I think this too, but I think the reason people get desensitized to it is that it just happens so frequently that it turns into background noise. Similar to alarm fatigue that nurses experience in ERs. Sort of an interesting piece of alarm fatigue is that too many warnings make people ignore them completely, and we get increasingly alarming news about climate almost daily at this point.
Anyone who just read the headline needs to actually go read the article. It’s not very long. Not that the headline is misleading, he absolutely said those things, but the whole thing is just the most deranged rant. Cain somehow got from being mad about changing the slogan to “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow” to immigrants want to make America into Somalia in two moves.
Well kudos to that engineer for absolutely nailing the assignment.
They are pretty similar in a lot of ways. Like how Matt Walsh walks around with a gallon of meth on most days, and he probably has kids tied to his radiator in his basement so he can grape them. Just uncanny really.
What kind of tech do you work in specifically? You might be able to pivot to a different role instead of completely changing careers. I only say this cause I did it a few years ago to gtfo of security. Turns out that made a world of difference for my stress levels. Now feel like I’m doing something instead of asking people constantly to do basic security configs and to patch their shit that hasn’t been patched for 5 years.
Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?
Asmongold is a megaphone for shitty opinions. Like I posted elsewhere he’ll change his opinion if he gets called out, but the damage was done when he put it on the megaphone in the first place. His take on the “never play defense” is to not have any actual opinions when confronted then just go right back to saying other right wing bullshit.
Yep they actively campaigned against the petition and fundamentally misrepresented it.
10 months ago PirateSoftware started a campaign against it starting here-ish: https://youtu.be/ioqSvLqB46Y
Also 10 months Asmongold did a react video that supported PirateSoftware: https://youtu.be/AhVsyhjcndw
PirateSoftware refused to acknowledge that he got several things wrong, and even refused to acknowledge it when confronted. He actively bans people with dissenting opinions in his stream so it wasn’t surprising that he refused to acknowledge that he was wrong. About a week ago Charlie (aka Penguinz0) confronted him about it and he still refused respond to basic factual inaccuracies: https://youtu.be/6sJpTCitKqw
Ross did a video talking about the whole thing last week as well: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo
There’s a lot more to it, but that’s the broad strokes. I hope PirateSoftware’s stream keeps declining until he is relegated to complete obscurity. Also, PirateSoftware can eat my entire ass.
Both are past 100k now! I want to issue a special “fuck you” to all the idiot streamers that tried to kill SKG. And of course a special “go fuck yourself” to PirateSoftware and Asmongold for being fuckwit right wing tools for corporations. You have a special place in my heart as illiterate lapdogs to shitty corporations and right wing shills.
Well if the son of god had filed all the right paperwork and gone through the proper channels then he wouldn’t be getting deported.
I have no problem with unions and I’m extremely pro-union. I’m also practical and not naive enough to think that you can join a union in every job. They don’t exist for a lot of jobs at all and you have to be very diligent to be able to form one without losing your job from unjustly being fired.
What I hate is people giving shitty advice so they can feel superior. “Join a union” is great advice if your job/field already has one. “Join a union” when someone has a work dispute with their clearly non-union employer is idiocy and belittling to the person that is asking the question. I made the analogy above, so I’ll turn your question on its head, do you think depressed people should just try to be happy? Because it’s the same level of advice as, “Join a union” in this instance.
Holy fuck you all are a bunch of callous assholes. Telling someone to “join a union” or “ask your union” about it are fucking mental. Do you really think OP is working a union gig or are you really that stupid to think you just go out to the union store and ask for one union card? How is this helpful to anyone who is in a non-union job working for a non-union company. I’ll bet you all are the same people that tell depressed people to “just be happy.” It’s just useless, if not ourtright malicious, advice to give someone.
Absolutely understand the point of view, but also think the doomer mentality is exactly what those fuckers want. I know this will be a huge shocker, but the richest people running around causing the most pollution are broadly made up of actual narcissists. They don’t care about the future past themselves, and they don’t care why people quit giving a shit as long as they can continue with their lifestyle. Oil companies are also just fine with doomers, too, as long as they aren’t actually doing anything about it.
I think the doomers have alarmed me almost more than the deniers. I can’t really argue with them like I can deniers, because they are working on the same set of facts. All I can do is basically plead with them to start giving a shit, which is almost as ineffective as arguing with deniers. I think more painfully is that it means we’ve just given up on trying to make things better. That we’re ready to just lay down and let the planet be squeezed by the greed of a few. Which means that we’ve given up on even a CHANCE that we’ll make the changes necessary to stop climate change.
Trying to stop that well funded greed train means taking a LOT of L’s. I’m just not a person that gives up easily. I genuinely believe that if we all keep hammering on it then it still has a chance of changing. That if we keep it as a priority that we can at least stick it to those greedy fuckwits a tiny bit. More than that though it means that we still have a chance to actually tackle this problem, where the doomer mentality takes that chance away.
On the other hand, I also spend my free time hand writing letters to conservative politicians to get them to replace Confederate statues with statues of John Brown. So my tolerance for pissing into the wind is quite high.
