No.

This is a load of shit. Why it has up votes blows my mind.

Do some reading or watching of hunter gatherer societies and you'll see lots of group survival activities. Teamwork in hunts, in preserving food, in crafting tools, and making shelter.

If we were this self-centered, we wouldn't have such advanced communication, which is how we were able to do all those group activities.

Survival of the fittest is survival of those that cooperate.

Yeah, it's a problem. A threatened country integrated a fascist militia into its army. Yes, and that's bad.

But the country as a whole does not like Nazis at all, and doesn't vote for them.

"In the 2019 Ukrainian elections, the far-right nationalist electoral alliance, including Svoboda, National Corps, Right Sector, Azov Battalion, OUN, and Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, under-performed expectations. In the presidential election, its candidate Ruslan Koshulynskyi received 1.6% of the vote, and in the parliamentary election, it was reduced to a single seat and saw its national vote fall to 2.15%, half of its result from 2014 and one-quarter of its result from 2012."

The country has a Jewish president and a Muslim cabinet minister. Sound like a Nazi country to you?

I actually like my Motorola Razor. First, it fits in girl pockets when folded! Second, the smaller screen on the outside is actually useful for checking a notification or an alarm without opening the whole phone and being tempted to keep using it. So that's all good. The hinge seems really well designed and, after two years of using it seems fine. I'm a little miffed about what I would guess is a smaller antenna and battery life.

Plus on the rare occasion I take a voice call it is REALLY satisfying to close the phone to hang up.

Handy tip: an abbreviation for Nationalist Christians is Nat-Cs.

Ok a court filing, DeSantis lawyers defined "woke" as, "the belief that there are systemic inequities in US society and the need to work against them".

Which is not bad as a definition, really.

They don't. This is about them getting more profit from you.

To the tune of "if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

You were spotted in the mob, Now you've lost your fucking job.

If you're a Nazi and you're fired, It's your fault 👏👏

You mean the women whose degrees and careers were working on AI and who published informed critiques and who were fired for not retracting their criticism?

This seems like it would make it harder for Ohioans to vote to make abortion and pot legal, against the wishes of the gerrymandered Republican legislature. I would vote no.

"This paper presents the largest study to date on gender bias, where we compare acceptance rates of contributions from men versus women in an open source software community. Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, women's acceptance rates are higher only when they are not identifiable as women. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists" nonetheless.https://peerj.com/preprints/1733/

Layoff protection was listed in the article as one of their reasons for unionizing. Being able to better negotiate severance, the right to be rehired, etc. The auto industry has layoffs, but unionized workers get recalled when jobs pick back up.
