The Mozilla layoffs ... will get worse
  • Mozilla CEO is paid 7million a year. I don't have the number for the rest of the board, but it should be in the same range. I think that when people say this was a cruel choice, they talk about firing people instead of decreasing executive salaries.

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • I appreciate that you took the time to provide a document from Oxfam, but saying that my argument is invalid because the situation in one of the fourth articles I provided has slightly improved since the article parution, is to my opinion not very honest

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • I just cited the biggest humanitarians organisations saying that Gaza is the worst situation they've had to work on. Could you provide the same citations for another conflict? They're not just "plenty of people", they're the most competent person on the subject

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • I think this might be one of the effects of dual party system, there is a binary vision to most debates that is more nuanced in multi party countries. I might be wrong though, interested in hearing other's ideas about it

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • Where have you seen that I'm advocating for Trump? I'm not even American! Every time I see someone criticizing the role of the US government in the Palestinian massacre, somebody come and says "yes but Trump". I know trump is worse, can I still criticize the current US government or do I have to wait for the campaign to be over?

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • You say it's all horrible like it's a comparable horror. It's not. Leaving aside the fact that your described event is hypothetical (and I hope it will stay so, don't get le wrong I fully support LGBTQ+ rights), comparing murder to planned ethnic cleansing and thousands of civilians lives lost is a negation of the horror Palestinian endure on a daily basis.

  • I guess I'll die, metaphorically or physically
  • "no one wants what is happening in gaza, but the potential genocide in north America is even higher"

    Have you tried opening a newspaper recently? What is happening in Palestine is worse than anything else happening in the world; to say that your potential event could be worse than that is a tremendous display of ignorance and insensitivity.

  • [Unpopular Question] Why is Ubik so popular ?
  • I get that taste has a lot to do with it, but usually when I read one of the SF "classic", even though I don't like it I can see what other people like in it. Ubik is really one of the first where I didn't understand this. I just read an article saying that what I consider a lack of connections between the different part of the story is in fact a writing effect, to make readers have a "dreamy feeling" while reading the book. I hadn't considered it that way, and was looking to analysis like this, I'm not trying to tell people my taste is better, just wanted to have their input on the book

  • Why is Ubik so popular ?

    So there's a question I've been having for a while now: Why is Ubki, from Philip K Dick so popular ? I've read it, and was pretty disappointed. The scenario starts pretty well, but becomes very obvious amongst the rest of the book, there's little no to connection between the scenes, everything seems to have no relation, the final characters (Ella and Joe) are barely introduced, the resolution (Ubki's provenance) is barely explained, ...

    Overall, I feel like I've read a really good scenario idea from a great author, but it feels like a missed opportunity; I’m left feeling unsatisfied.
