That probably helps them waste less of their own time too. When bringing someone in to interview actually costs money, you’re mote careful about it, doing more to vet people in the earlier stages. Less “let’s bring them in and see.”

“mote” as in a speck of dust

“beam” as in a huge plank of wood

Basically don’t point out small faults of your neighbor while ignoring huge faults of your own.

It’s a metaphor. No one has a beam in their eye. But it’s a metaphor that drops suddenly in the second half, because you can literally imagine a mote in someone’s eye.

They’re SO deep down the hole with their big lie that they think everyone ELSE is lying to himself. Truly amazing.

I don’t see this as stopping H1-Bs. I see this as “I want a cut of that action.”

It is, but it doesn’t make it any better for Trump to get a cut of the action. That’s all this would do.

Sign me up too.

EDIT: I mean… they can also suck my cock!

Agreed - it was so obvious it didn’t take much work to name it.

Yup. Also traditional: the blind hypocrisy of using a tech product that routes through a data center to call for a total ban on data centers.

You can be sure Monterey Park didn’t have any data centers to begin with. They aren’t exactly in every town. And there’s no shortage of towns ready to line up for data center money. I’m sure this town will be fine.

Don’t feel bad - you just dared to bruise their favorite “AI BAD” narrative with practical facts. Sometimes this place really is just an echo chamber to shout idiotic wishes into the dark instead of a forum for actual discussion.

I could see a reasonable statewide zoning law but a statewide ban? You’ve got to be kidding. Tech is one of California’s biggest industries. We’re just going to NIMBY the problem onto someone else?

Oh boo hoo HOOOOOO!!

There is no way to lane block someone on a remote rural road. If you’re racing to save a life you just fucking pass in the other lane.

There’s no moral superiority about this. Your anecdote is just bullshit and doesn’t change the fact that driving fast and tailgating causes more accidents than it saves lives.

I like the way you’ve gussied up “objectively wrong as proven by science” into “my unpopular opinion.”

When your opinion contradicts known fact, it’s no longer an opinion. It’s a fantasy.

You can’t even change your “opinion” when provided with excellent reasons to, yet you judge people for not overcoming their biological imperatives.

A few more facts before I go: I’m not overweight, and you are a douche.

Rage bait is the generous interpretation. The “no one could be this stupid and awful” interpretation.

So what then? I guess you’re stupid and awful then.

How about anytime because some people have ears and want to keep their hearing.

Yes. I’m not sure how it’s the infrastructure’s fault that we don’t have better transit though. Better transit would mean busses here as we have decent bike support and regional rail. We do have busses, too, but for them to be better they need to go more places that the cars are going.

And actually the biggest reason we have so many cars is they keep building more and more housing further and further out from our town, which then needs to pass through our town to get anywhere.

There’s multiple layers to this, but if all you wanted to say was “your infrastructure is shit” then, well, you’ve said it.

You don’t. My first fake id was someone’s old military id.

They’re not being obstinate. You are working very hard not to understand that your job has to be walkable too.

Walkable: jobs, homes, and basic essentials shopping coexist near enough to each other.

It’s not walkable if you only have 2 out of 3.

I’m in an odd situation where there’s heavy traffic but we have very good bike lanes and bike trails. Yet I am afraid to use the bike lanes most of the time because the drivers are so insane. And half the people who do ride bikes end up doing it wrong because they feel unsafe: they ride in the bike lane against traffic or just ride on the sidewalks where they become the threat: to pedestrians.
