yeh, saw the MTG one
half heath
They all bow down the second they have to sacrifice something they want. Like the moderators who shut down subs as a boycott. The moment their position as mods became threatened they stopped
it's just cringe
eager parrot
no offense to anybody who moderates subreddits, especially more than one, or any of the big ones
but that's an unpaid full-time job rife with power tripping
it tends to fit a very specific set of stereotypes too
half heath
or maybe it's some 5d chess move so ppl stop posting the actual useful links from twitter. Censorship by choice.
eager parrot
reddit is publicly traded now and part of "big tech"
they'll bow to their new overlords soon enough and these rebelling moderators will get cleared out
half heath
yep 😮💨
eager parrot
I don't really frequent any general subreddits anyway, the more specific hobby oriented ones tend to be a bit more sane
just lurking and learning stuff from time to time is enough for me lol
some local subreddits are also good for certain types of local news
but twitter still better at that
half heath
yea im mostly for sports. All the general ones are too political anyways.
I even have filters but they still post stuff without the topic in the title and I end up seeing them
eager parrot
sometimes I genuinely miss forums

actually its better this way
cause people will post screenshots
- you can see the whole thread instead of just the first tweet
- you dont have to open twitter so theres no danger of ending up doomscrolling
it is dumb though

oh if they are gonna screenshot it I guess it is better

if they ban scs is dumb

Probably not the worst or even one of the worst US presidents, yet that is

Regardless, political organizations and parties kinda failed to protect the interests and security of those more vulnerable to personal targeting due their identities
I would not really call Trump and especially Biden as "worst president to date" when the US had slave owner presidents

Given that the EU actually went "Oh yeah? Two can play that game. "
Honestly, the best outcome of this would be a higher grade of independence of the EU from your clusterfuck of a nation that can't even govern itself,much less elsewhere.

what's the alternative though? China? Russia?
Middle East?
for imports and exports as well as specifically energy needs

Honestly, at this point I'd take China over the US in most things. It's not like the US is better in any regard.
Russia is the "fuck off, no" candidate
Middle East owns half the world (including the US) anyway
Can't wait for Trump going to touch orbs again
eager parrot
I just don't think it'll be that simple. EU doesn't seem very united on any issue these days, you got Mussolini's party's spiritual successor running Italy. Finland, Slovakia, Croatia and Czech all have hard-right parties in government. In Sweden, hard-right holds confidence and supply agreement to do anything, the Dutch seem to be dealing with their own extreme right having some power in government. France almost had a right-wing government. And well, let's see what happens with AfD. Oh and there's Hungary's Orban who keeps vetoing random things especially Ukraine related.
Sure, if US goes on the economic offensive against the EU, there will be some level of unity, but it might also lead to fractures
and China seems ready to pounce on that in an opportunistic way.
I am not sure a China-centric world is going to be a good world.

Someone in Afyon dies because of the yellow serum (serum with vitamins added) granted to him due his flu complaints at a private hospital, without doing any examinations
there are people that occasionally die due the serum, and it's not because the yellow serum is supposed to kill people, but that's patient and doctor error
basically since the serum understandably pumps people up, people do not want to rest and complain to state hospitals that they are not granting serums and go over their way to get the serum, disregarding the obvious allergy risks of repetive usage of the serum, and the risk of crisis if not for a big issue in the body already
these yellow serums or atom serums at times have risk of stopping the heart rhythm
normally these are supposed to be given only in serious injuries or anomalies, including mainly big amounts of fluid loss
similar serums also was the last evidence of action taken before death of Metin Aralot, a supposedly famous musician (i say supposedly because i do not know the man)
i do not know if it still stands today, but atleast in statistics last 10 years with sources like lancet or the economist, Turkey ranks 1st or one of the 1st at antibiotic usage, so i would not be surprised abuse of serum usage is also happening
not in terms of amount of people who use it, but in terms of the amount of usage

I mean, effectively bro wants to hire more manly white dudes over the """""DEI hires""""" with thousands of hours of work experience
keen nest
Then hire them based on experience
blazing depot
... yes, that's what they did before, lol
It's not a field of work where they do DEI hires of unqualified dipshits
keen nest
Then affectively you agree this signature changed nothing then
If they were already doing it then it wasn't a problem, if they sign this then it doesn't change anything this way either
blazing depot
His signature is a purely political move to distract from his own gutting of air safety just a week ago
Does it effectively change anything to sign an EO that says "THEY did it!!!"? idk
I don't think that's particularly legal either
But is it disrespectful and insane to do before they've even fished all the corpses out of the river? Absolutely
Normal person would go out and be like "We're sorry for the terrible losses" or whatever
But nah, he does this and people go "But it doesn't matter he signed it, so it's cool"

the fact that this whole discussion is even happening at all is weird

It be like that

Fatphobic towards Adele, homophobic towards Miley, and openly sinopohic conspiracy theorist, apparently Emilia Perez had employed the Spaniard Caitlyn Jenner at the supposed Trump protest movie

