These tweets are just saying they got banned. I was referring to the actual tweet that got them banned. What did they say, and was it actually offensive, or was it just anti-israel and anti-IDF?

I’ve listened to Cenk many times and he has never been anti-jewish, only anti-israel and anti-idf. Both of those takes I think are totally justified, but I’m still curious what someone else judged to be so bad that their Visa was revoked.

What did they say? I hate news that describes that somebody did such and such bad and therefore consequence, but they don’t actually say what they said so you can’t judge for yourself whether it was legitimate or bullshit.

The reality is people get laid off or fired for all sorts of reasons. This is the IT equivalent of setting fire to the equipment that you used to build something and the production prototype and walking out the door thinking you can just just leave and get away with it.

In this guy’s fantasy he would be doing 10 to 20 years of prison time if he gets caught and charged with both state and federal crimes. And let’s be real, he’ll definitely get caught.

Sorry man, this isn’t burning Bridges to the guy is talking about, this is ending up in jail. If you want to burn Bridges, yell and scream on your way out the door and say “fuck you everyone!”. What this guy is fantasizing about doing is 10+ years in prison and both state and federal felony charges. “Burning bridges” would not really be his primary concern.

I think you give too much credit to people who say “ban Muslims”. They’re usually not that logical.

As an atheist, I never bring up my beliefs unless asked. My religious friends and relatives on social media spout their shit non-stop. If I did 1/10th of that they’d be up in arms.

This post just seems like a straw man to try and keep atheists invisible.

For me it was politics, it was all about politics. I couldn’t believe the 60% of our country were blood thirsty pro-war fanatics who salivated at the chance to torture our enemies. Selfish old people. Vile religious fanatics. Hate fueled nuts. This is who we live with, this is the other half of society. It’s depressing when you go from thinking “we just have an honest difference in opinion on what the government should do” to “holy shit these people are evil!”.

I think that’s really when you’re raising your kids (hopefully in your 30s). That’s when you look back and say “this isn’t so hard, wtf were they doing?” “How could they have done that to their kid?” and you can’t believe anyone ever thought that was ok. When you haven’t been a parent you’re more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but once you are that goes away.

That’s the perfect place for government regulation. Start a tiered approach where larger apartment complexes have to electrify a certain percentage of there parking spaces. Every year make the size of the apartment building that has to do this shrink and increase the percentage of parking spaces that require electrification. Also make it a requirement that these electrified spots can’t be more than x dollars per kilowatt hour or have them tied to the owner’s electrical usage.

There are a lot of ways you can do this, but this is really something that needs to be done through the government for it to happen for low-cost apartments.

I’m betting he was the ONLY democrat. Yep. ONLY democrat. That’s why this is significant.

I felt this when I was struggling with depression. I recommend seeking help for that.

Nah, this is simply a question of training. You can train yourself to do it either way.

I do this, except I don’t swap the buttons so that I could go back and forth from left to right hand without changing anything. (When I first did it, I swapped the buttons because that seemed more natural but I’ve since trained myself to use it “backwards” on the left hand.).

I think that’s the ticket for a lot of things like a rave, a party, or even a concert. I’ve been to 5 or 10 concerts in my life, and every single one I’m bored silly after 30 minutes. I don’t drink or do drugs and I figure that’s the missing ingredient.

When I realized that guys typically need an activity to bond together, sports start to make a lot more sense. Sports are just a catalyst to male friendship. Yeah guys take the sports way too far, but it makes it more fun if there’s an emotional high or low when they watch it.

Religious wars are usually about power, not actually because they believe in different imaginary beings. Religion gets control of our population or the people in power youth religion to control the population and then they bump heads with another group doing the same thing… and you get war.

It could be that, or it could also be a way for someone to say they approve of your relationship without being so tacky as to say they approve of your relationship.

It can also be a way of saying that you’re hitting above your weight class, that you’re out of your league, And they didn’t really expect that you’d find someone as amazing as your girlfriend.

But in reality, yeah, it probably means that they’re attracted to her. I think this statement does imply a certain degree of envy. But attraction occurs on many different levels and sexuality is just one.

If I try to think of the girl that would make me say this to my son, it would be a girl who was intelligent, motivated with a view of where she wants to go in life and that she’s attractive, charismatic and really seems to be in love with my son.

This is the thing that made covid great. Historically, the anti-vaccine crowds are like this crowd, where they make a bad decision and their child has to pay for it. An innocent child that has no control over his or her situation.

The great thing about covid, is that the people who decide not to take the vaccine are the ones who could potentially die. Now this isn’t totally true. Kids spread the disease to other kids and potentially grandparents or the elderly. Get the disease and even if they’ve been vaccinated to take a die. But at least on the first order, the idiot anti-vaccine people are the ones who get really sick.

It was advice I have myself in college… Don’t focus on getting good grades, focus on learning. Judge your success on how much you learned.

The only time my grades actually mattered was interviewing for jobs right out of college. After that, every other job is based on your previous job and non no one ever asked again.

I’m in engineering and it this doesn’t necessarily translate to other fields. But I’m currently the cto for a mid sized tech company.
