Well at least there's not a fuckton of methane hydrates on the ocean floor that are now releasing a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than CO2 refrom the ocean floor as the water gets warmer. And that isn't a self-feeding loop that means it's probably too late to save ourselves now.
Name a job where interrupting a CEO's presentation in public wouldn't be a terminable offense. What employee handbook says "If you've exhausted all other internal channels and are unhappy with the company's direction, just call out the boss in front of thousands of people and there won't be consequences."
If your company is that evil and unsettling to change, you call them out and resign. Calling them out but still wanting to be paid is saying you're okay with taking blood money as long as you're saying it's bad.
I mean it's not like he went on Truth Social shortly before he announced the pause and told people it was a good time to buy stocks or anything... right?
I did like in the Invincible comics that Atom Eve realized that her matter-manipulation powers were better used for things like providing food, shelter, and resources to the world than fighting people in suits.
My sister and I were talking about benign superpowers and decided the X-Men probably have someone like a band director with a superpower like perfect pitch who watches after the school while everyone else is off adventuring.
They could crack down more on pirated Photoshop, but they don't want to.
The money is in the commercials licensing, and people who can't afford Creative Cloud pirating it and learning it is good for them when they need software for work later.
I'm a massive fan of FOSS. For my GIS work, I use QGIS over ESRI. For 3D modeling, I use Blender. For streaming video, I use OBS. Many FOSS solutions are extremely polished, and even for those that are clunky, they can be made to do what you need with a little work.
But when it comes to photo editing, the reality is Adobe's overpriced market leaders also happen to be far and away the best products. It's not even close. Photoshop and Lightroom are untouched by the competition, paid or free. They're simply excellent products that provide functionality that isn't replicated elsewhere.
While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft's complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.
I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.
He was sent there, admittedly, by mistake due to an administrative fuckup.
We should be telling the Salvadorian government to have him on a plane within the hour, or we will ensure he has a flight back to the US on a military transport by the end of the day whether they choose to release him or not.
But what this shows is that even for those who want an evil system that benefits them, this administration is a disaster. There's literally nothing good about it, even for greedy, evil capitalists.
States have idiotic rules that schools must be open X days a year to receive funding. So schools do everything they can to stay open during disasters so they don't have to add days at the end of the school year.
That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.
