Who told you not to trust anything China says?

My inherent distrust of authorities?

Totally! I keep hearing about the "death of RSS", and yet, that's how I follow most of my online media.

There are plenty of weird blogs, just look up The Small Web. There are less weird blogs that make money, but I can't say that I'm overly sad about that.

The headline is a little misleading: This isn't really about small blogs, but more about how Private Equity harvests smaller companies, and leaves their husks to rot. That is a very legitimate problem that needs some serious solutions.

I remember a meeting at a previous company where they announced that they were going to start hiring people in India. "They aren't going to replace you, they are going to help you!"

They know what they want AI for: To have a cheap, disposable labor force

She supported bombing innocent people. She let people rot in prison, for things that she laghed off. She openly lied to everyone when lives were on the line. She supported Genocide.

...unless they tick every box right...

I'm not sure you understand what that phrase means. Try putting up someone who isn't a monster next time.

If you have to vote between a candidate who wants to build 5 concentration camps and another candidate who wants to build one. You vote for the candidate that only wants to build only one concentration camp.

Well it's a good thing that we didn't have that binary choice then. My ballot had a few options, some of them even opposing concentration camps, so I got to vote against them.

Oh, that's a good question. I read it as the latter, but if it's the former, it would be a bit tougher. It's still not super hard, but it is tougher than I initially imagined.

...requiring 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and running one-and-a-half miles in 14 minutes...

That's a stupidly easy test. I'm a programmer, gamer, and I have a bad back, and I can easily do that.
