At least 41 people have died in stifling, uncooled prisons of either heart-related or unknown causes during Texas’ relentless and record-breaking heat wave this summer

At least another 29 have died of what are still unknown causes pending autopsy results. The death count is likely higher, as prisons have 30 days to report a prisoner’s death to the state.

TDCJ has reported 35 employee heat-related illnesses this year, but only 14 among prisoners

And that's just heat related over the past few months.

Which very well could, and I'm my opinion should, be the case.

But instead a few dozen billionaires own half of the worlds wealth.

Eat the fucking rich.

Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn't the WTF. When you're working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn't be). The company wants to maintain it's security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.

It's not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn't some mega shady weird thing.

"the cloud isn't tech it's a rental company" is a pretty dumb take tbh.

Like, if you're trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don't provide technical solutions that aren't available otherwise you just don't know what you're talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are 'rentals' to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn't really 'tech', but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much 'tech'.

I agree with the sentiment that his actions should preclude him from running, but felon disenfranchisement is something that isn't talked about nearly enough and I think it's absolutely insane so many people lose their RIGHT to vote.

You say everyone hates then but honestly it's really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that's part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can't even imagine a world where they aren't constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

Personally I'm vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don't see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.

racist, wife beating

What's with the redundancy?

Yeah but they're extremists and terrorists who want to control all aspects of the media, stop women from having rights over their bodies and return to their place in society serving men, criminalize everything that goes against their religious beliefs and restrict voting and democracy to preserve their 'values', carry guns with them everywhere and fanatically praise their leaders.

Err, there's some differences somewhere I'm sure..

even a conservative judge would have their hand forced by the law and public interest

Lol. Yeah, because the law and public interest has stopped them before.
