Working hands, ability to type characters into keyboard.

It’s been relevant for all of human history, silly

Lol you’re insane if you think this changes anything for anyone anywhere

Lemmy != Average america either…dominated by Americans but a very specific set.

His full title is actually: his excellency, rapist in chief, pedophile plenipotentiary, amorphous adulterer, freelance felon, the dishonorable Donald Jerkface Trump.

Gross, almost worse than republicans

Noone said harassing or witch hunt, just figuring out who is a Russian bot

When you’re driving, it’s better than Indiana or Kentucky or west Virginia, as well as being on par with western PA. So it’s part of a gradient of shittiness.

Fuck your “both sides” bullshit

There was a poll posted indicating 70% of those surveyed view united health care’s CEO as “kind of asking for it”, not that uncommon.

True, maybe he sang to them a bit. Hypothesis: the seeds of fascism will grow faster if you play them country music vs a control set.

You have to pass the right gatekeepers to be Marxist because if there’s one thing Marxists don’t want is people on their side who don’t necessarily agree with 100% of every economic idea from one dude a century ago… Apparently

They’re just a troll

Don’t feed the troll

Stfu putibot

To be fair he put down the seeds of trumpiness.

Amusing that Russia is the one taking off the mask. Feels like the government of Israel is the one who took off the mask and revealed a regime of genocidal fascists. Putin took that mask off years back.

Fox news

I’ll break the flow of shitting on Elon (a hobby of mine, but it gets old) and say yes, we have a large number of engineers. Yes, a lot of them suck real hard. Good ones are often promoted to the level of their incompetence, others are just well-polished incompetents who know how to talk the talk. So…yes, there is a shortage. However adding more to the pool won’t fix the bad hiring and promotion practices in the industry.

Also, doesn’t really matter if there’s a bunch in the Midwest if you can’t convince any of your existing staff to uproot to some racist pro-trump place with extreme temperatures (assuming you want some level of in person interaction). Texas is only palatable because the place they’re moving is Austin which is…not quite as racist. And tech bros have never had a reputation for being pro women which of course Texas is not.

You hate immigrants because you’re a racist

They hate H1B immigration because it allows people like Elon to freely set up sweatshops of smart immigrants who have built a home in this country and now have their chance to keep living in that home tied to the random whims of a billionaire.

Not the same.

The H1B system in concept is great but it’s ripe for abuse by men like Elon. One I’m aware of is that paperwork is way behind on the gov side and it’s kind of a lottery (will our coworker be here in the fall? Let’s spin the wheel!). Another is that larger companies can from what I understand put in a request for many more spots than they need and since it’s a lottery be fairly confident they’ll get the spots they really wanted, while small companies have to suffer at the whims of chance. And I’m no expert on this but I’d say another key area that sucks is its just a bizarre design by committee system. As Americans we want to steal other countries best and brightest and H1B is like a DMV version of that goal.
