As a member of a marginalized community, I don’t have that luxury. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. I’m doing my part in my own way.

We can have this discussion until we’re blue in the face, but unless the state is willing to send police to round up teachers and force them to work, teachers will look out for their own health and not go to work when Covid numbers are this

I have a friend who is a lawyer. 10+ Years experience in corporate litigation, works long hours, and pulls down less than half of a software dev salary of equivalent experience. And most of the job is rote memorization plus dealing with cli

I have Omicron right now. I’m vaccinated and had my booster in November. I’m young, healthy, I work remotely and I’m struggling to make it through half a day. My symptoms aren’t even that bad, I’m just exhausted all the time. There is no

It’s probably too late, this country is about to fracture. All the indicators point to a coup coming in the next few years which will launch us into an unknown realm of violence. We’re way deep into “the cool zone” now.

It’s not the left; it’s the biden administration feeding meat into the machine. They have absolutely betrayed their voter base in favor of their corporate donors and they will pay for it in the next election when that base simply doesn’t sh

The problem isn’t the kids getting sick, it’s the adults teaching them getting sick and dying. We’ve treated teachers like shit for so long that many are just saying “nope, not dying for a job” because they can go make more money doing lite

This is an attempt at manufacturing consensus by making it seem like these arguments are coming “from the adults in the room” because it’s in the NYTimes. They’re so good at gaslighting their readers (and I say this coming from the left of

Aaaaand there’s the consensus manufacturing the NYT is famous for.

Isn’t this what hostels are for? Not shitposting at all; the organic aspect of it is why I stay at hostels well into my 30s.

Amtrak is particularly vulnerable in that they lease their tracks from freight companies, who generally prioritize their own (much longer) trains over Amtrak. So a small delay can snowball into a large one very quickly.

Suggest you read Guns, Germs and Steel if you want a more plausible explanation for that.

Yeah, a lot of people try to ascribe a causal link from drugs to mental illness when it’s probably the other way around. People undiagnosed but suffering from early stage mental illness often self-medicate, combined with the fact that there

Be wary of any talk of “superior” genes. We have no way to judge one set of genes relative to another even if we did understand genetics a lot better than we do. A genetic trait’s advantage can change depending on environmental factors, so

And to note, these are federal charges so there’s no parole. When you get 20 years in federal time, you may get some time off for good behavior but you’re going to serve most of your sentence.

Some of the most vocal critics of the DNC are coming from the left. [1] They’re a center-right party masquerading as left-wing opposition. They have no interest in helping working folks and every interest in making sure corporations are as

Google Search is beset from all sides right now. Their search results are terrible and people are looking for alternatives. They’re definitely at or past the peak of that product lifecycle.

One of the differentials is that SSRIs generally send you into a manic or even psychotic state rather than a “baseline”.

Yeah, Google today feels like the end stage of many of the pre-Google search engines. They were ok for a while, but eventually SEO tricks took over and ruined everything for everyone. What I worry about is that back in the 90s, everyone had

That’s simply because fentanyl is cheap enough that the drug syndicates in the golden triangle are flooding the market with it. It’s so cheap to produce in industrial quantities using perfectly legal, easily acquired industrial chemicals th

It’s a mixed bag there; a lot of despair can come from being forced to be around people who you don’t like. Working from home has definitely given me a new perspective and I don’t dread working the way I used to. To paraphrase Sartre, somet

Labor organizing is largely being driven by left-wing populism in the face of unrelenting corporate ghoulishness from the Democratic Party. Once the right went hard populist it became the meta because business interests fled to the other si

This should be unsurprising. Governments consistently represent business interests over the well-being of their population. As a result the right is already running on populism and the left is not far behind with all the labor organizing th

It takes two years under normal circumstances; from what I understand backlogs for the lithography equipment are a huge bottleneck in the industry since there are only a few companies that make such specialized machines. They were already b

The big residential ISPs were some of the first to go IPv6. Consider the issue of how to issue management IP addresses to 30 million cable modems, plus an unknown number of “other” managed devices like set top boxes: the 10. space only has

This is actually the whole point the author is trying to make: if you enforce strict discipline on your kids, they never learn to do it themselves. Give them the space to be kids and don’t place your anxieties on them.

Because “other country bad!” is quite frequently used in media propaganda to distract attention from domestic issues. This is in no way unique to the US either.

Funny, many Europeans say the same about America. Not defending NK but the situation has persisted because nobody wants to deal with the flood of refugees a collapsed regime would create. I wouldn’t count on the situation resolving itself i
