  • The obvious solution here is to not get pregnant. ...

    This train of thought gets me thinking. What if these religious wackos actually understand what they're doing and their purpose is grinding procreation of a certain class to a halt?

    In Texas, the vast majority of new births are latino. "White ppl" aren't having kids. What if this is intentional and those dumb fucks aren't just shooting themselves in the face?

    Could it be that these religious conservatives decided to take their toys from Earth and fuck off to whatever heaven they think they're going to?
    "You can't have white people anymore! We're killing them all and letting you rot here on your own. We're going to heaven and you're not, hah!"

    ... Nah, can't be. They're probably just dumb.

  • I know little of past wars, but you seem to know a little less.

    In general, orders to play nice were given from the top because they needed the infrastructure kept intact as much as possible and make it cheaper to rebuild after. But those orders got diluted as they went down the command chain because there was no such thing as absolute control over an entire army.
    And even if the orders were disobeyed, there wasn't much punishment given after the fact in order to avoid the chance of rebellion.

    So these orders can be factually correct, but also just paper to wipe their asses with.

  • Yes it is, because that's the level you're reducing it at.

    You claim to know better, to predict how the situation will turn out, but then you jump in it anyway just so you can say "I knew it!".

    I too know how to throw a tantrum in the middle of a supermarket aisle because mommy and daddy aren't buying me what I want, hoping that if I annoy everyone enough, they'll cave in.

    But unlike other kids, I also know it doesn't really work that way. I don't know how to do it better, yet I understand that way isn't working. Do you?

  • COVID took precedence over all else during that pandemic and resources from otherwise regular activities such as mass vaccination in schools for measles were ignored.
    So it's less the problem of antivax parents and more the amazingly poor organizational skills of our institutions.

  • You won't see it much in the wild, but there have been a few sporadic cases of suspicion where cloudflare may have removed or modified attachment files.
    Of course, there's a chance those files were malware or that cloudflare didn't do anything, but for now, there is a theory being formed that all the websites managed by cloudflare can have any of its data modified at will by cloudflare, making it a potential hub for tyranny, censorship and oppression.

  • That's stupid as fuck. You don't need to snottily educate people on why the dumb shit you're doing has complex implications beyond the visible annoyance to the regular person. You need to find a way of protesting that has that regular person go "Fuck yeah! Let's do this shit!".

  • Depends on the employer. Some will cut their losses fast, others will hold on till the bitter end.

    I somewhat know one of the latter. His startup was going down hard two years back, but even now I still see him active once in a while on the same project. No idea how it's faring, but the guy is still at it. Doubt he still has the same team though, so be ready to move if you're one of the more expensive hires.
