It's back up as of last night.

While all people deserve to be treated with respect, I can't help but wonder why they thought they would be? They're probably getting longer shelter stays, better access to services, and more respect than the homeless population that isn't made up of migrants. The barriers migrants are facing are meant to be a deterrent no matter how wrong that might be.

Which countries are those?

Ohh, I was getting ready to ask why it was so pale.

Why does this guy think he invented the web? I don't know enough to say he didn't, but why does he think so?

Wasn't it a multi-person/org effort? Isn't that why everyone laughed at Al Gore when he implied the same? After going on about the need to decentralize, this guy wants to take the credit himself?

I posted a cover of a classic Korean rock song to c/Coververse and got down voted for that. Songs I'd posted in English didn't get that response. Idk if it was due to the fact the song was in Korean, or due to voters not recognizing the original.

If you get up and fill the dish right this minute, you might be.

I tried that, but eventually they just all blended so that now I've got three different windows with 50 of the same tabs open. Groups can have labels so that I can see which group is which.

No. No it's not.

It's about tf time.

How do you get a job asking awkward questions? It sounds like my calling, and I'd prefer not to live in constant fear of being fired!

Yeah, it wasn't worded well in the article. "The group" -- well, which one?

After a race scandal involving the CEO at my job, we've all been taking DEI training. The latest one took months to complete. They aren't one-off "be nice to each other" bs webinars. They're deep dives into the history and origins of racism, from the feudal lords in Europe inventing indentured servitude and how that morphed into slavery, to redlining and how that impedes generational wealth.

The only reasonable conclusion you can come to, if you honestly engage with the material, is that capitalism and its interests lie beneath all forms of discrimination and inequity. Corporations were all into DEIA when they thought it was good PR that made them look good to customers and improved staff morale. But then, the material starts giving those employees ideas. That's what this recent push-back on DEIA is about.

The group that submitted the malicious proposal called it sunsetting.

I mean, I'm glad, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder why these corporations care, when they're killing people in so many other ways outside of prisons.

They aren't punishing either one for data gathering. It's pretty clear that the powers that be deem that acceptable. The punishments (and whether you think it's valid or not, FB has been punished) are for what each does or can do with that data. Facebook has legal limits on that. China has no legal obligation to adhere to those.

My kid fell for this. They promise you’ll get paid while you learn. What they don’t tell you is that IF you manage to pass the entrance exam (he did) you get put on a list for open apprenticeship positions, waiting to be called in at any moment. While you’re on that list you don’t get paid. If you do get a spot, contracts only last a couple of months. Then you go back on the list. Rinse and repeat. And the longer you’ve been in the union the higher up you get placed on the list. So the older members get placed before the newer ones no matter what number they were in line. This “join a trade” push is similar to the charter school scam, siphoning up state and federal training funds without delivering results.

How right you are! https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/2024/03/06/controversial-manufacturer-friendly-pfas-language-could-be-resurrected/
