Good for them

Anyone who has watched this trial in its entirety knows that this is a person who has fabricated most, if not all of her claims.

Some parts of her testimony were so meticulously debunked it was hard to watch.

It’s remarkable that JD didn’t commit suicide as a result of what happened to him.

arrakis2021··on The current thing is truth. Arguments against current thing are misinformation
Why does being rich automatically make them sociopaths? I know poor sociopaths too. I know nice rich people.

I do not know Marc but judging a person’s character and mental state based on their social class seems low.

arrakis2021··on Children and a teacher were killed at an elementary school in Texas
I would be interested in learning why we don’t have Armed guards at schools, the way we do in stadiums, airports, and other large gatherings.
arrakis2021··on Kids are far behind in school
These kids will grow up remembering that a very specific group of people of a certain ideology kept them out of school, masked, and plugged into a zoom monitor for as long as possible.
arrakis2021··on Ask HN: Why not have Netflix users vote on which movies/shows to green-light?
No, it’s a Korean show with great characters and great writers focused on telling a story.

Not focused on scoring points by using ethnicities as a prop.

arrakis2021··on Ask HN: Why not have Netflix users vote on which movies/shows to green-light?
Because then you would have shows made for fans, and not shows made for woke HR departments.
arrakis2021··on Tesla's Aura Dims as Its Plunging Stock Highlights the Risks It Faces
Another garbage tier NYT hit piece. Every stock is plunging and Tesla isn’t unique in that. You could reframe this article about almost anyone.
arrakis2021··on The Fifth Element to Return to Theaters to Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary
I think this is one of the most original films ever made and it deserves a watch every few years.

Terrible company
arrakis2021··on Vangelis has died
He practically invented the sound of the 80s
arrakis2021··on [dead]
Here comes the smear campaign.

Spaceship man racist. Spaceship man bad.

arrakis2021··on Vangelis has died
What a talent.
arrakis2021··on [dead]
Because she has been caught lying countless times?
arrakis2021··on Tesla Loses Spot on S&P ESG Index Due to Crash Concerns, Working Conditions
At best, ESG is a marketing campaign. At worst it is a scam.

ESG got turned up to an 11 after the Occupy movement, when corporations realized people need to see some effort of “goodness.”

So corporations took it upon themselves to define what goodness is. Now that rate each other on it.

In 2008 if you said “Chase bank cares about uplifting minorities and the caring doe the environment” you would’ve been laughed out the room.

In 2022 chase bank days “we care about uplifting black people” and a few people clap their hands like sea lions.

ESG has done nothing effective for the environment, or for the plethora of social causes it claims to support, or the governance issues that arise in corporations acting as quasi-state entities.

What ESG has done remarkably well is convince people that the corporations care about the environment and social causes. So you can leave them alone about the actual real tangible governance issues.

It’s a cheap marketing campaign and everybody sees through it. The only people upholding the mirage are other Corpos.

Because once you acknowledge something a simple as “Exxon cannot possibly give a shit about the environment.” Then you can start asking them about their lobbying, tax evasion, unethical practices, war profiteering, and whatever else you want.

arrakis2021··on Twitter client partner says the company focuses on ideology over profit in video
1. Their political leaning isn’t relevant. Are you saying you will only take this seriously if it’s posted by an overtly left leaning outlet?

2. This is a senior engineer. Do their comments about internal practices not matter at all?

3. Where is the rumor? It’s a video. Is this a deepfake we are watching? Are we hallucinating?

arrakis2021··on Puter: A real, fully-featured operating system in the browser
Interesting, maybe even amazing concept.

Question I have is Why? What are the use cases or problems this could solve?

arrakis2021··on Musk Slams Biden: 'The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter'
Whatever your political leaning might be, it is obvious to anyone watching that Biden has been doing his best to read off a teleprompter. That’s all we ever see him doing.

It’s so alarming it’s become kind of funny.

arrakis2021··on Twitter engineer recorded saying ‘Commie as f–k’ staff ‘censors the right’
Did you watch the video?
arrakis2021··on [dead]
Probably because Parag’s long winded answer sounds like a lot of Corpo-speak bullshit.

They know how many bots there are, and they know what a bot is. There are very distinct characteristics of a real Twitter account.

arrakis2021··on Ask HN: Thoughts on the UFO News/Videos?
The best UFO thing I’ve ever read was posted her a couple years ago.

It’s a long and thorough read but it’s worth it

arrakis2021··on So you want to run a virtual event
Seriously, Nobody I know is still concerned about events.

I wonder if the article is satire

arrakis2021··on Disagreement Became ‘Disinformation’
Disagreeing with anyone on the left in 2022 is like arguing with evangelical Christians in 1995. Any discussion that questions the dogma is disinformation. Anyone who questions that ideology is branded a conservative, no matter how left leaning their views are. This is no longer a political ideology it’s a new religion.
arrakis2021··on The rebellion against the return to the office is getting serious
Just make a decision to work somewhere else good god why does everything have to be a movement?
arrakis2021··on The case for a 4-day work week
I like work. If my company switched to a 4-day work week I would switch jobs.

arrakis2021··on Twitter Deal Temporarily on Hold
This could be why senior execs were let go yesterday. Heavily inflated numbers putting the deal at risk of a significantly lower price.
arrakis2021··on The Cryptocurrency Crash Is Replaying 2008 as Absurdly as Possible
It’s fascinating read.

Still, the amount of brain power Matt has dedicated to this makes me feel like it would be better spent elsewhere.
