2nd largest nazi rally was in the US and the nazis got their ideas for eugenics from the US. Nazis and America have closer relations than you might think
Fascism, and the nazis in particular, have an unfortunately long history in the US. Besides, these morons are probably more concerned about Americans killing Americans in the civil war. Which they’d definitely say was about “state’s rights.”
I promise I’m fun at parties, but you’re a decade late to that request. Again, I’m not defending Totally A Human Ted Cruz, just pointing out the facts.
I’m surprised share holders of a lot of big companies aren’t demanding WFH. Office space is one of the larger chunks of overhead for a company (not just the space but utilities, supplies, maintenance/cleaning).
My guess is as leases are coming to an end that companies will definitely think twice before signing when WFH is an option.
My current job has us in the office a few days every 6-8 weeks and if it went to anymore than that the majority of the team I’m on would quit. It’s pretty easy to find work right now with unemployment below 4%
Because office space ‘overhead’ was solved for decades ago. The same shareholders of a company own shares in at least a dozen commercial real estate companies. Their bottom line goes up when a company rents or owns commercial property. It doesn’t matter if ProductionCo loses 10% revenue a year, RealEstateCo gets at least that much plus all more if they own the surrounding buildings all the restaurants are in that support the office.
Capitalism, contrary to popular belief, does not optimize for economic efficiency, just profit; and as it turns out profit has little to do with efficiency if you zoom out of any one particular company.
This. The office, the restaurants, the gym, the local stores? They’re all owned by the same capitalists, and they want you spending your paycheck there. This is about converting the limited hours of your life into wealth for the rent-seeking bourgeousie: it’s still the same company store. It just has a different name.
We got bought out by a holding corp and none of their holdings are real estate. All tech. We have been 100% wfh and a bit back they closed down the smaller offices but now they are dropping most all of them. Even the main office is being shuttered but they said with that one they are looking for a smaller space but at least for awhile I believe we will have no US offices.
It is 100% the fault of educators. Actual mathematicians have derided the abysmal state of math education for literal decades. But they don’t get to decide how we “educate” children. US educators unabashedly focus exclusively on testing for funding. They don’t give a rats ass if you know the simplest amount of trivial math—they do really really care if you pass a bizarrely arbitrary arithmetic test though. Why do think those mini-viral bullshit PEMDAS/BEMDAS memes track on Reddit. It’s deranged math students that think an order of operations is actually used in real math (real shock: they aren’t, mathematics doesn’t have an order of operations).
What?! You mean to tell me Elon Musk doesn’t value human lives at all? Are you suggesting he accepts payments by governments to hand over user data that gets innocent people tortured to death? Are you saying he’s some kind of vile, sub-human conservative piece of shit?! Say it ain’t so!
I know we all love to shit on Elon, but read the article:
Lawyers for Al-Sadhan updated their claim last week to include new allegations about how Twitter, under the leadership of then-chief executive Jack Dorsey, willfully ignored or had knowledge of the Saudi government’s campaign to ferret out critics
This looks to have taken place when Jack was still in charge there. Not that Elon hasn’t spent every waking hour since the buyout proving himself to be terrible, but it’s useful to remember that just because the current guy is really bad doesn’t retroactively make the guy before him good.
I made this argument back when the first mandates were happening. I don’t recall any major uproar about seat belts yet for some reason it’s a big deal when we do the same thing for masks.
The craziest part of it is to me is that seat belts basically only affect the person wearing it, but masks affect both the person wearing it and the people around them. So if anything it makes more sense for masks to be mandated over seat belts.
And not just seat belts, we already mandate clothing in the form of public exposure/indecency laws. And that doesn’t even have any tangible effect on anything. Technically we could all be running around naked but I don’t see any uproar about that either. I can at least somewhat understand wanting freedom and/or autonomy but the people complaining aren’t even consistent about it.
Oh it was the same uproar (it’s uncomfortable, it will harm me, we’ve never had to do this before, I can’t breathe, my religion says I shouldn’t, etc.) but at least that was a bit more in face about saving your life.
There was absolutely an “uproar,” against seatbelts when they were mandated.
It wasn’t able to get the same level of traction because you didn’t have social media echo chambers or the president and other influential “leadership” shitting all over the idea of mandates.
When I brought up seatbelts to anti maskers they usually told me they didn’t think the government should be allowed to tell them to wear a seatbelt either. These people are idiots who will fight against self preservation on principle, bless their hearts.
I heard from someone who went on another forum. He said it was a blast.
It was super nerdy but legitimately inspirational. We all got dice! Brennan Lee Mulligan DM’d an encounter for hundreds at people at the same time! We slew the five-headed AMPTP dragon! A good time for all.
Similar memorials have also generated outcry in Canada. Jared McBride, a UCLA historian of Eastern Europe, said that within the Ukrainian diaspora, many believe that the soldiers allied with the Nazis with noble intentions.
But it is a view that he said scholars view widely as historical revisionism.
“The Nazi regime was a genocidal regime,” McBride said. “This idea of parsing these things out — that ‘We were the good SS division,’ or ‘The good police unit,’ or ‘The good mobile death battalion’ — is not the strongest of arguments.”
John-Paul Himka, a retired history professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and an expert on Ukrainian history, said SS Galizien had “very little to do with the Holocaust” since it was not formed until 1943 and first saw combat the following year. But, Himka said, the unit was also tied to other war crimes during World War II.
“Galizien fought with the Germans against the Soviets; it helped suppress the Slovak uprising; it was involved in atrocities against Poles and Slovaks; it welcomed into its ranks many perpetrators of the ethnic cleansing against the Polish population and of the Holocaust; it propagated antisemitism and seems to have been involved in a roundup of Jews in Brody in 1944,” Himka said by email. “I cannot accept the notion that they were ‘freedom fighters.’”
Spreading lies and accusing people without any reason doesnt get you really far in real life. I feel sorry for you being so angry over your own imagination.
