You're comfort with ignoring our laws, promoting policies that drain other countries of their most ambitious and productive citizens, encourage exploitative labor practices, and make it more difficult for immigrants to enter the country via legal means, speaks volumes about you. Be better.

P.S. When has anyone ever responded to the the sanctimonious phrase "be better" by actually "being better". You don't want them to "be better", you just want to try and shame them into adopting your ideological views.

Yea! Laws must be enforced! Let’s arrest all those illegal oral sex havers in Maryland. And those criminal face-makers-at-dogs in Oklahoma? Lock them up! Those horrible people singing while wearing swim suits in Florida? Straight to jail. Those deviants eating apple pie with ice cream in Kansas surely need to be put away. Women driving cars without their husbands waving flags in front need to be locked up, too! Laws are laws, after all. Better enforce them, lest you be a scofflaw.

How does, e.g., deporting a person who was illegally brought to this country at the age of 2, back to their “home” help their home country? What about the Haitian who came here legally under TPS, then, after Trump ended TPS, is now “illegal”? The Dept of State’s own website currently says of Haiti: “Do not travel to Haiti due to the risk of crime, kidnapping, terrorism, unrest, and limited health care.” How is deporting people back there helpful?

If you can't understand why laws need to be enforced, and also why it's bad for countries to lose their people to other countries, I'm not sure we have much to discuss here. I guess the US is the only country that matters to you.

These semantic tricks are so tiresome. If you broke a law to enter the country, I'm sorry, but you're here illegally. No amount of redefining of terms is ever going to change that.

You're free to speed, but you don't get to complain when you're caught doing it and dealt consequences for doing so.

Of course you can, there's an entire process for arguing a traffic violation in court.

And there's an entire process for arguing that you haven't violated immigration law too.

Left wing speech is hate speech. Prove me wrong.

The US has good historical reasons to ban the promotion of socialist/communist ideology, yet I don't think many people on the left would be down with that.

When someone is spreading messages of “both sides bad” and “western ideas bad”, my assumption is it’s a bot

Software engineers have been making people jobless since the first day they started writing software, without a hint of remorse. Why is this any different?

Some yes, not everyone, some of us had morals.

cause the ones fired could become software developers, what are the ones fired because of AI gonna be other than homeless?

you believe that switchboard operators could become software developers whereas software developers won't be able to go into one of the many other careers not taken over by AI?

I'm a senior software developer. I'd rather just live on welfare than work anything else.

Pick berries where robots are bad at.

It took a long time for the internet to result in things that improved life for in tangible ways.

But the old internet never had so much negative impact on the world with so little upside.

Facebook and its ilk sort were more or less the unravelling of western liberalism. The descent happened before generative ai.

That does not make the AI-part any better.

Because creating a successful software product is more than just writing code.

Oh, it's only the second best selling electric truck on the market. What a massive failure.
