Really surprised they didn't have that. Watched the first episode and was all "this is Adult Swim, where's the weird violence, gross stuff, or sex?" and then nothing happened.
Just discovered that I, a European nurse responsible for 12 patients each day on my own in a high-risk hospital setting, gets paid the same as an administrative assistant at a Pharmaceuticals company whose task packet is refilling the printers paper and distributing flyers for the company.
Like I know socialism isn't the answer but can we please stop paying bullshit jobs made for the children of management this high? Why the fuck did I become a high-responsiblity nurse if I can just fuck around and absolutely not find out in another job.

Do you want to see the Arab states all go full commitment to the USSR outside of the context of Israel and Palestine? Because that's how you get them to fully commit to the USSR.
They already did that, why do you think OPEC exists.
The Soviets gave the Arab states so many weapons that it actively hurt military readiness.
The Soviets gave the Arab states several times the number of vehicles and equipment that they gave to the Vietnamese for the entire Vietnam war, for just the Yom Kippur war alone.
Every Arab state was pretty firmly anti-US by the 60s.
The thing is that despite close alignment with the USSR, Egypt, for example, was still willing to play both sides officially, leaving a wedge that we could later exploit after they reached detente with Israel. But I can't imagine that having a colonial power still very much present in the region would have done anything but cement them more permanently in the USSR's orbit.
Both Israel and Palestine have the right to exist.
That said, once a Palestinian state is established, I have good reasons to be concerned about the safety of Jews living within its borders
Honestly, I would not be in the least bit surprised if the first order of business on either side of the border is to expel Israelis and Palestinians finding themselves in the "wrong" country. But given how things are going, I still think that would be better than whatever the fuck has been going on since the Second Intifada. Even though it will be a terrible crime when and if it happens
it'd be cool if you could just go sit at an ER when you're debating between "but chest pain" and "panic attack" and just leave eventually because it's really embarrassing to feel that bad but then wait seven hours with an IV so too late to sneak away and it was the latter

I swear that the online discourse about the academic job market is dominated by losers.
If you only read Reddit, youβd think that 99% of PhD students want an academic job, do multiple postdocs to try to get one, and end up in shit industry jobs.
After going to a few visit days, I realized that 95% of PhD students in statistics/applied math want to go into industry from the get go and are planning accordingly.
The % of PhD students who want an academic job is higher in economics but almost no one has trouble getting a PhD job in industry if they donβt get one.
Idk where this multiple postdocs and underemployed loser trope comes from.
Reddit is in and of itself a time waster so it attracts a lot of unmotivated people, which is why I think it has so much give me free shit loser attitude. So the people wanting to go to industry are probably working hard to get there and not wasting time on reddit.

But Israel seems pretty hellbent on destabilizing the region as much as possible right now... It seems like the IDF has become the only tool in the toolbox
Well yeah, the Israeli right has been drifting into insanity territory ever since the late 70s when the rest of the body politic decided that maybe existing in a state of perpetual war with Arabs was a bad idea. It's no surprise now that a significant portion of Israelis hate the idea of having any sort of accommodation with Palestinians and are actively trying to make things worse
increasingly of the opinion that the MTA should contract multiple operators (perhaps one for each of the IRT, BMT, and IND) who get to collect fares but pay some kind of rent for using MTA infrastructure, with discounts provided for upgrades they perform; the MTA could use its fees to focus entirely on expansion projects
not sure if a similar system has been implemented elsewhere in the world, and I'm not sure it's possible to implement this as long as the TWU doesn't want it, but I don't think transit in NYC can continue in its current form
!ping USA-NYC
It's not unheard of (Keolis and the MBTA for instance). Not I don't think it clearly leads to better outcomes
More effective would be to bring MTA governance closer to the people who actually use it
the main difference I am proposing is that the private company collects fees and pays the agency for the privilege, instead of the agency hiring them as just an operations contractor
additionally, they would have the ability to invest in infrastructure upgrades in exchange for discounts or other incentives
the idea is that the relationship becomes more like landlord <-> tenant instead of government agency <-> contractor
Kinda miss the days where if you posted a stupid/obvious question you'd get slammed with "look it up" or "let me Google that for you" links. Now if you respond with that you get downvoted to hell.

