In addition, the automaker underestimated the value of the institutional knowledge accumulated by its more veteran engineers who had worked through multiple vehicle-development cycles. And this combination of phenomena led to a drop in quality in Ford’s vehicles.

In the FAQ they actually do address that and mention they're reviewing those sites for removal.

Absolutely disgusting behavior by the Republicans.

Locking up student activists for voicing their opinion on any matter only lends credence to their argument and makes Republicans and the administration look weak and ineffectual.

How the Republican party can dare call themselves patriots, freedom-loving, or even American while they repeatedly piss on our constitutional rights is shameful. God save us, because our politicians won't.

That's the read I got from it too. She asks what's keeping her from being content with life without conventional markers of accomplishment. I don't think she says outright that she wants to be like her husband, but the point she's making is that women in tech feel more driven to accomplish things as a way to prove themselves in the industry while men don't feel that same pressure or not to the same extent.

Great news! Apparently, she's been out of jail for a while. This is an even older news story than I expected.

Love to see the Dems fighting back. Especially on something as crucial as congressional districts.

I think upvotes are for the quality of the content in the post and comments are for sharing your opinion.

So, upvote when the post fits the purpose of the community, spurs discussion, and follows the rules.

Comment to tell people what you think about the content of the post.

If we downvoted every time there was horrible news we didn't agree with communities like news and politics would never receive a single upvote.

Exactly!

"So, sorry we'd love to help you astroturf the EU elections, but those pesky laws are stopping us."

For anyone, like me, who doesn't know about the meaning of the Black Sun

This sounds like a Dark Tower reference. Thankee, sai.

I think it's important to remind people, or inform them if they missed it the first time, that capitalists will do whatever it takes to make an extra buck, including blatantly bribing a US Senator.

Also, I never want to miss an opportunity to post about Kyrsten Sinema being a piece of shit.

The rest of their projects are just as angry and I can feel that deep in my heart.

I've always hated this phrase. What does it even mean?!

It's unconscionable that Luigi is sitting in prison facing the death penalty while cretins like Trump, Musk, and company can inflict policy that will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Neither. It's her brother's baby mama. That's why they butchered the title. Apparently the nephew lives with his father and stepmother.

Same. I've always been bad at replying to people in general, and it's worse with friends that I have to hype myself up to talk to just so I can match their energy. Not their fault, of course, but as you said, you don't want to bring your friends down.

OP, I say keep trying. Everyone needs friends and the more, the better. Just keep the judgement low and try to be understanding of where people can be at in their life journey. I promise that they will appreciate you for reaching out.

As a side note, I've gone years without speaking to some friends and when I've dug myself out of a hole or they've crawled out of the woodwork, we've reconnected. And because we were understanding and accepting of what each other has gone through, our relationship is stronger.

That's interesting. Adding a space before the exclamation mark would just make me think it's a typo and not an intentional punctuation choice.

And the the use of the ellipsis is something I've recently seen in some work correspondence, and to me it came off as sarcastic, not ominous. Which was strange as the sender is usually very polite. So this makes a lot more sense if it's a generational thing.

I still don't understand it though. If not sarcasm, ominous ending, or an interruption, what does an ellipsis signify and why not just use a period?

I love that this is their sole response, hosted on a .org domain and that there's nothing else there. No Contact Us page, no upcoming events, nothing to indicate they actually do anything or are even a group. Just that dumbass tweet and BLM support.

I couldn't agree more. Miller has become increasingly vocal with his blatant fascist rhetoric and it's honestly pretty terrifying to see that happening here in America.

Oh, c'mon! Where's your sense of adventure?
