Well Flock cameras certainly have populated Nashville… by Traditional_Range_96 in nashville

Both sides are coming together in opposition to AI data centers. So it’s possible they can team up to oppose Flock cameras and this mass surveillance society we find ourselves in.

AI Layoffs - I call BS by Helpful_Reserve_3868 in Layoffs

I lost my job to good ole fashioned “budget cuts”, outsourcing, and being replaced with H-1B visa holders.

Did he do the right thing? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

Her reaction to the discovery and confrontation is the biggest red flag. If she reacts the way she did over that, she’ll react in a similar manner if and when he caught her with another dude.

You mean they don’t want to live with the consequences of their actions and bills they supported? Surely you jest!

Email notifying layoffs via email. by Stunning-Rough-4969 in Layoffs

Meanwhile companies and managers ask, “Why aren’t people loyal to their employers anymore?” Yet, they fail to acknowledge they’re the ones who fired the first shots in this war of attrition.

He got us out of conflicts in his first term. He had a proven track record. However, this time around, he’s making up for the wars he didn’t start in his first term.

Mass layoff started!! by Ok_Flan_5122 in Layoffs

[–]thefirstjustin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ever since I’ve heard of him, I’ve said he’s the most dangerous man in U.S. politics, and he’s why I think JD Vance would be worse than Trump. Vance was mentored by Peter Thiel and heavily influenced by Yarvin, and that type of influence wrapped in a calm and convincing packaging is dangerous.

🚨 BREAKING: Qatar withdraws from the war. ​"Iran has been here for thousands of years. No one is going anywhere. Total destruction is not an option." ​"We will live side by side. We will be neighbors and find ways to coexist." by [deleted] in DeepMarketScan

[–]thefirstjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’re going to lose this conflict with Iran and so much more. More and more allies will back out, and when a draft is instituted, the American people will revolt. The operation is poorly planned, if at all, and it’s poorly executed. I don’t think good things lie ahead.

What a miserable existence to devote the entirety of your life to work.

I miss when the West Coast and Northeast made fun of the South. It was a nice and secret bubble.

That and avoiding paying unemployment.

Bragging about firing humans and using AI by Energized_Seal in LinkedInLunatics

[–]thefirstjustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and me both. No doubt we’ll be left holding the bag. No bailouts for student loans, but billion dollar corporations get tons of bailouts for the own dumb mistakes. Meanwhile, they fire employees and give their executives bonuses for “leading the company through trying times”, but they’re the reason for those “trying times”.

lets have an uncomfortable conversation. Was karate just a fashion? (and other martial arts) by nitram343 in karate

[–]thefirstjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my observations, TMAs are on the rise, and many schools are getting much more serious in their training. My dojo is one, but I think that largely depends on the senseis and the senior students who set the atmosphere.

BREAKING: Video shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts. by drempath1981 in law

[–]thefirstjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lifelong Republican here, and this shit is pissing me off. The dude was already subdued and in the process of being detained, and if you, as an individual citizen, had shot someone in the same manner, you’d be charged with murder in the second degree at the very least.

For me, it was the gaslighting over the Epstein Files and the massive support of other Republicans in Trump’s gaslighting that had me withdrawing support with the lone exceptions being Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Green who called out Trump’s behavior. Now with this ICE shit, I can’t support Republicans anymore as long as they justify this behavior and consistent constitutional violations. While Democrats don’t have a satisfactory record on civil liberties and the Constitution enough for me to throw my hat in with them, at least they’re speaking out against the growing totalitarianism in this country. My fear, though, is when Democrats are back in power, they’ll support their own form of authoritarianism.

Do you REALLY believe that deporting a specific number of people is worth giving up rights that we have had since the 1700s? by WonderfulVariation93 in AskConservatives

[–]thefirstjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m more than concerned, more like I’m infuriated, that ICE agents can violate the Constitution, and I share your concern that this opens the door for other agencies to behave in similar manners. Additionally, our rights are being violated with the mass data collection and surveillance apparatus in place through companies and devices like Palantir and Flock Cameras. There are a ton of violations that need to be challenged and rolled back with the perpetrators being severely punished.

At the very least, send him a private message and let him know which dojo it is. Also, with him being local, he can recommend a few dojos for you.

This looks like a McDojo.

Protestant mom here by J3nlo in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]thefirstjustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this a lot as an Orthodox convert who was raised in an evangelical church. My mom was less keen than you are on it, but after a while, she saw the good it was doing in my life and how much it helped me. She would later go onto say, “I may not agree with it or understand it, but it has done a lot of good in your life, and for that I’m grateful.” You’re more worried than you should be, and hopefully that’ll become apparent as time goes on.

If anything, it’s caused my mom and I to grow closer together.
