It’s because in a globalised world of McPartments, you won’t be able to find a job unless you’re willing to leave your friends, family, and everything you’ve ever loved behind. Sure, they could move with you rather cheaply. But they might like it where they currently live. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to get plenty of face-time on Google Hangouts. I'm completely baffled that this is supposed to be a good thing. Even the craziest Republican would see this as a bad thing. Is this the "Dark Enlightenment"?

Tunney is visible and inflammatory enough that I can't believe Google isn't aware of her and her message. She's said more than enough publicly to get anyone else fired that it raises a lot of questions as to what the gently caress, Google. Looking at her LinkedIn she says her job is keeping information 'safe from' the NSA so maybe she does know some damaging stuff and they'd rather not cut her loose but goddamn. Talk about an unstable person.

This just makes me so sad that I ever thought that Occupy was a good thing. I can't even discern what her motivation or goals are. How is that nobody knew what she was about when Occupy was actually in full swing? Or did they know and just do a really good job of hiding it? Now, I would never, in any way, support it for fear that she was actually the person in charge. Hell, I'd be afraid that she was involved in it at all.

A lot of megalomaniacs tend to dramatically inflate their role and importance in events and organisations they claimed to participate in. If there's some outside corroboration that she held that much power at Occupy get upset but if not, she may well be lying.

She wasn't the person in charge, Occupy's biggest fatal flaw was that nobody was in charge. Tunney created some important OWS social media accounts and only this year started advocating extreme corporate dictatorship and drawing on her 'leadership' role as an appeal to self-authority to justify why you should bother paying any attention to her writing at all. http://occupywallstreet.net/story/justine-tunney-debacle-occupywallstorg Really though it's just funny as hell that someone could be so cluless as to proclaim "I was a Leader of Occupy!" as a reason why you shouldn't ignore this person.

Tunney isn't the only Google employee who's said controversial stuff in public. Just think back to Eric Schmidt's historic words on privacy: "If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Clearly the words of someone who cares very much about public perception and not offending people. People don't get fired for saying inflammatory things, they get fired for saying things the management disagrees with or drawing unwanted public criticism to the company. Inflammatory things usually fall under one of those categories, but I've never heard of someone being fired for saying that poor people should be literal slaves; why would an employer get mad at something like that? Her words are right at home in Silicon Valley.

Popular Thug Drink posted:Outside of a small handful of sociopolitical wonks glued to the internet nobody has ever heard of or gives a poo poo about Justine Tunney. Ideally a healthy corporate culture would terminate someone for attaching such opinions to the corporate brand before attention was finally attained. Especially with the nascent anti-techie backlash brewing having someone like Tunney spewing eliminationist rhetoric publicly on the payroll is probably not a good thing. Edit: ^^^^That's what I mean. Tunney is obviously a toxic and horrible person so the only way I can imagine she's allowed to stick around even when tying Google brand to her poo poo is if they are sympathetic. Even if they just "don't care" what she says that speaks volumes in itself. Berke Negri fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jul 24, 2014 |

I think they might be keeping Tunney around as a "look at how good we are, we don't fire you if you say stupid crap as long as you do good work, free speech!" kind of thing to make them seem like more friendly and desirable place to work. Meanwhile, let's look at another one of her essaysquote:So if you want to be intellectually honest, you can either support the entitlement programs that are designed to make everyone bourgeois, or you can accept that servants and shanty-towns are morally acceptable. My personal preference would be for the latter. quote:Most people will never be able to do what I do even if they try. Like there’s absolutely zero chance that a janitor is going to be able to climb the social hierarchy and become a Software Engineer. I was simply born with natural genetic gifts. I also had the benefit of a temporarily embarrassed white upper-middle-class upbringing. quote:If we forget about how liberals murdered all the people who preferred to live noble lives of heroism, what’s especially repulsive is that liberals will not allow lesser citizens to live independent lives of self-sufficiency through poverty. You are not allowed to live in a home you’ve erected yourself from the scraps leftover by a city, in a shanty-town.

Meanwhile, let's look at another one of her essays I'm not so sure it isn't emblematic of the wider cultural issues in Silicon Valley and the degree to which it has insulated and separated itself from what the rest of the world things. Don't forget that Mark Zuckerberg thought it would be a good idea to say "young people are just smarter" and thought that his audience would agree with and sympathize with those words, despite the fact that any sane HR worker would cringe upon hearing them, since outside Silicon Valley they mean "I am stupid as poo poo, please hit me with age discrimination lawsuits".

Oh holy loving poo poo...Justine Tunney posted:Our eventual success is not the least bit curious if you consider that outside of our struggling nuclear unit, I have an aunt who’s the CFO of a bank, an uncle who’s a doctor, several grandparents and great-grandparents who were engineers, etc. Plus I’m descended from the English nobility. I’ve even got an Anglo-Saxon pedigree tracing back to King Alfred the Great! It just goes to show that on a long enough timeline, well-written code (good genes) will always prevail over socialisation and circumstance. Justine Tunney posted:I speak from experience, because I know what janitors are like. I actually worked as a janitor when I was a teenager. They’re friendly hard-working people, but they’re dumb as bricks. So dumb in fact, that I almost feel embarrassed to admit having worked with them. But the only reason I’m acquainted with such dismal jobs is because my dad thought they built character. I also had a stint with the law as a teenager and was required to do community service—as a janitor (of course).

So, everybody in this thread and the world knows that tunney is a poo poo person. She could write a 10,000 word essay accurately entitled "Hitler was right, but didn't think big enough", and I'd probably just nod my head vacantly, but I'd just like to point out that when she says this:quote:Only six different models of apartments will be offered, and they’ll be built exactly the same everywhere around the world She proves that she's also a ludicrously lovely engineer. Whatever she does at Google, it was probably "making sure chrome wouldn't save zoom settings for ages", or "making Google plus fundamentally worse in every way in comparison to Facebook".

She was involved in some occupy social media stuff, and people started seeing crazy poo poo appear on those. She's also emblematic of a lot of crazy tech fascists. Aside from those she's not important.

Does Justine Tunney have any kind of following, or did she just find this thread because it's like some of the really obscure cartoons from the political cartoons thread where somethingawful haters actually represent a majority of the fanbase at this point? You'd think a Google engineering ubermensch who dictated Occupy Wallstreet and shifts mountains of money with mere programming would have better things to do than read through and whine about random internet threads on passe websites.

Statistically speaking, there is a non-insignificant chance that at least one person in this thread is related to Charlemagne, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and/or Genghis Khan, so being descended from some dude who managed to not lose land to Vikings isn't really all that impressive.

Oh I know I'm related to Charlemagne (I can trace my ancestry to a Spanish noble family that has been definitively shown to be descended from him) so yeah those claims are definitely not that impressive.
