I didn’t say they were “all bad.” I said they lacked empathy and I wasn’t interested in being friends with them.

Conservative and progressive brains are different.

And one of those differences is empathy. https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/18/1/nsad029/7175525

Black reports that every Nazi concentration camp maintained its own Hollerith-Abteilung (Hollerith Department), assigned with keeping tabs on inmates through use of IBM’s punchcard technology.[2]: 351  In his book, Black charges that “without IBM’s machinery, continuing upkeep and service, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located on-site or off-site, Hitler’s camps could have never managed the numbers they did.”[2]: 352

I’m not sure that’s true. One side has empathy. The other does not. I don’t want to be friends with someone who doesn’t have empathy.

Yup. Idiots incapable of compromise, so they get nothing.

Snapper saved my ass so hard last night! I’ve tried all the other major distros and TW is where I stayed.

IBM sold “inmate” counting machines to Nazi Germany. Like, sent techs there to the camps to size up the requirements and everything. It should NOT come as a surprise that they’re back on X - they’ve never had an issue with Fascism (or any other ism) as long as they had money to spend on overpriced iron.

In Canada. If I get canned my severance is 1.5 years salary. (Based on length of emplyment.) It’s even better in Europe. It’s what happens when a country doesn’t flipflop between two right wing parties and actually has a party focused on the working class.

Omg, that’s hilarious!

Exactly. Always wondered what he was thinking the second time, lol!

Worked at IBM. Co-worker was in the datacenter, saw a bluescreened machine, and rebooted it. Much chaos ensued. Machine was part of a stability testing project, team running it was OTW to the DC to look at the machine, and were very confused when they arrived that it was running. “Helpful guy” was chastised, given a warning about touching machines that weren’t his responsibility.

Two weeks later. Same guy. Same machine. Same bluescreen. Guess what he did? He rebooted it. Again.

Walked to the door that day.

Do we need AI for this? It’s already super easy to tell fake news from real.

Is it on BBC/CBC/Routers/AP? It’s probably real.

Is it on Forbes/Facebook/Xitter? It’s probably garbage.

Doctorow is a gem. Great article, thanks for posting. I basically agreed with everything he said.

My point was that Kamala (and the dems) /also/ do evil, and thats why some morons didn’t vote.

But I absolutely agree that it’s orders of magnitude less evil than Trump.

Too true. :(

And the same morons will vote for PP here. Np brains, just slogans and anger.

They dehumanized themselves. Nothing wrong with recognizing that.

Leftist with brains did vote for her, because the recognized that the only other option was worse. Now we get worse because hardliners are too stupid to cope with the lesser evil. Morons.

Come on up to Canada. We’ve been suffering brain drain for ages, and could sure use some scientists and doctors!

Ya. I’m scared. It’s way closer than I was expecting. The US is fucked if Trump wins, along with Ukrain and Gaza.

I ate your bees!

They don’t care if we want it. They want the info it’ll give them. This isn’t for us, it’s for them.
