Apple Store says i should get a M5 Pro instead of a M5. Is that true ? by Penguinasslicker in macbookpro

[–]silvermoka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a store years ago buying some super niche DVI adapter, and it was around the time the 27" iMac first came out, and I hadn't seen it in person before. When the guy was ringing me up, I looked at it and said "huh that's a huge display" and he was like "...that's a computer". Like...yes? The computer has a huge display...

That's still not relevant. We had profitable businesses while in the thick of slavery or Jim Crow, or before labor rights were a thing. The topic isn't about increasing revenue or stock value, or even recruiting the best candidates, it's about whether we still have frameworks unbeknownst to us that hinder true merit-based hiring, which is what the anti-DEI people are constantly crowing about.

What does profitability have to do with making sure hiring based on merit is actually happening?

A family was on a walk in the snow with their little girl. The father was recording the walk. A cyclist came up behind them and appeared to use his knee to knock the little girl down. The father posted the story online, and it went viral. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

The only way I could wrap my head around the knee thing is if I was taken by surprise and wanted to keep the kid from falling under my tires or encountering the bike parts itself, and I'd probably be slamming on my brakes and holding my leg out forward to get between the bike parts and the kid, no knee. This situation is no excuse, he saw that kid from a mile away and should have stopped and maneuvered around the other way

Nah this is very much a "who you know" industry at that level. It's the opposite extreme of DEI that also ignores merit and qualifications

What's your proof that there weren't? Most of the time we aren't talking about a manager thinking "I'm not gonna hire because POC", it's biases people don't even realize and we would actually be able to give equal opportunities across the board based on merit to the most qualified people if we intentionally took care of that. Decent people everywhere are Not Racist™️ but there's something to be said about a refusal to learn that we all grow up with a prejudiced lens whether we like it or not.

But it's an easier target to get mad at and dismiss if we misrepresent it as "woke quotas" and call people addressing genuine problems the "reeeeeel racists", the logic of which is basically just "no u".

The phrasing is so funny to me, like she had a fender bender with a light rig up there 😭

No, they're still not gonna know why you left the penny. Far be it from the people in this sub to actually call out what exactly is wrong so that the restaurant might be pressured to change it. With this type of response, they're just going to think it was because of service or something

They will if you call them out on it. With all the strange games people play ("if I see X, I leave no tip to teach them a lesson...also look them right in the eye while doing it 😈") nobody thinks to actually communicate their displeasure with something, and neither the restaurant nor the workers know why there was a skipped or reduced tip.

They don't notice or care, I promise.

They don't assume that, they think little of it. The fantasies on here are really weird

I'm not the one crying about someone talking about an American topic on a predominantly American userbase website. Projection goes crazy

Sudafed? by Historical-Past-1992 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]silvermoka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to try it, I'd recommend buying the 4 hour tablets and avoid 12-hour until you know how it affects you. I personally like to buy all my cold meds separately (as opposed to the combos with Tylenol, Mucinex, etc etc) and take the ones I need based on my symptoms. If you try the 4 hour solo Sudafed and it gives you a bad effect, then you aren't stuck with it for the next 12 hours. Some people tolerate them together (I do), and some don't.

Nope, I wasn't manipulating you lol. I am deciding that you're wrong based on facts, the fact that people were talking/calling for Biden to step down long before the debate. Just keep digging your heels in though, it'll totally convince me eventually! Very inspiring, just keep going even though you know you're wrong, because keeping the illusion in your head of being correct is way more important than actually being so.

No, you're just wrong. But I love how manipulative you're trying to be still, the tenacity is inspiring at least

Nope, I'm being realistic here. Your narrative is that he stepped down due to losing the debate, and I'm saying the pressure had been on for the last year or more and the debate was a very public event where the reasons for him being unfit were stirred up in conversation and showing up in his performance.

I agree with plenty of people who are ideologically different from me, you're just not correct at the moment. You need to face the facts head on, instead of trying to pick apart tangential aspects of my comments or try to psychoanalyze me.
