I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: mutual aid = “private charities” but for the left.
If you want to help people, push for robust government aid programs as that’s proven to work. That is, after all, the ultimate form of “mutual aid.”

These are crocodile tears. They know exactly what they could have done to avoid this
The articles framing is sorta funny because this clearly isn’t a centrist vs progressive thing as much as it’s a fight vs don’t fight thing

It also makes no sense for most Americans. 3/4 of my heritage got here before the Revolutionary War. 1/4 got here in the 1910s due to a Russian pogrom. Am I a "heritage American?"
It's weird to me, because I view immigrants as being as American as me. Where you're born doesn't dictate who you are.

In the United States, mommy and daddy shouldn't matter. You're a grown ass man, what have YOU done?
The idea that being born somewhere grants special privilege is the dumbest thing in the world. It's a sign of someone who doesn't have much else to go on.

Well, that's two tech interview rounds out of the way. If they like me then I get the joy of a third round (not a tech, just a team fit). If not, then at least I made it this far.
First time in years I got this far in the process, so there's that at least.

First live coding interview in two years and it got pushed back. But the reviewer said based on my first round and my skills (my builds), he’ll see about shortening the next one or skipping it.
Turns out knowing theory pays off. Vibe coding doesn’t.

The anti-Muslim bigotry in the US makes literally no sense. White boys have killed as many people in mass shootings as Muslims killed in 9/11. How come we don't talk about white boy ideology?
There's over a billion Muslims in the world, you're going to get some variety.

I speed. I have a lead foot. I 100% support this initiative. And by “speed” is 5-10 over, but still it’s over. I’m all for limiting my ability to abuse a car.
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

Got my second round interview scheduled for Monday.
Might be finally heading back into web dev full time. Just gotta pass the code review.

If SCOTUS overturns birthright citizenship, then SCOTUS is illegitimate and their rulings don’t matter. They should be ignored.

The Supreme Court cannot “uphold the longstanding principle” or “strike down birthright citizenship.” The Supreme Court can follow the plain text of the constitution or declare itself in rebellion to the constitution. These are the only two options wrt birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

Always a good sign when an interviewer says he’s impressed with your answers and immediately moves you onto the second round.
First tech interview in over a year and I crushed it. Two more rounds to go.

In the off chance anyone I'm connected to on here is into custom keyboards...I'm selling one of my latest mods on eBay.
