The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.

“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable

If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.

Roundabouts.

Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, they’re treating people poorly because they either expect to be or think they deserve to be treated like that too. They justify their self-hatred by projecting it onto other people.

The answer you’ll hear is, “Well, no, but SOMEONE has to tell them the truth.”

“at me”?

Bruh, you’re not who they were responding to. You don’t have to insert yourself and then get defensive.

Yeah, I think it was a reference to an SNL skit from 1979? Not really as funny anymore.

It’s your phone’s ‘predictive text’, but if it were trained on the internet.

It can guess what the next word should be a lot of the time, but it’s also easy for it to go off the rails.

Men would get that response from whom?

No thanks!

That’s the fallacy called “whataboutism” where you point out other issues that exist as a reason to not solve the current problem we’re talking about.

Everyones a winner

Riiiight up until the Earth becomes uninhabitable for humans because we’re doing shit like destroying the Amazon rainforest for more cattle farmland, but sure!

“We swear we won’t try again for 6 months!”

There have been studies on motivation that have similarities to your descriptions. Basically, like you said, if we get a partial reward for a goal, we’re less likely to accomplish that goal.

The one I remember had ‘telling someone else your goal’ as the ‘partial reward’. At the end of a day, people who told someone their goal felt closer to accomplishing it, but less motivated to actually work on it. People who didn’t tell anyone worked on their goal longer, but also felt like ‘they still had a long way to go’.

I think the other part of it was what you said about not wanting to actually do X but prove to yourself that you COULD do X. Once I prove that I COULD… I’m done. The goal might not be what other people would consider ‘done’, but my ADHD brain doesn’t care. It got dopamine, and now we’re moving on to the next topic.

The reason for the backlash is that it all felt performative when the creator is online calling all trans women rapists, pedophiles and groomers.

The game was just saying, “Don’t think about that- give us money anyways! Just don’t think about where the money is going!”

It’s not “allegiances”. A literal child asked for a game feature and transphobes started leaking that child’s personal information online.

It’s not Eric’s fault, but it still is his responsibility to make sure there’s a safe way to request features without getting doxxed.

Remember, searching for “halo” is banned because it could potentially be linked to pedophilia, but editing a video of the president to look like a pedophile is fine because “it wasnt done with AI.”

I hate how there’s a pretty glaring typo in the article, and no way to inform the author without setting up an entire account with this website specifically. I get that anonymous comments suck, but I can’t even help point out something without a 12 step process.

TL;DR - "But, I think we can all agree, it was exactly anything revolutionary. " should be “wasn’t”.
