This is refreshing to hear. For a while it seemed like Apple was clamping down on things like employees organizing and requesting remote work on Slack earlier in the pandemic.

> To me, a commercial is something that advertises something I'm not watching and prevents me from watching what I want to. A non-skippable trailer for a movie is a commercial, for instance. Autoplaying content is the advertising of

Do you have any evidence from your media diet? I see recent articles over the past year that it isn't successful in diversifying.

The point being made is that finance is far more exclusionary and racist/sexist than tech, but tech gets all the articles written about it. The onus would be on those with power to change hiring in finance, much like the big tech compa

What services are you using that have no commercials? I would definitely consider Netflix auto-playing content by default a type of commercial. I must have touched a nerve among the Netflix base

You don't see narratives about how everyone should get into finance. That is certainly a good ol boys club.

It would seem best for Apple, Google, et al to collaborate on universal tracking detectors, similar to universal hidden camera detectors: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AFjGQNaqmXA * edit - It appears that may be in the work

Trump wasn't some random person though--he had a huge financial and social network before he became notorious in politics on Twitter. It does not follow that every influencer starts out as a random person at all.

This lack of transparency, public oversight, and engagement seems to be a trend. I would love to hear how other cities have managed to steer their elected officials into community oversight. Financial influence cannot be the only option.

What a beautiful depiction of self-exploration. It would be interesting to hear more about how you get yourself to continue digging in such a state of mind.

This would seem like an obvious topic for rival publications to run with.

And they are unrealistic too. As if the wealthy would ever have private islands where they engage in pedophilic behavior.

Wouldn't it make sense then to marry someone with a similar socioeconomic status? Or if divorce is skewed against men, only pursue women who make more than you? Marriage as legal entity was created as a result of women being more or le

Activism on these issues get stamped out by the wealthy. Look at what happened to Bernie and Occupy Wall Street. It is not a matter of lack of passion or organization. It is a matter of corruption.

Russia has literally won wars because the opposition underestimated how much Russia was willing to engage in scorched earth tactics.

You have a point--just because Rush's music is technically sound, that does not mean it is good music.

There is a certain amount of cognitive dissonance experienced when you read that the companies you frequently patronize (Microsoft, Facebook, and Apple for the majority of the tech world) are doing nefarious things. We would just rather not

The annual cost cited earlier is not referring to COVID pods, so I would like evidence that the cost is comparable long-term.

Is it really a brain drain if many of the top students at the University of Michigan came from out of state (New York/Jersey or California or overseas [Europe/Israel/India/Nigeria/China]) in the first place?

You are paying for education, transportation, and food. Are you sure privatizing that is a comparable price tag? I would like to see some evidence.

You're hung up on the wrong part. Tell me more about how the phrase "locally sourcing your sex needs from the nearest supplier" isn't creepy.

by Iefthandrule 5y ago
Maybe creepy is not the right word, but it seems like something you would do if you lack social skills. Also, "supporting local sex work" is already a thing. They are called brothels or strip clubs.
