kent_eh , to news in Secret Service notified as Trump aide brags about 'causing innocent people to be arrested'

Maybe not totally different. Both discussions are about self-righteous people being assholes to others.

kent_eh , to news in Secret Service notified as Trump aide brags about 'causing innocent people to be arrested'

Does the guilt lie with the police for the murder, or with the person that put him in the path of the cops?

Both is an acceptable (and accurate) answer.

Most situations aren’t entirely binary.

Penguin therapy for the win

kent_eh , to news in Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’

Gaza should not be nuked.

I’ll even be so bold as to say nobody should be nuked.

kent_eh , to technology in Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico

If I can do my job entirely from the comfort of my own living room, there’s nothing that would prevent the company from hiring someone to do my job from the comfort of their own living room, in India or the Philippines."

That’s one of the reasons I went into a field of technology where the work is mostly hands-on.

Hardware maintenence, troubleshooting, installation and repair isn’t something that can effectively be done remotely.

kent_eh , (edited ) to technology in Google lays off hundreds of 'Core' employees, moves some positions to India and Mexico

Google is laying off more employees and hiring for their roles outside of the U.S.

That is the double edge sword of remote work: if your job can be done from anywhere, it can be done by someone else in another country where wages are lower.

kent_eh , to news in Sam Bankman-Fried has a new currency to trade in prison: rice

He also said he did not do anything wrong and planned to appeal his conviction.

That’s a pretty common thing for people in prison to say.

kent_eh , to nostupidquestions in Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures?

“it’s tradition” isn’t much of an explanation

It’s not a moral answer, but it is an accurate answer.

kent_eh , to news in Trump-appointed judge halts Biden administration credit card late fee cap

If your happy with Biden you’ve given up.

Given that either Biden or Trump will be the president after the next election, voting for the obviously less harmful one is still a positive move.

Not voting only gives the votes of Trump’s insane clown cult more power.

Is actively being thwarted by Republicans at every turn.

Plus, things take time to happen, even under ideal circumstances.

kent_eh , to world in A Ukrainian sport plane drone just flew 800 miles (1300 km) into Russia to blow up an oil refinery

It does also show Russia that Ukraine is capable of bypassing their defenses and successfully attacking infrastructure (or military installations/encampments) several hundred kilometers inside Russia.

And doing it multiple times.

kent_eh , to news in Donald Trump says he'll revoke Joe Biden's protections for trans people 'on day one'

It’s like half of the general population supports him, and the other half supports Biden.

Less than a quarter support Trump.

The bigger problem is that almost thalf of the population doesn’t vote at all.

kent_eh , to news in Donald Trump says he'll revoke Joe Biden's protections for trans people 'on day one'

The problem is that there isn’t a left to vote for

In the current American political spectrum, there isn’t really anything that most other countries would recognize as “left”.

But given the current binary reality, whatever the Democrats are is viewed as left of the GOP rightwingnuts.

kent_eh , to news in Donald Trump says he'll revoke Joe Biden's protections for trans people 'on day one'

Trump is only too happy to repeal that shit so fast. Not only that, but big boi Trump also has alluded to glassing Iran

I’m convinced that he really doesn’t care one way or another. He only cares about telling his base whatever he thinks will get them worked up.

He wants power, and will tell people whatever he thinks will cause them to give it to them.

kent_eh , to news in Donald Trump says he'll revoke Joe Biden's protections for trans people 'on day one'

whatever “monster of the week” they pick as an enemy

Right wing outrage farmers have been doing exactly that for my enture life.

D&D was the biggest evil ever, back in my teenage years.

And before that it was the Satanic Panic.

There’s always something they want us to be scared of.
