My first thought is that this entire article reads like a camouflaged press release from Meta.

The source for the article seems to be an anonymous, internal leak, but those “leaks” are often from the company itself as a way to send a message while maintaining plausible deniability.

My second thought is that they are grouping together wildly different types of infractions without saying how many people were guilty of each one. It’s possible that one person was committing outright fraud while everyone else was just accused of a minor technicality.

Finally, the accusation of “pooling” funds seems like a big tell. That’s what you should want the employees to do to save the company money. Without specific details about why that was wrong this sounds more like a gotcha than a legitimate reason to fire someone.

All of these together make this article seem like a way of scaring employees into resigning so they can cut the workforce without being subject to WARN act requirements.

You’re right that they don’t mesh with Judaism.

They also don’t mesh with Christianity.

The religion aspect of it is completely hollow; just a front used to mask being a hate group.

Joe Biden ‘discussing’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities

Casually discussing committing war crimes... civilian energy infrastructure is not a valid military target.

Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?

Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.

Try bending at the first finger joints instead of at the knuckles.

I don’t bother to fold my fingers all the way when I do it. All you need is a binary on/off, so just bending any discernible amount is sufficient.

No, they wouldn’t.

They would exist outside of our universe (since they created the universe), so the rules of physics in our universe don’t apply to them.

Even if the reality they existed in had something equivalent to atoms, it would be inaccurate to call those “atoms” since they are in different realities.

Age is only a protected class if you are 40 or older.

This is more like “is outraged to find out a hospital has a basement”

Portable digital identities are still an unsolved problem, even with Nostr.

They take a step forward in portability by using public keys, but that comes with a step backwards in multiple other dimensions like being able to recover your identity, key rotation, and just general ease of account maintenance.

I think Nostr is an important step in the right direction, but won’t be suitable for general use until those issues are addressed, and addressing them might require more drastic changes than simply adding an additional layer on top of it.
