Yeah I'm sure of it. They're so effective at playing the victim in this kind of stuff, and people like Biden and Bass and the lying news media are complicit by leaving out the context of the protests and saying shit like "there's never an excuse for protests at a house of worship"
Fuck Karen Bass. I wish her a very long COVID. Can't believe I voted for this piece of shit.
This was her response to a clash between pro Palestine protesters and Zionist counter protestors outside a synagogue: https://x.com/MayorOfLA/status/1805110392806642141
What were the protests about? The synagogue was hosting an event advertising land for sale to Jewish Americans in the West Bank. How anyone could think that the protests are antisemitic with this context is beyond me. I hate this weaponized victimhood that these Zionists employ.
I've definitely heard rizz from a more gen-z acquaintance of mine. He's also very much a bro type and very into hookup culture, not sure if that's related to the subgroup thing mentioned in the other comment
Do you have any book recommendations on the "rationalist" movement? I know too many people with EA/rational type brain works and I want to get some good books to counter their BS
I fucking hate this bazinga brained "throw precaution (and/or regulations) to the wind" bullshit. I know that's like the SV MO but it makes me really just want to go out and do something really cool.
"Oh yeah let's just send thousands of new satellites up every year and every 5 years we'll let them burn up upon reentry and send up more!" 
Another thing, and I know these techbrained libertarian types don't understand this, is that even if you accept this is something that humanity needs, you certainly don't need companies competing by each running their own satellite arrays. This is a natural monopoly to end all natural monopolies.
Good luck comrade!
Did the symptoms come back when you stopped vaping the CBD?
In Amerika and Klanada at least I am pretty sure the 2x spicy one is vegan (but not the 1x spicy, they use actual animal products in the flavoring)
Without revealing too much personal information, I was laid off from Intel a few months ago. They did a huge downsizing in my division and I think it's gonna fuck up the organization long term 
At least one of the people on my former team left the company shortly after the layoffs (and thes person had been there almost 10 years) and I expect more will do similarly
I started working there because the technical side of the work seemed interesting, and I didn't reflect critically enough on their position as a US military contractor as well as a huge supporter of the Zionist entity. The cognitive dissonance started building in my head when they announced a $3b investment in the occupied Palestinian territories for them to open a new chip plant (and this was since the genocide started), which made me very upset. I was getting ready to quit when I got laid off, which ended up being the best outcome because I got severance lol
Anyone have any leads on any tech companies that are actually ethical? 
some real great takes here 
I was brought up in a household that was anti military.
Only as an adult was I able to form my own opinion.
Without a strong military in the past we would certainly not be here today and without a strong military now, who knows what other nation might decide to attack our sovereignty.
It's childish to be anti military - it shows you do not understand the interconnectedness of our society - good and bad.
It's disingenuous to ignore the effect the aggression of the cold war and its aftermath had on the current Russian situation.
Bro, I don't know what warped version of reality you live in, but without a strong American military to stand up to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, you'd be speaking Russian right now. Ukraine blew their chance to join NATO as soon as possible like everyone else did when the Cold War ended, and they are now being slaughtered en masse by Russia in their attempts to turn them into their newest southwestern oblast.
As a liberal raised during the backlash to the Iraq War, my attitude towards the Military Industrial Complex has really changed in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s seemingly inevitable invasion of Taiwan. Add in the possibility that the US could be dragged into new wars in the Middle East and even possibly South America, and I really don’t think we have the luxury to say “weapons bad, let’s not build any”.
Being the policeman of the world absolutely sucks. War absolutely sucks. But one of the best ways to prevent China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc from saying “might make right, let’s take this land and these resources from our neighbors, since no one can stop us” is for the US to say, “no, we will stop you and we have the will and the tools to easily do it.”
who's responsible for the US choosing to police the world? 
The US is the most benign empire one could wish for. History makes that plain, and just peeking over the fence at contender's tendencies and track record further reinforces that. Easy moral justification backed by actual moral justification.
in honour of all the defense of us atrocities i present to you: the hacker news logo with the fascist "life rune" symbol:
maybe we can get that as an emoji in the same vein as 
This also shows how fake prices are. They can handle their costs going up (paying more workers) without increasing prices because they know that people can't afford groceries right now.
