1 minute ago, Willfully Horn said: Shocked. Well, not that shocked that right wing accusations crumble before scrutiny.
the shithead who dropped this turd of a "story" has also been heavily featured on russian state TV for his disinformation efforts in Ukraine, and was even setting up fake photo ops to stir up racial hatred during the 2024 election

Pro-Trump influencers fire up fears of migrant 'invasion'...
While it is difficult to quantify the influencers' impact on the debate, immigration is a top election issue for voters and a central plank of Trump's campaign to reclaim the presidency.He acts just like every other right wing shithead too and backpedals and claims victimhood if you call him out over it too. I wonder what his surly handle is

Pretty disgusting disinformation at work, and the kremlin stooge is being amplified by our Vice President. It's wild how he's straight up using the fox news defense of "this isn't news, it's entertainment", while russia's state television ran wild with his story and footage
he even does the classic claim of victimization for

37 minutes ago, Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand said: "A south Minneapolis day care that caters to the Somali community reports that someone broke through a wall and stole sensitive documents early Tuesday morning, heightening fear in the community.
The break-in at Nokomis Daycare Center, which is run by Somali owners, occurred between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. several days after right-wing influencer Nick Shirley posted a video on Youtube alleging fraud at Somali-owned day care centers in Minnesota. Nokomis Daycare Center’s manager, child care providers and parents spoke at a news conference Wednesday morning, saying the video targeted the Somali community and prompted a federal freeze in assistance for Minnesota child care centers."

Somali-owned daycare in south Minneapolis burglarized
Nokomis Daycare Center in south Minneapolis reports that someone broke in and stole documents Tuesday, days after Nick Shirley’s YouTube video about fraud went viral.This is just stochastic terrorism now. Of course, incredulity enjoys the gold bull

Impressive, Corsair has been cancelling people's orders left and right and then marking the item up 25-40%. If they did that to any EU customers their consumer protections are gonna whack Corsair pretty good.
Wild how consumers are just getting fucked over for fun now. I mean, they always were, but it's remarkably worse than it's been for as least as long as I've been alive

I mean, before you clarified it seemed like you were arguing "we need to play along with their grievances to get them to listen to us" given that's the author's thesis. In another context, he would be saying we should take Jan6'ers seriously because enough of them believed the lie and well shucks we should just accept it

You personally are at a huge disadvantage relative to what I experienced in the tech industry- not because I was a white male- and we had lots of south asians and East Asians then as well, but because the rules were different, the economy was different, the tax code was much more equitable, and there was more opportunity to achieve your way up in the world than there is today.
Yes, I'm familiar with the Millennial Curse. Don't forget the crippling debt coming out of college that our parents didn't have to take on, either!
25 minutes ago, Bozo_Casanova said: Efforts to address underrepresention didn’t cause that, but it hasn’t prevented it, so it’s easy for someone who lacks opportunity to blame a coincident phenomenon the way you gently but partially blame the presence of south asians.
I'm not "blaming" I'm observing objective reality. Getting out competed is capitalism at work, and it turns out that fratbro buddies can't help you skip the line like their daddies did. It's a combination of factors, but for some reason this author and the entire right wing movement focus on race and the "unfairness" of undoing systemic biases. A diverse workforce is strategically important, and gives teams a better base of experience to make better decisions. A diverse workforce means undoing the previous systemic fuckups that led to white folks being significantly overrepresented.
It's just that the change coincides with oligarchs squeezing their fist ever tighter, so it's easy to do the whole "hey mate that foreigner wants your cookie" schtick.
32 minutes ago, Bozo_Casanova said: It’s like the tech bro thing- people who aren’t in tech think everyone is a baller financially, and don’t realize that tech today is the modern equivalent of the auto industry in the 60’s: a mature industry with a middle class workforce with good jobs but limited career options, and a tiny group of supercompensated equity holders at the top.
Except the auto industry wasn't solely responsible for economic growth in the 60s, and they weren't driving up prices for consumers across the board (electric, water, and commodity) with their reckless debt spending

Please elaborate. Are we not just in a class war that's being sold as a race war to get the chuds on the oligarch's side? The whole op-ed was a poor-me from a guy who was embittered over getting his script turned down.
I'm a millennial white male that started working in 2014 and have been with BigTech for almost the last decade. It's not affirmative action keeping whitey down, it's being out worked and out hustled by south Asian folks. And yes, in some cases, there are absolutely situations where white folks are put at a disadvantage due to social ties. But hell, isn't that just the shoe going onto the other foot?

It's always fun to see a store of value have 20%+ volatility in a year. Plus all the new scam outlets have really been a boon to the crypto ecosystem for pulling in more dumb money

Scammers notched $333 million from bitcoin ATM scams in 2...
The FBI says fraudsters in 2025 bilked Americans out of more than $333 million with ruses perpetrated using bitcoin ATM machines. -
30 minutes ago, wildcat09 said: I suggest you don't try to go about that by telling disaffected white men that the Republicans are right about the Democrats ruining their lives.
For real, bozo is talking out of both sides of his mouth here.
"Progressives drove away the masses with their over eager progressivism"
"Progressives just need to keep doing the same thing, they'll totally get different results"
Really strange to see people so eager to denigrate any and every non white man as the reason for all of their problems, rather than just calling out the class war we all are enjoying.

Counterpoint: there's more than enough to go around, and plenty of room in society. We just prefer to concentrate our wealth into the hands of a select few oligarchs

4 minutes ago, scramblyn said: But holy hell POTUS pro Russia one day, support a massive covert intelligence campaign that is the lynch pin of Ukraine’s success the last 9-12 months.
it's almost like he just agrees with whoever he talked to last or something. I'd bet there would be ample reporting if that were the case

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
in Daily Texan
In fairness, the end of that game was a boondoggle. They brought the stage and trophy onto the field three times because everyone thought the game was over and the refs really fucked it all up, as they had been all 4Q
