cry harder

still entertaining, and does describe how large corps work internally fairly accurately based on my experience

so brave

I was complaining about copilot specifically, which is an embarrassingly terrible product

those are not normal salaries for people working on regular open source projects though

I don’t know why you think I would care what some random troll on the internet tags me as. Sounds like you should work on your narcissism.

the whole context here are the insane payouts for the execs

I’ve heard about this kind of shit, but never seen it myself.

yeah most companies don’t even bother with the courtesy email anymore

Exactly, he was just a manager for one rape island that we know of. He was a product of a system that’s still humming along right now.

The way that normally works is that the US will isolate a country that can’t fight back and then commit war crimes there for decades because it’s a good profit vehicle for the military industry. They control the level of escalation, and they’re able to turn heat up when they want or to cool things down when they need to.

The difference with Iran is that it’s not isolated, and it’s able to fight back in a meaningful way. The US does not have escalatory dominance in this conflict. And that’s a whole new development for the burger reich.

not to mention that Iran is systematically destroying US radars across the region as we speak

completely agree

Indeed, a lot of the US capabilities and limitations are being revealed now. I’d also be shocked if China wasn’t quietly testing stuff like radars in Iran to see if they can detect US stealth jets for example.

every time

You’d think the US would’ve already been learning these lessons in Ukraine, but evidently they were not. And this is the first time the US got itself into a war where it does not control escalation. I don’t see why Iran would settle for anything less than pushing the US out of the region entirely at this point.

The crazy part here is that NATO evidently hasn’t learned anything at all over past 4 years.
