I honestly am not sure where I’d stand on the EU as a good example of privacy. Unfortunately I don’t think the GDPR has been effective in retrospect. They’re at times hostile towards corporate spying, which is good. But, they’re extremely bullish on state spying and policing social media. They’re willing to outsource this to corporations sometimes too. It’s pretty good, or some countries are, if you want to stay private from US corporate interests but when it comes to themselves the EU seems to think your right to privacy online is an obstacle for them.

Dont hold up California as a good example of privacy when they’re leading the charge in demanding OS level age verification…

Twitter, for all its faults, proved that a lot of people online with strong opinions about US politics are located in India, Pakistan, and southeast Asia. In my opinion one of these is the likely origin.

It says $4 million per hour. It’s from one of those places that uses dots instead of commas.

But I do like to imagine someone in a really low CoL area like the Philippines wearing a tuxedo and laughing about how wealthy they are making $4/hr.

Okay but what armed conflict ever do you sit and wait for them to pick up ammo.

Iran’s military would NEVER attack a defenseless target!

oh.

How about we destroy all of their military assets and if the soldiers don’t want to get killed, they can desert?

Remember the guy at Autozone who stood there insisting your car needs four spark plugs, even after you told him you have a V6? Because “the computer says so right here”?

I wonder what even the non-schizophrenic ones will do with AI.

One person downvoted… “Don’t you DARE put a staple through a floppy disk!” Lmao

Yeah they’re cheaper than raw chickens. The store tends to buy too much chicken and some expires and would have to be thrown out… Or they can roast it right away. It’s kind of a famous economic parable at this point.

Also, it sounds like Trump is just destroying our economy less than your guys are lmao.

Apparently in the full context, this is in reference to some upscale grocery stores with an overpriced $30 “luxury” rotisserie chicken meal.

Not that this makes it much better. First, this seems like a small splurge compared to going to literally any restaurant for more than two people. Second, I had never heard of it before this article went viral and neither has anybody else I’ve seen in the comments… So this cannot be very common.

My conclusion is that this article is not for us. It’s for rich people to help them feel less guilty about everyone complaining about their lives getting worse.

I’m aware of a few early isekai works from like the 80’s to 90’s (Dunbine, Elf Hunter, and quite a few western Choose Your Own Adventure books and pulp novels fall into this category). It seems to be that as a trend, the premise is that the main character wants to get back to the “real” world and that usually drives the main plot.

Then theres a big trend of Isekai light novels (and related anime etc) in the later 2000’s to today. These almost exclusively seem to feature characters who just want to live a life in their new fantasy world. Literal escapism, even. Konosuba is notable for being very popular, maybe being around the start of this trend, and the main character is given a task to complete and be returned to the real world, but he just ignores it.

I guess we can speculate on whether this means people got more miserable in the intervening time.

Ashli babbitt got into a political protest about election fraud. She decided to climb over a barrier while a cop was pointing a gun at her and got shot.

This lady got into a confrontation with cops trying to make a tiktok video and shouting like a Karen. She decided to slam the gas on her car while an officer was in front pointing a gun at her and got shot.

Obviously he was referring to Biden’s presidency, which he claims was the result of a rigged election?

Bro its literally left wing Ashli Babbitt

Huh?

Not sure which comment to go with here.

The “white lives matter” people are split because the cop is also white (and she almost ran him over).

Turns out you don’t have to be black to get shot when running from (and nearly over) the cops. BLM supporters shocked.

BLM is shocked that white people don’t support one of their own when they do something wrong just because they’re white.

I could almost call you all morons for jumping to a very biased reading of the facts, though of course Trump went schizoposting on twitter to do the same thing.

Look, just admit you didnt want to read the whole article. These “waaaaah X% of CEOs” are completely and totally irrelevant to the world of entry level hiring and academics, which is the point. Assuming you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, it’s people like you who got grandfathered in who are the problem.

And besides, what is he supposed to teach his son to do to get hired in fields that openly state they won’t read his resume? I mean, become trans maybe. Thats about the only thing in your power.

Anyway, in case you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, you should probably reminded that yes, the stuff you’re doing is actually illegal and they might even decide to start enforcing it. https://www.schmitt.senate.gov/media/press-releases/senator-schmitt-sends-letter-highlighting-abuse-of-h-1b-visa-program-for-dei-hires/

Be honest, you’ve done some of this havent you? Your white guy CEO boss might have told you this is legal to hire only black women or foreigners so the numbers balance out, but it’s not lol.

I find you choice to use “victim blaming” in this context very telling.

If you read the whole article, you read about hiring offices openly discriminating in an illegal way, and you read that it was so severe, people knew not to even apply to positions because the discrimination is so bad. If you’ve been in college or the job market in the last 10 years, I’m sure you also know this isn’t just made up or an isolated case.

So who, in this context, is the “victim”? Who is “blaming” them? Obviously the victims are the people facing real and very extreme hiring discrimination. He’s not blaming the minorities who got hired instead, but I think that’s what you’re assuming here.

You seem to believe that “victim” means minority by definition.
