It will be interesting to see what the Border Patrol union does. It seems as though they are on Texas' side...

From NBPC Twitter Friday, 1/26:

Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders.

That's fake news. TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.

TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed.

Rank-and-file BP agents appreciate and respect what TX has been doing to defend their state in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

We want to be perfectly clear, there is no fight between rank-and-file BP agents and the TX NG, Gov. Abott, or TX DPS. It may make flashy headlines, but it simply isn't true.

in the midst of this catastrophe that the Biden Admin has unleashed on America.

That almost sounds like they would strike instead

Imagine being in a corporate environment trying to implement an OSS into your platform and having to tell your 50 yo teammate: "Oh yeah, just pop in this Discord server real quick to see any relevant info". Instant credibility loss

10 kg gold Dec. 2023 = ~$727,591 = $2062.92 * 10 * 35.27 oz/kilo

10 kg gold June 1920 = ~$105,810 = ~$300 * 10 * 35.27 oz/kilo

seems much higher than the respective housing cost for an average home in both cases

Friendly reminder that if your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is less than $79,000 you can already do "Guided Tax Filing" for free. If your AGI is more than $79k, you can still do your taxes for free, but have to do them completely manually which is generally considered risky if you don't know what you're doing.

Yeah this sounds more accurate. I was under the impression the court keeps it in escrow as a mediator, which is exactly what that sounds like.

Totally. This semi-reminds me of the story that was floating around yesterday (I think), about Arby's Foundation wiping out student lunch debt for 8000 student in Georgia. Like, yes, that's great, but also... how fucking sad we leave it to the "goodness" of billionaire's charities so that checks notes* CHILDREN CAN BE FED?? Sad state of affairs

It seems to me, anecdotally, that women with a more masculine temperament prefer men with a more feminine temperament, and vice versa.

In democratic/liberal societies you solve your differences via debate

We have too little of this in our current society, I feel like. "Debates" are often just screaming matches and it's really annoying and holds back progress on all ends I fell like.

Also I wasn't vouching for being an asshole, just pointing out it's not illegal XD

The situation is not under control, which is why it is gaining bipartisan support. Lying and saying they are lying just makes you the baddie... Like what?

Trick question, they have been the whole time, look it up

Freedom of speech absolutely results in the right for me to insult people...?

Is it rude? Maybe.

Is it illegal? Absolutely not

Equality != Equity

There is a big difference in the messaging to young men by both the parties.

Republican - "You're going to have a job, a house, a wife and kids, and all you have to do is work hard and you can live the American Dream"

Democrat - "You are the oppressor and need education on why men and white people are bad"

You can see how one is more appealing than the other, especially to those who don't pay much attention to politics and maybe only hear a 30s political clip on social media once a week.

Disclaimer: not saying these are actually the alignments/messaging, just major annecdotal perceptions I have heard from people who describe themselves as "not a Democrat" and asked them "why not?"

Plagiarism is plagiarism, not that complicated

former flight attendant at SpaceX

I think I missed the part that the flight attendant was employed by SpaceX and not a private jet company (not that would make his actions any better), but I think you're right, firing over speaking against harassment of a co-worker definitely sounds like retaliation, thanks.

"No shit?"

"Actually, all the shit."

convo with the employees after the incident probably

Although i still disagree with using facebook at all, and sorta unsure what you mean by "because other people are using meta products and using them on you without telling you about it" (websites using meta based SaaS products maybe), if the facebook container extension is anything like the aws container extension, I bet it's a pretty good recommendation. Firefox ALWAYS the best recommendation

Maybe I'm dumb (probably), but how is it illegal to fire employees actively talking negatively publicly about you? Can't find any reasons in the articles and linked articles other than "violated rights", what rights?

I thought everywhere but Montana you could be fired or quit for any reason OR WITHOUT REASON ("at will" employment) unless otherwise stated in a contract or if for discriminatory reasons based on protected traits (race, age, gender, etc).

If that's the case, simply saying something like "those employees didn't fit in with what we want SpaceX culture to be" dismisses the case.

Simple solution: stop using meta products
