The people who rise, who stay long enough to accumulate power and seniority, aren't all predators; but they are by and large--not universally, but mostly--people able to mesh with company and industry culture, to avoid damage and avoid being too impacted by the damage other people take. (cont'd)

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

So anyway anyone got a lead on some good remote jobs for people who are smart and hard working, but can't school their face when talking to assholes over zoom?

I'm sorry but I live on Earth, not in Wonderland, where a bunch of dogshit AI Boomer memes and spreading right wing lies about trans people can apparently end fascism.

It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have. If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

There isn't a gif for this one

Putting aside that there's still a pandemic going on, asking why protesters are wearing masks in an era where peaceful protest is resulting in being disappeared by the government shows a profound misunderstanding of the current moment.

Social distancing measures play an important role in COVID-19 prevention. A global-level study found that policies reducing contact among individuals, such as business/school closures and no gatherings, prevented 61 million cases across China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, France, and the US by the end of March 2020 [17]. A study of 340 cities in China predicted that a three-week-earlier intervention of travel restrictions and isolation could have reduced COVID-19 cases by 99%, while the cases would have been 67 times higher without the intervention [18]. Similar results have been estimated in the US: one study found that imposing stay-at-home orders one week earlier could have prevented 61% of infections and 55% of deaths by 3 May 2020 [19].

Making lists of undesirable Jews, for totally normal reasons.

the worst part of this for me is that now I know what Mr. Beast looks like and I have a thousand questions with no answers

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yes.

TFW You hired serial sexual predators and white nationalists to promote your game and people got mad and said you were making the games community unsafe.

Food for thought: When you key a Tesla, it's not Elon that has to repair the damage. It's hard working American auto body repair people. Which is to say, you're helping create valuable American jobs by keying Teslas.

We are still in the pandemic, right now.

The phrase you are looking for to describe 2020 is "early in the ongoing pandemic".

The phrase you are looking for to describe 2021 is "earlier in the ongoing pandemic".

Am I upset that the soundtrack is a medieval core cover of Walk Like an Egyptian and not of Walk the Dinosaur? yes. But I'll allow it.

@cloudtools.bsky.social I feel like this is on brand for us

You laugh, but you KNOW they both are caked up like a bakery with thighs that could crack walnuts.
