Honestly, good. If you don’t like your job get another one, if there isn’t another one consider why that might be the case. Ruining the job/industry for future generations with unions or other bs isn’t the way to go

I mean some conspiracy theories are pretty stupid…

The profoundly sad thing about Ukraine is they’ve been losing ground over the last few years because they’re literally out of men. They have no more human bodies to throw at Russia.

Everything about this is deeply sad and frustrating, from a pointless invasion of Ukraine to the death of a generation

I wouldn’t go that far, I think he’s just an idiot

He'll probably win the primary, but he's liable to lose the state to a Democrat. Vivek seems like a smart guy, but he seems out of touch with rural america, his whole life has been hoping between Ivy league schools and billionaire investment meetings. The fact he's briefly owned a penthouse and office space in Cincinnati doesn't mean he understands what the average Ohioan wants

It’s only because we’re on scored that I know you’re joking, there are redditors who actually think that way

It’s because nobody has ever heard of government employees getting fired; they’ve only ever hired or increased wages

I mean it was clearly a joke, the other guy laughed.

That said, I don’t trust Dan, and it feels like his need to be liked by the main stream media has overridden his moral principles

I mean you can file for labor arbitration. I wouldn’t be surprised if political connects could get those cases thrown out, but they theoretically have recourse

That seems like a really good way to ensure you never get paid

Unrelated but I have never seen that word before, and had to google it to see whether it was a typo. Interesting

I can't tell if you're joking but you're right, it's just a screencap. It looks like it's true, happened almost two years ago though https://nypost.com/2023/03/24/miami-beach-braces-for-new-spring-break-chaos/

Edit: I linked the wrong Miami double homicide

It’s shocking and frightening that some people don’t know Nazi’s were big government socialists. You don’t crush political opponents and take over countries by reducing government spending and control

I mean he linked the video the post was talking about, just not the TIKHistory video (which, frankly, sounds kind of scuzzy).

Also while I want to make it clear Hitler is evil and I'm not absolving him of anything, the particular video he linked seems to be Hitler complaining about how the US won't take any jewish refugees, despite having 1/65th the population density. He then has gripes about treatment after WWI, such as holding soldiers as prisons long after the war ended.

I read "The Myth of the Twentieth Century" (by one of the nazi intellectuals) and it surprised me how "sophisticated" their racism was. They had nothing against most races, but they felt if they were to implement some form of socialist society, it would rely on everyone being equal. Rosenberg looked at India and remarked how it should be a world-class country, but the caste system created a system of oppression that inhibited the countries culture and in turn its economy. Instead of being creative, people had to spend their lives oppressing lower castes, and lower castes couldn't contribute meaningfully.

To be very clear I'm not saying Hitler isn't evil, or that he is absolved of anything, just that he didn't convince the most educated country in the world to vote for him by being evil. There was a certain amount of sophistication to his logic, and any given Nazi would likely have a reasonably complete argument as to why they were on the good side of history.

I will add the quality of the AI translation is incredible. It sounds like it's recorded on a mic from the period, and it has his voice.

I haven’t seen the video, but I assume the argument here is that 1) the live-English videos are more interesting to watch now, and 2) the English translations were translated in such a way to make Hitler sound lame, while AI is providing more accurate translations

Even before clearing his store, he was selling sweatpants for $20; he used to sell them for hundreds of dollars each. I suspect something is fundamentally different now and he's not making much money before the stunt

I agree with everything else though

I agree, building a reasonably useful storefront from scratch would take a couple engineers a couple months, and that's assuming you use a payment processor like Stripe. Even when using spotify, Kanye made a custom UX which probably cost a non-trivial amount.

I think sometimes we forget how much of cancel culture/censorship partially just revolves around sales. A lot of people are only cancelled when they stop making money or lose their popularity, and partly why lgbt groups are so beloved by companies is because they're highly responsive to ads (or at least were during my brief time in marketing).

Kanye dropped the price of his products to like $20 each, I'm betting they were selling terribly and he was trying to dump stock

As happy as I am they did this, I can't help but wonder if it's in part because they can't monetize ads on steam lol.

It will cut down on people producing iOS games and then uploading them to steam for seemingly no reason though which is nice

I was thinking that too. Before he took the rest of the site down, he was selling sweatpants for $20. Demand must have really been falling off lol

I’m pretty sure Rumble is a Canadian company, they’re headquartered in Toronto at the very least

Edit: it’s headquartered in Canada but the CEO and founder (Chris) posted this and has a US headquarters in Florida. I’m going to assume he knows more than I do since he’s CEO lol

It's incredible someone can type that out without seeing the hypocrisy in their words. The outlets can't be independent so long as governments are funding them to say things

I mean it’s likely a coincidence; I would be shocked if they kept so little cash on hand that missing a single month’s revenue would send the company into bankruptcy. That said, I would expect to see a couple layoffs from the end of the payments
