When is Israel going to release the thousands of Palestinian hostages they have in “administrative detention” that have not been accused of any crimes? hrw.org/…/why-does-israel-have-so-many-palestinia…

I’ve had my 502 at home for something like 6 years IIRC. Immediately bought one for work. Great mice, no issues.

As someone in the US, 40 hours per week is the minimum. Recognition for “being a hard worker” has required 60+ hours at some places I’ve worked. This is for a fixed salary and no overtime pay, mind you. Then you’re usually on an on call rotation every few weeks where you may have to work off-hours if something comes up. That’s additional unpaid hours. My current company pays $80,000 USD for new college grad software developers.

US holidays are 8-10 days, and junior devs usually start with 5-10 days of vacation. Health insurance costs at least several hundred a month (your employer also pays about 3x more than you towards your insurance premium as a benefit).

Woah, dial it it back a bit. We’re not talking about racial discrimination or violence. OP said people were talking behind their backs and provided no additional details. If you file a HR complaint just because you saw someone whispering while looking at you, you’re 100% a narc. If you file a racial discrimination lawsuit because you’re a minority and the company isn’t firing people you don’t like, you’re the worst kind of person. If there’s more to the story, OP didn’t share it.

HR exists to protect the company. When you raise a problem to them, you are the one responsible for the problem being put on record. This means you are the problem. Even if you go to HR and they do something about it, you still lose because your coworkers will steer clear of you for being a narc and any chance at a career is pretty much gone. Either work the problem out with your coworkers yourself, ignore it and keep your head down, or find a new job.

The pope did not read the full address, instead delegating the task to Monsignor Filippo Ciampanelli. “I still have a cold and it’s tiring to read for a while,” the pope said to the participants assembled at the Vatican.

Where’s your god now? Can’t even give his #1 on earth the strength to mumble his message of hate. Fucking losers.

Did YOU read the article?

No official death toll is yet available; nevertheless, local reports say anywhere between 80 and 200 Gazans were killed during the latest Israeli massacre.

I had forgotten what she was fired for and was taking her side in the headline right up till it said “with the help of Elon Musk.” Then I knew she had to have done something really dumb. COVID misinformation is no joke kids. Not even once.

AstridWipenaugh , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to worldnews in 'Stop Humanitarian Aid with Your Bodies' - Israelis Prevent Trucks from Entering Gaza

There you go. Dehumanizing Palestinian people. Claiming you don’t mean all of them doesn’t make a bit of difference. There are lots of really horrific people, but they’re still human beings and we must not forget that. Using your language to claim otherwise is how this genocide is being allowed to happen. You’re literally using Nazi language. You’re disgusting.

AstridWipenaugh , 5 months ago to worldnews in 'Stop Humanitarian Aid with Your Bodies' - Israelis Prevent Trucks from Entering Gaza

I was referencing Israel’s official comment on the matter from the article. This is what you’re defending by supporting Israel in this situation:

On October 9, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip. “We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly,” Gallant said.

With 25,000+ lives taken by Israel, many of them women and children civilians, you can’t make the argument he’s not talking about treating civilians like animals.

Calling Palestinian civilians animals and refusing to allow them food and medical supplies isn’t going to improve the situation. What do you think is going to happen? Is Hamas going to say “oh guys, I think we made them mad this time. Better release the hostages so they don’t do anything violent!”?
