What does everyone think of the term “woke right”?

2025-05-02 04:38:08

@npub1g05…40hv listened to your recent podcast
I was impressed! Excellent summary of the right-left dialectic

It’s just more free here. Simple as that!

The FBI did interviews because these are serious allegations and then determined they were nonsense because they obviously are

Legal residents has a specific meaning. What exactly was your intent if not migrants?
“Can’t wait for them to come for your kids”

Does anyone on here mine bitcoin? I’m curious what’s involved with that
I’m not looking to turn a profit, just curious what it would take to mine, say .1 bitcoin. How long would it take? Upfront costs, etc
Has anyone done this at their home? Is it possible?

I don’t like the Anti-Israel movement for a number of reasons
One of the most profound arguments in favor of Israel is that they’ve found a way to get along with both Jordan and Egypt, in spite of deep disagreements between those nations and Israel
In fact, Egypt in particular has benefitted greatly from establishing peace with Israel, which the leader who achieved this, Anwar Sedat, paid with his life
I’m praying that Palestine one day gets its Anwar Sedat

Federal Corrupt Practices Act relates to businesses giving or taking bribes from foreign governments
There are some criticisms of it, and its not enforced fairly, but many CEOs of US companies were giving or taking bribes from the Indian or Chinese governments in exchange for favors both directions

I like James Lindsay. He’s a smart guy. Taught me a lot
But he botched the H1B issue. I thought there’s something to what he’s saying for awhile. I really don’t think there is
And here’s the kicker: he’s a smart guy. A really smart guy. Smart enough he wouldn’t fall for something like this. Leaves some less than savory options
To clarify: I don’t know anything, but I find it awfully suspicious that he’d screw up that issue

James Lindsay is a very smart guy
But he botched the H1B issue. Just terribly

2025-01-11 06:03:13

I came over to Nostr because of Elons censorship
I just spent a half hour reading his tweets from Christmas and the days after
Including his “GO FUCK YOURSELF IN THE FACE” tweet
Just shocking all around. See I’m a US tech worker and I am at risk of losing my job soon due to H1B and PERM

2025-01-10 04:08:14

It was a long shot from the start but it wasn’t unconstitutional. Sort of like an onsides kick
The reality is that once the votes are counted there are not many legal remedies
It was almost certain pence would certify but he could have said that weeks before so as to set expectations correctly. Instead he gave trump supporters false hope
Yes it’s all moot but it is also interesting to see our system be so tested over the last decade and yet…we’re all still here and doing ok

Nixon certified Kennedy’s election in 1960. Interestingly, Nixon also changed electoral votes for Hawaii from being his to being Kennedy’s, as votes came in long after Election Day when the electors were chosen
This was due to it being Hawaii’s first presidential election (it only became a state in 1959) and so the state government there had no experience running elections
This was the precedent Trump was hoping Pence would use to not certify Biden’s win

There are some who believe it was his job not to certify given the circumstances

So there’s a guy who has been looking for work in the tech sector all year long. Good guy, decent dev. He’s a US citizen
He has applied to hundreds of jobs through company websites and LinkedIn over the last year. Not a single response. Not one. Ghosted on almost all of them
I found a job in his area that was limited to US citizens for a FAANG company. Some security issue. He applied. Phone interview last week. First in person interview this week
US citizens are not being considered for most tech jobs right now due to citizenship discrimination
This guy isn’t even white. He’s Dominican

To be honest I did not see it that way
Elons legitimately did improve things in a lot of ways, I remember people getting banned before he came for the most obvious political reasons
And then it all stopped and almost all accounts were reinstated
But then he took so much flack on Christmas Eve over the H1B issue that he shut it all down two days later
And then he went even further. Now it’s worse than before. He’s just going to greater lengths to hide it

2025-01-06 08:26:37

I documented my journey on my substack blog (link in bio). Three long blog posts on the subject
But the tldr: I am a US tech worker and I found a thread on x on nov 26th that showed me how the entire industry has been abusing the H1B visa and PERM green card (as well as others) very badly for the last two years. So I began to comment on the subject, and then it went viral with Christmas Eve with Laura Loomer’s comment about Sriram Krishnan’s appointment, with Elon and Sacks playing defense until they tapped out on the 26th and found a backdoor way to censor the backlash
For the record, I’m not a big fan of Loomer, and yes she has said and done some terrible things, but censorship is always wrong and I could see the entire goal was to rescue Elon from some very unpopular stances
So I logged off x and I’m here
