If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it.

Even if you’re not ghosted, you’re very unlikely to get this information. Usually it’s just that they’re not interested and not the why behind it. And begging for the why is typically not productive. The only thing not ghosting gets you is knowing it’s a deliberate choice and not that they, like, broke their phone for weeks or fell into a coma or something else unlikely that prevented them talking to you.

Yeah. I’m surprised they took from MI. Management was just complaining last week about how hard it is to hire RTL people and trying to juggle us around to all the generations and variants that need to be staffed. And then this week it’s this. Maybe it is how they fire people; I haven’t heard of anyone else being fired besides this layoff in the ~4 years I’ve been there.

As someone who works at AMD not in AI, that’s how they explained it to us. Or I guess it was a bit more generic “highest growth areas” and “still hiring for positions aligned with our strategic priorities.” Which we generally took to mean AI based on the gestures broadly at the market.

If you want to work in AI, they’re hiring. The layoff was sold as a way to make room for more AI headcount.

No. The outcome is Trump is president.

I can’t imagine doing it as a parent. My kids drowning is a pretty big, realistic fear. Maybe for a teenager? Even then though…

That isn’t an outcome.

What’s the other outcome of the US election?

There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don’t pick, you’re likely to get worse genocide.

More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that’s the choice on election day.

Edit: if all you’re doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.

People didn’t know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.

How do you do that? Unless they’re your kid, you don’t usually have that kind of control over another person.

Now do the research on the alien enemies act and how it’s already been used.

That amendment really meant consecutive terms. So Trump being president again is fine.

That’s just as ridiculous of an argument as the president being criminally immune.

When the branch that has the final say on what the Constitution means is on board, you don’t have to actually amend it.

I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down.

And then appeal it to the SCOTUS who literally gave him criminal immunity. With Congress and SCOTUS, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution actually says. Just what they can twist it with paper thin reasoning to mean.

So who’s stopping him?

Who you voted for is secret but that you voted is public information. I haven’t heard if it was predominantly white men who sat it out, but that wouldn’t be hard data to gather.

It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.

I’m so sad we voted against it. Legalizing magic mushrooms had more support than making tipped minimum wage the same as normal minimum wage.

Tu - your

Tú - you

Why that makes one bitch is beyond me, though. (Maga means female magician)

I think it might be easier just to do the division.
