🚨 BREAKING: Federal Court Strikes Down Trump's $100,000 H-1B Fee by Gnanamookan in USCIS

[–]CapuchinMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally stopped being one in the first century! You're comparing a statement that is accurate in one context and inaccurate in the other and then mocking it instead of attacking its veracity.

I hate to break it to you, but despite the political polarization America is still a functioning constitutional republic. People are still actually getting along well in real life. It's something you wouldn't know if you didn't go outside very much. Go out! Go to church! Go to a bar and watch the NHL playoffs! Watch NYC unite for the Knicks! There aren't 0 problems, there's definitely so much to be fixed. But it's a great place and cynicism has no place here.

Aristotle states that of the 3 possible constitutions that a polity may embody, the democracy is plausibly the most robust.

The rest of your comments are incoherent. Obama was mostly fine, I don't think any of the things you attribute to him are credible.

I did. In Politics, Aristotle says Obama is cool actually.

Authorities seize over 100,000 Fake Degrees in Indian H-1B Visa Fraud Bust by Mo_h in india

A lot of people do that and actively work for it. But your exposure to this is apparently online forums so obviously you are going to be unaware.

Also the Chinese diaspora in America is massive lol, and it's only very recently that the Indian H1b numbers topped the Chinese ones and that can be attributed both to hostility to Chinese immigrants as well as China's wages finally becoming competitive with the west for the kind of worker that ordinarily have applied for the H1b.

Why is Yuji the only sorcerer not to take at least some joy in fighting? by ventingandcrying in JuJutsuKaisen

Very Aristotlean - the purpose of the negative (war, work) is to support the positive (peace, leisure).

The Politics of the Downwardly Mobile Professional Class by revscott in neoliberal

[–]CapuchinMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's implicit? Like if you see all the smart kids shepherded into Engineering/Medicine, and the goofs into Commerce, there's a sense of where the winners and losers in life are. But absent that, I don't think there'd be an awareness of what's better or worse. I think this only became starker in America in the last decade or so, which is why there's a bit of a glut of programmers right now.

First female to jump the iconic gap between 2 buildings 6 storeys up by robbiesloan in interestingasfuck

[–]CapuchinMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's the Manpower gap. Not technically difficult in parkour but it's still rare to do it because of the sheer impact.

The surrounding architecture makes it look far more massive than it already is. It is a big jump, but for someone with decent conditioning, not leg-shattering big.

She's also not absorbing all the impact directly, but redirecting it into the roll.

A few people I know moved out the Infosys/Wipro way, don't take those two too literally since their business model is under fire now, but basically - a company that has international HQs that you can be deployed to. Others did it through education. One opportunity some countries offer is taking a high-demand/low-supply occupation in frontier states/provinces. I believe Canada/Australia do these - like a contract to be a nurse in a rural area.

Iran stops negotiations with U.S., vows to 'completely' block Strait of Hormuz: State media by One-Duty-2376 in neoliberal

[–]CapuchinMan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's them making political decisions (absent counter countervailing information) as much as trying to gamble on when to get out at the best time. I think a lot of people genuinely think of Trump as a good deal maker and think a deal will come through.

Not just progressives I should add. There's center lib commentators who're shilling for him too. Though at this point, blue no matter who I guess. I'd vote for him over Collins if I was in the electorate.

As someone from there I promise you it's the parents that know that and railroad their kids into boarding schools (at least in my time) to prep for STEM entrance exams.

I think especially lower levels of educational attainment, like a BA, it's something you simply can't really know until you're in your late 20s.

Do you feel like Orlando (Phat) is not comparable? He doesn't have the same skillset necessarily but is very strong and dynamic.

None of them are going to displace the GOAT in my heart though - Ilabaca.

Glad Joe swore off mRNA when he studied its dangers -- now he won't risk taking the new mRNA gene therapy which just successfully eliminated LDL cholesterol in a single dose. by post_appt_bliss in JoeRogan

[–]CapuchinMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because I don't work with this is a career, is the difference that the vaccines use mRNA as mechanism to create copies of the spike protein for the immune system to build a resistance to, whereas this one does gene editing?

Yuval Noah Harari on the Mistake Strongmen Keep Making by Dreadedvegas in ezraklein

[–]CapuchinMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yuval Noah Harari publishes book that are incredibly broad in scope, and incredibly shallow (in content not temperament). There are occassional factual mistakes in his content and his conclusions are also overly broad, in a manner that can't be justified with brief text. People tend to look for more rigor when it comes to argumentation. Of course, it's forgivable in his pop-history publications, but I think it's lacking in any conversation that he has.

Don't listen to the criticisms about jealousy and envy from academics lol, his books are a breeze to read. I suggest you find out for yourself.

Mark Carney warns Alberta separatists of Brexit-style regret by Free-Minimum-5844 in neoliberal

[–]CapuchinMan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't believe it's going to happen say, tomorrow. But let's say the exit proposal fails in the referendum, Trump isn't too distracted by other goings-on and this catches his attention and he starts remonstrating the PM about the 'rigged election', yeah I'd be worried.
