As someone with first hand experience growing up in the country, you could not be more wrong.

I’m point out establishment liberals that ARE listening to progressives, or are progressives themselves.

Because you’re cherry picking people to be “establishment liberals.”

Bernie sanders exists. AOC exists. Etc etc etc

And then the trolley cross track drifts and murders six people while the third party voter feels smug and self-righteous about ‘doing the right thing’.

The time to prevent the construction of the trolley, to prevent people from being kidnapped from their homes and tied to trolley tracks, is every time other than the election, so your election options are the ‘Not Murdering People With Trolleys’ group.

During the election, you minimize harm.

And for everything else, you push for improvements.

The time to suddenly pull a principled stance about Trolleys out of your ass is not ten seconds before your inaction kills people.

You need to care before the trolley is barrelling down the tracks.

He made $12000 off each fired employee.

Yeah, you enjoy your day and your strawman arguement you ‘won’ against as well.

Also, c’mon, their criticism of this decision in the sentence just before it heavily implies that.

That’s literally not how that works, and you even agree in the paragraph above this one. Why are you even arguing about this?

As for twitch’s working conditions, it’s a company ran by amazon, with management by amazon, so it has a lot of the same problems. From what I understand, the hours are shit, everything is a metric that’s impossible to meet, you’re constantly at risk of being laid off, a lot of the management are jackasses, and it’s very much a bunch of little fiefdoms trying to flex their position and abuse any amount of power they can.

Like, I can sum it up as simply as “Know how terrible twitch mods are? Imagine working for one.”

Not quite as bad as the conditions working in an amazon warehouse, sure, but still not something anyone should have to put up with. Regular inhuman working conditions with a focus on gaslighting and abuse, as opposed to an amazon warehouse’s egregiously inhuman working conditions which are focused more on physical abuse.

They’re talking about the working conditions in general, which are indeed deplorable. They’re not saying this specific act is proof of it, or even an example of it.

Reading comprehension, dude.

Nowhere. Nowhere was it acceptable.

If they did acceptable things, they wouldn’t have been republican in the first place.

I keep seeing this all over the place and not once has it ever been sourced. Frankly this just screams of more epic games astroturfing to make people think valve bad

Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

Because it’s cheaper than actually implementing working anti heat instead of just stealing control of your computer and leaving gaping vulnerabilities on it.

After all, why would they care? It’s not their computer.

Except for the fact that it’s now invasive as hell and trying to monitor/sell everything on your computer after the rewrite. We had to ditch teams after the rework because it wanted to phone home to dozens of IPs with information about our computers and actions.

The high score was blocking 112 outgoing requests with personal data in a single 1 hour call. (We have network connections locked down on our computers using Little Snitch).

Absolute madness and frankly every single person involved in Microsoft Teams should be thrown in jail for espionage and stalking.

We have the sample ballots:

Google really wants to make sure you can’t escape their ad-riddled bullshit when they get rid of Manifest v2

Iirc, this bridge has a ton of signs, signal lights, and indicators leading up to it- they’re just farther out, so you can actually turn away from it BEFORE you’re committed to going under it, or stopping dead in the street.

Ah, you’re making the traditional error here- you’re assigning only 22% to the industry, and thinking only people transport items or use electricity.

Most of the ‘electricity’ emissions on that nice pie graph isn’t joe bob’s playstation, it’s industrial power. And while a larger percentage of that ‘travel’ graph is people rather than train/semi/etc output for corporate use, corporations ARE responsible for the deplorable state of american transportation, as they’ve intentionally destroyed all our public transportation options and endlessly pushed to make things less safe and more profitable like stroads, the invention of the concept of jaywalking to shift blame for terrible drivers, and intentional lobbying to increase overreliance on cars.

We COULD drop that transportation amount, but again, that would mean less profits for industry, which spends millions if not billions ensuring that can never happen. Right now we can’t reduce transportation emissions, because it would leave people stranded. We need to improve things past requiring cars for everything, and that can only be done when corporations are held accountable for their actions.

Sure, all those things can minimize impact, and together we can all effect maybe one and a half a percent of a change. Alternately, we could hold companies responsible for their illegal and absurd amounts of emissions and knock a good 20-30% off.

Stop growing shit in stupid places, for one. Stop ignoring emissions standards or lobbying politicians to remove them. Those are probably the biggest bulk contributors to climate change at the moment, other than perhaps methane emissions from cattle, which I cannot in good conscious advocate against due to dietary requirements from allergies.

Oh look, it’s the latest Big Company propaganda piece attempting to blame the average citizen for ruinous climate change that is pretty much solely on the back of corporate negligence and/or malice, because not being an evil douchebag costs the company 15 whole extra cents a year!
