A lot of people seem unable to fathom the idea that Jews are BOTH a highly successful, rich, and influential minority group AND subject to racism and racial hate crimes. Oppression/privilege does not operate on a single dimension.
(same goes for Asians but less often)
DHH thinks grinding is dumb.
What he told us on My First Million:
- "I often hear entrepreneurs talk with such pride in their voice. Yeah, I grind. This is why I'm working a hundred hours a week."
- "I don't want to do that. My life is far too interesting to waste it grinding."
- "Grinding is the stupid shit you do in World of Warcraft when you're a peon."
@hecubian_devil i’m generally anti rent control but these are good arguments tbh. i def agree with the meta-argument about addressing all forms of suffering
nyc bans waymo and all of tech flips to moralizing
when will we realize that our industry is fucking terrible at getting the world excited about the future

@AviBittMD for me, blue no matter who is contingent on trump being the face of the republican party. if we’re talking about a presidential election, in which case by definition MAGA is no longer relevant, then sure i’d vote rubio over piker. but right now every R is bending the knee
@estherzelda0514 “socialists do not take advantage of the opportunity” what do you mean by this? they talk shit on him all the time. maybe i’m misunderstanding
@friendless_hun@RiverValleyJude my read is that she was saying to him “i’m trans” as in “btw i used to identify as a man”, not “i’m going to identify differently in the future”
a normal person from 1995 did not want:
- USAID dismantled
- NATO dismantled
- the president to be granted absolute immunity by the SCOTUS
- the president to corruptly rug pull billions of dollars for himself
I try not to get too emotionally affected by campaign and PR media from trans ally politicians because I know it’s all calculated, but this one got me. Seeing a politician not only say he supports us, but being on camera with and listening to the actual target of the right wing hate machine…it’s just been a while since we’ve had powerful people stick up for us like this.
Whether he wins or not, what he did here matters to us. If everyone could be like Tom, trans people wouldn’t be so scared and alone. We need more Toms.
