I grew up in a very religious family. It was funny how you could get ostracized from the community for not following the guidelines. This really (REALLY) depended on the individual communities more so than say the religion and the relativ

Poorly phrased. I'd rather see a courtroom or some structured independent body that is given time to review all evidence and hear both sides determine guilt than mass public opinion. What I see is mob justice not real justice. I don&

The leveraging of mob mentality via digital platforms is what makes me nervous. We've always had local forms of cancel culture. But we've never had the digital weaponized mob mentality like we do with twitter/facebook/i

Yes, but in the past your wrongs stayed as local or tribal knowledge. You said the "N-Word"? You dealt with it locally and then moved on, hopefully grow up and become a better person. Now, you tweet the "N-Word" when y

This is a valid point. Cancel culture cuts both ways, and I find it unacceptable in either direction. The one claim I'll give conservatives is that they did not say they fired him over this it was a lack of performance. I don't

Everything you mentioned as well as agency and the contracting firm. Also the innovative nature of what we were building at the new contract vs. just redoing a crud app. I suspect part of it was me too. My first job, vs my ability to disce

The US government probably has more software than any non-tech company out there. Non-tech being very important here. The US government is not a technology company. So think of the worst enterprise software you've seen and the US gov

I mean that can totally be what consulting is. The nice thing about consulting is when you're doing your own business with it, it is what you want it to be. If listened to people who do this kind of consulting but you've got to

I've had 100% on-site. I've had one where they let me do remote 2 days a week. My current company (I went FTE) allows full time remote for Consultants. You just have to look harder to find these. As a consultant, you aren't

I've looked at and seen similar data. It's a problem too. However, let's put the data aside for a second and look at the perception of these scenarios. In one example, you can fight back legally and protect yourself. You ca

Hey, Reach out to some consultancies. I really like AIM consulting. I know it's tough right now, but the nice thing about consulting is they bring in experts they want to teach them and kick ass. Opinionated, well spoken people tend

I can say for myself (as someone who has struggled with this) I don't want you to feel shame. Enjoy it. Everyone, EVERYONE gets good times in life and bad times. You don't need guilt while you're enjoying an up, and a infan

Our dark history gives me hope. I don't mean to say I enjoy seeing darkness in our history. Instead I see it as a clear point on a compass pointing away from where I want society to head. Even if I don't agree with how everyone

A lot of people want similar outcomes but disagree on how to get there. When you recognize that you and the other person want the same outcome but disagree on HOW to get there it's more annoying than it is anger inducing. I'm no

That's the current law. Because Facebook doesn't post those peoples information. They are a host, not a publisher. If they start editing and fact checking then that's their content and they'd be legally responsible for

I can get behind this but then that specific content wouldn't fall under section 230. IANAL I'm not sure I'll let them fight over it. But if you as a platform control the content you are responsible for the content you publi

I disagree. I keep trying to figure out ways in which I can show people why I disagree. What would have happened if Facebook had been around in the 1920s and Hitler had said, I want to round up all of the people of Jewish decent and murder

I can't really argue with you there. This is one of those situations where the path paved to hell is paved with good intentions in my mind. I don't want Trump saying shit like this, but if any government official is saying somet

I can't remember who suggested it but it would be awesome if we could have plug and play algorithms for our Facebook/twitter/youtube/etc content. That way we could get the bring me top stories from all side. Or, I'

Isn't this what section 230 prevents? It protects Facebook and Twitter from this specifically. It's also what Trump was pushing back on.

Good point, didn't that video lead to protests? Which gave an opportunity for looting. If the goal is peace at all costs, then the goal is ignorance.

You are probably right. I don't think they have to charge you, but they do have to have cause. If there is video that they detained you without cause. I may have gotten my terms mixed up. In my understanding. Cause, is suspicion of

Cities can cut jobs, fire police, put police on notice etc. You might not feel like that is enough, but you better believe that any officer who costs the police money is going to be punished. Maybe not equally to someone else but that&#x2

Police can break the law too. An officer's actions may or may not be legal and that's determined after the fact in a court of law. This doesn't happen all the time, but when police do break the law, or don't follow it c
