While I do think the rich need much more consistent and aggressive punishments for their crimes… I am still not a fan of the state killing people. Especially when they themselves are often corrupt.

What’s to say they just want to do something like this to insert their nephew as new head of said bank etc?

Only if they’re female. If a male cop did it he’d get promoted

Dad seems like a real G. Stood up for his daughter, and showed empathy and understanding towards the kid instead of a lust for vengeance

This art style uncomfortably reminds me of that nazi who’s named after hard gray things

I was going to say, when it comes to Ukraine, this orange fuck flip flops more than the footwear with the same name

Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.

If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.

In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again

A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience

I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.

At least most of the engineers I’ve worked with have had similar stories from their past

I feel like it should be similar to the whole yelling fake fire in a crowded theater thing. Don’t people get in serious trouble for that.

I mean what he’s doing is much worse. And yes, he is inciting violence

I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.

Then one day she did a “capitalism is actually great” video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.

I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.

I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I’d just stopped watching and written her off as the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.

So yeah, fuck her

I was gonna say, this was something they already tried in his first term during covid.

The lack of serious backlash, outrage, or even general coverage of the insanity and facism that’s coming out of the current administration by the media is pretty concerning.

It feels like everyone is just running with it, and I have a hard time beleiving that many people are OK with all of this.

Also trying to turn the question racist. Responding with “including gang violence” is some, not so subtle, dog whistling “blame minorities”

And the same people who always say “it’s too soon to talk about it” and “let’s not make it political” whenever someone brings up gun control after a school shooting.

Personally, I think they are scared. They took the mask off too far with all of their extreme right wing rhetoric and were probably surprised themselves at his little push back they received. Feeling emboldend they kept pushing.

All of a sudden they realise there might be, the most extreme, consequences from the positions they’ve publicly espoused, and they can’t just walk it back. So they’re panicking.

That, or it’s a conspiracy and one of them did it to give themselves permission to go full fascist.

“Likely won’t survive”… My dude was dead within seconds.

They didn’t complain, or at least loud enough for me to hear, when he banned some gun accessories on his last term. Was it bump stocks or something?

None of his base did, despite losing their shit about Obama and Joe “going to do it”, even though they didn’t

“not just the man Europe… But the woman and child Europe too.”

I haven’t seen what any evidence might be yet, but don’t forget that every time some nazi fuck does a shooting, the right immediately and confidently declare its someone they don’t like, with zero, or flimsy af evidence

Yeah, when I saw “the cops tased him” and not “murdered the shit out of him”, it was clear he was white.

I mean, sort of?

It’s much more likely to be indicative of a mental health issue, even if it’s just anxiety. Insecurity around how one looks it’s usually related to unrealistic societal pressures and bullshit public “standards” as to what qualifies as beautiful.

This usually occurs to women much worse than men and is often directly tied to their “value”.

It’s easy to see someone fuck their shit up with plastic surgery and go “haha, that’s your choice”, but, in general, our modern western society is hyper individualistic, where people’s difficulties are said to be personal failings. Whereas as a socially evolved species, it’s much more tied to our peers and culture than people either realise, or want to admit.

Plus it’s easier to ignore these things when you don’t like the person at the center of the current discussion

Hold up… Some republicans stood up to trump/didn’t vote party lines? That’s surprising!

Information… And people.

A lot of people that voted for Trump probably wouldn’t actually want what he actually brought to the table, but through decades of neo-lib propaganda and ignorance to non economical issues and general right wing media extreme bias thought it was “the right choice”