Another set of racist comments by Sofia Gascon this time towards BTS, calling them Chinese
fossil basin
Other tweets also show her being transphobic and a pick me against other trans people like a Mexican celeb called Wendy, insulting many ethnicities also including Latines, and even insulting Guillermo del Toro who had been one of the bigger defenders of her movie Emilia Perez
One can easily search and find the tweets, brazilian twitter thank Lorde
Regardless, that begs the question, who tf does she actually like???
brave pelican
literally who is this person and what warranted four twitter posts sent here
fossil basin
literally who is this person and what warranted four twitter posts sent here
Main actress of Emilia Perez
What warranted it was that she was exposed to be the Spaniard Caitlyn Jenner with hint of Azealia Banks mixed in

literally who is this person and what warranted four twitter posts sent here
i dunno dude, they're on twitter syndrome
fossil basin
Basically insulted almost everyone possible
Another thing that warranted the posts were that i failed to bring 3 links together in one singular post on mobile for some bug
It did not let me

bro this person so irrelevant

I hate oscar season and I hate that I'm still here is running
I hate how even wannabe brazilian nationalists who like talking about loving brazilian culture so much have just decided recognition from the united states is necessary to validate whatever we produce
And all of those twitter mfers who are so engrossed in this shit dont even watch brazilian movies outside of this one anyway
Its just so silly

Hire pilots based on experience
The problem is that you still eat up statements from the trump admin on these topics when the default assumption pretty clearly should be that they simply make shit up
This whole move is a distraction from the fact that the controller that night had to handle a higher work load than normal and something slipped through, but hey at least his department was much more efficient
Gotta hand it to the trump admin tho, the fucking dei pivot evidently worked
keen nest
I mean this chat is a bit of an echo chamber
Just depends on really where and who you talk to on these subjects
I wasn't even aware of the crash when I made that statement ngl
most of the people I've heard talking about this today though have also agreed that this isn't insane
marsh oracle
echo chamber
keen nest
This chat is very liberal leaning
even I think trump is an idiot
but I try not to view things based on just hate for an administration
marsh oracle
If you dont think blaming "dei" for a plane crash before the bodies are even cold isnt insane then idk what to tell you
hoary charm
checkmate liberals
marsh oracle
Then again, dei is the new "satanic" for republicans
toxic spoke
abc world news tonight interviewed bystanders who said they couldn't see the helicopter, I think blaming the commercial pilot is not it
keen nest
Not saying that statement wasn't stupid, also not saying that FAA shouldn't hire people based on experience instead of politics, which we also clarified also wasn't happening anyways
marsh oracle
So what are you saying then
keen nest
I think none of us in here know what happened, but I think some of the statements in here are also just made irrationally out of hate for an administration and not logically
I mean grumpy's statement earlier was pretty radical
Like I said when I made that statement I had not heard a single thing about a crash
So yeah now that I'm aware
My initial impression on that video was just "oh FAA is going to make sure people are actually experienced yeah idk why people would be against this"
marsh oracle
Well, you figured out how the grift works
keen nest
Regardless of the crash I'm still standing by that opinion that the only metric in the hiring process for making sure you know people aren't dying is experience, but like we said it wasn't happening anyways and help's point was pretty good. So if the agreement is on it being a political stunt essentially then yeah I would agree on that
marsh oracle
Have you ever been involved in hiring people?
keen nest
Yeah and we hired people on experience
marsh oracle
How do you quantify experience and what do you do when theres multiple candidates with the same amount?
keen nest
Idk because that quite literally never happens
If we saw someone had one more day in the same field we hired that person
This is just an example, and not every work place will function the same way obviously
marsh oracle
So you literally just go by time spent and nothing else?
keen nest
We'd interview and make sure they weren't a psychopath ig lmao
if that's what you mean
eager parrot
It really differs based on jobs and positions
keen nest
otherwise yes we hired based on experience
eager parrot
Rose's experience may not reflect somebody in a different industry
eager parrot
a lot of jobs are purely experience and merit based because there simply aren't random non-experienced people applying for them
marsh oracle
This is just an example, and not every work place will function the same way obv...
Yea I know. The reality is that quantifying somebodys qualifications and comparing them against each other is extremely hard and you will probably and up with clusters of people very close together instead of some smooth linear graph of "fitness" for a job. nobody hires somebody from a lower rung of fitness because of dei but republicans love that people have that impression
eager parrot
that seems to be entirely dependent on the job/position and the field/industry, isn't it?
keen nest
Yeah it's not black and white
eager parrot
you ARE going to get a vastly different subset of candidates if it's a human resources or general management/administration job
but if you're hiring for example for network security jobs, you definitely can compare qualifications and fitness
keen nest

eager parrot
it really depends
keen nest
We would hire the 4 years
marsh oracle
10 years of experience vs 7 with a college degree
keen nest
Why do you think you see all these people talking about "college degrees don't mean shit anymore" lol
"college is a scam"
marsh oracle
Cause theyre dumb lol
You can look at financial outcomes for college degrees, you dont have to go based on vibes for these things
keen nest
The chicken and egg scenario in the job hiring process is stupid I agree, but yes for us personally we would have hired the person with more years of experience
eager parrot
college degrees aside from highly specialized stuff like data scientists and actuaries really don't mean shit after a certain number of years of experience in most fields
keen nest

eager parrot
it only impacts starting points when getting hired as an inexperienced out of college graduate
very generalized of course, it really depends
like if you are hiring for an education position, obviously their educational history has a higher weight
marsh oracle
But back to the point
Republicans portrayal of dei is fanfiction but people do love to eat it up as a scapegoat
eager parrot
it's not entirely misplaced, nor is it remotely as bad as republicans portrayed it to be
keen nest
Yeah that's a good way to put it
