]What's up with all these shit heads and their names? The Quartering? Dr. Disrespect? Seriously, what kind of branding they're going for?

H.Bomberguy, Chapo Trap House, Cum Town, Matthew Yglesias, videos aleatorios pra alegrar seu dia merda & every Twitter account these days ?

The real question is how come Ree always knows all the worst YT'ers and everything about them? I often see Ree claming YT's algorithm forces alt right/nazi channels onto their recommended lists but that seems like total bullshit. I saw one random Quartering vid pop up when I was searching for something. I clicked on it, saw a fat greasy beardo crying about getting his head kicked in by a trans, had a good laugh at the silly wanker and switched off. YT has never recommended me his stuff or any of the other angry nutters that Ree never watches but somehow knows intimately.

I'm looking forward to the thread where he talks about how he was unfairly fired.
I agree with the WSJ but I don't think it is just WFH.

Early on WFH worked great because everyone had their tasks and they could focus on them.
Now, when all that work is finished and new projects begin things are harder to manage and after months it is really apparent who is productive and knows what he/she's doing without depending on others for much of the work and who isn't.
Some of our people also realized that it is easier to switch jobs now, especially developers and people working two part time jobs have decided to focus on one.

With 3 people leaving for various reasons (new job, unable to keep up, focus on another job) that will also make some support type jobs redundant.
For me and my partners it likely means downsizing our company from 13 to about 8 or 6 people.

I think it's hard to stay productive when the world is burning down around your ears and you honestly can't imagine where we will all be in 12 months time. I'm actually doing alright working from home, and I'm grateful for the extra time with my wife and daughter, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't shelved all my future plans. Shit's messed up.

Yeah I'm fine with working from home, I've been actually in a position of just keeping 800+ users being able to work from home extremely busy,
 as all the changes on servers and update rollouts that we've had to do to combat peoples shitty home wifi etc, been a challenge but pretty rewarding I've learnt a ton which I always love.
I sure as hell am sore that I took a 20% pay cut and there have been people on furlough also getting 80% without having to do any work, but whatever I'm in a job so that's good enough for now.
My house purchase fell through due to this and also the wedding (next year) could be fucked but eh just got to keep planning for that and looking for other houses I guess...

I will say that we have had a lot of staff who have been absolutely so lazy that it's ridiculous, but when the first round of redundancies happened they all got made redundant....
It's a harsh reality at the moment that companies will not carry dead weight and if they can find enough reason to get rid of an employee they absolutely will, when in the past they may have been more lenient.

I agree with that. Calling all democratic foreign policy "right wing" when there are clearly elements of it that don't like the whole Imperialism thing while also understanding that Geopolitics and America being a superpower means even when we try to be the "good" guy we fuck up doesn't help.

You know how many people cheer on America "depowering itself" who use that rhetoric and fail to realize it'll be either China or Russia replacing us on the global stage? America is no saint but I have hope we can change the problems here. China/Russia? Less so.

Yeah, no. There's a lot of "myths" that surround the idea of the "fat person" in society that the NHS and society is partly responsible for, so this post isn't just aimed in response to you.

BAN THE NHS

He went to the doctor about his weight and they told him to open his mouth and say oink.
When they ran his blood tests, his blood type came back as Ragu.
The doctor told him he was morbidly obese, and when he asked for a second opinion, they said "Sure. You smell bad too".
The doctor told them their landlord had been in recently with a similar complaint, asking how to get rid of a couple of hundred lbs of ugly mass. Bad news is they're getting evicted.
He asked them to get onto the Alexa enabled scales, and Alexa said "one at a time please".
The doctor assured them that by the end of the consultation they'd have a plan to lose 150 pounds. The receptionist accepts cash, credit and debit cards.

I wouldn't be so riled up by those incredibly naive arguments in favour of US hegemony (besides the glaring imbalance of military assets and presence outside borders with any other "Great Power") if they had least acknowledged that first and foremost it's about protecting "national interests". That part always seem to go unmentioned or watered down in favour of arguments over a nebulous benevolent world order. Maybe because saying it out loud means you have to extend the same reasoning to Russia or China and it deflates tales of simplistic morality.

I cba to link this thread the other day, but:
China has been spending quite a bit to gain diplomatic favors in the past.

Meanwhile, the US has a leadership that is incapable to deal with anything and EU likes to sit around quietly and act like they do anything and matter.

Certainly bad times for anyone who enjoys freedom.

:usacry

from article:
Quote
“[Qu] is certainly qualified on paper. He has the right experience to be in this position,” said Kimberly Flowers, an expert on food security issues at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “If it was anyone else from any other country, I don’t think it would be a big deal.”

Also China having ~20% of the worlds population, you would expect in a fair system genuinely representing the people of earth to hold around 1/5th of the positions, and for the US with its ~5% population to hold around 1/20th.

What are some examples of tsundere characters?


Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night, Chidori Kaname from Full Metal Panic!, Aisaka Taiga from Toradora are all examples of tsundere.

A majority of main heroines from Takahashi Rumiko

manga (Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, Maison Ikkoku) are

tsundere or show tsundere traits.

Finally, it's worth noting that Asuka Langley Soryu is usually seen as a deconstruction of tsundere.

The TV Tropes page on tsundere is worth checking out for more examples.

