Do the proponents of that really think that the power in that space wouldn’t be held by what essentially amounts to digital currency warlords (anyone with a lever to apply power and the matching lack of morals to do so)?
Why do you think those proponents and digital warlords are separate people?
Okay, so think about it like this:
Suppose your job is making wooden chairs. It’s takes you the exact same skills to make a wooden chair to sell for profit, as it does to make a wooden chair to donate to a chairless children’s charity, right? So why would you spend all your time and skills doing a job that’s eventually going to bankrupt you? While you might do a few chairs because you feel like it’s morally right, the bulk of your work is going to be selling chairs because that’s how you sustain yourself.
CEOs are in the same situation. A 500-person for-profit company takes the exact same skill set to run as a 500-person non-profit. So the reality is that non-profits need to either be competitive in pay with for-profits, or they have to be attractive in ways other than compensation so they can entice CEOs to work for them.
Now, none of that is to say that the scale of CEO compensation is appropriate, because it’s not. But that’s the calculus a non-profit has to make.
Whether it does or not is irrelevant; what matters is the perception among executives that it does.
No, I have the 13. Although I’m not in front of it right now, so I could be misremembering.
Framework laptops do this- and the switch that kills the camera also slides a shutter over the lens as well.
So that’s a fun question:
Can the right’s motivational spite overcome its immense racism?
Don’t worry; Alex Jones isn’t orange enough for the legal system to ignore.
Most open to “enhancing your operating system experience with special offers and promotional materials”!
“Is there a train coming soon?”
“Oh yes, they are building it now!”

An additional department… With two people in charge.
Such efficiency!
You think those selfish dicks, who would rather fuck off to another planet instead of try to curb their own behavior to fix this one, are gonna create some idea egalitarian society?
Fuck no, they’re gonna have a slave class to do all the work for them.
Are there any extra effects if I push the button quicker or more than once? I gotta know if I should worry about spraining my finger or not.
No, that’s Mike “My son and I know each other’s porn habits” Johnson.
In 1892, a Canadian dentist called Edgar Parker
born Edgar R.R. Parker, 22 March 1872
DUDE WAS ONLY 20 WHEN HE STARTED THIS!?
My dude, nobody said there was a good option. The choice was a bad option, and a much worse option. Bill Clinton doesn’t matter since he has nothing to do with the government. Harris at least paid lip-service to stopping Israel; Trump said he wants Bibi to “finish the job.”
And the kicker is, one of those two choices was going to win and if you don’t vote for the bad option, the much worse option wins by default.
Unfortunately, this whole election can be summed up as: everyone not named Trump voted against their best interests.
And people in the community were warning for months that this was the consequence of refusing to denounce genocide
And they were told, repeatedly, that Trump would be worse. Guess what happens now?
But somehow you only want to blame the racial and religious out group who can’t even be credibly blamed for losing the election.
Trump improved his margin across nearly every single demographic, so there’s plenty of blame to go around. But in a comment thread about Muslim voters feeling buyer’s remorse, I’m not going to talk about the white men who get fed shit from the manosphere podcast space, or the ghost of Phyllis Schlafly infecting women across this country to vote for the party that wants to take their rights away, or that when Trump was talking about Latino immigrants he was talking about them and not those other immigrants. It’s called “context.”
You guys were claiming for months they weren’t important and should be ignored
Nope, didn’t say that. I said that when your choice is token lip service about maybe stopping Palestinian genocide, and making the genocide worse, that you should vote for the former, because otherwise you’ll get the latter. Which is what happened. Congratulations, you told the Dems you weren’t going to vote for them, and now are surprised they ignored what you wanted.
Then maybe they should have listened when they were told that this was the exact literal consequence of voting emotionally.