Putins biggest propaganda win is the US invading Iraq for nebulous reasons, and defaulting to that invasion whenever their blatantly imperalistic wars go on.
Like yes the war in Iraq was bad but jt was bad based on justification, Sadaam was bad
> They didn't lie they were mistaken
Successive layers of both the political and civil service arms of the government took evidence that was suggestive or incomplete and acted as if it were ironclad. This happened because there was a desire on behalf of the administration for it to be true, and the tendency of post 9/11 government to assume the worst. The invasion was absolutely based on lies, the Senate Report on Iraqi WMD Intelligence from 2004 concludes as much. The lie was diffuse, with no one person responsible, but it was due to the nature of the administration and the buck stops with the President.
yeah i feel like everything about the iraq war being bad is based on shitty reasons bc the iraq war was bad but not for the βwar for oilβ populist shit
For all the talk about the CS job market being shit, is there a job market that's not shit right now?
Biotech also has massive layoffs and hiring freezes despite having a much lower pay grade than CS. The econ job market allegedly also went to shit after covid. Law school grads have been struggling to find jobs ever since the Great Recession.
It seems that all the sectors that are booming now are blue-collar or something like that lol.
I only have a view in nuclear but it seems from my corner that plenty are still being hired in an attempt to replace the massive slug of retirees who recently peaced out and the raises are both steady and generousβ¦ I always just scratch my head on the job market thing when people say it but whateverβs valid for them
Its still hard for me to see the cs job market as "shit". People have been saying it was before covid, during covid, and after covid, and I'm sitting here with people I know switching jobs, and recruiters along with old coworkers hounding me to give me work.
Yeah two friends of mine just got hired by Amazon right out of college. I really donβt think the CS job market is as bad as people make it out to be.
A sizable portion of our electorate is willing to vote for man who kept state secrets, nuclear and otherwise, in a unsecured closet next to a palette of Diet Coke. This man must be defeated, his ideology destroyed.

The Bear is so good. As someone who runs an abusive workplace and is known for exploding on minimum wage workers for the smallest fault itβs so relatable.
So, how do you fix a nation whose people have decided that trying to overthrow democracy in order to cling on to power \*isn't\* enough to disqualify someone from holding the highest office in the land? Are we just cooked?
The Ruto administration has been on a clear mission to align itself deeply with the West - more than any other country on the continent.

I swear the "lump of labor" fallacy seems to crop up everywhere. Ironically, even in violent crime. People think that bringing in more immigrants, even if they are less criminally oriented than the native population intrinsically makes us all less safe since even one murder is a murder that wouldn't have happened if they werent there. But what they miss is that immigrants aren't just bringing murderers, they're also bringing victims. Victims that are far more likely to be victimized than natives. It means that while there are examples of immigrants committing murders on native populations, it is likely the case that murders that would have affected natives will instead be moved to an immigrant, effectively saving the life of a native.
Now, this must all sound so incredibly boorish, but frankly, the whole "one murder that could have been prevented by avoiding immigration" might sound sweet until you realize what you're doing is forcing immigrants stay in places they are unsafe in, forcing them to stay in poverty stricken locations, and preventing them from taking part in the greatest nations on earth, all because you suck at math and are too racist to consider an immigrant a person like a native. So you know, if you're going to be an irrational prick making everyone poorer due to your xenophobia, at least acknowledge it isn't about saftey.
So I was at my local Dems meeting today and we had some people there to talk about the importance of supporting unions. I asked about the police officer guild and how to balance protecting workers with being able to reform institutions. The person I asked, who was a government union worker, literally dropped her head to the table in exasperation. The panel gave a decent answer about how the cops had been kicked out of the union union (which I didn't realize existed), but I had 3 people come up to me afterwards to say it was a good question and one guy gave me a fist bump
That was a weird experience

