Excuse for layoff. What I hear from the article is a CEO, who himself is not a grown up, crying me, me, me, my company, my profit, selfish behavior without any concern for his employees who have largely contributed to his startup success.
Drinking red wine from a wine glass as they were making a right turn (US) on a 40 mph street.
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.
Whether he runs again is not the right question. The council for national policy, an extreme right organization, is behind trumpism, supreme court justices trump nominated, and project 2025 which has been around since Reagan era but with different names. They will choose a different candidate as their wrecking ball who is younger and as fiery, unethical, without principles and an “outsider” as trump represent. Whether it’s JD Vance or someone else.
I bang my head of the keyboard so it’s random.

Vote. You don’t have to vote for Biden or Trump, you can write in a vote or choose a third party or independent candidate on the ballot, if your State allows it. Not for the reason of making practical change, because it won’t in a two party system, but to show the analytics, media, the ruling power that you don’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Anyone that says otherwise does not know what democracy means and supports a broken system through enabling. Local votes ate more important IMO, always vote for that. The more informed you are, the less likely you are to support a broken system.

Having 36G breasts, does it cause back pain? If so, how do you manage it?
Backrooms, especially the scary kinds
Why not also go after these software companies for allowing such images to be generated. i.e allowing AI generated images of naked bodies on uploaded images to real people.
You absolutely can go have lunch elsewhere. I’ve been in similar situation. If asked, you can simply tell them, I enjoy having lunch by myself, it helps me recharge. Also, most of the time, boundaries are set through action not only words. Just do what you prefer without the concern of what others will think or feel, while being polite with your words. Most people will pick up on you actions and eventually leave up be. I’ve had serious boundary issues in my family and I’ve had to learn quite a bit about forming proper sustainable boundaries.
Never ever trust a corporation. In case of Adobe, they don’t give a shit about your creative work. That’s not what they are in business for. They are in business to increase revenue and reduce expense, by any means necessary. Just like all corporations. Their customers are but a product for them that they can manipulate how they see fit. Capitalism demands profit over people. Never trust a corporation.
A Wells Fargo spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company “holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior.”
Says an unethical piece of shit corporation that secretly opened millions of unauthorized accounts of their customers to collect bogus fees, appease their shareholders and financial status.
Were the executives fired? No. Were they jailed for financial fraud? No.
A pattern that camouflages me from the threats of corporate greed and Capitalism as a whole.
No one is going to opt-in to having screenshots taken of their activities on the OS. If no one opts-in then it will hinder Microsoft’s original plan of collection such data for copilot. Along comes the new marketing language to soften the approach and they still collect data.
This, unfortunately, is a very individualistic view. We as a society must strive to be a collective and bring prosperity and success to the mass and not the few at the cost of the masses.
This can only happen if we all work together to change the governance and economic systems in our individual countries. It has nothing to do with being a martyr for your country or national pride. It has everything to do with working to bring a better world for us and the future generation.
We can do this, by organizing, educating, and agitating. Joining local organization around this cause is a great start.
Israel means nothing, nor does the US, UK, Russia, etc. These are simply labels created through territorial disputes, nationalism, imperial and colonialism. No one owes anything to these silly labels and their entitlements and propaganda. But, it is only rational that we work to make our own communities a better place by ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity and the wealth generated belongs to us not the few who want nothing more than to keep the status quo. Leaving the community behind for your own better future is self-serving and individualistic view. The notion of only look out for yourself, individualism, is a recent phenomenon in human history, a symptom of the first industrial revolution and capitalism.
Yes, do what makes you happy and live your life the way you want, but not at the cost of the struggle of your community and society at large.
First, I’m so sorry about you and your brother’s upbringing. No child should have to go through this. You have made a miraculous life from the short hand you were dealt with.
As for your brother, he did not make the difficult life choices to get out of his childhood victimization. Unfortunately, he struggles if his own relationships and his violent and disruptive behavior towards those who care for him is a reflection of your parent’s relationship.
Having said this, you, under no obligations, have to continue to help or reconnect with him. He needs psychological help, just as you have been receiving. The US criminal justice system, does not care about your brother’s mental health. We all have to face our demons to get better. There is no way around it. You have tried to help your brother, your mother may have tried to help your brother abd in return, you both now fear for your self and you family. This is you signal to step away. If you don’t, it may get worse. Step way and know that you tried. Step away and disconnect for your family’s sake.
