The irony of strict immigration laws being pushed by right wing politics would mean a hard working resident, contributing to community for all his life, will get deported on next arrest and get no recognition from the US because misrepresenting yourself as a US citizen is almost an automatic bar on citizen application in current courts.
I ‘upvote’ more or less all posts I interact with (sometimes I forget to vote). I feel like we should bring back open dialogues and heavily dissuade people from simply disregarding someone’s entire belief system or ideals based on 200 characters of text (an example)....
Because the websites don't police content, there are no rules. This requires a far higher exercise of self discipline when engaging with Internet posts, which many forgo with the anonymity of the Internet and lazy thinking. In other words, there is no constraint to "debate" and ultimately, no agreement what people are even talking about.
Extract what you feel is useful, but only under a critical eye.
John Riccitiello, CEO of Unity, the company whose 3D game engine had recently seen backlash from developers over proposed fee structures, will retire as CEO, president, and board chairman at the company, according to a press release issued late on a Monday afternoon, one many observe as a holiday.
There is no pressure from the right, so why would he? The right are ready to burn everything down, just to own the libs. It's not about policy or national security anymore.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an interview that aired Sunday that he would resign if asked by President Joe Biden to take action against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. But he doesn’t think he’ll be put in that position....
Not good. Biden should fire him, he's not the man for the job.
This is exactly what's wrong with picking the moderates, as soon as they're forced out of their ethical comfort zone, they just quit. We saw happen across the broad when Trump took office.
If you're just going to be a paper pusher, go be some deputy position. Whoever is in charge needs to have a vision of what the agency will become.
The only acceptable answer is "I will lead the DOJ to pursue all credibily evidence. POTUS has no say." Resigning is for a loser, fight for justice.
On one hand, I know personally how frustrating it is you know the data is in there somewhere, why can't anyone in the company extract it. On the other hand, can't we just keep calling them SMEs instead. No one doing real work has time to get acquainted with these titles.

Fresno, California, has become the second city in the U.S. to ban caste discrimination, after the City Council voted unanimously on Thursday to incorporate two new protected categories into its municipal code....
That's more due to lack of women rights and cultural of discrimination. There is little resources and alternative for many of the women in arranged marriage. Just because cultural and societal road blocks married prevent divorce, doesn't mean it's a better.
The marriage assumptions has been debunked as linking to happiness. You should just look directly at human rights indexes and happiness survey instead.
Unless your whole ideology was people must marry, then that's a different discussion.
WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Hardline Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday rejected a bill proposed by their leader to temporarily fund the government, making it all but certain that federal agencies will partially shut down beginning on Sunday....
Partially the system, too. One round of voting of first past the post (50% + 1) has know flaws of concentrating power into two masses. Once power is concentrated those in charge come up with ideas to entrench their position and stop governing.
Switch to rank choice voting is a no brainer to start at all levels of election.
A 12-month-year using this system has 354 days, which would drift significantly from the tropical year. To fix this, traditional Chinese years have a 13-month year approximately once every three years. The 13-month version has the same long and short months alternating, but adds a 30-day leap month (閏月; rùnyuè). Years with 12 months are called common years, and 13-month years are known as long years.

Just to point out, latest research shows productivity is a wash. Essentially, experienced workers saw productivity boost, while new hires since WFH have shown low productivity growth over the last 3 years. The leading theory is experience sharing that happened in person, in a casual manner, had a much larger impact in growing the company talent over longer terms.
Firms need to adapt to keep their talent competitive. Some firms choosing to go back to office is just one strategy.
If you're the game director and had so little sway to the producers /publishers, then you're nothing but a "yes man" figure head. Maybe go back to dev, the executive role isn't for you.
Otherwise, the only excuse is you initiated all these changes and you are completely out of touch with your customers.
LOL. To put that in perspective, let imagine it's some $100,000 annual pay worker. This means Facebook just added 365 employees to their ranks, if they ignored this order completely.
They fire and hire people in the thousands, the penalty is a joke of scale.
Isn't timing of this recording when company was at 50 people? Think they haven't gotten to full HR services yet, just HR for payroll and admin. Linus and Yvonne probablyb still handled staff issues directly. Not ideal, but not unexpected.
