  • There’s a hallmark/lifetime movie about this. The bank isn’t WF but we all know who it is.

    After his corporate rah-rah and disbelief his bank full of good ethical people would do such a thing, at the behest of the main character he finds out from some marketing chuds it is in fact true. Believing in the company to do the right thing he goes against the main character’s wishes and tells an exec who expectedly closes the accts of the vocal customers and sweeps it all under the rug - deleting all record.

    The love interest finds out his company doesn’t actually care about their customers when he asks if they are going to do a full company investigation and the exec laughs and instead offers up a potential promotion instead.

    I knew the whole plotline was bullshit when he quit to become a whistleblower. As he gave his first interview on the main character’s tv station, he gave his full name as he did a live interview and didn’t get murdered by the bank immediately.

    Thanks to Boeing we all learned that whistleblower is a far more dangerous profession than police officer and the chance of dying is thousands of percent higher. You really have to suspend disbelief at the movie plot.





  • If you can replace one talented high-wage employee with 3 college hires then do this a couple times statistically you’re still going to retain some talented employees because not all can leave. Those that remain will train the others ou of necessity either directly by management or indirectly by a fear of missing timelines/ego/being the local expert/etc.

    Management knows this and actively encourages this behavior because by the time the talented employee burns out and self-destructs, at least one trainee will be competent enough to keep things moving.


  • You saying “broaden your sources of information” is you saying “do your own research” otherwise you would have shared sources that say otherwise.

    But you’re not here to argue in good faith you’re here to paint me as combatitive and bow out of the argument acting like you can take some high road but still not bringing anything constructive to the conversation.

    You saying “not worth your time” is you saying “I have no idea and you called me out so now I have to save face”. And the fact that you consider someone replying to you in any way a “fight”? Well you’re gonna have to work on that with someone professional. You aren’t a victim when someone disagrees with you. Toughen up.

    Don’t downplay white supremacists by saying “well it’s only like the meth heads that agree with the cops against minorities” because that is absolutely incorrect. And it makes you sound like you are downplaying white supremecy to not be a big deal since it’s “only the meth heads” and meth heads are bad. The problem is that it’s not just them but also politicians, police, solidiers, your fellow church-goers, your priests/pastors, etc.

    If you are having a rough go of it currently and need someone to talk to, let me know. I’m here, friend.



  • They are the cops. Look up just about every far-right protest in the past century and how they’re given a police escort to and from the site. How the cops look the other way when there is right wing started violence and there is grave injury or death. How white supremicist cops that kill face unpaid time off way more than jail time.

    These authoritarian right wingers are anti-authority to the point they want to exterminate all authority who keep them from violently suppressing anyone who doesn’t want to oppress others. And they have to intimidate, cheat, lie, appoint other crooked liars because they’ll never win the votes they need from a free electorate. The voting majority thinks they are wrong.







  • Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.

    By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).

    Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.

    You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.


  • The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.

    The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.


  • Use whatever distro you feel comfortable with. That being said, there are definitely good ones and bad ones. I use Arch btw. That’s the beauty of Linux tho. You can try a distro and if you dont like it you can literally install a new distro over the old one by blowing away everything but the /home partition. Did I mention yet I use Arch? I use Arch btw. The package managers are such a great tool to get a system up and running in a short time, but you can always compile everything from scratch if you want. You can config your programs with the default settings and let the OS do it for you, or you can micromanage every single config option and take a little more time to personalize your machine. I’ve told you I use Arch? I use Arch btw.

    Yeah, Linux is great! And in case you were wondering I use a distro called Arch Linux.
