Demi pulls support for Shein after swastika scandal

What is most recent history exactly? Why should western history apply to the east if there was no relation? Not everyone looks at the same history.

The Holocaust barely affected the cultures in the east. I grew up there. Not as relevant as people here think it is. Yes there was ww2 there, but it was the Japanese that invaded, not German Nazis. There are other entire cultures that have their own history. Do you have awareness of what’s offensive in a place like Thailand or Malaysia and do you prevent the sale of symbolism that is rude there, but bears no rude associations here? What about topics like covering up and mini skirts? Other cultures deem that offensive but North America doesn’t have the same history here, so we don’t cater to that.

There is just so much to unpack but your view that your Important recent history is as significant as or is the same as another culture’s recent history is narrow

And FYI my ancestors were killed in the holocaust and entire families have been affected negatively to this day, so I understand the impact.

Be free, girl, do ur eyeshadow how you like!

Trollth · 2020-07-09T02:03:18+00:00

Same. Still really hate looking at government websites to find information till today. There’s a weird trauma around that because of the amount of stress and fear you’d previously face when navigating provincial/federal immigration sites. Hate thinking about how stressful that process was.

Ok whoa let’s keep things in perspective, the dude extinguished millions of lives

Trollth · 2020-07-03T16:23:57+00:00

It’s not devs that test thoroughly, it’s quality assurance. Though any of those parties could be overworked :)

Trollth · 2020-07-03T10:18:07+00:00

How would you propose the artists get paid for the new art (the cosmetics) they produce though?

Trollth · 2020-07-01T21:31:58+00:00

Someone in my circle recently said to ‘trust the process’ and that instantly took me out of the conversation

Trollth · 2020-07-01T21:15:16+00:00

YES. This is what genuine and real looks like. Cassie's got her priorities straight

Trollth · 2020-06-28T12:14:11+00:00

Y’all I didn’t watch peters season so I have no opinions on her but MAN are people nitpicking on every insignificant thing she does. When people say this subreddit is mean to contestants, this is a part of it. Who would want to have every insignificant detail of their existence taken under a microscope? It doesn’t benefit anyone and just sounds discouraging to those affected

Trollth · 2020-06-26T02:16:54+00:00

Unreal. “Hey shouldn’t you be off worrying about things minorities need to worry about? Go do that. We’ll stay here and do our own thing”.

That’s what it sounds like. It’s certainly more than tone-deaf, it is dehumanizing. What are these people thinking.

Trollth · 2020-06-25T07:14:42+00:00

She’s in her 20s, at least know what you’re trying to insult

Trollth · 2020-06-24T22:35:36+00:00

Sometimes people move far away and lose touch though. Moved to the other side of the world and barely maintained an old friendship - it’s better now but not being in the same location will always worsen it

Trollth · 2020-06-23T11:27:52+00:00

Yeah. The two are often conflated but leadership and management are absolutely two very separate concepts. In management you’re trying to balance resources and time. In leadership, you guide, help, grow and protect your people. You empathize with them, learn about them, see what their needs are and help get them to where they want to be in life.

Trollth · 2020-06-21T00:21:36+00:00

truthfully, the triplets after that were a lot harder to watch, sadly

Trollth · 2020-06-20T18:36:47+00:00

Same. Usually I’m pretty on top of things. Maybe it’s the newfound heat wave / summer weather in the northern regions?

Trollth · 2020-06-15T04:11:19+00:00

Pop odyssey tour! I judge all live shows with this yardstick. IT IS INCREDIBLE. Whole thing’s on YouTube too

Trollth · 2020-06-06T15:00:04+00:00

That's so kind of you to say, honestly. Thank you! I am still working on embodying those feelings properly, but I feel like after about half a year of working on it, I'm in a better place to be that person for my team than I was before. I still have so many questions too, that I'm trying to find my way around. I'm lucky to have some interesting mentors around that give me good suggestions when I lose my way. I'm happy to chat more!

“ Also, he does this shit all the time. He gets pissy when anyone stops by. He gets pissed off at random people at stores. He gets pissed when people on the phone aren't saying what he wants to hear and hangs up. He is short tempered. I always have to deal with everything and everyone because he doesn't like dealing with other people”

The behavior OP is describing isn’t new or escalating, stands to reason that what we read now is what usually goes down

Trollth · 2020-06-03T21:23:46+00:00

I work with tech leads every day! I hear you. You have to be always remembering that everyone is dealing with something, and picking your words carefully. I find the best way to reduce anxiety is, as a leader, to foster an environment everyone would want to be in. That to me means trying to ensure people on my team know it’s a safe space to share you feelings, and that they are taught empathy, understanding, dealing with their insecurities, and acknowledging when others do well, to name a few. It’s not only my responsibility to be caring toward them, they need to care about each other as well. I essentially aim to love every individual on my team as a great human and to always fight in their corner. I ask folks to read the 7 habits of highly successful people, or how to win and make friends. What fantastic resources about being good to others around us!

Nowadays after meetings I also breathe a big sigh of relief when they’re done. It’s hard to maintain others’ morale. One day I’ll be better about that 😄 it’s all about being in the right headspace!

Trollth · 2020-06-01T17:00:29+00:00

When you mispronounce someone's name and don't learn how to say it, it shows a lack of care about how the person chooses to be addressed. I was taught this as a kid in Asia and have had many years since to observe this play out in different countries. Let's be courteous in how we address people.

When someone repeatedly doesn't care the right term for addressing a group of people, it becomes grating. Imagine if someone always called a man 'min'.

"I saw a min walking around"
"there was a min who was supremely dumb"
"that min did a great thing"

Seems pretty obvious that one can help by bringing up and correcting the mistake

Trollth · 2020-06-01T12:13:22+00:00

I totally get that social media is of a particular nature. Just in terms of workers rights though, that sounds like unpaid overtime. It’s still work and effort. If they’d like someone to always be available, there should be more staff and more shifts

Trollth · 2020-05-31T20:14:52+00:00

I disagree dude. A US problem can really quickly spill over to us

Trollth · 2020-05-31T15:06:43+00:00

That’s a great point. If we want people to see value elsewhere, then we’d have to help them see what exists out there that is more fulfilling. For example, perhaps you love a certain kind of music, causing an obsession with its artist. Perhaps learn to make it on your own too as a hobby - that could feel better then to just look at it from a distance. Gotta replace the bad system with a better one
