@nprofile1q... Are people actually expecting spoiler alerts for a 44 year old movie?

So, let me tell you about rosebud.

It appears ICE is unhappy with people knowing that Jonathan Ross has been identified as the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good. They tried to bully an election worker for sharing Jonathan Ross's name. Again, that name was Jonathan Ross.

Look, I get it. You're fascists and therefore bullies. It shouldn't be too tough for you to figure out who I really am. Feel free to drop by anytime and try to intimidate me. I could use the laugh.

Just read a listing for a senior level role that included:

"Be prepared to sacrifice your work-life balance in exchange for joining an incredible journey and learning a lot along the way."

F2k you, no. You just received $75 million in additional funding. (total of $90 million). You should be prepared to pay for the skills you need and hire enough people for the workload.

Thank $deity I'm not looking for a job right now.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... this, right here, is one of the major reasons why the fediverse is awesome. Actual humans administering instances and caring about their users.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... sleaziest group of people I ever encountered was the Yahoo! integration team. I worked at a company acquired by Yahoo! They showed up and handed out documents we "had to sign by end of day". They lost their collective s2t when I said I was going to take it home and have my lawyer look at it.
Them: "You can't come back tomorrow unless you sign it."
Me: "That's fine by me."

Wish I still had filled copy of that doc. It was horrific.

@nprofile1q... I can fully support that thought.

The thing about the current situation that has really shaken my world view are the number of people who support policies that hurt almost everyone, including themselves. How do you get to a better place with people who are intent on shooting themselves in the foot?

Thanks @nprofile1q... for one of the few websites that's readable without requiring firefox's reader mode to get rid of the noise.
