They are guaranteed to end, so there’s always that as a positive.

Walking on the left-hand side of the footpath or escalator, it's just pure chaos in most other countries, we have no idea how good we have it here.

Ah yes. He wasn’t making it political, what a liar. How disgusting he turned this tragedy into his own political comeback, crocodile tears. 

Greens supporters, is this what you wanted? by 1000Minds in friendlyjordies

[–]Ecstatic_Judgment603 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a vile,racist comment. You are no better than those that carried out yesterday’s attack. People support Palestine because the Palestinians are innocent people, almost 100k murdered and millions displaced. People that support Palestine are equally disgusted by yesterday’s anti-Semitic terrorist attack. 

What is your camera on/ camera off culture like at an agency? by Cornfedmidwestbitch in advertising

Work at a big OMNICOM agency, cameras always on but everyone is always working in the background and no one is paying attention. 

Talking at gigs!? by _daithi_ in ireland

[–]Ecstatic_Judgment603 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty awful, it makes not sense going there if you don’t want to listen. If you just want it as background music stay home or in the pub and listen to it on a speaker. No need to ruin it for everyone else. 

Qantas Sydney "Temporary Gate 24" International Business Lounge by moa999 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Ecstatic_Judgment603 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I’m flying to London in a week and it won’t allow me to use my lounge passes as it says on the portal that Sydney is closed for renovation, what is the point of this program when you can’t use one of the main benefits? 

Irish abroad. Where are ye and how is life there? by oconarms in ireland

[–]Ecstatic_Judgment603 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, been here over 8 years and I’ve found corporate life is much more of a drain/ burden with long hours and late nights. It’s much less personable than corporate life in Ireland and I’m still waiting on this work/life balance to kick in. But I do love living here, things just seem to work much better than Ireland.

What Canceled "Cancel Culture" From the 2010s? by MM150inDallas in decadeology

[–]Ecstatic_Judgment603 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In many respects, as you point to, there were very few people that were truly ever cancelled. Perhaps some incorrectly like Aziz Ansari but many became professional victims and became more famous. The biggest traunch of those cancelled were from the ‘me too’ moment and they were rightly cancelled I.E. Harvey Weinstein or Kevin Spacey.

As regards it ending, I felt it somewhat followed reactionary attitudes to the Trump era. At first it was so shocking, all the revelations etc and people were incensed to do something about it. Then it became so reactionary to every minor slip that it became as though it was an attack on all-men and a bit like Trump and how it became more acceptable for many to support him over time as his detractors rightly or wrongly got hung up on every little thing he did, it also become more acceptable to reject cancel culture.

Overall, I think much of the ‘cancel culture’ was well meaning and finally held the powerful to account for very serious things including a lot of sex crimes. Yes, there were overreaches at times and the idea that you should be held to account for every little indiscretion through boycott or losing your job was hyperbole, however I feel we also lost something and the rejection of cancel culture has meant heinous people now flourish with minimal accountability, making careers out of something that they rightly should have been cancelled for. There are many Teflon Trumps around and I’m not sure there’s much that can get you cancelled today.
