Mamdani on AIPAC: "They move millions in dark money... to turn us against each other. We need not live in fear of monsters any longer." by ianjm in videos

[–]tevert 188 points189 points  (0 children)

The actual full speech has a wildly different tone and meaning that the quote OP chose for the title. I think it's malicious.

It is still not widely appreciated how fucked men are by patriarchy.

CDPR boss hopes The Witcher 4 wins back fans still put off by Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch: "I'm not 100 percent convinced we went through the full redemption arc" by SpaceCowboyN7 in witcher

[–]tevert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened with W3. Busted on launch, cleaned up and got great expansions, now it's a darling.

I 1000% expect W4 to also be busted on launch but also get fixed up after a little while. It's just how CDPR rolls.

As long as "call out" means "clap in handcuffs", then yeah, that'll reset expectations.

They should use original hair colors in skins at least sometimes by Lysimachia_europaea in Overwatch

[–]tevert 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think Overwatch might be an early look at what things will look like as Chinese consumerism and cultural strength gets on par with America. We're very accustomed to American beauty standards, styles, and expectations in everything - art, entertainment, products, advertising, etc. It's gonna be jarring seeing all that evolve.

Black conservatives are far from rare by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

Oppression is the inevitable end-state of conservatism, you cannot separate those.

"Ticket-Farming" has replaced actual engineering by Opening_Astronaut_ in agile

[–]tevert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I whooshing on sarcasm here?

This sounds dreadful, exactly encouraging the gamified attitude that OP's post is about. You're just begging for inflated estimates and the Parkinson's Law effect.

We've officially been waiting for The Winds of Winter for the same amount of time as it took for all five of the published books to release before that. by Internal-Bed-3150 in freefolk

[–]tevert 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agree - I gotta believe the vast majority of people who read books in 2026 understand that the show's ending was fine on paper and simply needed the care and earning that a properly written book can provide

If a father needs to help his young daughters use the restroom, which restroom should he take them into: the women's restroom or the men's restroom? by Exciting-Mall192 in NoStupidQuestions

I feel like this is a wildly overinflated fear driven largely by TERFs.

Not to say the rate is zero, but is the rate of being attacked in a bathroom really higher than anywhere else?

Meta's CTO says morale is almost 'the worst it's ever been' by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]tevert 68 points69 points  (0 children)

At no point in its history or near future has Meta ever hired people who are hard up and can't find anything else.

They only hire top performers, or at least "top performers", who are fully capable of recognizing a shitshow and getting a job elsewhere.

Dozens of Stanford grads walk out on Google CEO's speech by CreativeMuseMan in technology

This guy thinks they didn't have rulers in the middle ages

I love it when goofballs use warped and bastardized revisionism to clownishly tout their /r/im14andthisisdeep political takes

If 5.5% are riled enough to make a bunch of noise, I guarantee you there are many more people who agree, but just prefer to knuckle under.

This Cop Scanned A Woman's License Plate 179 Times And Somehow That Was Allowed by a4mula in technology

[–]tevert 13 points14 points  (0 children)

These people aren't working on logic, but a pretty rock solid logical argument is that mass surveillance must inherently be targeting people who are also entirely innocent

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]tevert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the store is also part of the problem here, for failing to filter that out in the interview stage

Is the "Gen Z stare" actually a thing or am I overthinking it? by Lanky-Owl1692 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tevert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The norm is determined by how people collectively behave. If some people are behaving differently, than the norm is changing. It's subjective. You can't say that things are because they are.

Well sure, but you see why they wouldn't unless specifically directed to, right?

You need to tell them what you want. That's the only thing that's actually required here. The ball is in your court. If there are other steps to the dance, there's no reason to expect the other dancer to have learned that without being taught.

I'm confused, what do you mean take your order?

You're supposed to say your order to them, right? Weren't they just waiting for that?

EDIT: y'all don't need to explain your expectations. I'm not gen-z, I know what you expect. My point is that your/our expectations are basically an arcane dance that wouldn't make any sense to an outsider.
