   hey don't worry, all these people tweet about how much they love black people and trans rights when it's beneficial for them to do so. they definitely have our backs.

   it's communist nonsense that's used to justify the idea that walking dogs for ~25 hours a week is just too much.

   But it is exploitation though, right? If a bunch of people in a western company say "well, we could just hire people in africa because that would significantly reduce our costs," isn't that an exploitation of cheap labor

   I don’t understand why anyone buys things like this. Paid emotes?? Who cares? I guess I understand children who just ask their parents, but who else would actually pay money for this stuff? I happily pay for DLC like expansion packs or othe

   Why is someone who is only famous because of gamergate a reliable source for stock market predictions? Brianna Wu is an idiot.

    I've realized this recently too, and I'm trying to just ignore/flag everything even remotely political that gets posted here. If you disagree with the idea that information control is something the government has no business

    I really don't get this response. Cops treating black people horribly is also "nothing new under the sun". Does that make it ok? Has everyone just given up on the idea of reigning in these federal agencies?

    Well thats A-OK because the good guys are in charge here! We love our corporations and when they work with government agencies we love them even more. You’d have to be some kind of nazi to have a problem with that.

    How long do your PRs stay open? Could you explain a bit more about what happens between opening the PR and merging it, like automated/manual testing? At my company we do something similar, except we trigger production deployments off t

    Did that actually happen, or was that the headline of a breitbart article that you didn't read?

    Another way of saying this is that immigration inhibits wage growth.

    That’s not how I’ve interpreted the reporting on it so far. I haven’t read anything that explicitly claims twitter “threw the election” for biden, at least not in the actual twitter files. What I have read is that a lot of the moderation re

    I agree. Which is why lists like this should be outright rejected - they will inevitably be abused.

    This is such a ridiculous strawman. Not a single person in here is arguing that we should be allowed to use that word, and I think as a society we agree that it's 100% not ok to use that word (unless you're black.) It's not e
