Have you ever considered working in Higher Ed? We’ve got tech jobs. The pay could be better but the working conditions and benefits are generally good. Layoffs are rare, and layoffs in IT are basically unheard of.

…want to accomplish things that improve the lives of people other than shareholders…
Have you looked into jobs in higher education?
The pay could be better, but it’s not horrible. The benefits and working conditions are generally good. In my many years, I’ve never said ‘wow, that’s unethical’. Worst I’ve had is having to explain how certain policies, which sound good on the surface, are not equitable to all students in all social-economical situations and need to be revised.
Marketing, Communication, and Outreach are totally jobs in higher ed, and you’re not trying to trick someone into buying crap: https://www.higheredjobs.com/admin/search.cfm?JobCat=37&StartRow=-1&SortBy=4&NumJobs=25&filterby=&CatType=
Maybe giving equal training weight to r/sovereigncitizen and r/asklegal wasn’t the best idea.
If I have a gun but the government doesn’t care, am I not exercising my 2a rights?
No, you are not.
You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in owning or procuring a gun.
It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your ability to own a gun, you therefor have a “right to own a gun”. For example, if you do not own a gun, and everyone who does own a gun doesn’t want to give/sell you a gun, your 2a rights were not violated.

Putting up a lost cat flyer, and having some random person yell at you for it is not exercising the “right to free speech” (for either party).
You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in speech/expression.
It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your speech/expression, you therefor have a right to speech/expression in all contexts. For example, if you want to go on a rant about your personal beliefs, the government unduly burdened you. However this will not stop the owner of the grocery store from calling the cops to have you trespassed for bothering all of the customers.
It says a lot about the site when I’m immediately prompted to “ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE”… Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!
This isn’t news, it’s fear mongering propaganda. There’s PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.
Vasectomy like 10 years ago. Kids are expensive.
The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element.
Importantly, the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted - not randomly – because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention (which excludes political groups, for example). This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, and not its members as individuals. Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable (including within a geographically limited area) and “substantial.”

Colloquially, it’s genocide, but legally it does not appear to be. And that’s a problem if you’re trying to charge Israel with genocide in a court of law. Inevitably it’s going to be found to not be genocide and that’s one more thing Israel can point to. Crimes against humanity would probably been a better route.
It’s going to be hard, if not impossible to show in court that Israel, as a policy, is deliberately targeting Palestinians. Showing Isael’s actions is resulting in shit tons of civilian casualties seems pretty easy. Maybe there’s super secret documents that show it’s a deliberate act, but I highly doubt they’d be that dumb if genocide is their intention.
I’m not sure. If we were too, I think we should have at least $10k saved up. But even then I’m not sure if we really should be. I wonder if it will reduce the number of donations. I’m not sure if everyone donating would be OK with their donations being redirected somewhere else, especially if the charity is seen as controversial by the donor.
I think a possible work around would be to donate to the maintainers of the software we use. That shouldn’t be controversial. (but someone will probably find a way to be offended by that…)
If we do, well defined rules are a must. Like how we determine how much to donate every month, and to who.
Side note: The money is invested and earning interest, right? It’s not hard to get 5% right now and that’s a few hundred bucks a year.
Fun Fact: The more advertisers that pull out because they appear next to nazi shit increases the likelihood the remaining advertisers will appear next to nazi shit.
Freetube pointing to a local instance of Invidious.
Best $500 I ever spent. Well, $504.99. The frozen peas were $4.99.
I was referring to YT sometimes hiding videos from the feed of new content. For example when GDQ adds 30 videos in a day, YT will simply ignore them and not list them unless I go directly to their channel’s page. with FreeTube, it’s just a linear list of videos by published date, and it shows you which you’ve watched too.
To your point, yes, you can’t open a new tab, but since everything is listed in order and marked, it’s way easier than using tabs.
I haven’t found a downside, honestly it works better than youtube. I get a list of all new content on the channels I subscribe to, not just what the youtube algorithm wants me to see.
Like shipping containers, or cardboard boxes of bullets?
Mr. just inject bleach in your veins got snubbed again for the Nobel Prize…
That’s why I went with them. Good thing I only have a few so far and can put a pause on buying more until this shakes out.
It makes it much easier for it to stay in place. Mainly from the spinning, but if your food explodes a damp towel stays put way easier than a dry one.
While true, we do have way more going on that password resets. We’ve got DBAs, software devs, Devops.
