Ugh "parents should do better parenting" is such neo lib individualist bullshit

Mistakes as well as "mistakes".

Yes it is flawed, but it was basically "give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don't participate". If they don't participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.

Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.

I'm not saying people shouldn't expect, or push for, better, and I'm not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they're useless/do nothing quite often.

Walking out won't ultimately achieve much... But it's at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.

Actually it has some factual basis. He's wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he's the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.

Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it's a long established one with lots of staff, they've probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.

If it's a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.

In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said "never again", so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn't happen again

A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience

I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.

At least most of the engineers I've worked with have had similar stories from their past

I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.

Then one day she did a "capitalism is actually great" video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.

I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.

I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I'd just stopped watching and written her off as the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.

So yeah, fuck her

The shocking amount of people in these situations who are like "but I don't blame Trump".

One even said it was bidens fault, for not reminding them to complete their citizenship.

The amount of rational disconnect these people have is astounding and should be studied.

The US government loooves to kill unarmed kids

I live in a country (not US) that has been isolated from many countries for millions of years and had many invasive species introduced by humans in the past few hundred.

These invasive species have devastated local/native wildlife and grown to ridiculous levels. If humans did nothing to stop them, including hunting them, they would completely take over and extinct many more species than they already have, reducing diversity.

Not stopping them, again which includes hunting and trapping, would be amoral and worse for the planet

Reminds me of that joke

  • "omg I was fired because of my political beleifs"
  • "oh no, what beleifs?"
  • "right wing"
  • "like lowering taxes? Reducing the deficit? Family values?"
  • "no...."
  • "which ones?"
  • "you know which ones...."
