This is a well known issue with refugees of hyper-authoritarian places. NK refugees discuss this a lot. Like the other person said, this is a well known phenomenon with freed prisoners, too. Basically you spent so much time conforming to a very, very, specific way of living, that you are stuck in that mind frame. Without a lot of therapy you are likely to be unable to adjust. Just like people who have been in abusive households their whole lives, yet return to them, because they can’t function, when they are in a freer circumstance.

This well understood issue.

She is the heiress to an industrial chemical corporation, with an aweful record, who uses her climate expertise, primarily, to spin positive PR for her, environment destroying, corporation.

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.

No, in 2025

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.

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.

Are you sure they aren’t making fun of sovcits?

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

Yeah something that could easily be taken as inciting a murder, is actually not legal under our free speech laws, so… Yeah, he has no choice in the matter.

Everyone knows that if someone threatened one of the stooges behind this tweet they would absolutely be crying to the website, and police, about it.

She made a skit cutting a fake head off as part of a skit, so it wasn’t even actually this serious.

Yeah, grandmother grew up in a family that had been poor farmers outwest, and midwest for a long time. They had like 10 guns, but that is because there was one rifle per person over the age of 12, plus a couple shotguns. Not for like having a shoot-out, but for killing problematic predators. Only my great grandfather had a hand gun, and he only had that because it was a gift from someone he did a bunch of work for. He rarely took it out of the box.
