You might be surprised. I sent out approximately 1200 applications in 2024 while unemployed for nine months, and with over thirty interviews, I only got a single offer, which was M…

How can we even call it aggression for China to act in the China Sea? We are the ones bringing guns half-way around the world to their doorstep. This is US aggression, and we have …

The problem I'm concerned about is that by subsidizing security for some companies, and presumably mostly the big existing ones, we're effectively penalizing all of the competing c…

It feels really terrible that the FBI is consuming vast amounts of our tax money to help idiotic American corporations from leaking secrets. If those companies are so lax in securi…

If you as a hiring manager have the choice to pick between two candidates, one of whom stays cool and productive under pressure, and the other who goes blank in emergencies, which …

Cold kills 4.6 million human beings annually, while heat kills only around 450k. There is nothing scary here to cope with.

I am more nervous about the current state of humanity. In 2020, 98.2% of the country voted for political parties which explicitly endorse via congress military occupations of over …

Natural disasters generally do represent temporary collapses of society.

I don’t agree with Pilger that the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were unjustified, but his points about China are valid. What do we gain by instigating war now?

“Give me liberty or give me death” were founding words of our country. If you don’t believe our commitment to liberty and freedom was important, then what else made America the #1 …

Why do you think you can speak for “hard-core” libertarians? I am a thoroughly moderate one and don’t believe this at all

The globe might feel stable while sitting inside the US and reading domestic media sources, but it sure hasn’t been easy for the dozens of countries we’ve been invading/occupying f…

Have you ever spoken to a Chinese? They have their own good intentions too. Besides that, why do you always trust that our governments’s label of “terrorist” is never self-serving …

Thanks for posting this, I now have a new opinion on climate change :)

This is pure speculation. Meanwhile, our government is actively invading and occupying how many countries?

I'm pretty sure this is just a subset of Intrusive Thoughts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thought ) which affect all people equally.

China's actions seem horrendous from our perspective, but at least they are only operating within their own borders. How do you feel about the decades of war and destruction wreake…

Could you please source this claim? A quick google search is revealing a lot of contrary evidence.

Yes, definitely. It might be a different situation if Japan also had military bases inside our country, or if they had any choice in the matter. Do you think Japan, Germany, or Sou…

If I follow you around with a gun held to your head, is it fair to characterize you as my ally?

Looks like the new GTX 970/980 can push 4k at 60hz through these with HDMI 2.0, it's a very exciting combo

I disagree with the very premise; why go out of your way to encourage bad behaviour? I stand for freedom of information and will avoid New Yorker from this point forward.
