Now who's advocating genocide?

Almost learned this the hard way with a coworker. Mentioned to my boss that another (previously overweight) guy in our office had clearly lost a lot of weight and that I hadn't had a chance to let him know he was looking good, and my boss got wide-eyed and said, "Don't do that...he's got stage III cancer."

You're right, but I just noticed something about that (I'm probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it...ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.

You sound like one of my PMs. "Klugerama, your coworker was able to resolve a UI issue in just 3 days, why did it take you over 3 weeks to convert 50k lines of code from C# to Java?"

"there are some similarities so they are the same because it supports my argument"

ok sure but that doesn't mean it's appropriate for all people in all situations. you'll notice that they did, in fact still post it - they didn't censor it. they just tagged it NSFW.

there's been plenty of times when I'm bored at work, and could totally get away with browsing whatever on lemmy; but I don't feel like having a conversation with HR because someone walks by my desk. I'd much rather know there's something here that might offend someone (even if it doesn't offend me, or you personally for that matter).

Read the article. That's not at all what this is about.

Not a controlled environment but it's happened several times, with varied results.

Not glass, but hardened resin. Used to track littoral currents and drift. Has metal so it can be found later with a metal detector.

Ok, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn't directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.

My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn't substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that's good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.

I agree, but for clarification it was a different teen whom he shot, who still had his BB gun.

There were 3 teens, two with BB guns. The first dropped his and was on the ground, straddled by Shooter McFuckhead when the second, still standing, was shot.

Thank god there was a "good guy with a gun" there. Otherwise nobody would have died!

For a few years now, I've replied with "Thank you for your support." However I think I may start adding something like "You should look up wounded warriors and make a donation, they're the ones that really need it." Or some other org for disabled vets.
