sounds like a good deal, McDonalds cost $15 for lunch and they look at you funny after the first 2 hours of refills.

Yeah, this is an article that relies on a lot of spin to be negative. Not sure if it more "a place to co-work" or truly "a place to pretend to work", and the newpaper writing the article has a very pro-European stance. I'd take it with a (small, this is China after all) grain of salt.

Lots and lots of bright people who have unrivaled skills... but they choose to put those skills to harmful use. I just don't get it. To be such smart, they have to know doing those things will cost them their freedom. I guess they were born smart but never been taught manners. That's why they think it's okay to commit crimes.

Yeah... if the kid was a white hat and caught trouble just pointing out the hack to the company it would be a totally different conversation. As soon as he tried to make profit from the data that puts him firmly in a position he should have known was wrong.

People need to be constantly filtered out of society or else there is no feeling of terror in the general populace.

It is very easy to state the opposite too: if there is no "filtering" you create terror in the general populace. Your type of thinking is very much a luxury belief.

SAG-AFTRA isn’t suing over James Earl Jones. They’re fighting for the future of human voice actors.

They are also going to be fighting an uphill PR battle, given the nature of some of the members and how the entertainment behemoth has been handling some things like translations of anime and the back-and-forth of "only a person can voice a animated character" style progressive nonsense.

A lot of people are hoping they burn out.

Did we forget that Russia basically lost in Afghanistan.

I'm not great at history and was about to point out that Russia was involved in Afghanistan before the US went in.

... It's mostly Americans here. History is something that happens to other people.

Executive orders are not "rules by dictate". This isn't a defense of Trump, but can we please stop skullfucking the language so that when a day comes that we have actual Rule by Diktat, we can fucking recognize it for what it is? Thanks.

Come on, I was hoping they would ride this all the way to the endpoint of "Franklin D. Roosevelt was the biggest dictator in US history".

If on the other hand you are managing a successful business, you will find things for people to do that have a higher return than what you spend on their salary.

I'd say up to a certain point, and within a certain company size and culture. It sucks, but why would you waste desk space on a person that brings in 1 dollar of profit when the average employee brings in 5 (and maybe the next hire will be above average)?

Now we know where Fauci is: in a secret basement being forced by Trump to develop a secret nanomachine virus to target certain individuals. Vance didn't kill the pope on purpose, he was given a trial run of the virus called POPEDIE. Turned out it was a sneaking mission all along.

Oh, you didn't get the memo. Everyone's moved on from the whole green eco-friendly thing. Climate change is a problem where the consequences are decades away. There are more urgent concerns right now.

USAID gets cut and Just Stop Oil fades away into the sunset, patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Makes you wonder what they actually were about given the track record of annoying people.

I can remember a time when all the best comics (Bruce, Sahl, Carlin, et. al.) were leftists. They loved satire and used it against the stodgy, humorless, censorious right.

How times have changed! The left abandoned honor when it turned its sensitivity meter up to eleven. They dare not risk stepping on someone's delicate little toes.

The religious moralizer of the 80s and 90s has been replaced by the progressive moralizer of today when it comes to political messaging, much to my chagrin as someone who considers themselves liberal. The fact that progressives hyper focus on intrinsic characteristics instead of self chosen identity is proving disastrous.

These groups are intent on creating a new form of slavery, people who work under extreme conditions for little pay with no legal protection from abuse. This has been a far-right aim for decades with the disbanding of the Braceros program after the SCOTUS ruled those participants could join the farm workers union

As far as I can tell, the "left" hasn't changed their opinions at all in the past 60 years, while the republicans are rewriting their narrative on a daily basis

The amount of times a left-wing person has said "who will pick your fruit" or "who will clean your toilets" or "do you want higher prices" when talking about immigration, when Bernie Sanders has literally in the past said the places hiring illegals should be shamed for creating a slave class, kind of disproves your point.

Not to mention the left fear mongering about all immigrants when people are clearly talking about illegal immigrants... especially when you can find plenty of videos of Biden trying to appeal to legal Latino voters by saying that illegal immigrants should be limited. Not to mention the Obama "deporter-in-chief" moniker.

Trump is basically doing what he said: I think some valid criticism is that he is treating the tariffs and doge like a sledgehammer when some departments required a scalpel. Though as you said, it's Trump doing it so the odds of rational discussion being drowned out by nonsense is very high.

It is still crazy to me that the left switched so hard and so fast on topics like Tesla and immigration.
