'Diversity' started as an anti-semitic agenda in the 1920's in order to limit the number of Jewish students at Harvard. https://www.timesofisrael.com/harvards-jewish-quotas-cited-i... .

Hard to 'believe' in ESG/DEI when the rich continue to fly private jets and a black scientist has never won a nobel prize.

This sounds more like an attack on the AWS hardware (Nitro?) . Does Nitro not have RDMA? I'm very curious if someone can discuss this. (Currently studying for AWS Solutions architect exam)

I'm sorry to add this additional fact. I noticed a video was with this URL on that site: https://thetruetruetruth.com/billy-porter-2/ . By curiosity I adjusted the URL to https://thetruetruetruth.com/billy-porter-1/ and well. The links I found on that page were not good. I am actually very sorry as this was not the intended purpose of this post. (do not click on those). I just wanted to reflect back.

This website was a promotion of the John Oliver show of HBO and the episode was watched by millions. I'm curious to know your thoughts on this digital promotion as we reflect back.

Can I get away with 'liking' his nonsense tweets though?

Wow. I didn't realize it has gotten that bad out there. Well, after reading those at least now I don't feel so alone in my self censorship. Thankyou

Well you did question if I was a cheap and lonely Russian bot. Only way I could think to respond to that is to communicate my motivation for posting. I'm glad you respect Musk's conservative opinions. He did fire quite a few workers and there are quite a few people out there who dislike him though. I don't know maybe I'm overthinking things. I feel like an overturned tortoise baking in the desert sun.

Here's what brought me here. I have a twitter account under my real name which I've never tweeted, and I'm afraid to even like a conservative post by Elon Musk because I feel like someone will find my account and judge me and I won't get my next job because of it. Ridiculous? I know. But I can't be the only one who self censors in today's world.

I think you are right. Maybe its best to make an active decision to avoid politics and the emotion trap they try to ensnare you in. I find it difficult when every news channel and every tweet tries to provoke a response from you. It can be very addictive.

I agree with that. I don't talk politics on the job at all, I feel we're all the in the same boat with the same mission to succeed and everyone on the team deserves equal respect.

I'm not saying I want to write a workplace manifesto like James Damore. I just want to be able to express my opinions outside of work and not have that influence hiring decisions.
