I’m disappointed by the lack of Whose Line Is It Anyway references in this thread :(

“everything’s made up and the points don’t matter”

Product owner is responsible for making sure the product meets customer needs. Project manager is responsible for making sure the project is completed on time and meets the requirements that are defined by the PO.

Oh dear God. Not everything is racism , you know

Sometimes it’s just ignorance.

Spain supported Germany in WWII. It was a fascist dictatorship until 1975. And last I checked, it is in Europe.

“Mexican” isn’t an ethnicity, and there are a lot of families in Latin America that can trace their entire family tree back to Spain. They aren’t the ones being deported.

The analogy doesn’t check out.

Fuentes is a Spanish name.

Spain is a country in Europe.

Spain supported Nazi Germany in WWII.

I’m not getting your Goldberg analogy…

Not if it’s for oil based paints.

While true, those companies all have solid revenue streams that aren’t directly related to AI. If a bubble pops they’ll all suffer, but all of them were profitable before the AI boom and can survive without it. It’s very different from the dot bubble because that was driven by speculation and many companies weren’t making any profit back then.

Did you know you can be exposed to other cultures without leaving the country? You did a good job of pointing out why travel alone doesn’t make people more open minded, but you didn’t touch on the opportunities Americans have to connect with other cultures without leaving their own country.

Prioritizing short term profit when running s business is destructive and long term stupid for the business. But some people make a lot of money by buying companies and running them into the ground, so I don’t think it’s technically “pointless.”

Democrats don’t, but the progressives who caucus with Democrats do.

If we aren’t just talking about this specific instance and instead we’re talking about her attitude in general, is that really the attitude we want to see in progressive politicians?

Aren’t the progressives all on board with forcing the files to be released?

Yes.

You aren’t going to find that in every industry/career. Not sure what other advice I can give, but if I was in that situation I’d be looking for a career/field that uses a similar set of skills but has a better culture.

This argument is usually followed by the racist dog whistle “it’s unfortunately our demographic”

I’ve mostly seen it followed up by criticism about American culture and lack of access to healthcare, specifically mental health.

It feels like less and less big artist are less vocal against what is happening. They will speak or make a post but their music is still the same ol same ol.

My point is that artists who are vocal don’t make as much profit for the record labels as they used to, so they’re not being promoted as much as they used to. RAtM only became as big as they are because they were profitable for Sony. Ironic, isn’t it?

How many indie punk bands do you listen to? In the 80s and 90s counter culture and anti-establishment is what sold music, and that’s why bands like Rage were able to go mainstream. Producers and promoters don’t support bands like that anymore because they know they won’t make as much profit.

Yeah, pretty much

I see the point the author is trying to make, but they conveniently left out a major counter example: the last Biden/Trump debate was such a disaster that Biden had to drop out of the race.

Most of your criteria for deciding whether to interact with someone seems to be based on their ethnicity, native language, age, or gender.

noun One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
