This is what happens when postmodern subjectivity is applied to real life. Your intent when you speak doesn't matter, only the interpretation of the person you're saying it to, and they can interpret it however they want. If they want to be offended, they will. That's why we have the "I like pancakes/so you hate waffles" effect.

He got fired for complimenting his HR manager… so the podcast host made him repeat it in front of another HR rep live on air. Guest: “I got fired about two months ago for making inappropriate statements.” Host: “What did you say?” Guest: “I told my HR manager, ‘Oh, you look kind of good today.’” Host: “You said that to HR?” Guest: “Yes.” Host: “Wait. We have our own Head of HR here. Say it again.” The guest thought it was just a harmless compliment. His company clearly saw it differently. The takeaway: In the workplace, your intent may be innocent but the way your words are received can still have serious consequences.

@BukeBeyond @CT0347635474175 @AbakpaJob Im sure that sounded very profound in your head, but you can just pay electrical engineers and plumbers and such and they'll, y'know, do those things. For money. Under capitalism.
Real question is who's cleaning the sewers in your communist utopia.

@CT0347635474175 @AbakpaJob you will have to build your own electrical grid, water, roads, and everything on your lovely capitalism of course.

In Seattle, the minimum wage is $21.30/hr, and tipped workers still have to be paid that before tips.
Some waiters and waitresses at high-end or high-volume restaurants can make insane money.
There are servers clearing six figures, and in the right restaurant, $200K is possible.
Customers are still being socially pressured to tip 20–25% like the server is making $2.13/hr, even when the base wage alone is higher than what a lot of entry-level office jobs pay.

@PaulyTheFrog Silver lining, if you girlboss hard enough you can afford a nursing home that hires above 90 iq nurses to die alone in.

Are you winning ladies. Just FYI dying alone without children is a very difficult thing to do. It really sucks, because you have no family to count on cuz your mom and dad are dead everybody in your immediate family is probably dead or old. Yeah sounds like a great life lady.

If its too obscene for a school board meeting, its too obscene for middle schoolers.
English
@uncomfybrain @WebHeadAK @nephsons1 @nonregemesse When state governments & "parents' rights" (Old Testament fundamentalist) groups decide what's "age-appropriate", then anything that disagrees with their world view is considered not "age-appropriate". That's why a lot of books with LGBTQIA+ & POC characters & writers get pulled.

There’s an episode from Cheers where Frasier and another guy are quoting from Richard II and Cyrano de Bergerac.
34 million Americans watched this episode.

Ten years ago you could make jokes about Jane Eyre and Dracula on twitter and most people would get them; nowadays I have to explain references to Alice in Wonderland and The Hobbit as if we’re living in a very on-the-nose film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451.

Game companies shilling for feminists will never not be funny to me. They did the same with Valhalla, male Eivor on the box/debut CGI trailer but female Eivor is canon apparently
Even Mass Effect, BioWare will never convince me Shepard is female when practically 99% of promotional art/CGI trailers featured Male Shepard
They just do this to appease to activists while keeping the actual demographics money. It’s stupid. The male characters are canon, otherwise they wouldn’t be on the box.
Don’t care if some dev says “um actually” if it were true yall wouldn’t have put the men forward first & you know it

@ARandomName68 @Dakota_McM @bethbourdon That's all I'm saying dude. What good does it do to preserve the life of an evil person? Why give him a chance to do it again? Just to adhere to the constitution? Fuck that.

@ummanywayTen @searedbite5 @Dakota_McM @bethbourdon I don't think raping an 8 yr old for 5 years then killing her is pushing any sane person's definition of reasonable.
English
@searedbite5 @Dakota_McM @bethbourdon Yes, if you give people an inch they will take a mile. You start just letting them kill people with no pushback when convicted the line where it’s reasonable lowers

@searedbite5 @Dakota_McM @bethbourdon ....and then taking a victory lap on twitter. "Guilty as sin, but I made sure they're the taxpayers problem for 50 years uwu 🤪"
English
@Dakota_McM @bethbourdon So if I'm understanding your viewpoint correctly, if a guy rapes a kid and is arrested and found guilty and his attorney gets him a plea deal down from the death penalty, the attorney has done a morally righteous thing by keeping a pedophile alive?

@micvoness @eatprima So the same people who say two eggs a day will kill you, oughta eat a bowl of Frosted Flakes instead. Gotcha.

Prima bars replaced seed oils with beef tallow
Tallow is packed with stearic acid, vitamins D & K2, and cholesterol — the raw materials your body uses to produce testosterone.
Pair that with 21g of minimally processed protein + raw honey, and you have the ultimate protein bar

Why are women so repulsed by the idea of a man they know and trust falling in love with them? The dude knows you and decided none of your flaws are deal breakers, and now he wants to spend his life with you. Why is that a bad thing? How is that, in any sense, a betrayal?

@Shadow_ofaDoubt @ScorpioDragon84 Out-and-in was stage one. Blowing was stage two. The rare stage three was wedging an empty Marlboro pack in. Dont care about the science. I know what I saw.
English
The interesting part is, the study was correct, but they reported on the entirely wrong results, this shows the disconnect between science and practical application.
The act of blowing on the cartridge did essentially nothing unless it has been out collecting dust for some time, it was re-seating the cartridge that made the difference.
And after it was studied and shown that the blowing was useless, they came out and said "Blowing does nothing!", which is technically true, but they did not emphasize the actual important thing which was "You should take it out and put it back in, skip the blowing".
That wasn't reported anywhere, so people just thought whoever did the study was an idiot because the whole act of removing the cartridge and blowing clearly did something. The results should have been "You can skip the final step" but what was reported was "You shouldn't do it at all."
English
An apolitical example of why nobody takes experts seriously any more. Some study apparently demonstrated that blowing on a cartridge "does nothing" and it went against the lived experience of pretty much everybody.

Because the defense didn’t want Karmelo’s past conduct to become an issue.
According to a fellow student, he had a reputation for getting into fights. A local mall security officer also claimed he was well known for causing problems there. There were also reports that he had previously been disciplined at school, including an allegation that he threw a chair.
The defense agreed not to introduce character evidence, because doing so could have opened the door to evidence they believed would be more damaging to their own case. Given the evidence presented at trial, they were already facing an extremely difficult path. And they knew it. courttv.com/news/karmelo-a…
