Had taken a break from Silent Hill 2, so I got back into it today. Aside from that, not much else really.

It has a lot to do with the idea that there is socio-economic mobility in the US if they work hard enough. Add to that the fact that many people see themselves as middle class rather than lower class even though the vast majority of the US is closer, if not already, lower class.

This is pretty much what happened last year. Huge issue that would cripple our ability to do work whenever it would pop up. The email chain started and went for close to 6 months. The team that was tasked with tackling the issue on our end was laid off or quit early on and the team working on the issue for the other company wore their disdain for us on their faces whenever we had video conference calls to discuss the issue and what was being done.

I love spending months describing a very clear and obvious issue and having two companies (the one I actually work for and the one that is contracting that company to do work for them) looking around confused for the entire time. Time and againyou-hear-about-video-games

Biden could do something to try and make it up to all the people they've ignored the past 4 years before he leaves office and make a slight attempt to build support for the mid-terms.

Instead he's going to do a little escalation to remind everyone why they should hate Demsbiden-troll

I mean... if you take what some of the campaign ads talked about, sure. But its the same drivel as always. "Tax the rich, tax cuts for the middle class". If that's all it takes for libs to believe that Harris' platform is redistributive then that's on them. Anyone that is willing to look more deeply into it will see that every Dem president in the past 30-40 years has campaigned on such promises only to codify whatever tax cuts for the wealthy their Republican counterparts had enacted before they became president. And that's not even getting into the fact that even if they did increase taxes on the rich they'd still have to enact policy that actually puts those tax dollars to use for the social welfare of the people, something that we all know they also haven't really done or when they "try" its the sort of means tested bullshit that you alluded to.

I like their little pie cookie things, but the lines ffs. What exactly is the hype?

 

soypoint-2

I'll allow myself to get hyped just this once. Funny thing is I've recently been thinking of rewatching season 1.

 

Tesla's Germany factory is going to have a train service that will transport its workers for free, which cool, train good. But a number of the usual suspects (Teslarati and other Tesla/Elon loving media) are claiming that Tesla are launching the train as if it had built the train. In some cases adding its "mind-blowing" capacity (its the same as a regular train).

Here's the kicker: Tesla only slapped its name on a train built by Seimens, using batteries manufactured by Toshibadata-laughing

Typical freeze-peach slop fronting as defending a student who had her valedictorian speech cancelled.

Things are not well on America’s college campuses. The disgusting antisemitism that seems only to be building – and campus administrators’ lackluster response – has led to some truly frightening displays.

This is the introduction to the article, which is supposedly defending free speech. Instantly criticizing school admins for not having a strong enough response to the protests because its not like they haven't stuck the pigs on the protestors. Also "truly frightening displays" links to an article that talks about the rabbi who warned Jewish students not to attend classes in person, which itself fails to point out any "frightening displays" of anti-semitism.

Now, Tabassum may well have repugnant personal views and her speech may stoke division on campus. Even so, her academic accomplishments should not be undermined because of fears of possible violence and a speech she likely hadn’t even written yet.

Got to love how being pro-Palestine is described as having "repugnant personal views" and "stoking division on campus."

But the chefs-kiss of the article is conflating Tabassum's pro-Palestine position with some transphobe. A college decided to let the transphobe have a speech.

Gaines, who is often described in the media as an “anti-trans rights activist,” is a lot more than that. She is an accomplished former NCAA competitive swimmer who became well-known after she tied transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-yard NCAA freestyle championship race in 2022. Following that experience, Gaines has become an outspoken defender of fairness in women’s sports and speaks frequently on the issue at universities around the country.

The author seems to have a rather glowing opinion of Gaines. There's no pointing out that Gaines' transphobic views are leading schools and politicians to effectively taking away trans students' rights to compete in the sports that they love. No pointing out that she too could be "stoking division on campus" like she did in describing Tabassum's speech.

Gaines is used to attracting pushback – and even violence – on campuses, so it’s probably no surprise to her that there are factions of the Adrian community who aren’t happy that she will speak at the school. A student LGBTQ+ group started an online petition urging the college to “disinvite” Gaines. It now has more than 1,600 signatures.

Again, a very disingenuous description of something "disturbing" or "violence". The linked article just shows her getting yelled at. No one put a hand on her on either of the videos in the linked article.

 

“Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews,” Carano wrote online at the time, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

If there wasn't already enough proof that he would be right at home with any mid-late 1800s robber baron that thought they were engineers, this should be enough.

The mayor has blamed the budget cuts on federal COVID aid ending, and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city.

Seeing this is being reported uncritically on a few other websites and on TV news as well.

The language surrounding the migrant situation is becoming more and more dangerous. It was only a month or two ago that Top Cop Adams said that the migrant "crisis" would destroy the city. Now we have the media running around putting the blame for budget cuts on migrants.

Here's a NYT article that goes into more detail on the recent budget cuts: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116210120/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html
