Yup, reality often sounds that way. I saw a lot of this in my life.

They have been openly racist for a long time, and it has never mattered. Now that their racism is on the news, this is first time it has had consequences. So they never felt there was any self preservation to take into consideration.

yeah, people think that since they are so small, they aren’t gonna maul someone, so they put behavioral training on a back burner

Different, but still hiring fuckery

Friend applied for a job, database admin, HR called to set-up and interview. Two days later he got an email from the IT department, of that company, telling him that they weren’t actually supposed to be responding to applicants for the position. He emailed asking if the posted position had been filled, and then received weirdly worded response saying yes, but implying that it never opened for that particular job post. Then they stopped communicating with him. They were just posting jobs they weren’t hiring for.

He passed it all off to a link for, employment law, at the city chamber of commerce. Not that anything would be done.

why did you feel that someone, using a foreign word, to look cool, was similar to you using a second language, to communicate with its native speakers? Honest question here. That seems like a big leap in logic to me.

She got herself in a public shit show that was way beyond her. I guarantee you, had that not happened, she would have just stayed silent.

I mean, she is just a run of the mill, racist, shit bag. Vance is a racist shit bag with power.

a LOT of the people most important to governing within the constitution, enforcing it, and specifically hired to protect your rights granted by it, know little, to nothing, about it

He probably does, he probably also know that, for most people he is messaging towards, fascist, communist, and socialist, all mean the same thing, I don’t like you.

Are you saying seizing other people’s lands, and expelling them, gives you the right to exist there? The zionists entered a place that was decolonizing from the British, and began buying land, that was already occupied, from the British, then began expanding, refusing to hire, or do business with, anyone who wasn’t jewish, and expelling the people originally there. You claim that imperialist expansionism is bad, but the moment someone points out that this behavior is the root of this conflict, you jump to the side of the colonizers. You can’t have it both ways. Either you are fine with colonial expansionism, or you agree that people being colonized can route the colonizers.

Oh, flying ferry is a nick name for hydrofoil, not an actual aircraft.

Are you being disingenuous here? Are you intentionally ignoring the media driven campaigns about things like DEI initiatives, the decades of lies about how affirmative action work, etc.? You know, the ones that have gone from being popular, to being one of the most common talking points for the right wing, in the past decade? The one that started calling out specific government offices first, then universities, then tech companies, moved onto big box stores with target, etc.? The one that has caused people to go into stores and start trashing the place? The one that has inspired a torrent of threats against these entities, and their employees? The one that has caused multiple mass shooters to ad things like DEI to their list grievances that convinced them to be a terrorist? The one that has been made to open the door for it to be a point of legislation? The one that is going on as we speak?

Right up until there is a media campaign selling outrage about how straight white people are getting unfairly ignored for unqualified black people, and foreigners.

However, if excluding a minority, creates better financial relationships with the majority consumer base, it is in their interest to drop the minority. Capitalism only cares about what seems to maximize profit, and protect it, and if that is benefited by some form of exclusion, that is what will be done.

YT likely recognized the IP as belonging to a commercial entity and threw up the block, due to bot concerns, over that .

Yeah, people act like a site with half a billion users somehow is only representative of a very niche population contained within reddit. I also love the “well I saw x posted here yesterday and people loved it! Here it is today, and people hate it! reddit can’t make up its mind!”, as if reddit is a monolith, they took the hive-mind shit-talk literally. Then that same person will complain when that reddit is a hive mind…

My guy, this is just how people are. You are in a place where the group is large enough that you, in the population statistics sense, are getting a snapshot of humanity.

Yes, the ones out there, so far, are reportedly a hit amongst mail carriers

The controller is just an off the shelf cost saver they use to control the drone with the bomb!

Hasn’t been happening to me. Then again, the music I listen to probably isn’t a big target for AI, yet.

Your roomba either has great battery life, or you WFH.
