What is the recommended on-ramp for someone with a CS degree and a networking background?

Shocker of the century.

I respond by asking them for a cup of ice with it. Asking for ice in it leaves too many of them confused.

It’s my native tongue and I admit it has hardly a shred of orthagonality.

That’s a shame, because that’s how freedom of speech functions. It’s also a great way to show the world the higher road one chooses to walk when their opponents refuse.

There’s a difference between thinking of something and doing it. Many leftists dream of punching conservatives in the face but only a few of them actually do. The ones who refrained do not rate punishment from the government over a thoughtcrime.

Please don’t play such behaviors off as if they’re exclusively exhibited by conservatives. There’s plenty of said behavior by those identifying as progressives as well.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions and behaviors. Cancelation happens both ways. Its occurrence or lack thereof can be influenced but ultimately not controlled by the subject person.

I’m glad we agree that win/win situations exist, that life isn’t a zero-sum game as George Carlin (tongue-in-cheek, I hope) suggests in “Free-Floating Hostility.”

Thank you for your respectful explanation.

I must point out, however, that those in the community the dissenter joins don’t necessarily change their views, either. If we’re going to hand out blame, then it’s a double-edged sword.

So wait til they start killing people openly before we identify their ideology as dangerous?

You illustrate my point. Whether or not an ideology is dangerous is besides the point.

You’re blocked

That’s how the left exercises “tolerance” towards those of opposing views. Again, you illustrate my point.

No, you don’t, but at that point you are no longer truly “tolerant.”

The issue with the tolerance paradox is it gives way to thuggery once those with the most power decide what their idea of “tolerance” will and will not actually tolerate. That’s why we have a Bill of Rights. Call it intolerant, but name something that actually tolerates more (not just “progressive” or anarchist vlaues).

If the left wants to be intolerant of a given group, that’s a fine, debatable position to have. In that case, however, it’s intellectually dishonest to refer to such a position as “tolerant.”

If “tolerance” tolerates intolerance, then who decides what is “tolerance” and “intolerance?”

Just admit who you don’t like and whose rights you want suppressed. Clearly the left has a problem with certain groups of people or they wouldn’t be beating up demonstrators of opposing ideals in an unprovoked manner.

Ze only sing ve do not tolerate is intolerance!

Gab is a fork of Mastodon where conservatives flock. Yes, there are a lot of neo-Nazis, but you aren’t exposed to it for long unless you want to be.

If I could have the engineering and enterprise acumen and portfolio and cash he does I would love nothing more than to be called a loser. That’s winning to me!

If you’re going to cite antisemitism, please tell me you don’t own any of these…

• any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep from the late 90s to the late 2000s
  (Mercedes-Benz’ parent company partially owned Chrysler back then)
• any Ford, Lincoln, Mercury or Merkur
  (company started by Henry Ford)
• Chrysler Crossfire, Dodge Charger, 2011-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee
  (all built on Mercedes-Benz platforms)
• Hino
• Sprinter
• Mercedes-Benz
• Mercedes-AMG
• Audi
• Bentley
• Lamborghini
• Seat
• Skoda
• Volkswagen
• BMW
• current-generation Toyota Supra
  (made by BMW)
• any Mini
  (owned by BMW)
• any Porsche

Volkswagen was literally started by the Third Reich and, along with Auto Union (then-parent of Audi), BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, utilized slave labor during WWII.

Henry Ford received the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich, the Grand Cross of the German Eagle.

While we’re at it, make sure you don’t have anything from the Associated Press (censored for and collaborated with the Third Reich), Chase (sold war bonds for the Third Reich), Hugo Boss (slave labor and Propaganda materials), IBM (provided information processing for extermination of Jews) or Agfa / BASF / Bayer (came from IG Farben, makers of Zyklon B used to exterminate Jews in gas chambers).

Do I use any of the above? Yes. My work van was assembled by Ford Otosan of Turkey. I have an upcoming trip insured by Allianz (provided insurance for concentration camp facilities and workers). I’m not the one objecting on the grounds of antisemitism, though.

I’ve never seen evidence of Elon Musk being an antisemite, but for the sake of discussion, let’s say it’s true. How many Jews have he or his enterprises exterminated?

Oh, and crush Hamas, people who properly exterminate Jews.

🇮🇱

Because it’s the in thing on Reddit in the Fediverse to hate Elon Musk.

Any intelligence agency who legitimately thought that app was ever secure after simple OSINT techniques reveal otherwise needs to be overhauled from the top down.
