Baraka Obama won the prize for not being George W Bush and for being the first black President of a country with a terrible history of enslaving and mistreating black people. Side note: Democracy will not work in Egypt until the Muslim Brot

The one in Chicago seems like it’s always busy. I love going in there for the same nostalgic reason. It’s great to be able to go to a store and see a selection of computer parts.

I completely understand people that are just doing it for the paycheck and that's totally fine. However, I do feel that our team needs both types of people to be effective. People that have passion will try new things and explore possi

I get where you’re coming from. I’ve have experienced the “smart person who panics”. I usually tell them upfront that I’m not looking for the correct answer and that I just want to see how they break the problem down. I also try to reiterat

Yeah, a lot of Reddit seems to be people wallowing in their own unhappiness. As far as the attitude toward employers, I kinda get it. A lot of these kids were sold the idea that college will mean a solid, lasting career and, pre-pandemic, a

When I hire juniors, I try to give them problems that I know they likely won't be able to solve in the interview because I want to see how they think about things. The problem has become that a lot of kids coming out of college have do

The current US administration also derives a lot of its support from evangelical Christians, who have a belief that Israel must exist in order for Jesus to return to earth. Which I’m sure he’d be a fan of all the lying and killing that was

They don’t care. Social media has convinced them that this leads to high paying jobs for every do-nothing jagoff despite it not longer being the 1960s and nearly every good job requires specialized training of some degree. Our immigration s

It’s also stupid to be talking about “sides” when we don’t even have a handle on the shooter. It could be a random crazy person, a Democrat, Trump supporter pissed off that Kirk was trying to help Trump move past the Epstein stuff or any nu

>a intellectual thought leader in one of the more reasonable groups of conservative youth If calling for the military occupation of US cities is at all reasonable, I struggle to imagine what is unreasonable in your world view.
