I'm Canadian and I don't want Americans to suffer. But the US has shitty politicians in power that force me between making a choice between people in my own country eating shit or the US eating shit, and the choice is obvious.
The far left and far right are using the same tactics, just different targets for their hate politics.
Hopefully Americans see through the bullshit of the radicals (both left and right) that make them hate certain people in their own country and people in certain other countries (again, the targets vary but the tactics are the same). But it seems there's not much anyone outside of the US can do until that happens.
Yeah if I were on that jury, it would be jury nullification all the way. Can't have the government killing a guy for political reasons, and that's what this is.
Wait, I thought the Jews ran Hollywood and controlled all of the media? How is it possible a movie like this exists?
It's not about a sovereign EU, it's about government controlling the media. There is too much temptation for a politician to use that control to make the media say only good things about them and negative things about the opposition. See Russia for an example of how bad that can get.
Are all of the newspapers controlled by the EU? Do you think it would be better if they were.
Anyway, yeah I'm talking about social media. The primary problem of social media is that it's an oligopoly. Create regulation so people can have choice without being cut of from their friends that are on a shitty platform and people will leave to be on better platforms and companies will have to compete to provide a better product.
Very few people actually like Facebook and Twitter, they just can't leave because they wouldn't be able to communicate with their friends and family if they did. And their friends and family can't leave for the same reason. What if you could go to a Friendica site and still be able to chat with your friends that are still on Facebook and they could see your posts you make and vice versa? How many people would stay on Facebook if there was no longer a barrier to leaving? How many people would put up with Elon Musk's antics on twitter if they could leave and still communicate with the people they like that are still on Twitter?
If there was no major barrier to leaving these sites, they'd have to compete to provide quality moderation, make it easy to find the things you like, improve algorithms so they aren't shoving shit you don't care about into your face, etc. Having a single government entity doing this wouldn't provide this and the site would probably just be constant bickering about what the government should and should not allow on social media.
Yeah I know about TV licenses, but aren't they incredibly unpopular? And a government could eliminate them and replace them with subsidies (which gives them influence) and many voters might agree with that given the unpopularity of TV licenses.
Yeah, you just have to know yourself. Personally I feel like I need to go into the office once per week otherwise work starts becoming an abstract thing. But I've known some co-workers I wouldn't see for months at a time that were really on the ball. Ask an obscure question about something really technical on slack and get an answer within seconds kind of thing. I knew another guy that said he had to come into the office every day because his family was too distracting.
Everyone needs to know what works for them and be a responsible professional about it.
And yeah managers that want 100% RTO are just admitting they can't handle working from home. Ok that's your thing, but it's not a thing for everyone else.
Anyway I got out the the RTO thing because I told them of the times some computers were having issues and I had to work the whole weekend (from home) to fix them. If I'm going to be 100% RTO then I'm 0% WFH and the next time something like that happens I won't be able to start working on it until 9am on Monday morning. So I'm still in the office one day per week, weather permitting, which is my preference.
Yes it's also serves as a litmus test to determine whether or not someone has any real problems in their life.
If you're upset at the PM about policies, there might be a real issue. If you're upset at the King because of symbolism, you don't have any real problems.
A little while, but I redirected the those that mattered and just bounced the rest.
