and murdered a bunch of Venezuelans, a bunch of non-citizens in the USA, collected from American companies and residents billions in tariffs... How about those Epstein files?

The death toll for the Venezuela raid is between 80 and 100, out of them only 10 were civilians. I feel bad for those 10 civilians but, for the rest, I feel no sympathy, as they were oppressors.

They killed nearly 100 Venezuelans at sea, accusing them of transporting drugs. To date, this regime has provided no evidence to corroborate those claims, in addition to the fact those were extra-judicial executions. We already knew that parts of their justificantions were false, especially the accusations against Venezuela of producing fentanyl. We also know that the US military committed war crimes at least once, when they blew up survivors of an initial bombing. Despite all these, Trump and his goon squad were seemingly quite pleased and joking about it. It's splendidly evident that they assign zero value to lives outside of their goon circle. That extends to every non-whites, political opponents and even women/girls who suffered sexual crimes.

There are zero reasons to assume this regime's victims, except for known tyrants like Maduro and Khameini, to be guilty at all. The regime has zero credibility when it comes to human rights. So those fishermen were most likely innocent victims and not drug smugglers.

In addition to all this, don't assume that this US attacks on Iran were because of his love and benevolence for the Iranian civilians. If it were so, he wouldn't have provoked the Iranian regime to crackdown on the protestors and kill around 30K of them. That farce was unnecessary for the liberation of Iran. Instead, he used them to create an excuse to carry out an attack that they had already planned.

So, as much as I understand the Iranians' joy in seeing the end of Khameini, I strongly suspect that this is just the beginning of another authoritarian regime over there, controlled remotely by the US regime this time, just as we see in Venezuela. Expect everything from human rights violations to mass scale plunder of their natural resources. All that we see now are just ploys to establish a worldwide neocolonial order under a very racist and xenophobic regime operating from the US. Let me remind you of the meme that this orange dictator posted that shows Canada, Venezuela and Greenland as part of the US territory. I don't see this end well for any civilians on this planet, including US citizens.


Doesn't change the fact that it was a war crime. But hey, "rules based order," right?

A reading group is one approach. Regular reading of software development blogs, even older ones, will teach you a lot.

Expand your professional network by using local meetups or other professional events to find a mentor.


It would be nice if the link to the 2027 calendar included the weekday alignment.


Key phrase "captures some of the sentiment of Stoicism". Her book could be cut down to about ten pages.

If Books Could Kill reviewed her book in April 2025:

"Peter and Michael discuss The Let Them Theory, a self-help guide to seeking bliss through unmitigated complacency."

Should I understand that to be a critique?


We call those "change requests"


Its page load time is as if it's running to the first clouds...


I, too, made this assumption. Then I learned it was an actual product my ex-employer had selected and kept using.

It still didn't make sense why an enhancement request and a fix request couldn't be moved between queues. Or why I received three (at least) emails when an issue was closed.


Jesus saves but John makes backups and Moses takes them offsite.


Sadly, Moses was canceled for his anger issues and couldn't attend the off-site as HR ordered mandatory sensitivity training.


"But the crane wasn't there yesterday!"


lmao


And that crane cable was much thicker! And it was two drones in a short period of time!
