Just so we are clear, Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor and we eventually nuked them killing 250k. Was that an international war crime? Al Qaeda attacked us and killed 3000 Americans and in response we killed about 200k Afghanis. Was that

I think that's the thing, so many friends are situational friends. Wife had a couple she made us hang out with because our sons were friends. Suddenly sons aren't friends anymore so we no longer hang out. Not mad at them, totally

This is my main concern. At 46 i’m in excellent physical condition, do well financially and am incredibly lucky to have the wife and kids that I do. I really want to live for another 200 years. I just have absolutely zero friends or interac

You're right it does not say it, I based my statement on what Lutnick said in the office. Looks like the 150k number is from a senate bill that has not passed yet https://www.newsweek.com/h-1b-visa-change-proposal-21324

I disagree, why would they then not just hire the H1B at 50k and pay a 25K fee. 100k flat annual fee plus the new minimum 150k salary returns the H1B program to its original purpose of allowing US companies to hire truly exceptional foreign

My hope is that this unleashes American tech workers and the US market again. There is almost no reason to apply for H1B anymore except for the original purpose of hiring workers with very unique skill sets that cannot be found in the US. T

annual cost and they raised the minimum pay to 150k so now its a minimum of 250k to hire an h1B. Or they can hire a new american grad, pay them 80k and train them

Lets Go!!! Raised the minimum salary to $150k. The 100k application fee is per person per year. Meaning now companies can either hire an American new grad for 100k a year or pay 250k a year to import someone. It also still allows companies

I guess I really don't understand LA house pricing. I see shacks listed for a million, or is that only SF? This is 2.3 acres with 3 homes on it and its 15 million. Although looks like it needs some work.

Salary wise, we are in a race to the bottom. Massive outsourcing of jobs to India and similar where wages are much lower than comparable US employees coupled with Ai replacing entry level roles. On a longer time scale you have humanoid robo

I really enjoyed the Culture novels but my takeaway was similar to OP's. The citizens are essentially pets that the Minds really like and take care of. They have almost no real agency though besides what the Minds will humor. The Cultu

I am going to be downvoted for this but I am not wrong. The thing most mass transportation advocates need to understand when it comes to the US is that we don't want cars necessarily for convenience, we want them to be able to avoid ot

Depends on the interruption. Someone just messages “hi” and then waits for me to respond is going to take a while to recover from due to the massive level of frustration I get from it and the wasted pleasantries just to find out what they w

Blue Sky has far more moderation. Unfortunately some of that includes limiting political view points. I always looked at BlueSky as reddit lite from that perspective. Their "respect others" rule appears to primarily apply to prote

There has to be nuance. If a community has shared areas then there has to be an organization to maintain and service them and that org. requires funding. This is especially true with Condo style communities. To attempt to shut that manageme

Biggest issue here is the lack of clarity. I truly don't know if there is an issue with the pistol and as such I simply wont buy a Sig. The risk just isn't worth it. This is devastating for the Sig brand whether there is an issue

Twitter allows you to post free length messages but you have to be a paid member. Which is also how they solved some of their monetization issues.

I’ve always been against suicide as a solution for desperation, for example, people who feel trapped or don’t like how their life turned out. I’ve always felt that at that point in time you are truly free. abandon everything and go live a n
