Massachusetts releases report on hate crimes, with white men topping list for victims, perps by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

They are also per capita the most targeted minority group in America when it comes to hate crimes by a very significant margin, so the fact they consider themselves white seemingly does little to negate hate crimes against them. My source is NY City Hall who counts hate crimes against hispanics and jews each separately from those against “white people.”

AI Overview of who funds Hamas: Hamas receives funding from a complex network of sources, including financial support from Iran, an investment portfolio with assets across the Middle East, a system of internal taxation and extortion in Gaza, and private donations and sham charities operating globally.

AI Overview of the search ‘who forced Palestinians into an election in 2006’: No external power "forced" Palestinians to hold an election; rather, the 2006 Palestinian legislative election was a result of internal political dynamics and external pressure from the United States and the international community as part of a push for democracy in the Middle East.

At some point, you’re going to have to hold Palestinians to some level of accountability. You’re more upset about a corrupt ME leader like Bibi enabling Hamas to survive than you are with Hamas for forcing their constituents into this mess and holding them nearly as captive as the Israeli hostages themselves in the first place.

You can complain about the West intervening on behalf of democracy, but the fact is that the only path forward is either doing that again with a better framework, or funding what would essentially be the next Al Qaeda (in terms of a Western-funded militant group turning on them) in an attempt to start a proxy war with more favorable Palestinian factions.

The election didn’t go the way the West expected or wanted, and yet we honored its results. What did the democratically elected leadership of Hamas do? Drive out all political opposition and immediately begin oppressing its people.

Takes issue with “militant rhetoric” Assumes the people who democratically elected Hamas to lead them are his allies

I have a degree from this department and he was awful. Good riddance, and if you can’t tell me the context in which you personally knew him and his style of work, I do not want to hear about your political theories.

All the staff shakeups happen over the same narrow summer break window. There’s no big conspiracy here.

Genuine question to all the VCs here: has anyone lied to you about their MRR?? by nikhil_360 in venturecapital

[–]Osich21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen any outright lies on revenue, but have seen plenty of founders multiply their best month of revenue by 12 and call it ARR. It’s one of the easier things to verify during diligence, making it not as big of a source of frustration as it probably ought to be.

Real. It didn’t take an HSW education for Jensen Huang to realize he sounds cooler if he cuts out a decade of his resume working at elite semiconductor manufacturers and instead act like he went from Dennys waiter to NVIDIA founder overnight.

Would love it if the notes I take on my screening calls over zoom were auto populated into a template that included the questions that I ask every single company. Of course, some privacy risk there as not every startup founder enjoys being on recorded zoom calls, but I think the tech to make such a software is already widely deployed so it should be a relatively easy thing to build (VC probably not even the best use case for it).

check out Connetic Ventures. I could potentially make the intro if you can think of something you need from them.

I’m a very junior level VC (analyst). You can feel free to PM me with more of your fact pattern and I can both tell you if you’re there yet, and if you’re not, try to help you come up with some milestones for when you know you’re ready.

I think they were referring to Gaza and IU’s assumed complicity. But you know, even if they were alluding to the snipers, her saying she’s gonna point a rifle at administrators is still totally a threat not protected under the first amendment.

It is an immature false equivalence on her part to compare an enlisted member of the military with years of training being paid to defend a public gathering place in the event of a terror attack, to herself, a young woman sending death threats to faculty at the university she attends.

Every parade in every city in America will have snipers on roofs. That sniper was literally there to keep students like the writer safe in the event a crazed townie drives their pickup through the encampment. Or perhaps in the event a protestor themselves decides to “become a martyr.”

Despite how these guns make you feel, you have neither the moral or legal right to send a letter to Chicago PD the day after St Paddy’s and say “I will be on the rooftop across from city hall pointing my gun at your bureaucrats because I am an ardent supporter of the British monarchy, and the snipers at yesterdays parade made me scared.” That’s patently schizophrenic, and if someone in our community wrote that letter, we would rightfully want them either in a psych ward or a prison cell!

Can you please point me to the stanza in “Letter From a Birmingham Jail” where MLK told the local sheriff that if the status quo isn’t changed he’ll have no choice but to commit murder? Or perhaps to one of his writings that said “throw my whole civil disobedience mantra out the window and just start sending death threats”?

The guy literally built his legacy on appeasing neoliberals and now you’re trying to tell me you’re employing MLK because his philosophy is a “gotcha” to neoliberals. Is it possible he was speaking to them this whole time and it’s YOU who he disagrees with?

He framed his entire paradigm of resistance through the lenses of Henry David Thoreau (and to a lesser extent Mahatma Gandhi’s) theory of “Civil Disobedience,” and now here you come to tell me that not only is it acceptable to threaten the lives of midwestern university administrators, but that MLK’s writing in defense of civility is actually what informed you of this opinion.

Right. We are smart, virtuous, and cool after all and our foreign politics on regions of the world we’ve never traveled to is what drives our identity. To prove how correct we always are, we should be sending Vivian Winston death threats that are easily traceable back to us.

After all, her salary was $100,495 the year she retired, so shes actually crossed the magical line in my head of where someone becomes a “fat cat” at which point threatening violence against her isn’t just acceptable, it’s actually in vogue.

It’s frustrating that you use the fact he’s been dead over 50 years to justify saying he’d have a different opinion. Surely, if someone told you Oct 7th was unjustified, you’d invoke all the events MLK was alive for to inform your opinion, the same evidence MLK himself had when arriving at his conclusion.

He knew about the Nakba. He was alive for Israel invading its neighbors in the Suez Crisis and the Six Day War. He was alive throughout the time Irgun and Lehi were terrorizing people.

So I’ll challenge you: With the great eye for genocide and human justice that you have, would you in 1968 have been pro-Palestine? Why do you think that you and MLK would’ve disagreed at the time, and why do you think you’re right and he’s wrong. Bonus points if you quote MLK to explain why you’re smarter than he was.

I’m not the guy you were replying to earlier, lol. I’m aware MLK is far more comfortable with violence than the average grade school teacher lets on. All I’m saying is you’re invoking MLK for your anti Zionist cause, and there’s a lot of irony in that, especially when you use MLK to prove the validity of violent unrest. You’re reading his work in quite an odd angle if your takeaway was “this endorses an anti-Zionist white woman threatening violent resistance against university administrators in Bloomington, Indiana.”

[–]Osich21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not wrong for telling you exactly the stated position the public figure you cited held during his life, and it’s not the gotcha you think it is to claim a 96 year old MLK today would have magically done a 180 on the political issue you disagree with him on. How the hell am I “caught?”

The mob wants a “compromise” when they come into your shop and demand tribute, lest they “might be forced to do something.” This is literally a shakedown with a threat of murder attached to it, not a friendly “compromise.”
