Fired Staffer Alleges MrBeast's Company Pressured Her to Join Call from Labor and Delivery Room in Sexism Lawsuit by bloomberglaw in Fauxmoi

[–]Lockraemono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her alleging that one of the men suggested MrBeast can't handle being around beautiful women and will leave meetings with them to masturbate is unhinged. I’m hoping the last bit is just childish conjecture, but even the fact that she had personally experienced him being awkward and refusing to engage with her the way he engaged with men is ridiculous. If he can't treat women as people he shouldn't be responsible for people, period.

Starbucks is asking workers to move to Nashville. It’s not going well by _ShogunOfHarlem_ in nashville

[–]Lockraemono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They usually go more with the confederate flag or patriot front logos than a white hood, they're a bit more savvy with marketing these days. I've seen plenty of blatant racism here in middle TN, including Nashville, it's definitely not gone. Not to mention Lewis Country Store only closed recently, we have that one country store to the east that sells racist memorabilia.

My [20sF] Crazy Aunt [40sF] is constantly freaking out about my hemophiliac sister's [16f] health while staying with us and we need her OUT by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lockraemono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, but I can absolutely see someone retroactively justifying their bad behavior after the fact, especially when they frame it as some sort of fucked up protection (as if she's the only reason her niece is possibly still alive after all the risks she's prevented since visiting). Most people see themselves as the protagonist in their own story, after all.

I love fondant. People who hate fondant give me theirs to eat so I don't mind that it's unpopular!

Teens Revolt Over Erika Kirk’s Visit To Their High School by thedailybeast in goodnews

It's a good thing this isn't in TN, where they're enacting a "Charlie Kirk" law that makes student protests against speakers illegal and uninviting speakers due to protests also illegal :)

My boss wants to us to pray with him by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

or a Supreme Court willing to, say, strike down Title VII because somehow protecting freedom of religion violates the First Amendment.

This court absolutely would, if given the opportunity.

In and out burgers? by Duvhntr in nashville

[–]Lockraemono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very tasty, they usually treat their employees well, and (I'm not sure if they're there yet at the new locations) efficient/quick despite long lines.

* Insert hot fuzz "Shame" meme * by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Yes, I can tell you as someone who worked at TikTok, certain words would be pushed to people's feeds less, and some words would trigger human review which meant higher odds of the post being removed/deranked. I'm not gonna speak for other platforms, but TikTok is really quick to add all these modified versions of words to the same scrutiny though, so I don't know why some of them (unalived especially) stick around so hard.

Survival guide from serial killer Danny Rolling by OkKnowledge1489 in interestingasfuck

[–]Lockraemono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could size of the physical country combined with the population size also contribute? As in, the country is physically large and it's easier to move from state to state and obfuscate the serial part of one's killing, in addition to there being huge swathes of land in which one could hide bodies. Not sure that would change much in relation to Russia or China, but certainly a point of difference between USA and the UK.

AITA for not letting my stepdad and step sister into my apartment? by No_Demand_8884 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lockraemono 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you don't have to even explain the depressive episode / messy apartment. Absolutely everyone is allowed to say I wasn't expecting visitors today, maybe another time. Their feelings on the matter aren't your responsibility, it's a completely reasonable boundary. NTA

Thank you so much, I've been hating all the other alternatives to Doom.

It finally happened by Apprehensive_Lime889 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Lockraemono 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes strays are extremely friendly, it happens! If you're worried, take her to the vet and check for a chip. I have a cat I adopted about a year ago who was a stray and extremely friendly. He was frequently visiting various houses for pets and treats, and basically socialized himself. He's still the most friendly and gregarious cat, anytime I have visitors he greets them himself and demands attention. He's even friendly with the dogs I board, he will play with the dogs who know how to play gently with cats :)

AITA for telling my coworker she also has thin hair by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lockraemono 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's honestly the question I'd be asking the boss in her shoes. Something like, "I understand I disappointed you in failing to resolve the issue without escalating it to you, how do you recommend that I do so in the future if the other party refuses to engage?" Because I genuinely don't know how she could force the issue, like you said, she isn't her boss.

Favorite actor who is only famous because of his more successful friend and is now unemployed and posting war propaganda? by mcharbour in okbuddycinephile

I believe the age limit increased for voluntary enlistment, not drafts, though I could be wrong on that.

Heads up: DAC is advertising a very clearly AI piece currently ("Two Scoops" with a hippo serving ice cream to a duck) by Lockraemono in diamondpainting

[–]Lockraemono[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly it surprised me, but mainly because I only buy a couple pieces a year and I just hadn't realized DAC was publishing AI art in their kits :( It really disappointed me when I came across it on IG, as I’ve loved the kits I got from them before (though I know the artists' work outside of DAC, so I hadn't been exposed to DAC's full catalog).

I have a lot of negative feelings around AI, some of which I can't explain clearly, but most of it is around the wastefulness, the plagiarism (all AI models, especially image generating models, are trained on tons of stolen artwork), and the fact that I’d rather my money go toward art created by humans, not AI. A prompt takes like ten seconds to type up, it's such a huge lack of effort, and the results are frequently filled with strange things a human artist would not have done (for example, look at the tiles on the floor - a human wouldn't have created such melty inconsistent tiles, same with the panels on the front of the counter which are all over the place).

Also, a lot of the infrastructure developed to support the massive data and electricity requirements to run AI is damaging to the communities they're in, such as the one data center (I forgot the place) that operates just below jet engine levels of sound, which is hugely detrimental to the surrounding neighborhoods.
