I went to Beijing and noticed young people in the stores and coffee shops who worked there sometimes would put red armbands when they saw me. It felt creepy. It's a shame their culture has been so shaped by authoritarianism. (Obviously it's not just China that has this issue, btw). Ultimately the majority of the people I met were absolutely lovely. Truly terrifying experience Junjie had. Poor kid. Definitely can see that shit happening there, though.
Cool, cool. More jobs to disappear.
Maybe they were like uWu he's so cUUUUttttte!!!
I felt the same way but it was actually an easy read for my adhd butt.
I quit journalism as a profession for the same reason.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
A) "Reporting Highlights
A Freelance Vigilante: A wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover, climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell his family or friends. The Future of Militias: He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors and government attorneys. Experts say that militias could have a renaissance under Donald Trump. A Secret Trove: He sent ProPublica a massive trove of documents. The conversations that he secretly recorded give a unique, startling window into the militia movement."
B) There's also an audio version of the article for those who need vision asst or time asst.
C) The reason I shared this was William's record dump was just shared on ddosecrets this month - https://ddosecrets.com/article/paramilitary-leaks
Yea. Def not the end solution. I keep encouraging people to get on Pixelfed and Mastadon.
I'm leaving Meta fully this year. I think that platform is in for a rude awakening.
500 billion.... of H1B1 visas. Great work, MAGAs.
Lol I uhh... when I was a teenager I was taking them a lot. One fine night I was admiring the full moon from a park by my house and then it popped into my head that the full beautiful bright moon might also be a meteor coming in for the kill. Worst trip ever, lol. I haven't done a full dose since. That being said, I did micro dose on a chill countryside trip to Colombia and that was ok.
It's time to make Pixel-fed cool, damnit.
There was a pause?
edit: Huh... a pause from May 2024. Wouldn't have known with everything else we've been sending them. But, all in all it seems like awful Bibi is getting what he wanted. A fully hobbled US government and all the weapons his rotten sould wants. Great.
I've heard raving reviews with some of my friends on mushrooms. I am currently on lexapro. The initial dosage wasn't doing shit for me but this new adjustment seems to perhaps be lifting the curtain. If all else fails I'll give mushrooms a try.
Cool. Cool. So if he succeeds in revoking birthright, I guess none of us belong here. Though, I know that's not what the white supremacists mean.
Thank you. Definitely hear that on the western medicine model. Hoping I'm not medicine resistant but a lot of my friends are. Honestly, not looking for a miracle. Just some friggin wiggle room.
My Gen Y co-workers totally do. It's cringetastic.
This is a lovely and illustrative example.
I posted above a few studies that show unconscious bias in hiring practices against people of color. There is a reason why DEI exists. It's like OSHA laws. Every rule for these programs has a great misfortune behind it.
Cool story bro. Anyway ...
"Numerous studies demonstrate that without fair hiring practices in place, certain groups of people are often favored over others due to unconscious biases.
A study by the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley found that applicants with white-sounding names received 9% more callbacks compared to those with African-American-sounding names, despite having similar qualifications[1]. In some companies, this gap widened to nearly 19%[1].
Research from the UK showed that white candidates were favored in about 47% of hiring tests, with ethnic minority candidates needing to send twice as many applications to receive the same number of callbacks[6]. A more recent study by the University of Oxford found that candidates from minority ethnic backgrounds had to send 80% more applications to get the same results as white British applicants[6].
Gender bias has also been documented. A study on science faculty hiring revealed that identical applications randomly assigned male or female names resulted in men being rated as more competent and hireable, and even offered higher starting salaries[6].
These biases persist even in organizations committed to diversity. Research suggests that firms may unconsciously favor candidates from privileged backgrounds, such as those able to take unpaid internships, which introduces socioeconomic bias[7].
Without fair hiring practices, these studies consistently show that white candidates, males, and those from higher socioeconomic backgrounds tend to be favored in the hiring process, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce bias and promote equity in recruitment."
