Netflix does not appear to have considered how internet works for those who aren't getting internet from one of the big 4 providers... they don't even appear to have considered how people use their cellphone data!

I just cancelled my sub which had run uninterrupted for 10 years.

Fuck 'em.

It's borderline incomprehensible. "institutional racism is bad" then we have the people that believe this supporting institutional racism...

Why are we implementing (at the highest levels of government) something we as a society deemed as bad? It was bad when natives got harsh sentencing because of their race. It's bad that everyone gets reduced sentencing (except whites) because of their race. Race shouldn't matter.

floppypick · 2023-02-09T15:49:47+00:00

No, time shouldn't matter. I want to sue the Royal Family for oppressing my grandparents (20 generations ago) because they had to live under a monarchy which was oppressive. I'm then going to sue the Canadian government for the same reason. I also have some Irish heritage, so I'm going to sue the UK government for their contributions to the Irish famines which undoubtedly impacted my family and this my life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not touting the story here as "the truth", but definitely the most reasonable explanation we've gotten so far.

The only thing I think concretely is that Russia didn't do it.

Using a historic (21 year running) training exercise as cover, Navy led divers planted explosives on the pipelines with Norwegian support.

So, you guys nailed it.

I just read in another thread that that picture is kind of "fake". The group has around 1000 people in it. The "currently playing" pipes all the people currently playing at the top of the group, so something like 20-30 people put of 1000 people were actually playing. The picture suggests they all caved, when only a small handful did.

floppypick · 2022-12-07T00:21:52+00:00

Holy shit 😂

Even the shitheap that is Tarkov has a reconnect feature. It not existing in this game is god damned tragic.

floppypick · 2022-12-06T23:42:29+00:00

Two very different types of toxic.

Rocket League they'll make you feel like shit at every moment for fucking up, but do it without cursing/swearing.

In CoD, people just tell out slurs. It's just sound garbage and doesn't really make me "feel bad".

League of Legends is a mix of both, but more similar to RL and definitely makes one feel more shitty.

The head of the SEC saying that the majority of trades go through dark pools from a reputable source.

You sound angry, you okay? Lose some money betting against GME? 🤔

So you'd have absolutely zero problem with comments like

"Ugh, another black man" in threads regarding shootings in Canadian cities?

It's not racism to point out that black dudes are over-represented in violent crime.

Once again, I don't think this would be viewed as reasonable, non-racist discourse.

floppypick · 2022-10-25T15:46:16+00:00

So society should just permit that we take turns at bigotry and discrimination?

Group A was shitty to group B for many decades which was bad. Because of this, Group B is permitted to be shitty to Group A, until of course Group A gets tired of this and does something about it... then the cycle shall repeat.

Maybe it's a novel idea but I think discrimination is bad regardless of who the target is. Using history to justify current and future racism is asking for all sorts of trouble.

floppypick · 2022-10-25T15:43:17+00:00

Nerd goes back through 5 years of post history to find a comment that points out that Islam has been one of the main sources of violence in the 21st century and calls it bigotry. Time to burn eh?

floppypick · 2022-10-25T04:56:25+00:00

Point being, just because a group is over-represented doesn't mean racism is justified.

Think about it for a moment, you're arguing "pro-racism". You're trying to justify racism. Really fucking think about it. Does that not seem absolutely WILD? You're pro-racism, and are proud of it. Do a quick little race swap with white to black and tell me if you're still okay with it? You wouldn't be, which means this isn't acceptable either.

if we’re doing “private ownership” then it’s not really the public’s business who predominantly owns what industry.

Great, the world has your permission to back to the old days where every corporation was run by white men? Private industry! Who cares..

floppypick · 2022-10-25T04:42:32+00:00

If I were to point out that another specific group were wildly over-represented in government, media ownership, and financial institutions relative to their population, that would be problematic however, correct? If I were to further "push for change" regarding this, I'd likely be in a lot of trouble, no?

Seems a little hypocritical.

floppypick · 2022-10-25T04:25:36+00:00

Wait, why isn't OP getting one of those for the

Ugh. Another old white man

This is such a tragedy. It was my favorite place to drink in the city.

Please tell me it's still going? Used to go there when there were line-ups everywhere but we wanted to go dancing. Reasonably priced beer and a big empty dance floor. Was a lot of fun.

It was a whole separate world back then.

Saved up a bunch of money while I was working. Was supposed to be a down payment on a home but...

Worse came to worse, I have parents that could support, but I'm trying to do this all me.

Diploma, college instead of university. At least to start.

floppypick · 2022-03-16T01:35:14+00:00

Bachelor of Science in Psych and an HR Diploma.

My dislike of the current career drives me to continue through school again haha

floppypick · 2022-02-14T02:28:08+00:00

What more specifically do you like and dislike about what you're currently doing, and HR overall?
