It been interesting to see white people in Canada afraid of being colonized while vehemently downplaying the Indigenous people’s grievances as “why can’t they just accept the culture they’ve been given?” So close to self awareness but will never get there.

Seriously, when Indigenous groups pushed back on Carney’s “elbows up” nation building projects, I saw so many comments from internet geniuses along the lines of “they’re trying to treat this like their inter-tribal relations where they demand soverignty and veto power on anything that goes on in their territory at any point in the process, unfortunately that’s not how Western investment and development work.” Yeah, it really is fucking unfortunate that we’re still denying them their culture and ways of doing things.

Wouldn’t call it “wage theft” so much as “wage slavery.” Theft implies a higher wage was promised to you when profits increase when that absolutely wasn’t the case. They told you completely shamelessly that you would be getting the same shitty wages no matter how well you do and you had no choice to accept it, you know, basically like a slave. At most a slave that could choose their slaver.

Actually, calling wage work slavery isn’t that far off, since many slaves throughout history were paid in some form for their work, and some could even (in theory) buy their freedom. You will never be able to buy your freedom though, the capitalists calculate your wage to ensure you remain poor and desperate so you keep working for them.

Just write the Rust build configuration as a Rust struct at this point.

It’s also manufacturing consent for society to accept being covertly recorded by random people at all times, and potentially for that footage to be posted out of context on the internet with brainrot edits and sound effects mocking people minding their own business because they happened to act a little funny but ultimately harmless in public. It used to be that wearing any kind of hidden camera on your person made you a creep and an asshole period, doubly so if you post any of that footage anywhere, even when it was technically legal. Is it wrong to want it to stay that way? Now you have tech companies not just providing resources to, but actively encouraging that same creep behavior and gas lighting everyone else into thinking they’re the problem if they don’t like it.

As far as I know, Israel’s stance is that because Jews inhabited Israel before the Arab Palestinian “invaders,” they’re completely justified in exterminating them to take back their homeland.

If we assume that Israel’s stance is “correct,” doesn’t it logically follow that every other country is completely justified in exterminating Jews because they’re “invaders” to everywhere but Israel?

If that’s not antisemitic I don’t know what is.

Or, if the assertion is that every country should accept and accommodate Jews (which is the correct assertion obviously), why are Jews in Israel not held to the same standard regarding Palestinians?

You’re arguing with natural stupidity here. It’s human slop.

Just put “Precondition: x must not be prime” in the function doc and it’ll be 100% accurate. Not my fault if you use it wrong.

10€ says he’ll still be first in line to enlist in the Greenland invasion.

Yeah, reading it back I realize I was being an ass. I apologize.

“My” in the commuter sense. “Gotta go, my train is here.”

The great thing about trains is you’re not forced to own one and go into debt for it.

How the fuck does a tech company as big as Amazon have this running in production and not a test/staging environment? This is the kind of mistake a platform run by one person makes and even then they probably won’t make it again.

Huh, something tells me that working in FAANG doesn’t actually make you a better engineer, they just have more money to not throw at R&D which somehow makes you feel superior to every other engineer 🤔

“I need to wash my train, and the train wash is 100 meters away. Should I walk or take the train.”

“Neither. It is not the passengers’ responsibility to wash a train, as all maintainance of public transit should be paid for by your taxes. Furthermore, the train wash is typically located in the maintainance yard which is not accessible to regular passengers. You wouldn’t be able to get through the front gate on foot, and would be told to leave of you tried to ride past the end of the line.”

Written not by artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity.

Doesn’t simp for the US, just coincidentally believes every claim the US makes about socialist countries. Cool.

Post your sources then. I posted mine after I “got caught in a LIE.” Since you’re obviously not LYING and are a well-read expert on Cuban labour practices unlike me, that should be an easy ask for you.

Not a source in itself but links to many sources.

Also, you know nothing about Cuba and everything you say is straight out of the US propaganda pool which they’ve been using to justify their illegal blockade of the country. Also also, if I’m just a hive mind drone and you’re apparently not, why not post your own sources to show how much better informed you are and how much better you are than me? Seems like you don’t have sources and are deflecting from your lack of sources.

That, if true (since you didn’t link any sources), sounds at worst like the kind of exploitation that Westerners like you and me rely on (from “undocumented” or even documented immigrants in your own country, resource extraction sectors in developing countries, cheap overseas manufacturing, etc) that allows us to make the illusion of a living wage from what little work we do in comparison. In reality Cuba would actually be far less exploitative than us because we do all of what you described and much, much worse to people you never see or think about. Where did that cobalt in your phone come from? What about your chocolate? Where does your e-waste go after you drop it off at a big box store before buying the newest thing? Cuba at least doesn’t prop up their own citizens at the great expense of people they deem less important.

Buses. They’re called buses.

Cuba for one. China has been working very hard towards it (to a much further extent than any Western country) but due to their massive population it’s debatable of they’ve gotten there for every single labour job yet, but they will.

Ones that don’t exploit immigration or prison as a source of cheap labour. AKA nowhere in the West.

“China has exploitative labour!”

China: “OK we’re using robots to keep labour costs low without exploiting anyone”

“Wait, not like that”
