Countries do not have a right to exist, particularly not if they want to exist on some other people’s land. Furthermore, why doesn’t this apply to a state for Palestinians having a right to exist? Not that I want that, it is doomed to fail like Pakistan and India. They all need to learn to get along and give people equal rights

Freelancing rates does not mean income. Your actual take home pay would be much less, after taxes, insurance, unbilled time

Alright, I get that. Interesting how this one comment got singled out tho

Oh come on, this one’s funny. Those downvotes. Did you really think this person was MAGA for a silly joke?

ACHOO!

Fuck them polls in the air…

I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.

I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment

Would you still love me if I were a worm home?

This should be charged as a hate crime or incitement

Seeing opportunities everywhere. The same underlying mechanism is at work here as with challenge: Let’s replace the word for this bad thing with a different word that means something similar but positive. And then it looks like something good! I am very smart

Totally forgot about that.

There’s a lot of it, so yeah. If vegan cheese reaches the point where it’s basically indistinguishable from dairy cheese, a lot more people will become vegan. Maybe price is also a factor but most vegan cheese is plain bad in my experience

Think worker vs shareholder, not just rich vs poor. Never take a job for less, always negotiate, or you’re only leaving more money for the owners

Germany is backsliding particularly hard with their support of Israel meaning heavy crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations. It’s shameful

What about Organic Maps?

This week?

Temple Grandin (2010) - Very good as far as biopics go

The Great Dictator (1940) - Had never actually watched the whole thing, it was better than I expected. Powerful speech at the end. Mussolini hilariously done. Striking to know that this movie predates the worst that the Nazis would do to the Jews

Cyrano (1990) - Blown away by Depardieu’s performance. This is a phenomenal version of a classic story. Best version I’ve seen so far, including the plays of this I’ve been to
