They all need to see this

Equilateral triangle with a horizontal line through the top quarter. Above the line is labeled “OVER WHITE SUPREMACY (Socially Unacceptable)” then lists: lynching, hate crimes, swastikas, kkk, burning crosses, the n-word, racial slurs, racist jokes, and neo-nazis. Below the line is labeled “COVERT WHITE SUPREMACY (Socially Acceptable) then lists (I am going to name them all, it’s a lot): “Make America Great Again,” Hiring discrimination, police murdering POC, discriminatory lending, racial profiling, confederate flags, school-to-prison pipeline, virtuous victim narrative, not believing experiences of POC, denial of white privilege, denial of racism, police brutality, paternalism, Euro-centric curriculum, anti-immigration policies/practices, assuming that good intentions are enough, self-appointed white ally, celebration of Columbus Day, English-only initiatives, housing discrimination, fearing people of color, expecting POC to teach white people, believing we are “post-racial,” blaming the victim, tokenism, colorblindness, bootstrap theory, “but what about me?,” “but we’re just one human family,” “don’t blame me, I never owned slaves,” “it is just a joke!,” not challenging racist jokes, racist mascots, claiming reverse racism, white savior complex, cultural appropriation. I am going to add using a culture as a costume, healthcare discrimination, and post-hire suppression of POC input as three more covert forms of white supremacy.

Whereas Harris told MSNBC that she believes whether or not Israel has committed genocide is a fair and honest question to ask, Cory Booker explicitly said to the "I've Had it" podcast that he thinks addressing the question of whether Netanyahu has committed crimes would undermine resolving conflict.

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?
