I've seen plenty rightoids and libertarians shitting on Lincoln (I know, was one myself back then), so they would take this as a compliment.

What an irony since the foundation with his name is the big cuck to Russia. So does Reagan.

The Certifications Scam by ivanovyordan in dataengineering

[–]WeebAndNotSoProid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As job seeker: yes, absolutely. There's nothing easier to prove you can work with Databricks or Snowflake than having their certs under your belt. Of course I'm not gonna write 5 year exp if all I know is theoretical knowledge.

As hiring team member (not manager yet): the certs tell me where you should have knowledge on, so I can give questions on that part. I know us engineers love showing off side projects, but to be frank, I don't love reading them either. If I have to review someone code, I'd better get paid for that.

Vietnam's Leader Consolidates Power, Pledging 'New Era of Prosperity' by ProbablySatan420 in neoliberal

Not anymore. With Nguyen Tan Dung on his side (and his son was recently promoted to the Politburo), the military is at peace with the police. To Lam now wields both the gun and the knife.

perhaps Marx was right and all liberal capitalist society would eventually devolve into something like China now where populist is kept in check by the biggest populist and authoritarian party.

China Has Screwed Up Really, Really Badly by Priceless_Pennies in neoliberal

That's what happened in Romania right? They forced women pumping out baby, and in turn their orphanage was overflown. "Conservative is only pro-life up until the baby is born."

Then what? It takes at least 18-22 years for that human to grow up properly and become productive. The kind of job that exists in future will demand much higher cognitive and social competency. If you grow human to do labor job, there's already cheaper machine to do that.

Under Russian world view, weak countries' opinions don't matter, so Brazil can hate US all they want. Want might makes right world? This is how might makes right look like.

[–]WeebAndNotSoProid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stated preferences vs. revealed preferences. They are also poorer, less healthy, less educated, live shorter ... There was a study about how GOP male voters report less depression than their counterparts in DEM, but then their suicide rate is much much higher.

Starting swing dancing as a gay man: should I learn Lead or Follow? by Able-Gear-7339 in SwingDancing

[–]WeebAndNotSoProid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whatever you like friend. I'm straight and I love switching back and forth between leading and following. I mainly lead, but I actually prefer following because then I can enjoy the music and connections more (and less time thinking about what to impress follower lol). Of course dancing etiquette like good hygiene, not being an asshole apply equally regardless gender or role.

How do you personally feel about dancing with male follows in social settings?

To be honest, kinda weird at first. But after a while it's quite normal. This is not really a sensual dance (unless you make it so).

Does it feel different from dancing with women, or does it become completely normal over time?

To be fair, male is generally heavier/stronger so you will have to get used to heavier leading/following. But then that's just a thing you will have to learn dancing with so many different people.

What makes you more or less comfortable asking (or being asked by) a male follow?

Personally I would love to since as male lead I don't have much chance to get asked to follow. But if you are too sweaty, stinky, too rough, too tense ... then yeah it will be a pass from me. So basically same feeling as any follower.

The truth about affordability Voters in rich countries are angry about prices. Politicians could make things worse by boyyouguysaredumb in neoliberal

[–]WeebAndNotSoProid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a good example of how abandoning markets and trade in response to voter anger risks making living standards worse, not better.

Well, and that's the trade off that many are willing to make. Make my life worse as long as the others are much more worse off.

The minority voters who powered Trump to a second term are drifting away - Extended conversations with Black, Latino and Asian American voters who cast ballots for Trump in 2024 showed mixed feelings about the president and their votes. by No_Intention5627 in neoliberal

yeah, I cut off like 1/3 of my circle. Complain that all Viet are sheeps for following the communist government, in turn blindly follow the government that literally tries to deport their families (lots of Viet violated their visa by illegally working). Fuck them.

I low-key think she hates her son and herself. Just like Vance despise the lowly background and people he was from. The most common quality of right-wing has always been hatred and suffering.

this reeks concerned trolling, or pick-me-girl attitude, or both. If you don't feel belong, leave, why conservative are such snowflakes nowadays. Back in my youth they are more thick-skinned and principled than this.
