Except we don't get free healthcare or government housing or guaranteed employment or-

They weren't "afraid"

The plan was never for Ukraine to win and Biden's actions make that very clear. The plan was to get Russia stuck in a quagmire and drain them of blood and treasure fighting an unwinnable war.

They wanted to turn Ukraine into Iraq.

And there's no way for the interviewer to know how many years of experience that game actually represents. If it's four instead of five, they'll never know. That's the trick.

Nope. The non-technical phone interview can be bullshitted, the technical phone interview can be passed with enough skill, and by the time they get to you then you aren't even checking for experience.

There are loads of people that get through this process by lying about their years of experience. You have confirmation bias.

The only thing experience is good for is getting better at lying on resumes and lying in interviews. It's a screening process to filter out people who don't know how the sausage is made.

And if you're skilled, you don't really need "experience." Just don't lie about your skills.

How is the whiteboard interview going to uncover the fact that you only have two years of experience instead of five?

It's ur-fascism. By a con­tin­u­ous shift­ing of rhetor­i­cal focus, the ene­mies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

This sounds like a way to get food poisoning.

Or they can just lie on their resumes like everyone else.

This is what the "aid" program is for - it's bait.

You might be misunderstanding what I mean by "minefield". Controlling someone's food is a minefield because it is possible to make misteps. You can accidentally veer into abuse without extreme caution i.e. accidentally step on a mine.

That doesn't mean controlling your pet's diet is inherently abusive. It's just a minefield. Don't mistep.

When parents decide to deprive their children of vaccines, or block them from gender affirming care, or use corporal punishment, or any other things that "parental rights" freaks believe in- what do you think that is?

A huge portion of people consider children to be property, they want the right to control their children and to abuse them however they want.

 

should have got some saffron smdh

 

Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.

I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed

Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:

But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!

SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

 
 

I'm experimenting a lot with fried rice at the moment and I think I'm getting pretty good at it?

 

Unfortunately didn't have any carrot, but still turned out really good!

Tacos! (lemmy.ml)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by queermunist@lemmy.ml to c/homecooks@vegantheoryclub.org
 

Beans and rice cooked in diluted pineapple juice, with peppers, corn, and pineapple tidbits. Then your usual taco fixins (lettuce, onion, tomato, hot sauce) on a store-bought tortilla.

 

Fascism is an insufficient term, as it denies the intimacy between liberal and far right forces. In this week’s newsletter, we present ten theses to understand this ‘intimate embrace’ and the rise of this far right of a special type.

Also, Guerilla History pod companion episode to go with the article.

What really struck me was Thesis Five: the far right of a special type provides a partial answer to the loneliness epidemic that comes with advanced capitalist alienation. It doesn't build real community or friendships or relationships, it's more like everyone being in the same fandom. They wear signifier merchandise and signal to each other with specialized language and all consume the same significant cultural products, but they don't actually build real community.

Instead they build ephemeral pseudo-anonymous online communities and temporary community through mass mobilization (rallies, marches, etc). They often don't know each other by their real names, or anything about each other's families, or their tastes outside of what they use to signal how antiwoke they are to each other.

But this is the closest thing millions of people have to community, even while the epidemic of loneliness continues untreated.

Building community is a radical act.

 

It's got onion and tomato and lettuce and cucumbers and jalapenos and bell peppers and smokey tvp and some spicy sauce 🤤

 

The potatoes are mixed with fried tvp, peas, and carrots. The cauliflower are breaded and airfried, coated with a spicy buffalo barbecue sauce.

Miiiight have cooked a little too much tho 😅

Also here's an action shot

 

Carmelized onions and garlic, cubed potatoes, bell peppers, and egg substitute; topped with hot-sauce, with a cup of white chai on the side.

 

Just a simple chili made with four tomatoes, one onion, half a bell pepper, a three chipotles in abado sauce, a clove of garlic, a couple tbsp of chili powder, a tbsp of oil, and then topped with nooch and air fried kidney beans.

I think I'll spring for mango or pineapple next time.

 

And here they are ready for action
