  • I don’t think you know what a thought piece is. There is no analysis or opinion from the author.

    Plus when people share their take on it, you just accuse them of parroting talking points. You have added nothing to this conversation past various forms of “you’re wrong,” with only insults to serve as counter points.

    That said, if you want to try to explain to us why you feel a corporation taking away access to something that was bought is fair and just, I’m all ears and more than willing to have the discussion with you that you claim to want.







  • Honestly, I don’t think more of the same is going to help you feel less burned out. Obviously your couple of sentences doesn’t give me a lot of insight into your life, but you do not seem to enjoy your job, and that is going to color your whole perception on anything related to it. I think I’d honestly recommend you start looking for work you actually enjoy, but if that isn’t possible I recommend unplugging as much as possible for awhile. That’s the only way I’ve ever had the spark come back for me. Starting side projects always lose their luster after a session or two and just started to feel like another source of stress for me.




  • The ACLU tends to rabidly support anything that labels itself as free speech, even if it actually stifles it. Most importantly, to me, their continued support for Citizens United.

    But maybe that’s the only real case and it’s just loomed so large in my mind for the chilling impact “corporations get free speech, and their dollars count as that” has had on the US political landscape.


  • I gave up when they randomly jumped topics and I couldn’t tell how they were related. And just generally felt like this essay could have been heavily edited to get it’s point across.

    In general I like the EFF and the ACLU, but I do think that it’s not uncommon for them to end up on the “wrong” side because they extrapolate too far or are being dogmatic when most things have and require nuance.
