Soon enough it’ll just be robots shooting robots
It’s a good question OP. I think about this too.
I left around 2017 when it was clear that it was ruining family relationships through propaganda from Cambridge Analytica and manipulation from Russia over the election.
This was after years of being annoyed at the changes to the platform, which ignored privacy and were user hostile.
By the time I left I had removed the app from my phone years earlier and had an arms length relationship to it.
Profits are unpaid wages.
What are we gonna do about it?
All I see are DEI hires
They did it once, they could do it again.
Once I saw a homeless guy begging outside of a sandwich shop, I was going in to buy lunch, so I ordered two sandwiches instead of one. I came out and offered the extra to him. He scoffed at me and refused it. So, I had a sandwich for lunch and I had a sandwich for dinner, and both were delicious.
You gotta figure it out. Go find a company that appeals to you and order a sampler pack. Try the samples one day at a time until you find the one that is you. I like this approach better than going to some store counter because you can take your time. After smelling one or two colognes, it’s very hard to be able to appreciate others, so ordering the sampler packs gives you time to decide.
Few of my colleagues like Alexandria Fragrances. I’ve had luck with Guy Fox. Both have sampler packs. It’s literally a rabbit hole of choices. One of my colleagues spends thousands of dollars on rare perfumes.
I suspect businesses won’t let him deport immigrants either. They are all employed as cheap laborers.
Why do people bother with bots? People often say “to farm karma.” But Karma is literally worthless.
Edit: ah yes, downvote the guy asking a question. Who are you miserable people?
I don’t have facebook
Yeah actually, most H1Bs are making more than they could in their home countries and more than most Americans too. Big Tech salaries are upwards of $300k. There is a lot of incentive to stay.
Another point to consider is a very large percentage of H1Bs are Indian and a lot of them support Modi. They also support Trump by extension and believe that Trump only wants to crack down on “illegal” migrants, not them, despite the fact that Trump tried to curb the H1B program during his last term and Biden reversed it.
Aim at the Kremlin
I think the problem is Mastodon makes it hard to find people to follow. I can’t even find mainstream media official accounts, let alone an actual celebrity. The discovery features need to be improved.
Meanwhile on BlueSky I instantly see every major news outlet in my main feed.
My boss says “you’ll”
Ukraine needs to ignore the US if it kowtows to Russia. Europe needs to step up and build its military and supply Ukraine with everything it needs, if necessary. Ukraine should also get some nukes.
You own property in the state, or consider it your primary residence, you have income from business or investments in the state.
It really varies state by state.
Certainly, at the presidential level, however I recall Congress having a bunch of “tea party” nut jobs elected that shut down the government over the passage of Obamacare.
I started paying attention in 2000, even though I didn’t really understand it and couldn’t vote, however my first voting election was 2004 and I remember being disappointed when John Kerry lost to Bush, who had already gotten us involved in two wars that would cost trillions of dollars.
My experience has been that Republican administrations tend to be rife with corruption, cut taxes for rich people and run up the deficit.
Eventually, people get sick of the moral decay and tanking economic prospects and put a democrat back in, who tries to undo all the damage, but is blocked most of the time by Republicans in Congress acting in bad faith.
Then, the right wing media environment drums up a load of fear about immigrants and actual lies about the economy to get everyone voting for a Republican again.
That’s the cycle, except the Republican media ecosystem gets more extreme over time, and so do the candidates.
There is a reason though. It’s because you probably want to put dates in order and when you ask a computer to sort things for you, it will automatically order things correctly when the date follows this format. If you put the month first, then the day, then the year, the default sorting behavior will order things incorrectly chronologically speaking.
