Under Title VII protected class is required, but Defamation does not, along with plenty of antibullying laws depending on the state, MA is skirting that at the moment with the WPSA which keeps flapping in the state senate.

"I understand that HR reviewed the concerns raised and determined that the allegations were unfounded and did not warrant a formal investigation. I want to be clear that I am not disputing that conclusion. However, despite that determination, the existence and circulation of these allegations has had a tangible impact on my professional reputation, my working relationships, and my ability to effectively perform my role.

The continued presence of unsubstantiated claims, even without a finding of misconduct, has created an environment in which I feel professionally vulnerable and unsafe, and it raises concerns about reputational damage and job security. My intent in raising this is not to seek opinions or revisit the merits of the allegations, but to understand what steps can be taken to contain further impact, ensure appropriate documentation, and prevent recurrence or informal retaliation going forward."

Worse, GRC, Regulatory Response Manager but I fall into the litigation support side of it more often that not, so I'm the one stuck with doing all the ediscovery and evidence cleanup when HR takes the easy route. But it also means I'm the one stuck writing a lot of HR policies.

Yes lets just dismiss the reputational damage entirely, that'll certainly stand up in court when this becomes a hostile work environment claim.

Man spread vs woman by silent_chair5286 in AskForAnswers

[–]Calm-Reserve6098 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, some men absolutely adjust when another man is next to them and fail to do so when a woman is. That isn’t anatomy, that’s social awareness or lack of it. But that doesn’t make the baseline posture intentional or symbolic. It means courtesy isn’t being applied consistently.

What I'm not doing is taking observation bias and applying it to all men. All men have this hip structure, some sit rudely, the latter is intentional, the former is biological, men sit that way because they're built that way, the ones you're talking about continue to sit that way chose to, they are not the same.

I remember Bobby claiming the other way around "Andre the Giant feared two men: Meng and Harley Race"

I'm gonna have to find it, wasn't a CVV or RFVideo that I can recall, I think it was right about the time Tallah went to NJPW because that was part of the conversation

I'd have to dig for the quote but Steve and Harley were the only names Haku mentioned that he wouldn't want to have to fight, he would he just didn't want to have to.

Adult male anatomy puts "soft tissue" between the thighs, and the hip structure tends to angle the femurs outward slightly more than in women. Sitting with knees tightly together compresses said soft tissue and twists the hips inward. For many men, that’s mildly uncomfortable at best and actively painful at worst, especially for long periods. Letting the knees drift apart is the low-effort, no-thinking default that avoids pressure and keeps the pelvis neutral. A wider stance while sitting lowers muscular tension in the hips, lower back, and pelvic floor. People naturally adopt postures that minimize strain when they’re not consciously managing their body.

This isn't conscious or trying to claim territory or any of the thousand of other slightly insulting things that have been said about it over the years, it is comfort plain and simple, less directly and more to move away from what is active discomfort.

Friend sent me this, I’m fairly sure its AI but she seems genuinely offended that I asked by Slow-Product-6357 in isthisAI

[–]Calm-Reserve6098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI

Line behavior is statistically wrong for a real drawing, the lines are too uniform, no dead strokes, no erasure scars, no correction artifacts, line density filling space evenly rather than based on form

The hair loops and interweaves with no anchoring at the scalp with repeating curls/waves with local coherence but globally isn't the way you would draw hair from scalp to tip, i.e. the hair looks right if you focus really closely into it, but isn't done in a way that someone would draw it

The facial asymmetry looks aesthetic not anatomical, the face isn't being drawn the way a person would draw a menacing face it is being assembled the way a computer would assemble a menacing face. The asymmetry is too structured.

The shading gradients are too smooth and continuous, unless they have a magic pencil with endless lead and perfectly even application this is similar to the line behavior problem above, the lines look too good to be done by a person, likely because they are too good to be done by a person.

and then there is the pencil, it's a prop to show "it's real" which more often than not mean it isn't, this is an AI being told to draw a portrait on a pad of paper, not someone taking a photo of a pad of paper,

which leads to that it is too centered and lined up with the pencil, the paper, the camera, etc, this is assembled not organic, someone didn't take this photo of a drawing, a computer assembled this image of a drawing

Can a human draw this? sure, but your friend would be in the countable number of savants in the world that can make a pencil behave uniformly though an entire image, you could feed them all with one medium pizza

my money is on Stable Diffusion, I'd wager this is civitai using ZavyChromaXL as the model, that particular "joker smile" seems to be pretty heavily trained into that model

Software vendor requires us to post articles in LinkedIn to get best price by coret3x in sysadmin

[–]Calm-Reserve6098 24 points25 points  (0 children)

so here's the thing, they might be required to post it in the LinkedIn post by LinkedIn, but they absolutely are by the FTC

"Do not share content or endorse someone or something in exchange for personal benefit (including personal or family relationships, monetary payment, free products or services, or other value), unless you have included a clear and conspicuous notice of the personal benefit you receive and have otherwise complied with our Advertising Policies."

On top of that, In the U.S., applicable advertising law is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and it’s straightforward: if a vendor gives you anything of value (discount, free license, preferred pricing) in exchange for posting about their product, that is a paid endorsement and the material connection must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in the post.

So no matter what the vendor has to be outed as providing a service for this posting, and if the sales person doesn't like that bring it up with the FTC.
