I mean, it’s clearly rage/engagement bait. Ever since Twitter added viewcounts in 2022/23 it’s all bullshit “hottakes” like this, and people fall for it every time.

How did we forget ye olde adage of “do not feed the trolls” within one generation?

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant the layoffs were related to replacing pandemic hires working from home with cheaper H1Bs willing to RTO/take cheaper salaries, since by then everyone was boostered up and ready for travel, and visa applicationswere actually being processed instead of “backlogged” (ignored) by Trump Admin 1.0.

Wasn’t this more related to the Trump era H1B limitations expiring under Biden around 2022? I may be misremembering the timeline since time after 2020 is fucked, but I swear I remember a greater uptick of H1B hires in tech around this time, as well as outsourcing teams to India.

I’m sorry to have to tell you this but cocaine isn’t a pharmaceutical, buddy 🥲

What if he’s a cook but he also has unmedicated ADHD

So my mom can call me because she’s lost, but doesn’t want to stop to check her Google maps because she’s in a “dangerous part of town” (downtown Seattle).

(My mum’s not a bigot btw, she just lived in a village of 1000 people until she was 29 and anywhere with more than 20 people at once makes her anxious. Costco trips also have her on alert like she’s part of Seal Team Six)

> In 1939, MS St. Louis carried Jewish German passengers fleeing the Nazi State to Cuba, where most were denied entry. The Canadian government under Prime Minister William Lyon MacKenzie King chose not to admit the passengers in Canada, and they returned to Europe.

Bro sent Jewish refugees back to Germany to die. Also notice the similar talking points about Jewish immigrants in the 1920/30s with the immigration talking points we’re hearing in Canada right now. Just a different minority group slotted in this time. Canadians need to wake the fuck up about who actually is responsible for the faults in our country for more than a century (it’s the people with money, regardless of ethnicity or religious affiliation.)

Also, fuck the telecom cartel. How the hell is my phone bill CAD$100/month in the most populous city in the country, you assholes.

It’s because the federal Liberals are slowly becoming the Harper Cons, and the federal Cons are now the Alberta Wildrose crazies.

We’re seeing our parties shift to the right in real time. I’m really hoping Avi Lewis can revitalize the federal NDP, and I’m not sure what’s going on with the Bloc under Blanchet but I hope they can rally as well as a center-left option for Quebec at least.

Is the NDP website incredibly slow to load for anyone else? Unexpected traffic?

Dawg if Marilyn Gladu becomes some sort of kingmaker in this current parliament I’m actually gonna crash out.

Oh wow, thank you for this thorough explanation, and basing it in human psychology no less. This was really interesting.

Edit: Forgot about the most useful aspect of astrology - it gives you an easy way to roughly remember upcoming birthdays.

Oh my god even better!

Ok, but can someone actually explain astrology charts to me? Every time I go to one of those websites they want my DOB, birth hospital, mother’s full legal name, and social insurance number before spitting on me and saying that “a dirty Fire sign deserves nothing”.

Oh wait, that might just have been Vriska.
