  • I’m old enough to remember when Gamersgate/me too and companies were getting leaked everywhere, which really made them look bad. Like literally people were using their real Facebook name and going, “Scarlet Johansson is a feminist b**** c*** who should stay in her lane” and their job title right there.

    The first thing my job did was give everyone a warning that no personal things on work time and made everyone sign a contract. Then a few months later, our sister company got a bunch of leaks in the news about a sexist environment/sexual abuse. Then a few months after that, a bunch of people were “let go” for breaking that contract.





  • At my multinational, we typically hire in the hundreds every month for customer service. It’s like a $15/hr job, very baseline entry level, no experience needed. Because of that, there’s a constant churn. Most folks go for a year and leave for other jobs, or get promoted.

    Last year was the start of us rolling out AI tools. According to the year end report, our “customer score” skyrocketed, which tells the bosses that AI is great for customer service. Also a few months ago, I noticed we weren’t refilling Customer Service jobs as fast anymore.

    So these are the people who are getting squeezed out.

    I tried to figure out Mastodon a few months ago. I’m with you.

    Someone asked me to follow them on Mastodon. I couldn’t find them in the app. He sent me the direct link and it opened up a browser on my phone, refusing to recognize the app.

    I finally added them directly from a browser by by remembering which server I was in, log into that, visiting their link again, adding them from my logged in server, and then it finally appeared in the app.

    And if I’m dealing with thet level of monkeying around, how many others are? How the hell are we supposed to contribute and add content and find social circles when we’re fighting with the UI?

    Lemmy seems to have figured out how to not make a sucky experience with multiple servers.





  • At least make the shot count.

    My buddy with the fedora is really just looking for friendship first. He has a lot of female friends. Saw a girl with a cool shirt, brought it up, and they spent the hour talking and pretty sure they’re doing coffee dates now and moving into something more.

    Where my brother who is a gym rat goes around asking literally every woman under the sun if they want to have dinner. I watched him go up to the bartender, ask her out, get rejected, then while walking to the bathroom, get rejected by a girl waiting in line in the bathroom. He calls it a numbers game and is oblivious of how he sees women. Also yuck when he asked out the bartender.

    THERES NOTHING MORE STRAIGHT THAN BEING THE ALPHA MALE IN A SEA OF OTHER MALES.

    DOMINATE THE WEAKER MALES.

    MAKE THEM KNOW THEIR PLACE.

    DO NOT THINK ABOUT THEIR NON-ALPHA PENISES OR THEIR CUTE LITTLE BUTTS.

    FOR YOU, YOU ARE THE MOST ALPHA OF ALPHAS.
