They're against the law being involved in twitter-piles ons because these people are already effective at mobbing people and enforcing their version of justice outside of that formal structure.  Once the political impartiality of the law comes into play,  they lose leverage in that game.

Do you ever check the "show ignored content" option in a thread and notice you don't even remember why you have ignored these people?

It's been happening somewhat frequently recently, I wonder if it means I should be more conservative with the ignore option. There are a couple of people I immediately understand the motive as soon as their most recent comments in any thread are revealed, but it's a lot more common that everyone else just has some random comment I see no problem with. Does that happen with anyone else? Should you un-ignore people in these cases?

DeJoy still having a job is a microcosm of what is wrong with Biden. He doesn't actually give a shit and will either drag his feet or just fail to do anything altogether (like fill vacancies or replace corrupt appointees) when it's within his power.

Dejoy can't be fired by Biden you do know this right?

Biden can appoint the people that fire him you do know this right?

There's fucktons of vacancies and fucktons of people that need to be swapped out that Biden is content to just ignore all over the fucking place in general.

you do know there’s no vacancies and that governors of the board for the post office can only be fired for dereliction of duty or criminal offense.

JFC people are actually arguing that DeJoy and his enablers don't have the right to be fired after the shit they've done.

Fuck this forum.

Edit: Holy shit motherfuckers still trying to explain to me things I'm already well aware of, thinking it somehow undermines my point rather than holding it up. As if Biden can't get people fired or light fires under their asses if he actually gave a shit (which is especially rich coming off of how many firings Trump did). Easier for people to just revert to "nothing to be done." Pathetic.

This is Musk trolling the "tax the rich" people. We've all seen these unfounded claims/memes running around that "world poverty could be solved by blah, blah, blah". He's just asking them to put his money where their mouths are. Show him the evidence and he'll fund it. Don't have any evidence to back up your claim, then fuck off.

If they don't have the evidence, then they are just contributing to the fake news epidemic that currently causes most problems in the world.

Eh, pretty sure Musk can also be stubborn or denialist in the face of some facts. He is trolling because he has no intention to follow suit regardless of evidence.

"both sides" has been such a demonized lens that it's like we're purging the idea from our brains, legitimately both have a point here

yes it's easy for musk to renege or move the goalposts

yes it's also easy to say "we can solve this fundamental survival issue for only 6 billion" without a real plan in place taking into account all the logistics

I really don't think you can solve it with such a simple number, heck I don't think the progress you'd make spending that much would lead to long lasting change...I think the organization he challenged had 4 billion last year?  and they didn't fucking 66% solve world hunger 

but what will happen is the people he challenges will say "no we're not playing that game" and he'll say "see? they can't" and both of them will have their cheerleaders thinking they won

2014. Got divorced (which was inevitable after dealing with some stuff after returning from deployment and finding myself in a terrible job); got fired from my job anyway; became directionless for a while; and after searching for several years, fell into an even worse job that broke me mentally.

Didn't really recover until 2018 at the earliest.

Funny how it all kicked off because I reprimanded two different bosses for being blatantly homophobic.

Was actually feeling sorry for this guy, then I read the reason at the end.

I imagine it was some mild ignorance on the part of the bosses, but this absolute    just had to 

[benjipwns]

So to answer ther questions it needs to be addressed at multiple fronts.

1. From the companies of social media, their reports systems needs to be updated in a way that if someone is attacked heavily, the accounts, once reported, need to be locked for a while, and if its a false report then the false reports need to be suspended for a time.

2. Anyone that has a verifiable work or school email has to submit that with a real name. My only concern with this is sales of data collected. Assuming its safe though, this would mean that if in the event of cyberbullying the students school or parents would be contacted. Or their employer would be contacted.

3. Make it harder to post constant comments. You have to wait a certain amount of time to post on social media after you make one Comment.

4. In real life set up classes that focus on behavior and lessons of how to act online, safety, and privacy. So students and employees know their rights, how to behave, and understand about why Cyberbullying is wrong.

5. Make it easier to do a report with the police for stalking and harassment so such things can be fully investigated

I think the important point is for the Democratic Party to acknowledge that the US is no democracy but an oligarchy and attaining meaningful change isn't a question of proper messaging or trying hard or voting even more blue, but it is a question of revolution. Societal interests and capitals interests have turned out to be polar opposites in the age of climate change, so a political system designed to give essentially veto player status to capital, is a death sentence.

Sigh.

Facebook and the propagation of targeted disinformation online has absolutely murdered American society.

I can hardly read the thread. Every other post is a regurgitation of Twitter or Facebook misinformation.

Culture wars and media/social media targeted propaganda has destroyed common ground between americans and created two different realities where even basic truths can no longer be agreed upon.

Democrats are done. See yall in 2028. Goddamnit

Bernie supporters are worst than trump to me.

Being alive in the world right now generally sucks

Yes, the country is divided but you are kidding yourselves if you can't see of clear trend of it (both of these "divided" sides) shifting rightwards pretty consistently lately. Trump is the symptom not the cause. The center line just keeps going rightwards and we are starting to see a lot things we've taken for granted like principles of democracy being challenged. Sorry to say, but I'm start to think we are actually approaching (or maybe even reached) the point of no return. Things are only going to accelerate from here onward. Buckle up, guys.

