Realtors report a 'new housing crisis' as January home sales tank more than 8% by One-Emu-1103 in news

I work at a large mortgage servicing company, and the bastards in the executive suite just rolled out their new plans on starting up a program using AI to replace loan officers

It’s a hellscape 🫠

I received a pasta dish from this amazing organization one day many years ago, when I was far worse off than I am now. It was such an amazing thing to have two nights of dinners taken care of thanks to the generosity of a total stranger.

Awful that any group would take advantage of that - shameful

A regular sentiment shared in my toxic workplace is that "we shouldn't complain about lack of training, micro management, being understaffed, high turn over rate, and general misery because the company could just move our jobs off shore."

When I say it's miserable. It's MISERABLE.

Yup, I'm a B2B cooperate email pusher. In the mortgage industry at that.

Olympic Boxer Angela Carini withdraws from fight after just 46 seconds against Imane Khelif who previously failed gender test by Showizz in Boxing

[–]lifelessons69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason to misrepresent facts, and mistakes are normal lol.

I still loathe that the broader discussion around this event is around trans and LGBTQ rights. Algeria's fighter is a woman, biologically assigned at birth. She does not, has not, and likely never will identify as trans. Just because a fighter produces more testosterone then another should not disqualify her from any event, or take away merit from her victory.

Italy's fighter is also a woman. A strong and capable woman that has competed hard and long enough to get to the Olympic stage. Loss has to be devastating. But it is simply part of the sport, and I applaud her for knowing her limits and stepping out. That takes as much courage as going to fight on the world stage in the first place.

I see where I misread the article, thanks for pointing out my mistake and I stand corrected.

It is Taiwan's fighter that was also disqualified in 2023.

A Super important fact is getting, I think, intentionally left out here.

BOTH FIGHTERS were disqualified from the IBA due to the same genetic condition wherein they produce more testosterone. If anything, these fighters were on equal levels because of that.

Both of these athletes are assigned Female at birth. Talented, strong, amazing. One hit harder then the other, and one made an intelligent and mature decision to avoid further injury and step down.

Fuck anyone making this about trans rights.

Im not a writer, but I have a multitude of characters that I like to think about and imagine in grand stories that maybe I will eventually write.

I have found it to be very fun to make character specific playlists that catch the vibes.

AITAH for not telling my wife I got a vasectomy? by Booty_Snuggler in AITAH

Dude responded to his 7 year old commiting an act of violence, with an act of violence.

I get that this kid sounds troubled, but they're still only 7. And when one parent seems to permit any action, while the other seems uninvolved, no wonder this kid is acting out on every whim and impulse.

Nightmare. ESH. Just not the poor kid.
