The media is so disappointing these days. A lot of people don't remember this, but the mainstream media outlets were actually playing down the coronavirus pandemic at the start. Then they attacked the travel ban to China. Then did a co

I can’t tell if it’s the BBC or perhaps just me getting older (and wiser, or dumber depending on your perspective) but I’d say the BBC has got worse over the last 5 years or so. It’s usually not factually incorrect, but I’ve definitely noti

Honestly if a bunch of people wanted to censor someone I would want to listen to that person even more. I also think you’re kinda playing Devil’s advocate a bit much here. We have red lines in conversations already. E.g. advocating violence

One could call it “diversity”. I thought that’s what we wanted? It probably doesn’t apply to thought :-)

I think Joe Rogan has said in the past that he just considers Alex Jones a friend and just enjoys having him on the podcast. Also, the guy has had literally thousands of guests on his podcast, including Bernie Sanders or whoever these woke

I told some stories in the other thread here. I definitely agree with chitowneats' sibling comment about hiring based on race being morally repugnant also.

Ok you don’t think I was trolling. That’s good. Thanks. > Go to Thailand, insult the king, and post to HN about how surprised you are that you got caned like a bad boy. Yes, I’m saying it’s sucks it’s like that, here are some examples.

Dude, get new friends. They sound horrible. So many stories. My skip level manager had me in a 1-on-1 once and said something along the lines: “you probably got the green card because Trump likes your demographic”. (I have an EB-1 extraordi

I’m not sure if a blanket ban on politics will work either though. At the end of the day, it’s just another form of nepotism, just like boys on Wall Street all going to strip clubs together or something. It might stop some heroes from shoot

I agree with you, though it is still a little soul crushing. Obviously making big bucks and providing for your family is more important than debating some cancel culture social justice warrior at work who’ll never be convinced anyway, but l

Or, perhaps even more cynically, the HR people are just making up Important Tests to look like they’re doing something important, because they too just want to feed the corporate machine enough so they can feed their families.
