Government jobs love them though, Security+ is required for a lot of DoD jobs.

I think the big issue is that joking about school shootings is satirical to bring up how common it is in hopes to change it, while joking about fat people is just to be mean. No one is going to change because you made fun of them, in fact it might make the problem worse as state of mind is a factor in being unhealthy.

You could probably make the same argument about abortion jokes being satirical, but I don’t think abortion jokes are made in order to enact social change. It’s usually just to be offensive. Satire is usually used to point out how ridiculous something is, the hope is that we as a society will see it and do something about it.

Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

using VPN … makes his income illegal

Yes, they fine wasn’t a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn’t use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he’s in trouble isn’t why he got punished is less honest.

If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as “Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network.” Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.

It’s a contract thing called detrimental reliance. As I understand it, basically you relied on a promise to do something only in the event the promise was upheld then it wasn’t. It wouldn’t hurt to speak to a lawyer for a consultation. I doubt you’d get the job back, but they could be liable for the damages caused by moving.

While the concept as capitalism didn’t exist, there are certainly many facets of the ancient economy that are facets of capitalism.

Most of the economy was privately held, just certain facets of modern capitalism like corporations didn’t exist.

So, while you are technically true, you know exactly what they are talking about. We can’t 100% relate, but issues like laborers getting a fair wage and the rich exploiting the poor were just as relevant then as now.

Numbers 5:11-31. Here’s a Wikipedia Article about it.
