the narrative has formed is fucking scary, feels a bit like 9/11 . everyone is just going along with it, no questions asked and you're a monster if you point out that the Palestinians are being genocided.
Being pro-palestine would be effectively career suicide for me ofc so I just have to sit there and seethe
64D chess
Right? Hexbear has existed for 3 years solo. What motivation is there to sabotage other instances
Throwback to the time when someone mentioned Reagan at my in-laws Thanksgiving and I blurted out "RIP BOZO" without thinking, was an automatic brain response
For my efforts I got treated to a lecture about how great he was because of government cheese (?)
TIL Andrew Tate is biracial
