If brain damage wasn't bad enough... It turns you into a miserable republican fuck.

Had anyone ever said yet... Lin Manuel Mayoranda

I hope he goes far and makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Brave man in a moment that needs brave people.

We shouldn't. And he thinks that too. Cool.

This is very interesting... because the general saying is that AI is convincing for non experts in the field it's speaking about. So in your specific case, you are actually saying that you aren't an expert on yourself, therefore the AI's assessment is convincing to you. Not trying to upset, it's genuinely fascinating how that theory is true here as well.

That is just not a proper headline... You are missing critical context? More like, "Kennedy, who recently willingly swam in literal shit with his own grandchildren, says..."

Crazy that decent people have a 1000 page report to justify their position, nutjobs have a tweet, and the two are discussed on equal footing.

He doesn't think much of anything himself. He's a scared little boy, because that's where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.

Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?

Problem is no humanity in "human resources".

Exclusive clandestine agents of the business that work to train you to be as vulnerable as you can with them. Only as info gathering to be used as leverage against you if needed. Especially in the US now with the collapse of already lacking agencies like the NLRB, CFPB, FTC, etc... folks need to really JOLT themselves out of programming according to an old rulebook.

Whistleblowers are literally ending up dead, companies are adjusting their tolerance for inclusive practices and they are quickly losing fear of any regulation or retaliation.

Fuck 'em. Any way you find a way to slow things down or make them difficult. The social contract is broken, so quit trying to hold up your end with corporations. You aren't going to help them grow a conscience with your righteous and admirable principled adhesion to the old rules as they stab you and colleagues in the back.

I admire your spirit, OP. Be careful. Operate outside of your own industry if possible. Find job descriptions within that industry, directly copy key terms and add to a fake resume that will catch the attention of their sorting algorithm on job boards. As companies continue mass layoffs for sport to juice a stock price, the "talent acquisition" people only see you as pigs coming into slaughter (or at best, the fresh meat at the top of the grinder that will inevitably push the old meat through the grinder dye).

Society is in the decline. Internalize that. Act accordingly. Doesn't mean you have to set it on fire or give up a fight, but they've shifted the overton window on human decency. Your principled stand doesn't even register on the scale anymore.

Average union dues are typically 1-3%. This claims an 18% increase in weekly salary for union workers... So what are you thinking isn't getting factored in here and what is your point if it isn't represented inb these numbers?

Unions aren't "tricky", they are vital.

Luxury is a choice. I've never owned a "new" car. I could afford new cars eventually, but the reality is the world meant that I was never going to put myself close enough to a potential edge, that the purchase of a nicer car could lead to future discomfort for me or my family.

You really have no idea how out of touch you are. Your next point is, "Getting a gold foil wrap on a cybertruck is an investment! You don't get the full value of that investment on resale... Do you expect me to just take that loss?"

You are tone deaf. You doing see it at all, and that's really the point.

 
 
 
 

I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

 

As a little background, I didn't actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I'm never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter).

Just bringing up a point that I'm not sure I'd seen anyone discussing directly over here; the general sentiment and quality of posted information on Reddit has become tangibly worse in multiple ways (I think coinciding with this group, us, leaving).

Now don't get me wrong, Reddit sucked in many ways and for long before the migrations to Lemmy, but there is a noticeable difference in a few key areas:

  1. Less skepticism in replies

  2. Less sourcing of information in posts and replies

  3. Less counter positions expressed generally

  4. If there is a decent reply, you have to scroll much further down to find it

  5. Less plain labeling of obvious bullshit

Many of us used to introduce counter viewpoints or clarifying information into posts, with sources. That functionally worked as a roadblock to stall the quickly building momentum of disinformation/misinformation. Those roadblocks often feel absent over there now, IMO.

Not saying we hold a responsibility to go back there or that we were saving lives before, but the difference is very apparent to me - Have you seen it? Any examples?

 

This was on the roku app on a TV, haven't explored other platforms yet.

I'm assuming this is to disable the ability for users to quickly start, back/exit and restart a video until an ad doesn't play. Eternally user hostile, enshitification bullshit.

 

Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?

 

Through the great depression...

When 9/11 happened...

The 2008 housing crash...

COVID...

On a smaller scale, when the Titanic sank, I'm assuming someone inevitably got rich from the aftermath somehow?

Who are the people/groups that make up history's must successful parasites? Who "came out on top" in each instance of historical human suffering?

 

The rest of them all look good, but Addison just looks like a professional ball player out the gate.
