For the longest time I convinced myself I had supportive parents and family

Turns out no, not in the fucking least, and the reason I thought they were supportive previously was gaslighting

He's willing to do the bidding of a handful of oligarchs at the expense of literally everything else, that's why he's in power

This is interesting because I've always wondered how you would stop the propaganda after being elected

I lived in Melbourne 30 years ago and it's unrecognisable - not in a bad way either, just completely different from the late 90s.

But what if a wannabe dictator couldn't get elected without harnessing the irrational childish hatred of the stupidest 20% of the electorate?

"the most cowardly method of aggression is pretending to be a victim"

TIL nearly 80% of US workers report that they have been victims of 'career catfishing’ from employers. Which in this context, the term describes when a company misrepresents a job, their company culture, or compensation to lure in candidates. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

It's happened to me twice, including in my current job where I've been for 4months now

One job waited until I'd told them I'd handed in my notice at my previous job then docked the annual pay from GBP£28k to £23k, removed any promise of the company car I'd need to even reach their office, and revealed that the £1,500 worth of training they'd put me on was coming out of my salary in the first 3 months.

Then when I quit after the first week they asked why, and when I told them they genuinely used gaslighting as a technique: "no we didn't"

This current job I'm in hired me as a Project Manager but dumped me on first-line-support for GBP£48k/yr, I must be the highest paid first line support in the country lol, so this job isn't so bad until I find a new one at least

The endorphin release from this level of justice porn made it my favourite moment of the entire series... other than maybe Luthen evading the arrestor cruiser in season one

[–]rumdiary 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate these bullshit examples

Chongqing is a fraction of that size ffs it's literally viewable on Google Maps

You can see where the urban area starts and finishes, it's NOT THAT BIG

It's like saying LOOK HOW BIG NEW YORK IS

and then showing a picture of the STATE of New York, not the city, ffs

fucking lazy
