The rules are too strict. Have reasonable rules. Otherwise enemies exploit your Achilles heel. If you want to die on the hill of a subjective concept of morality, fine. But I don’t and I don’t think most do.

I never said unlimited. Limited would be fine, enough to even the field.

Comparing what the US does to citizens to what Russia/China do is laughable and childish.

And they’re both worth the paper they’re written on, esp PRC. It’s basically a secretive ruling cabal.

Lol what a trite and uncritical comment. Yes I’m sure we are the foes of Europe (30 countries), of South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia, NZ. Of Brazil, Mexico, the Carib, Colombia. Georgia. The list goes on and on. Countries in our sp

Lol who holds them responsible? Not civilians, I can assure you. They’re just more nimble because they’re top-down leadership. Not as good at expressing the people’s will, but more nimble at implementing autocratic decisions.

Hah, what is funny is that you think military spending amounts means much at all. First of all, there’s asymmetrical warfare. Russia’s investment in cyber, hypersonic, etc. China’s investment in medium range missiles to create access denial

No, I meant they are part of the bulwark against countries like China/Russia taking over the world.

If you understand these programs they have... they do a meta-analysis of huge amounts of data. So while they use your data, there isn’t somebody personally looking at your data. Whereas China/Russia has people tracking dissidents etc.

Imagine a country where you have zero power to elect officials and have no constitution, so you could never have oversight over it. Oh wait, that’s the system (via China/Russia) that our intelligence agencies are helping protect us aga

Hm maybe it is to protect against China/Russia/Iran/NK stealing our military secrets, you know those ones that protect you and your family from being absorbed into an authoritarian system where you have zero voting rights?

Yeah I’m sure when the West abdicates intelligence funding and increases education, the anti-west axis forming/formed will come in by the campfire and sing kumbaya with you.

Ok so we have to play by the rules to the absolute T. But our adversaries like China/Russia can play dirty and anyway they want, because you say justice is absolute and black and white. Great.

What are those?

Good points there, very interesting about the way other countries respect their land as a shared gift. The US is huge though, there are some areas that are completely remote for hundreds of miles.

No just because the weather. In the winter, all the best stuff to do in NYC (indoor cozy dates, raves, jazz bar, museum, parties) are not gonna be happening much at all. What's the point of paying 2k+ to be there if you're just go

My lease is up in NYC in 2 weeks. Gonna move back home with my parents and save a ton. If I can, I want to go to one of Spain/Mexico/Argentina/Croatia/Uk/Ireland in the fall and work remote.

by throw_this_one 6y ago
What do you think the reason is? I assumed this would happen.

by throw_this_one 6y ago
It's gonna be terrible once November comes. I'm not renewing my lease, just gonna go home and live with the parents, buy a car with the savings and drive around, camp, airbnb. Chill. save a ton, etc.

Yo how do I gain the skills to do something like that? Sounds awesome.

Dziekuje for the reply! Sounds pretty legit. Do those large backend Java projects usually have to do with Big Data? Or fairly vanilla, just with complicated business logic.

Lol hilarious. I’m voicing the reality of the situation, in that the world is not a nice place when you let things fester all over the world. China has done great at mobilizing their population, definitely. But don’t you worry that having u

You're basically saying that we should be non-interventionalist. So if a country gets taken over by a dictator, no big. If they kick out our companies and take our tech, no big. If they develop nukes so that they can hold us at ransom,

Some sort of democracy means the various types of democracy deployed in the world. Switzerland to US, whatever. When did it take away citizens right to vote? You're talking about felons not being able to vote? Yeah I agree with getting

Basically our system is, we want every country to be able to elect their government through some sort of democracy. China's system is, we have a cabal of secretive elites that run the show and they can't be elected or unelected by

So you're just taking one of his statements as the n=1 example that he's not racist? Just spend 5 mins perusing his Instagram, look at maybe 10 random posts and see the undertones.

by throw_this_one 6y ago
Start with Shaun King, who is followed by millions. You can easily see the undertones on most of his posts.

by throw_this_one 6y ago
Basically start at Shaun King and then go from there. He's HUGE with that crowd and his posts are very questionable. At the minimum, the undertone is palpable for every post.

Epic. Are you an American that moved there for that reason? Or just a really good/experienced local that can leverage that lifestyle/salary arbitrage? Might try this sometime soon. I'm pretty well-versed, but which city in EE