I mean... assuming this guys a brit from the use of arsey, there's a kernel of truth to this that the messaging on masks has been pisspoor from our government, mainly due to their fuckup meaning if they'd pushed for them earlier there would have been shortages for people that really needed them while dipshits stockpiled with the toilet paper, and scalpers make a windfall, but its also fucking idiotic to pretend that things don't change or that 'science' only gets one shot to make an eternal proclamation.

The news companies are settling because they were wrong and misrepresented the entire interaction. From the longer video you can see that the Native American fellow walks up to the MAGA kid when initially it was spun as the opposite.
How hard is it to just side with the powerless person? Who cares how it started.

Unless that powerless person is a teenage boy whose character and behaviour was misrepresented by a giant multinational media organisation, obvs.

the black israelites at that event are also higher on the stack than the white kid, are we siding with them too?

Fatty on deathbed: DAMN NHS DOCTORS, THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HELP!

Doctor:  :doge

Thank all those progressives.  Fat is the new skinny. Shame should not exist. A body used to be a temple, now they are becoming one.

That’s cool. I’m glad he loves it. I hope people don’t try to use this however to downplay other more critical interpretations.

:umad

(a subset of) Americans with some element of Japanese ancestry: "STOP APPROPRIATING MY CULTURE"
Japanese people in Japan: "This shit is dope"

I don't quite understand what the critic is. They're upset that it's not accurate enough about the samurais being dick rulers? What happened to "it's just a game" "muh historical accuracy is a white supremacist dog whistle"
Which is kinda hilarious, because the game is actually showing that samurais are dicks. You shouldn't expect outstanding writing, but it's far more nuanced than I expected.
People grasping straws again to write they are tired  :doge

"just side with the powerless person"
 :mindblown

living with this philosophy, under what circumstances would it ever be appropriate to not side with the powerless person?

the black israelites at that event are also higher on the stack than the white kid, are we siding with them too?

Police arrest == being kidnapped

I can't believe they don't just harass and cancel people on social media like everyone else. Who even made these so called police law enforcers I never voted for them.

How disgusting that undercover NYPD cops are not wearing their uniforms so we know when to run

I just think it's funny how they think cops read you your rights everytime you are arrested.  Or in this case "thrown in the back of a van like it's Nicaragua in the 80's."
In reality they take you in, issue a citation or notice to appear before court, and release you the next day.  Like what happened here.  They don't need to read her Miranda Rights because they aren't going to interview her, they have all the proof they need to say she needs to appear before the court.

But that was some shady ass, disappearing act.  https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/disappearances/

The point of the act is to make sure everyone sees it.

I guess in this case at least you know it's the NYPD (perhaps...?) shoving you into a civilian car and not some unnamed federal agency in indistinct fatigues operating on an unknown mandate.

So, you can either grunt, grit your teeth and realize that maybe you can make some damn lemonade from these old, white, moderate lemons that at times says some weird shit or you can continue to sit here and keep elevating shitty takes.

Just cause you may feel a certain way doesn't mean you gotta let the whole world know it.

tl;dr
a little less persecution complex, a little more hope yeah?

Part of me is curious on if these nouveau socialist that arose during 2016 even know how politics works, or if they are just another subset of people radicalized by the interwebs.

Biden's taking questions. Time for Rose Twitter and the Trump War Room Twitter to mysteriously all say the same things after this

It's been an OT thread ever since the purge.

I know people here got their intro to socialism through Chapo or Chapo adjacent media and I'm not knocking that, but just for me I learned about socialism through living through our capitalist hellscape, watching the state enact systemic violence through police brutality, and learning about history and theory. I didn't need a podcast or YouTube series to radicalize me, the reality of our existence radicalized me. I feel like a lot of this "gateway" media has people hung up on this early stage of leftism and unable to expand their horizons and worldviews past that. I would like to see more leftist media people talk about actual theory and praxis but that doesn't bring in the Patreon bucks lol.

Seems era mods just can't help themselves from fucking up. Thread on Japan's response to comfort women statue in South Korea gets someone banned for seemingly nothing. People ask why they've been banned, apparently no response from the mod team. Person gets unbanned and rightfully flames mods

Quote from: tophu, post: 41056086, member: 10965
Did not expect for me, a Korean, to receive a lecture from a mod about comfort women being a sensitive issue but thank you, whoever you are... I will never forget it. Do me a favor and please perma-ban me instead so I can learn my lesson properly.

Apparently nothing has been accomplished from the Asian era “meeting” so I don’t want anything to do with this website again anyway. Thank you to those defended me, I sincerely appreciate it.

Hold an asian era meeting and then fuck up straight away

For this particular ban, reviewing the discussion involved, it appears that this user had been reported reported multiple times. To explain the thought process behind the ban, the first post seemed antagonistic ("Who gives a shit?). And in the follow up post, even though the mod team agreed that this user was criticizing the government, we thought that, on balance, saying "the Japanese government should worry about more important things" seemed overly dismissive. Since the subject of comfort women is a painful subject to the people of many Asian countries, and since the statue was ultimately meant to spark discussion, indicating that the Japanese government should ignore the statue (instead of issuing an apology) seemed problematic. However, after getting feedback on this ban, and after consultation with additional staff, we realized we overextended and have opted to undo the ban. Apologies to tophu and to the thread at large.
