Seriously?!? You can hate people for who they are now, but to make statements like this is an attack on anyone who has experienced sexual abuse or trauma at an age where they themselves lacked the decision making faculties we'd expect from adults. It doesn't mean they are gay, or that they even really consented in a way where they felt in control. I really hate to see people act like this, especially those that have no idea what it is like to become sexualized at such a young age... usually triggered by an adult who started abusing a child.

 

Sass is a popular open-source CSS framework for building websites. It is commonly used in some of the most popular open source projects, like Next.js. It is one of the few open source projects that when developers navigate their website for docs or whatever, they see a banner at the top of the page that says "Free Palestine." It is a shame that more software projects are too scared to show their support for Palestine, or that are actually opposed to Palestine's existence.

I understand where you're coming from, but Democrats need progressives to win. If they leave Democrats, it will be Democrats that will follow them, not the other way around. I don't think trying to emulate MAGA is such a great idea. I know there are lessons that can be learned there, but I am still confident that a new party with popular progressives & populist policies would do more than trying to change a broken party from within.

What's the difference between a professional error & murder? Oh that's right the professional errors are forgotten about.

The same Democrats that barely won the previous election by telling people not to focus on them but Trump. Imagine funding the murder of kids, ignoring the housing crisis & then thinking you could just pull out the previous playbook with a dementia patient, then anointing Kamala Cheney at the last minute.

Truth there. I'm from a dark blue area yet city government here couldn't act any different than if I lived in a dark red state. In some ways I actually think they are worse. All they have to do is put D next to their name & the voters will support them regardless of their actions.

Lol, and this was the establishment Democrat response:

Hilarious that Carville claimed progressives have purity tests in the same breath

Its fine let them keep losing. I honestly don't care anymore. At some point progressives like Bernie, AOC, etc. will finally wake up & realize they don't need Democrats to win. You want to see people passionate about voting again then it is time to leave the establishment behind. Anyone remember Bernie's crowds in 2016? It was obvious he was may more popular than Clinton having to pay Beyonce & Jay Z for people to show up at her events.

Yes & no. Sadly case precedent in matters like this typically favor law enforcement & prosecutors for multiple reasons. One of them being where they argue if they make the ruling retroactive, then thousands of convicts where they used similar evidence would also be eligible for appeals or dismissal. Another more messed up reason is that if evidence is obtained illegally, if it still "proves" a defendant is guilty, the courts have came up with certain exceptions where it can still be used.

It's always "think of the children" to these miserable control freaks. They'd force kids into a dungeon if they had their say in it.

I see you complaining about this being Kremlin propaganda... how'd you feel if Meta had hundreds of Russian Armed Forces employees?

I know. But now that he's been sent there around other criminals with these agreements, he could have been exposed to knowledge of them. Trump doesn't want people to know that he's sending some of these MS-13 members there with agreements to be let go since they are helping the government there cover up their corruption.

So they don't want to bring this man back because he could now have info on these secret agreements which Trump would have known about when he decided to prevent investigations against the criminals in the US. Actually starting to make a lot more sense now. If they do end up bringing him back, they'll make sure he knows he better not say anything.

 

Trump is bad. I agree... but why is the left suddenly all sympathetic towards rich people & CEOs like this, who exploit cheap labor.

 

This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information.

Robust disaster recovery plans, including automated processes to remotely reboot and remediate thousands of machines, aren't revolutionary. They're basic hygiene, especially when considering the potential consequences of a breach. Yet, this incident highlights a systemic failure across many organizations. While CrowdStrike erred, the real culprit is a culture of shortcuts and misplaced priorities within corporate IT.

Too often, companies throw millions at vendor contracts, lured by flashy promises and neglecting the due diligence necessary to ensure those solutions truly fit their needs. This is exacerbated by a corporate culture where CEOs, vice presidents, and managers are often more easily swayed by vendor kickbacks, gifts, and lavish trips than by investing in innovative ideas with measurable outcomes.

This misguided approach not only results in bloated IT budgets but also leaves companies vulnerable to precisely the kind of disruptions caused by the CrowdStrike incident. When decision-makers prioritize personal gain over the long-term health and security of their IT infrastructure, it's ultimately the customers and their data that suffer.
