But not by much longer. People on the other side of the world or connected to satellites monitoring sunspots would notice pretty much immediately after the light ceases to reach the earth and would tell everyone else over the internet

They are a fairly small group compared to other marginalized groups, and particularly vulnerable compared to others. There is already a lot of misinformation about them. Average people often dont run into them or understand them Well enough to make informed decisions. Its easy for billionaires and republicans to wield religion against them. They are often vocal about their beliefs. Intersectionality is also important (e.g. supporting and protecting other minority demographics’ rights because it is the right thing to do, and tearing each other down is counterproductive) to them, which isnt always the case. Disappearing them sets an example and is a test run for setting up the infrastructure and means to take control. See: nazi germany with the deaf, and current marginalization by the trump administration of the trans and disabled communities.

Depends on what kind of mentor. A lot of times, having someone who knows tips and tricks or has seen the problem before can be really helpful. Even just watching how someone else does it can be helpful.

For example, at work we have tests written in C in the 90s to 2000s to control equipment and test our products. The way some of the new test engineers and interns would fix things would be to change a parameter and recompile the test, instead of adding a variable to the watch window, using breakpoints, stepping through functions, etc. Showing them that those tools existed was huge for troubleshooting problems whenever something breaks (which is often).

The bad kind of mentor is one who doesn’t/cant explain why doing it one way may have tradeoffs as opposed to the way you would do it. Their job is to 1) set an example for good practices and 2) guide you when you are doing something in a less efficient or self sabotaging way.

Outdated data. The votes were not done being counted on November 10th. Trump got 49.8% to Harris’ 48.3%

Ive found it to be inconsistent; used to not work on ddg /bing but worked today for me. Used to work on google but less so nowadays

SEO is a cancer

If you add “-best -awesome” or search on google you can get some real results, but I usually avoid google. You can also try searxng

DEI is literally oversight to ensure that there ISNT racism . For example, it includes:

• Outreach programs to talk to people in underrepresented communities to tell them that opportunities exist

• Avoiding biased language and assumptions in the hiring process that would negatively impact people of certain demographics

• Hiring authorities that prevent bias against the disabled and veterans

• Audits and data to see if an organization has decided to just be racist and reject non-white applicants

Your argument is, we should remove people’s protections because if we taught everyone better they wouldnt be discriminatory.

You made it to Friday

But at what cost

Usually this can happen when you are owed money by an institution (bank, insurance, stocks, etc) and you either dont claim it, dont get the check, forget about it, or it happens outside of your knowledge (e.g. grandparents set up an account). In the US, you can usually check with your state’s Comptroller’s office. For example, NY has unclaimed funds under the office of the New York state comptroller

I’d reccomend going directly to the state .gov website and looking there or making sure you have the state website if following a link. They will let you search by name for unclaimed accounts, and then after choosing the one you want to claim, it will ask for ssn, dob and name, etc. If they can verify that information, you get a check in the mail. Ive gotten a few hundred from old insurance that probably settled some account after I’d switched.
