I think I might still have some of these laying around somewhere. Good times.

It's good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than "stop supporting Israel". People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.

There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.

Lemmy users don't understand nuance. "Israel bad" is all they understand.

There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

I'll believe it when I stop getting only rejection letters for entry level jobs.

The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.

When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…

When people are incapable of understanding nuance...

I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.

This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.

Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.

Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.

 

In the two years I've been writing about Americans' changing relationship to work, there's one theme that's come up over and over again: loyalty. Whether my stories are about quiet quitting, or job-hopping, or leveraging a job offer from a competitor to force your boss to give you a raise, readers seem to divide into two groups. On one side are the bosses and tenured employees, the boomers and Gen Xers. Kids these days, they gripe. Do they have no loyalty? On the other side are the younger rank-and-file employees, the millennials and Gen Zers, who feel equally aggrieved. Why should I be loyal to my company when my company isn't loyal to me?

I knew it would happen again the other month, when I was reporting on white-collar workers who secretly juggle multiple full-time jobs. Overemployment, as the phenomenon is known, violates society's implicit norms of loyalty to one's employer more flagrantly than anything else I've encountered. But when I asked these overemployed professionals whether they felt bad that they were essentially cheating on their bosses, they were unapologetic. "My parents told me, 'Don't switch companies, grow in one company, be loyal to one company, and they'll be loyal to you,'" one guy told me. "That may have been true in their days, but it definitely isn't today anymore."

 

On Windows 10, I often have a problem where the laptop will charge and then stop charging and then charge again with one second intervals. I've updated the firmware to the latest version and the issue persists. I'm not sure if this is caused by the charger, internal hardware, or is a Windows bug.

Anyone else experience this?
