Not just new hires, but also anyone who took a promotion or lateral move, which also puts them into a probationary period. So they're firing all the new employees and all the employees exceptional enough to be promoted or recruited to

There is JellyPlexWatch, which will sync the databases between jellyfin and Plex. I've been using both next to each other for a while with that setup to sync watch history. Honestly I haven't been able to move over to Jellyfin aft

There is the small possibility they graduate from a memecoin to a full fledged crypto coin. Hell if you're lucky enough an entire governmental agency will be named after your coin and the value will skyrocket. [1] If you want to learn

I always find it kinda funny in a morbid way when somebody finds out for the first time that the US healthcare system lets people die all the time because they have the wrong insurance or not enough money. Hell they let people die all the t

This is wild. Apparently now being against racism is in fact racist. Glad HN finally figured it out.

I agree the filibuster is a good thing. But you can't decide to keep it and then use it as a reason to bypass congress.

This is literally one of the things DEI programs push to implement. I have a friend who helps make hiring decisions and this is one of the changes their DEI push included, as well as pulling from a larger pool. It just shows how much propag

I simply responded to the above comment saying eliminating the privilege of white people is a dogwhistle for being racist against white people. It's not. I said nothing about the post, and don't know why you're bringing it up

You're too gullible if you think these purity tests aren't going to be applied outside of the grant applications themselves. This is clearly an attempt to isolate out "woke" scientists and researchers, irrespective of wh

Accessibility was always DEI, heck DEIA was a common term too. The entire point of the ADA is (was?) to provide equity and inclusion for disabled people. That's the difference from everyone equally having access to stairs, vs everyone

According to the now conservative majority on the Supreme Court, there is no such thing as cruel and unusual punishment once your in jail. SCOTUS and the eighth amendment aren't going to save us here, not anymore. https://ww

Why would we care what Democrats are doing? After having lost every branch of government, they can no longer be the adults in the room. The only option left to them is civil war, which obviously won't happen till things get much worse

Propaganda, mostly. Conservatives have gained control of most Media outlets, and have been using them to launder consent. It's incredible that we've given Democrats absolutely no power, they can do literally nothing, and yet they&

Thats how most propaganda works. Russia, for example, has been publicizing cases of extreme racism in the US for years to demoralize black people. [1] Hell this has been going on since WWII, when other countries saw how the US treated their

If my using the same rhetorical devices as you annoys you, maybe consider how you come across to others? Phrases like "roving bands of thought police" make you sound like a child, and makes it easy to dismiss your opinion out of h