I personally think we're losing 2024. Granted, a lot can happen but I think there's just tons of minefields that'd sink anyone. Unless Trump fucking dies I think he's got it on lock.

We are losing 2024 regardless.

Hard to have faith in this country. Like, legit, if they get majority power, all signs point to an actual coup and the elimination of whatever little democracy America actually had.

In a big picture sense, this is all terminal stuff to see. It's not "bad." It's the beginning of the end in a political sense.

Nonsense? Dude, you have people in office and winning campaigns to be in office saying the previous election was stolen. We're literally in a slow moving coup. Open your eyes.

You have to be fucking kidding me. Is there going to be a next time when they instill systems that sabotage the vote, and that they openly reject the will of the public by saying it's tainted and stolen? That's their tactic, their MO, and it's staying that way because not a soul has been punished yet.

But hey, when Republicans get majority again, they'll clearly let "the will of the people" speak without any planned sabotage or attempts to nullify that. No sir, those ideas never even got entertained by people all inside the political system...there's nothing to stop them if there's full R majority in the house and senate, which is what likely stopped them in January.

My goal is to start my Master's next year and hopefully be out of the country by 2025 (but I'd be looking for an Ed Tech job and most of those are probably going to be in America, so that may not pan out....), so as callous as it sounds hopefully whatever the result is won't be my problem. I don't see any possibility of the country moving left as a whole though, and "center" is just going to continue to move more and more to the right, I want to get out before I can't get out.

yep. Dems are done. Way to fuck everything up.

Why do we have to work so hard and struggle to overcome people acting against their best interests?

My workplace is very toxic, and it's been toxic since the day I transferred. Something traumatic happened to be last fall, and It was the biggest reason I decided to go back to school; I only work once a week now, so I don't really have to deal with it anymore. However, I worked a couple of days ago, and I found out everyone has been talking shit about me, including my co-workers/supervisors, people I trusted and people I've said nothing but good things about and even someone I thought was my friend.

It is my last straw, I want to start a (not literal) fire, and I don't even care if I get fired at this point. I want to call all those bitches out so bad. I know it's wrong, but I've protected them for so long, and clearly, nobody cares about me enough to stand up for me, so I don't care anymore.

You guys might tell me to just ignore it or tell my boss, but when it's my direct boss who I have been 'friends' with for 6 years have been talking shit about me. I don't care.

i get that shit-talking happens everywhere, but when it's lies and it's not even true then it gets to a whole new playing ground.

Well...Let's go down the list, shall we?

I'm strict
evil
homophobic (I'm fucking bi)
Doesn't do anything (those bitches always call me for help)
Horrible to customers (customers love me)

Someone I work with who I trust told me and gave me receipts.

Also, these bitches aren't worth the bridges.

Ohh...I don't blow up at people, I will just make them feel really horrible about themselves.

It's especially easy to build a negative reputation if you only work once a week, less time to have positive social interactions with people in the break room, and you're likely working more on that day you're in office so you have less time and patience for social breaks.

The OP kinda proves out that the dude would likely be hard to work with though, he sounds overly sensitive and dramatic (shocking, someone on ERA is dramatic)... like, you already think your workplace is toxic, is it any wonder the people who work there don't like you?

So there is one way to call them out that works... but having the right demeanor is an art. Basically in your head you pretend it's all a joke and joke about these things up in the right situations. It shows you know about what they said but it disarms them when you take it this way.

For example If you called someone out about an LGBT issue but then you add "oh wait I can't say that I'm homophobic"

When they call you for help. "Sorry can't help I dont so anything" but you have a disarming laugh after and go over and ask them what you need to do.

This advice is essentially "become even more insufferable by being incredibly passive aggressive"

Dad told me I have “low moral standards” and I could never match his inner strength for no other reason than I’m an atheist. I wonder what he would say now that I’ve been taking care of him by myself since his stroke almost six years ago.

User poses an actually kind of interesting question in the Constructive thread:

Can we please censore the F word in the thread titles? I live in Iran and the government here will block urls based on words. So if enough people here were to visit such threads Resetera might end up getting blocked entirely.
On top of that most swear words in thread titles are unnecessary, look at the new CoD OT.

Users empathize and discuss:

I'm not a mod, but this honestly doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I'm not sure we really need blatant swearing in thread titles.

Hmm, I'd feel quite uncomfortable restricting my "free speech" (so to speak) just so some super restrictive regime doesn't take offense with it.

I wonder if a workaround could be for the title to show it but the URL to change it to f$@% somehow (not sure if that's possible but it seems like it could be).

This might be a tolerable solution if its possible.

I mean I don't think it's really curtailing free speech as much as just asking people to be considerate in thread titles specifically. I mean you all know how much I swear.

The regime taking offense means the Iranian people won't be able to access this website freely.

Morrigan Morrigans:

Tbh I'm surprised it's not banned there already. My site is banned in Russia, lol. Russian visitors just use a VPN...

Curious to see if staff address the post, and if so if they'll go with Morrigan's 'lol use a VPN'.

Messofanego in that coworkers talking crap thread:

It sounds like they want a bit of power so they have found a weaker target to bully, maybe because they were bullied in school so want to take it out on someone else? Don't give them the satisfaction, just report to HR and leave after you've found a replacement job.

He's supposedly a therapist, right?
