Memento posted:I gave two weeks once with a job in place to start three weeks after my last day*. The Monday after my last Friday I got three calls from ex-colleagues asking me work stuff, that I let go through to voice mail. I then got an email to my personal account, from my old boss, asking me why I wasn't answering calls. The loving nerve. I sent back a notice on my own personal company letterhead stating my consulting rate was $300/hr if he had any further questions. I'm leaving my job in a few weeks hopefully and this has given me an excellent idea. My previous one was to tell the owners that I had a new number, give them a Google Voice number so it seems legit, and then quit and shut off the number so they can't contact me again because they're crazy.

In 2016 Hillary Clinton was endorsed by Henry "gently caress it, bomb the poo poo out of Laos because I'm sure the slant eyes are sneaking over there too" Kissinger, and she ran ads with that.

these people think the new york gossip rags is how politics works/should work, no wonder they suck at it. If Duke's endorsement gets KKK members to support his racial justice plans that's what we call good. What's bad is if he has compromised to their, but he's to the far left of most of the people whatabouting this Rogan endorsement. And he's been much better than any other candidate so far at sticking to his guns.

Joe Rogan is going through his past tweets and deleting right wing bullshit. Is this a redemption arc? I expect the whole "will vote Bernie" thing to last maybe 1 week before a different shiny object caught his attention.

I mean, unless he ends up literally beheading Bezos live on air he's never gonna be really accepted on the left, and even then that's just gonna get the pragmatic realpolitik wing, maybe, if it ends up going somewhere. My guess is that he'll interview the mr. peanut twitter account and start wearing black everywhere.

I think, or hope, that it could more be referring to people who can still be reached and also have lovely opinions. It does serve as an interesting mirror to the whole "Why has Rogan endorsed Sanders" thing. Alongside that, I would like to hope that there are ways that people can show contrition in public spaces without being considered to be either lying or being manipulative.

It's worth noting that Peter Coffin was one of the major harassment targets of GG, if you remember the whole "fake girlfriend" thing. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's not trying to excuse or justify his own harassment. btw here's the full thread for context, it was apparently posted in response to someone calling Bernie Sanders' supporters the new GG https://twitter.com/petercoffin/status/1221466989664854016

He's also infamously terrible at phrasing things and really, really slow to notice if a tweet looks super loving bad out of context. And really really really bad at providing that context in an easily reachable space that isn't Shapiro / Yudkowsky-esque "well you've gotta read all of it" wordsplurge

Rogan's admitted to literally never voting Republican, and always voted Democrat except for Gary Johnson. That people want to cancel Rogan and not the New York Times is solely because of class signifiers.

Reading that thread, he immediately points out this - "anti gg" simply had/still has a tonne of 'the wrong people are doing the oppressing' types.

Elissimpark posted:Can confirm. Hired a car for a day when me and my partner at the time visited Luxembourg City in 2001. Managed to drive around it twice in that time, including an accidental near border crossing because their road signs are stupid. Do they actually have any sort of border control? They're in the EU so theoretically you should barely even notice you're crossing the border. I don't know how things work in Benelux but my dad lives in Denmark and he goes to Germany to buy soda.

You get controlled when you first enter Schengen and then can move around freely inside yeah. It's cool stuff! Sometimes they do checks at the border but it's more about what you are transporting in your car rather than who.

Found on the BBC Have Your Say comments section (it's the top rated comment) Billie Eilish is the big winner at the Grammys quote:'She used her speech to champion gender diversity in the music industry, which is still overwhelmingly dominated by men.' Hmm, yes, music, the one industry where image simply doesn't matter. Top rated comment ffs. "If group x thinks they're disadvantaged in any way, maybe they should just git gud because talent is always directly proportional to success" is possibly the worst take.

Wendell posted:What does “Neo-liberal fetishization of feminism” mean? *puts on dunce cap, rubs temples* I'm guessing they construe including female characters in games as some kind of spice girls era ~girl power~ cash grab. Since female gamers aren't as super intelligent and refined as male gamers, they're only into games because they're suckers.
