That’ll show’em.

I wonder if he’s the kind of maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because he genuinely believes he has a plan to better his people, or…

is he’s the maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because… power and control are simply all that matters…

I wonder which is more dangerous.

I wonder if it matters at this point.

This is a preventable apocalypse. 😖

Is this good…? Do they have enough influence to make a difference.

It’s possible that the move means Netflix can save some money on licensing, which may cost extra if downloads are included – enabling users to take shows and movies around with them and watch them without an internet connection.

Maximize profit. Good for them. Never good for us. Never.

Why is it so terrible to build a company that people love?

“People think that when you’re mentally ill, you can’t think straight, which is insulting,” she told the Guardian. “I understand the fears that some disabled people have about assisted dying, and worries about people being under pressure to die… But in the Netherlands, we’ve had this law for more than 20 years. There are really strict rules, and it’s really safe.”

She embarked on intensive treatments, including talking therapies, medication and more than 30 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). “In therapy, I learned a lot about myself and coping mechanisms, but it didn’t fix the main issues. At the beginning of treatment, you start out hopeful. I thought I’d get better. But the longer the treatment goes on, you start losing hope.”

After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. "I’ve never hesitated about my decision. I have felt guilt – I have a partner, family, friends and I’m not blind to their pain. And I’ve felt scared. But I’m absolutely determined to go through with it.

Honestly and genuinely, I’m glad to see all that she has put into this decision and glad the state is allowing it. Now she doesn’t need to cause further pain to others through a traumatic suicide and she can gain the peace she’s been longing for.

Each day, so many lives are snuffed out of existence without a second thought. She has given this an incredible amount of thought, time, and work.

Rest in peace, Zoraya. 💜

P. S. There’s thousands of live today that want to live. They don’t want to die. And yet their lives are taken away in an instant. Perhaps we should focus on saving them rather than making someone like Zoraya feel even worse.

Hell of a cliff hanger for a paid article.

“Scientists find three ancient viruses. They think they can infect modern human cells with them.” The end.

Wtf. Are they gonna accidentally murder humanity next? What happens after?! Are we gonna die!?

To be continued…

The portal is a genuinely fun idea. I’d love to see those all around!

But… people being people got to ruin all the fun. So… I don’t suppose I’ll be seeing one of these any time soon.

Blah.

Cool. Still not gonna use it though.

My hope is that companies would learn from the brain drain side effects in the long run. You’re absolutely right that greater profit is what drives this and it was intentional, but it is short-sighted.

The company I work for just terminated a substantial percentage of its workforce. It was done without truly understanding the effect on many programs. I’m now standing on a desert island, alone, trying to figure out how to continue satisfying a customer with nearly all the knowledge and talent to best do that stripped away. Doing the job of three people was hard enough before. Now I’m doing the job of X people, a variable I can’t even adequately quantify now. And a lot of that work is so wildly outside of my sphere of knowledge.

Decisions that these large companies are making are causing side effects that they may not feel for many years, but they will… And it won’t matter because those executives have accomplished everything they wanted for themselves in those first moments.

Don’t be evil. Heh.

I really do hope a few of these companies learn. I’d love for people to not be treated as expendable assets that can be ground into dust, but as people to nourish and develop. I’d love to cheer for them. I’d love to contribute to their work.

But will they learn…

I’d hate to know how they’d feel if they knew how humans would respond to this…

Genuinely interesting. Perhaps they’d have something to teach us. We humans could use the help. 😏

I didn’t pick up what you’re saying in this particular article.

If so, it seems painfully too little and far too late. More needs to be done and it needs to be done now.

I understand why the relationship between Israel and the US is important. What I don’t understand is why the US can’t hold them to account at the same time.

It boggles my mind how the government of the United States so easily facilitates atrocities. They can do better. They can be better.

When I hear “Make America Great Again”, it seems everyone has lost their minds in terms of what “greatness” truly is.

I don’t understand how they think citizens can be so stupid as to take these statements at face value.

The government gets away with things because it simply can.

🤬

Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone!

I know. I absolutely adore that their finger is still firing off that shutter. A huge fuck you with each press.

Thank you for the update.
