It takes massive courage to give up a cozy job at Microsoft and potentially damage your entire career to stand up for your values this way. Props to her!

Israel shooting medics, throwing them in a mass grave and then lying about it? Better not talk about it, or we might be labelled as antisemites and/or terrorist supporters.

It's never enough. Companies that make this much money just write it off as the cost of doing business.

To be fair, one should acknowledge the conditions in Europe under which Zionism was created. In a growing wave of antisemitism at the end of the 19th century, Dühring wrote in a 1881 pamphlet:

He described the "Jewish question" as an expression of an irresolvable racial antagonism, and openly advocated for the "murder and extermination" of Jews as a solution to the Jewish question.

Many scholars believe that Dühring's invention of a modern-sounding antisemitism helped persuade Theodor Herzl that Zionism was the only answer.

There was a growing fear that there could be no cultural assimilation and that Jews would continue to be persecuted, as they, in fact, were. Zionism was a proposed solution to that atmosphere of hate. It's easy with the foresight of 150 years to label it as a flawed idea.

This is not an excuse for modern day Israel's actions, and obviously the conditions for Jews in Europe are better today (since we are just scapegoating Muslims nowadays instead), it's just an understanding of how the fuck we got to this point.

But muh innovation! How are genius CEOs supposed to innovate if they can't use the public at large as guinea pigs??

Oh well, what can you do? Rome is pretty hot this time of the year.

Probably just God making it spontaneously combust.

Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track...

You can just write to Soros and he will pay for the arrears.

Some old footage of the "never Trump guy", presumably when he was 9 years old

 

The likes of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vladimir Putin have been eviscerated by damning floats at a carnival in Germany.

The satirical – and rather graphic – floats were on display in Dusseldorf this week as part of the annual Rose Monday parade, the highpoint of the region’s carnival season.

 

I had a job interview with a company recently and one of the negative feedback I got was that I hadn't tried out their product. Now this might be a valid concern if they had any sort of free trial for it, but the lessons they offer start at 60€ and I didn't feel comfortable spending that amount just to get a better chance at an interview. They also offered no free credits or anything like that during the interview. I did understand how the product worked by researching it online.

I definitely feel that there's something wrong in asking for an interviewee to spend money on the product they are interviewing for. For one it's a great setup for a scam. But is there any regulation that should prevent companies from doing this? I am based in the EU and was interviewing for a Spanish company.

UPDATE: This is definitely not a scam, the company is fairly known. This is more of a question of is it right/legal to expect this?
