Interesting that nearly all the press in the thumbnail are holding phones. Or maybe I've just never seen people surrounded by press this decade.

"Immigration" has never been under threat from any party. Donors on both sides need immigration to continue. The difference is one party generally likes to keep immigrants in exceptionally precarious conditions to coerce them to accept low wages. The other party makes token changes that appear raise the immigrant standard of living to something approximating the lower class with limited efficacy.

I'm continually astonished how I thought grunt-work IT jobs would fade away as my generation and younger aged into the workforce becoming ever more technologically literate. Then the iPhone my rich friends bought in highschool became the new standard for interfaces.

Now I'm helping people several years younger and much older than me navigate the machines they use for their jobs.

All this because Capcom heard that a Street Fighter tournament participant was using a nude mod for Chun-Li. Just blacklist him and move on, let me keep my flashlight lasers on dropped materials in MH:W please.

It's astounding that modern management is all just metrics. Here are your target numbers, we don't know how you will hit them and it's easier for us if we don't know; if you can't hit your targets we will fire you for underperforming and will do the same until we hire our divine sociopath that will achieve our metrics by any means necessary.

Yeah potentially they're a confused internationalist at their core.

Yeah but if you were in this position would really want to contribute again? It's virtually an indefinite ban when the reason is this absurd.
