Fuck Gates, he is responsible for many heinous things, most recently encouraging pharma companies to patent covid vaccines, which has denied access to the global population, which then encourages mutations.

I don’t care what he is saying whether it’s good or not there are better people worth listening to on the subject. Billionaires are not the answer to the world’s problems, they are the cause of them.

How to fix Korea's birthrate? Put girls in school earlier, controversial report argues (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com)

“Notably, Chang’s report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and...

It can’t possibly be the crushing weight of capitalism that is impacting young people’s lifestyles.

No pass granted. Amazon is currently hiring their anti-union lawyers as direct warehouse managers to fight the unionization efforts at KCVG Airhub. There is no excuse in 2024 to take a gig from this company and not understand who you are getting in bed with.

Support KCVGs union effort! They are the companies largest airhub and function as a critical choke point in their supply lines. A union win would be a huge success for unionization across all warehouses at Amazon.

Sunforged ,

I don’t care if he does or does not, the point is Amazon’s ruthless exploitation of the working class is not an unknown fact.

Ignorance is not an excuse.

Sunforged ,

Idk what point you’re trying to make. Are you saying we need to make signs for how Amazon abuses it’s employees?

Sunforged ,

Yes dude, piss bottles in the warehouse are a meme at this point. Working conditions in the warehouses have been making headlines since people died due to overheating way back in 2013.

Sunforged ,

Were you yourself ignorant to this?

Ok bud.

There is no value considered in providing stable income to the team members. No value considered in artists honing their craft. Even if the games only had marginal profits in and of themselves, considering the cost of big budget games, there is still huge value in creating and maintaining a large IP.

I fucking hate everything about this.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

FDR was not a socialist and the New Deal was a compromise from the existing capitalist power structure in order to harness and then diffuse the growing socialist energy in the country. It’s a huge reason the New Deal focused so much on highway expansion instead of public transportation.

non-walkable city.

If the city is built ass backwards it would be a better investment to address that than start mining resources on the moon. Idk that’s just me though.

They’ve been indiscriminately killing Palestinians long before October.

Hamas isn’t even in the West Bank yet Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered there in 2022, while clearly marked as a journalist. There are so many incidents I could pull up as examples of indiscriminate killings but your ignorance is not worth my time.

American policy regarding Isreal is bipartisan stop shifting the blame and own up.

Sunforged ,

It’s not because he personally wants to, go check what he’s on the record as saying his entire career. This isn’t something to applaud, this is him trying to avoid political blowback. You think we should stop applying pressure because of a single descision?

Sunforged , (edited )

Hard to celebrate anything with so much money stolen from the American people and so many Palestinians dead.

This is shameful and the fact that Trump is worse is no excuse, raise your expectations. There are ongoing protests being violently repressed and all Biden has to say about it is “law and order”, wake up.

Sunforged ,

The government is changing their tune, as intended … You argue until the other side is convinced, which we are in the middle of doing and succeeding at.

You sure about that?

Sunforged ,

How about that 1 billion weapons package Biden is pushing now? How is that red line he had working out?

Sunforged ,

Oh there is no other option, but that wasn’t my point. Republicans extremism allows the Democrats to continue to fail the American people in a ratchet effect. It’s a slow slide into Fascism instead of a fast one. Isreal has been killing the Palestinian people and forcing them to seek asylum since the country’s inception. Weapons to Isreal are weapons to kill the native population, it’s what colonizers do.

Allowing lip service to pacify the publics awareness only plays into their favor. That is my point. Don’t make excuses for them.

No that’s the opposite of what I am saying. Material impact is what matters, I don’t give a fuck what words are said.

Reminds me of CHOP/CHAZ here in Seattle and how poorly that was reported on. Cops were bold face lying and it was being reported as fact immediately.

Buying a house was what pushed me from Bernie flavored socialist to full on leftist. We were lucky enough to find and qualify for a community land trust and it is such a better system than anything else in America. It should just be how housing is done available to everyone, not just people who qualify.

Do you need any help organizing your co-workers to put up a fight for the next contract?

Iran launches drone attack against Israel as Biden rushes to White House (www.theguardian.com)

The religious extremism that became Hamas was funded and grew to power with Israeli funding.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Listen to former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)

The US just tried to negotiate with Houthis over the attacks in the Red Sea, an omission admission that things aren’t going so well. Iran is in a stronger position than Houthis, I think your over estimating the US right now.

Dan Koh, deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, said the administration wants “to make sure we’re as accessible as possible.” “We understand that some people do not want to engage. We respect that,” he said. “But we think that the people who have engaged have felt that it was a fruitful discussion.”

“Why isn’t our good good words convincing people?!”

Canadian radio laws force a certain percentage of airplay go to Canadian artists. This thread just proves that it’s doing it’s job! I lived 15 minutes away from the boarder back in high-school and Canadian radio was a blessing compared to what was on the dial locally.

Blue Scholars and Common Market were such a huge presence in Seattle if you were in your 20s in the around 2005-2010. Both bands had DJ/producer Sabzi and he was just straight fire, with talented intelligent MCs flowing over the beats, MC Geologic in Blue Scholars and MC RA Scion in Common Market. Both sounds were diametrically opposed to the shallow vapid hip hop that was popular at the time, and I had thought it was inevitable that they were going to break out big and put Seattle on the map for something other than grunge.

Stoked that a studio with major credit switched from Unity to Gadot. This will be the biggest release the game engine has seen and is sure to break every record. Hopefully it will make other studios seriously consider the engine and in 5 or 6 years Gadot will be the equivalent to Blender.

Biden broke a rail strike that was largely about both pay and worker safety in 2022. East Palestine happened 3 months later and if you don’t understand the connection I don’t know what to tell you.

Sunforged , (edited )

That’s exactly what should happen. I don’t know why you think supporting Biden would get us that outcome though.

as you seem oddly focused on Biden.

You asked me to be specific, and then said I was oddly focused on him? Both parties are failing the people of East Palestine, my original point is its disingenuous to blame the victims when who they voted for wouldn’t have changed their situation.

Sunforged ,

Actions over words, everytime.

Biden didn’t even push the EPA to declare an emergency in East Palestine to help get residents Medicare coverage. He is on the side of the rail owners even if he likes to say he’s pro labor. How can you push him if you’re unwilling to acknowledge this?

Sunforged , (edited )

You’re getting your emergencies mixed up. Yes for a FEMA emergency a request must be made by the governor, an FDA public health emergency is not the same and is at the sole discretion of the FDA. Easy to mix up, but you misunderstood me, this is also covered in the article.

Sunforged ,

What gets lost in media spin is Biden has just as much power to force the rail companies to accept terms of the union memebers as he did to shut down a strike.

It was also only after East Palestine threw mud on his face that his administration really hustled to get the meager contract they got. Compair the 4 days of sick leave Biden and Union leaders called a huge win for rail workers to Seattle’s city wide 1 hour of sick leave earned for every 30 hours worked that Socialist Kashama Sawant pushed democrats on city council to the left on in 2012.
