😂 this is why I avoided programming, focused on hardware, and ended up cooking in kitchens lmao.
I was never a fan of sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen all day, even if I was good at it. Even with how complex hardware is these days, it feels more orderly and defined, if there's m wrong with your rig, it's most likely x, y, or z causing it, and it's almost always x etc
I've been banned for spreading racist hate by warning someone looking for a realtor to avoid one that was discussed without issue in the sub 9 months prior... For running a racist ad poking fun of Asians... I think they replaced the humans who double check bans and reports with monkies, or AI
Didn't they go from like 200 to 2000 employees? And yet they:
no longer answer emails
No longer respond to DMs within their platform
have a ban appeal form they don't even check. I literally made stupid jokes about a plot to poison Biden to see if it was monitored. 99% sure it's not...
I'm sick and tired of thos being the Age of Faceless Corporations. Google and Facebook normalized it. Everyone else is moving towards it. Twitter automatically responds with 💩. Hell even local businesses (chains and non chains) like Score Pizza or Kingston Burger Company don't list a head office address, email, phone number or anything. They just want your money but not to have to deal with you.
Like what's going on with the world these days? It's obviously natural for the human mind to seek smart or lazy ways to do things, and there's always been that loser at work everyone has to pick up the slack for... but these days it feels like everyone is pushing things to the limits, like it's reversed and everyone wants to be slackers until the people picking up the slack get burnt out, or the business or organization just becomes a shell of what it wants was while simultaneously demanding more and more money. Policing for example, budgets are probably historically high, mostly from taxes, they don't police the streets or hand out tickets, people drive and park however they want, corporations and driving instructors have non-road legal cars (way above 30% tint in front windows etc).
Oh man they're just hiring babies in Belleville? Better than Kingston, not so much cradle robbing but more so foreigners buying up all the franchises for international students or other immigrants to work at. It's not like fast food jobs are glorious whatsoever, and it just means some local isn't going to be working the job to live paycheque to paycheque.
The new fast food staff though, they tend to drive a lot of nice expensive cars which makes me scratch my head a little. Must be a family gift, or they live 10 people to a 5 bedroom or less. If it isn't age or race, it's class warfare. I'm all for immigrants having the opportunity to start a new better life somewhere, but I worry that all the people who spend years financially leaching money or resources from their home nation just come here and displace struggling locals.
Sorry to politicize your hilarious video, but it just keeps bringing me back to the concept of us desperately needing a UBI
My local sub did a "brown out" and they even messed that up lol
If the CEO got caught editing comments and posts, how do I know he didn't just pretend to be a defunct mod lol
Probably because it's one of their front page subs? My guess at least. Maybe the CEOs favorite 🤣
All I'm missing right now is sorting (comments at least) by new, top or best etc
And yet I read something about them taking over one of the popular subs (adviceanimals or something) and removing all the mods and making it public again...
Glad to be here! I went ahead and made a couple of communities to mirror Reddit's KingstonOntario. I prefer the underscore since there's no capitalization, but I made another without the underscore just to avoid someone else making it and splitting the community. Hopefully we can get more posts and ones of higher quality than over on the ol' Reddit. I've been using Reddit since before Digg thought it would be a good idea to do exactly what Reddit is now doing... History repeats itself until we learn I guess!
Sheesh. And all the muskites will still find a way to spin this as being the result of his genius...