So what new conflicts arise if trump becomes president again?
China moves on Taiwan?
Iran and the Saudis/Israel get into it more?
Ukraine is further consumed by Russia?
We invade Mexico or Venezuela?
Forgotten foreign policy blunder, but Trump had the opportunity for regime change in Venezuela. He was just too lazy and cowered to Putin when he send a flotilla there. A carrier fleet and a strong message of 'accept the election results or else' might have been enough to topple Maduro.
I swear every time I see a news article about violent crime itβs always someone that did some horrifying shit and was let free. Guy abused a sex worker for 5 days straight and the Canadian justice system decided to let him back into society.Β
Look I get rehabilitation for a teenagers that need guidance but wtf is the Canadian system doing. A grown ass man torturing someone for 5 days isnβt getting any sympathy from any sane person. Idk if im even mad at people for backing the conservatives for suggesting the Non withstanding clause at this point. Hereβs another exampleΒ
On Wednesday, Superior Court Justice Susan Himel noted Direkβs voluminous criminal record, withΒ 53 previous convictions, including several for dangerous driving as well as for robbery, assault, drug trafficking and gun charges.
His βterrible criminal recordβ and disregard for the law over decades were aggravating factors in his sentence, the judge said.
He got only 4 years after killing a girl in a hit and run. This piece of shit is gonna be back in society in 2.Β
Trying to cite Genetic evidence as being Pro or Anti Palestinians actually being converted Jews is both bizarre and not strongly supported by evidence.
Genetic evidence says that Jews are Levantine and Palestinians are Levantine with Muslim Palestinians having some Arab genetics.
This goes directly in line with the historical records available to us.
The Levant is not a bunch of isolated mountain areas there were regular interactions between Levantine peoples from Syria to the edge of Egypt.
The Romans genocided about 2/3rds of the Jewish population of Judea and enslaved most Jewish peoples from around Judea after the Jewish Roman wars.
We know that there were non-Jewish peoples in Judea and that Levantine people from the neighboring provinces could move to Judea.
The Palestinians are largely not the successors of the Ancient Jews they are from other parts of the Levant that moved to Judea after the Romans genocided the Jews or were largely non-Jews that survived the genocide.
The modern Jews are successors of the Ancient Jews because the ancient Jews were genocided and enslaved and most of the Jews that survived were the enslaved ones.
Literally none of this matters because making land claims based off groups that controlled lands several thousand years ago is stupid.
It's like arguing that India owns Iran because most of Irans population was expelled into India by the Mongols in the Middle Ages.
The main difference between the recent people and the old way was that instead of just going increasingly inactive we had a handful stop being mods and actually leave their mod powers and still post as users.

It's not unheard of (Keolis and the MBTA for instance). Not I don't think it clearly leads to better outcomes More effective would be to bring MTA governance closer to the people who actually use it
the main difference I am proposing is that the private company collects fees and pays the agency for the privilege, instead of the agency hiring them as just an operations contractor additionally, they would have the ability to invest in infrastructure upgrades in exchange for discounts or other incentives the idea is that the relationship becomes more like landlord <-> tenant instead of government agency <-> contractor

Kinda miss the days where if you posted a stupid/obvious question you'd get slammed with "look it up" or "let me Google that for you" links. Now if you respond with that you get downvoted to hell.

Putins biggest propaganda win is the US invading Iraq for nebulous reasons, and defaulting to that invasion whenever their blatantly imperalistic wars go on. Like yes the war in Iraq was bad but jt was bad based on justification, Sadaam was bad
Nah, not really a propaganda win if the only people you see sharing that point are either naive people or social media trolls.
>inb4 "they lied about wmds" They didn't lie they were mistaken, it's a minor difference but one that makes the motivation different
> They didn't lie they were mistaken Successive layers of both the political and civil service arms of the government took evidence that was suggestive or incomplete and acted as if it were ironclad. This happened because there was a desire on behalf of the administration for it to be true, and the tendency of post 9/11 government to assume the worst. The invasion was absolutely based on lies, the Senate Report on Iraqi WMD Intelligence from 2004 concludes as much. The lie was diffuse, with no one person responsible, but it was due to the nature of the administration and the buck stops with the President.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For all the talk about the CS job market being shit, is there a job market that's not shit right now? Biotech also has massive layoffs and hiring freezes despite having a much lower pay grade than CS. The econ job market allegedly also went to shit after covid. Law school grads have been struggling to find jobs ever since the Great Recession. It seems that all the sectors that are booming now are blue-collar or something like that lol.
I only have a view in nuclear but it seems from my corner that plenty are still being hired in an attempt to replace the massive slug of retirees who recently peaced out and the raises are both steady and generousβ¦ I always just scratch my head on the job market thing when people say it but whateverβs valid for them
The same can be said about pretty much any other white collar job but people are still complaining about the job market being shit.
Its still hard for me to see the cs job market as "shit". People have been saying it was before covid, during covid, and after covid, and I'm sitting here with people I know switching jobs, and recruiters along with old coworkers hounding me to give me work.
Yeah two friends of mine just got hired by Amazon right out of college. I really donβt think the CS job market is as bad as people make it out to be.

We meet in a sub noted for knowledge, in a political tent noted for progress, in a liberal mentality noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. We chose to Neoliberal not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
Should Ukraine give up Crimea in exchange for securing the Donbass in a hypothetical peace scenario?
Not clear Russia would even accept that deal.
how would you feel if you didnβt have breakfast
Seems unlikely that any peace agreement would involve any substantial change of held territory
That sounds an awful lot like defending the Donbass again in a decade
Seems like Ukraine's call to make

The Bear is so good. As someone who runs an abusive workplace and is known for exploding on minimum wage workers for the smallest fault itβs so relatable.

