  • Danielle Smith’s $30-Million AHS Firing Spree | The Tyee

  • I remember reading (relatively recently) research showing conservatives literally believe badvthingscdo not happen to good people. If they know someone personally who they know is good, and something bad happens to them, they either think it is a rare example of bad luck and they will help out, or they will decide that person must not have been a good person.

    It allows them to justify the mental gymnastics of being anti-abortion but paying for their daughter's "procedure" at the same time. A "good" family member who gets cancer deserves help, but why should they fund cancer care for those morally bankrupt <fill in the "other"> people?

    Apparently they have overactive amygdalas, among other issues, and a reduced ability to engage critical thinking towards their own beliefs.

    So, yes, they kind of are cult members. But they can't be easily deprogrammed, and even if we purged this lot, we would still end up with some cropping up again.

    Jump

  • I think the "to randomly stop people" is for decoration. They're actually describing the authoritarian personality disorder that makes someone want to be a cop. "The police need power" is the essence. And I say, fuck that! The police need boundaries, better judgement, and a shock or two to the system because I agree with another commenter, ACAB.

  • Keeping track of the conservatives will make it easy to identify the collaborators when the US invades. Then we can use them for disinformation and honeypots while we work our way through the enemy.

  • offer a better, fully fleshed out alternative

    is a bit of straw man. Offering a rough list of alternatives for discussion would be sufficient response to the question.

    you are allowed to say X is shitty on its own

    while true, this ignores that your original statement was challenging this choice over other possibilities. So yes, you can just say it's a shitty choice, but you (colloquially, at least) implied there exist better choices in your opinion. So it is reasonable to ask what those might be.

  • Whatever it is, it certainly seems to make conservative politicians get on their knees.

  • I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.

  • Kinda depends on the role. I mean, I am a GRC, privacy, and security specialist who is usually brought in to teach existing employees how to improve their security awareness, and I have been a consultant in the IT industry for over 25 years. So I usually come in not trusting the employer.

  • If your corporation is running windows 11, you can't be trusted to keep things malware free. If you're a corporation, you should also respect true capitalist behaviour, and if they can make a profit offshoring, what difference does it make. If, however, you provide robust, *nix based equipment, follow a disciplined SDLC, and are not a corporation, then I might a couple of highly disciplined, experienced systems analysts with a GRC and privacy focus who would love to learn more about you.

    Although you do open with the fact you don't trust your people, so, probably not.

  • Since ICE is known to murder American citizens, if you see ICE and you are an American citizen, it would be reasonable to fear for your life. Would it then not be required to use all reasonable means to protect yourself from the imminent threat of death? Don't you Americans have some kind of self-defense laws about that?

  • Instead of fining giant corporations, punish them by requiring them to provide a fixed percentage (not dollar amount) of voting shares to the judging government per violation. Too many violations and the corporation ends up a wholly owned subsidiary of whatever nations punish them. Shareholders will fight to make sure the corporations are compliant. Or, we end up with nationalized corporations, reduced shareholder capitalism, and fewer oligarchs.
