Recently learned that an individual who is causing the most strife and division on my team is super hard-core MAGA Trumper. It really brings a clearer picture on why he is attacking I and the other women on the team and why those he hired are only white men. I'm already nervous about the upcoming election, but to see a supporter so emboldened in his views in the workplace gives me a more in-your-face view of how these people want their day-to-day.

It is not more of the same when one side clearly wants to instill a Christian Theocratic takeover. Trans rights, minority rights, reproductive rights, environmental protections, and so much more are also on the line. Both are bad candidates, but one is not calling for Christian Sharia law. You're throwing the baby out with the bath water when it comes to fallout of what will happen to those less fortunate.

I'm sorry, but this reply reeks of privilege. My reproductive freedom is on the ballot this year after already losing so much after SCOTUS was able to be stacked with conservative judges. If Trump wins, SCOTUS will forever be this way in my lifetime and my rights will erode even more as a woman. After the overturning of Roe, a 10 year old rape victim from Ohio and those who assisted her were harassed all due to providing her an abortion. States are disbanding maternal mortality boards or putting extremists over them. For the love of God, we are headed into a Handmaid's Tale if Trump is elected!

"Well the democrats should have encoded it." I literally don't care. That was then, this is now. Women are suffering now and the alternative will make it worse. When the Republican party wants to codify Christian sharia level law, that's an immediate danger to me and other women. We can't continue to protest the atrocities of Israel if we are forced into reproductive servitude. There are way to many Republicans advocating against anti child marriage laws in an age where they can be raped without a means to terminate.

I am equally frustrated about Biden's handling of Palestine, but setting my own rights on fire removes all energy and possibility to advocate for them! This attempt to accelerate us into punishing the democrats for giving us bad choices is only going to hurt those who lack the funds and privilege to easily escape a Fascist takeover.

It's all in effort of "line goes up" in the immediate short-term despite the fact that a year from now these companies are going to struggle to complete difficult projects. My company has layed off a number of 10, 15, 20+ year veterans because they were highly paid. Now there are gaps in knowledgeable folks to tap for help and Juniors are being forced to perform to a Senior level without proper support.

The pandemic growth periods caused every company to loose their damn mind to make growth projections based on those insane numbers for a time that should have been ruled out as an outlier. I know these MBA fucks had to take a business stats class, but literally dropped the fundamentals when they saw big $$$. Now they're cutting the talent that fostered their primary growth and will be looking back 6 months from now wondering why they still aren't growing. Well surely the Juniors aren't working hard enough!

While I know it isn't an exact match to the flavor you can get from Wok Hei, I've pulled off some great dishes using a wok intended for electric stoves. Being a renter, finding apartments with a gas range in my area of the US is impossible. So I've made due with a wok with a slightly flatter bottom to help assist.

I haven't tested it yet, but using a kitchen torch is another option to add that flavor depth. Serious Eats has a write up on it and I've seen Kenji use his as well to intensify the Wok Hei.

I'm so happy for you! You got this and you'll do well!

Prior to Twitter being bought by Musk, I was pretty active on there due to being part of NAFO. Typically I would call out Russian disinformation regarding the invasion of Ukraine, but I noticed some of these Pro-Kremlin accounts had associations with gamergate. One individual had something like "gamergate survivor" in his profile and I proceeded to call him out for it. In came the false narrative and derogatory language, but I'm guessing my shitposting responses got to him. Within minutes of interacting with this guy, someone was trying to get into my account. Fortunately I had MFA setup, but the mere fact that this so called gamergate survivor launched an attempt to hack into my account tells me I struck a cord with him mocking the whole movement. It's so damn childish.

The episode in question is available on YouTube and is pretty damning. But there's a portion featuring a clip where a one 737 assembly line worker asked his coworkers if they would fly on those planes. Several said no and one dude who said yes joked he had a death wish. But overall their view was the planes were unsafe due to seeing how bad the quality was themselves.

There's also the recent news that a different Boeing whistleblower got off his flight when he realized he was on a MAX despite purposefully booking a flight avoiding that plane model. Honestly really concerning that the very people who worked on those planes don't want to fly on them.

When I heard this story break, I immediately thought "this sounds like some Russia shit" because it tracks. But I really didn't want to jump to conspiracy theories because testifying in this manner could lead to mental anguish. Yet, if it's verified that Barnett did indeed said this to a friend, well now the coincidence is even more damning.

I don't trust Boeing and John Oliver's recent special about them really calls their QA into question. It feels weird to consider I flew on a MAX not too long ago following the Alaska incident. It's one thing to joke haha am I near a door plug? But more and more it feels like you're rolling the dice when you get on a Boeing. I get air travel overall is safe, but I shouldn't have to second guess that based on what plane I get on.

This feels like the AI equivalent of men telling female workers to smile more. I'm totally sure that bias wasn't cooked into these algorithms. Honestly, how is this not profiling for neurodiverse individuals?

Many others have mentioned an internship is meant for you to learn, but the job posting reads as if you already need years of experience. If you haven't done so already, report the posting as fraudulent if you're able too. This is flat-out farming for free work by taking advantage of students. See if your college/university has a career center or any resources connecting with companies that recruit from your school. Those connections would be more reliable than shady startups.

Any interview process that asks for this level of work from a take hone project is a redflag for abuse. It tells me they will literally do any incredulous thing just to keep costs low.

Growing-up in the US, you get raised under this grand illusion of how perfect the country is when reality there is an ugly history to its founding. No, the pilgrims and natives didn't have that perfect crayon picture view of Thanksgiving. No, successionist states didn't start the Civil War due to states rights. No, Manifest Destiny wasn't some righteous calling for expansion from God.

Apparently acknowledging these flase-truths and taking efforts to actually learn them is such a threat to conservative ideals. For a group that complains so much about safe spaces or accuses leftist for seeking an utopia, there's so much projection of them literally doing the same in a racist and conservative ideal. The mayor recognizes this and wants those with the opportunity to choose a college athletic department that does as well. Why would you want to represent a state that doesn't even acknowledge your own history?
