> I think it selects for people who don't care Ok, but that is a different thing than a specific political lean. I know quite a few folks who claim to care about the homeless, but those claims don’t ever translate to action. Tha

I’m not a developer. My roots were in hardware engineering (communication/networking) in the 80s-mid 90s, moving into departmental IT leadership roles at senior levels in the mid 90s till around 7 years ago. I sit in the product aren

This mirrors my experience of nearly 40 years in tech as well. In the past when I was in roles where I was hiring SWEs, I would have definitely given an advantage to a self-taught dev over a CS grad provided that they were generally equiva

The problem is that fascism historically encompassed a number of political and power qualities and what is being described as “fascist” today might have some of those qualities, but not necessarily all of them. Ironically the side yell

I am not 100% sure that your implication really tracks with conservative behaviors. I would say it would be more likely that non-empathetic conservatives would work pretty relentlessly to relocate homeless out of their communities rather t

No, cruelty is just a tactic to convey as negative a forced deportations experience as possible to an illegal immigrant. The point is actually to encourage self deportation and to discourage further illegal immigration. The folks going t

I’m not mad at the writer, I am indifferent. However, because of that embellishment or “flourish”, I doubt the rest of the situation occurred as described. If you want people to take your story seriously, why would you disqualify yourself

I didn’t say it was bad writing. I am saying that within it he expressed a disbelief at something that given his position, was absurd. Even if it was done for some sort of dramatic effect, it caused me to doubt the sincerity and accuracy

I didn’t write those words and choose to publish them, he chose to do that. Whether it’s meant as: “Can’t fathom how this happened”, “I don’t know how, specifically”, or “I can’t imagine how they found out”…it’s a totally boneheaded thing t

No idea why you are getting downvoted for this, it seems to me this would be exactly the kind of thing you could do…even hallucinations would contribute in a meaningful way.

Just do what what I said. Google the term, limit it to “news”. See the sources using it and see if they are well known and are considered “credible” on your opinion. What you will see is msn, nj.com, telegraph, yahoo news, TNR, metro.co.u

There are a lot of what I would call left leaning news sites that only refer to Krist Noem by that name. Not just social media. Just do a google search for the phrase and qualify it with news results only. Lots and lots of well known news
