johndfsgdgdfg··on Twitter removed their diversity page some time between November 16, 2022 and now
It's interesting that they had to hire from abroad. Meanwhile Latine people are the least represented demographic. It's not just Trump and racism at the border. Racism against Latine is everywhere. And worse is how accepted it is.

I wish everyone would start using Twitch, so that we can have a proper alternative of Google/Youtube.
johndfsgdgdfg··on WeWork exits 40 U.S. locations after tepid forecast
> If they do not find relationships / friendships there, where and when will they?

Because of the plitical climate. Very few people would be inclined to pursure romantic relationships with coworkers. Meanwhile people at the same coworking space is a fair game. I am speaking from my own experience. The bad thing is it also becomes like high school. Because there's no HR policy to keep people in check.

I wonder if this bugs exists on FireOS. It's obvious that bugs like this will happen in a spyware company product like Google.
johndfsgdgdfg··on Leaked documents: Ugandan government expects explosion in Ebola cases
Thank you for saying this. We know xenophobic racist right wingers are saying that COVID came from China. But WHO-China investigation definitely proved that COVID came outside of China. Even western virologists have been supporting Chinese scientists. [1]

> we gays know how bad diseases can get, and fuck it my dating life even after 2 years of pandemic is not as important as is my life

That's a nice sentiment I guess. Meanwhile my gay friend didn't stop "socialization" during the pandemic except first few early months. According to him he must've had COVID at least 4 times by now. If you add natural immunity, vaccine and asymptotic transmission he was getting exposed to COVID pretty much all the time.

This is nothing against gay community. This is against idolozation of certain communities and demonization of certain other communities to fit certain political narrative. Reality is more complex and nuance.

johndfsgdgdfg··on Covid-19 Origins: Investigating a “Complex and Grave Situation” Inside Wuhan Lab
It saddens me to say how much racism and xenophobia Asian people still have to endure because of some conspiracy theories. The way we've been treating Asian people will be the biggest human rights violation in 21st century.