The Ruto administration has been on a clear mission to align itself deeply with the West - more than any other country on the continent. Has your view of Kenya changed over the last few years? If so, how? And what specific actions or decisions has driven that change? What stands out?
I swear the "lump of labor" fallacy seems to crop up everywhere. Ironically, even in violent crime. People think that bringing in more immigrants, even if they are less criminally oriented than the native population intrinsically makes us all less safe since even one murder is a murder that wouldn't have happened if they werent there. But what they miss is that immigrants aren't just bringing murderers, they're also bringing victims. Victims that are far more likely to be victimized than natives. It means that while there are examples of immigrants committing murders on native populations, it is likely the case that murders that would have affected natives will instead be moved to an immigrant, effectively saving the life of a native. Now, this must all sound so incredibly boorish, but frankly, the whole "one murder that could have been prevented by avoiding immigration" might sound sweet until you realize what you're doing is forcing immigrants stay in places they are unsafe in, forcing them to stay in poverty stricken locations, and preventing them from taking part in the greatest nations on earth, all because you suck at math and are too racist to consider an immigrant a person like a native. So you know, if you're going to be an irrational prick making everyone poorer due to your xenophobia, at least acknowledge it isn't about saftey.
So I was at my local Dems meeting today and we had some people there to talk about the importance of supporting unions. I asked about the police officer guild and how to balance protecting workers with being able to reform institutions. The person I asked, who was a government union worker, literally dropped her head to the table in exasperation. The panel gave a decent answer about how the cops had been kicked out of the union union (which I didn't realize existed), but I had 3 people come up to me afterwards to say it was a good question and one guy gave me a fist bump That was a weird experience
>The person I asked, who was a government union worker, literally dropped her head to the table in exasperation. Is it possible to learn this power?

So what new conflicts arise if trump becomes president again? China moves on Taiwan? Iran and the Saudis/Israel get into it more? Ukraine is further consumed by Russia? We invade Mexico or Venezuela?
Forgotten foreign policy blunder, but Trump had the opportunity for regime change in Venezuela. He was just too lazy and cowered to Putin when he send a flotilla there. A carrier fleet and a strong message of 'accept the election results or else' might have been enough to topple Maduro.
Venezuela also claims much of Guyana

I swear every time I see a news article about violent crime itβs always someone that did some horrifying shit and was let free. Guy abused a sex worker for 5 days straight and the Canadian justice system decided to let him back into society.Β Look I get rehabilitation for a teenagers that need guidance but wtf is the Canadian system doing. A grown ass man torturing someone for 5 days isnβt getting any sympathy from any sane person. Idk if im even mad at people for backing the conservatives for suggesting the Non withstanding clause at this point. Hereβs another exampleΒ On Wednesday, Superior Court Justice Susan Himel noted Direkβs voluminous criminal record, withΒ 53 previous convictions, including several for dangerous driving as well as for robbery, assault, drug trafficking and gun charges. His βterrible criminal recordβ and disregard for the law over decades were aggravating factors in his sentence, the judge said. He got only 4 years after killing a girl in a hit and run. This piece of shit is gonna be back in society in 2.Β
DT walking right up to the edge of rule V and staring wistfully into the void tonight
Trying to cite Genetic evidence as being Pro or Anti Palestinians actually being converted Jews is both bizarre and not strongly supported by evidence. Genetic evidence says that Jews are Levantine and Palestinians are Levantine with Muslim Palestinians having some Arab genetics. This goes directly in line with the historical records available to us. The Levant is not a bunch of isolated mountain areas there were regular interactions between Levantine peoples from Syria to the edge of Egypt. The Romans genocided about 2/3rds of the Jewish population of Judea and enslaved most Jewish peoples from around Judea after the Jewish Roman wars. We know that there were non-Jewish peoples in Judea and that Levantine people from the neighboring provinces could move to Judea. The Palestinians are largely not the successors of the Ancient Jews they are from other parts of the Levant that moved to Judea after the Romans genocided the Jews or were largely non-Jews that survived the genocide. The modern Jews are successors of the Ancient Jews because the ancient Jews were genocided and enslaved and most of the Jews that survived were the enslaved ones. Literally none of this matters because making land claims based off groups that controlled lands several thousand years ago is stupid. It's like arguing that India owns Iran because most of Irans population was expelled into India by the Mongols in the Middle Ages.

It's why a two state solution should be the ultimate goal - both Jews and Palestinians should have their own place
