Yeah it’s not hard find empty shelving in an active and well stocked store. They constantly move poo poo around and reorganize! But honesty isn’t really a part of their decision making is it?

oh in the UK we do actually have massive empty shelf space because the supply chain is broken. And it won't be fixed till after Christmas at the earliest. I'm pretty sure the Tories are working off a plan that says 1. Sacrifice population of UK 2. ??? 3. ??? 4. Profit???

It's interesting how inflation permeates everything except minimum wage.

Look it's just econ 100. Labor is elastic, materials and rent aren't. Please don't point out the fact companies literally negotiate both of those all the time.

Yeah, there is a really noticeable shortage of random things. The supermarkets are trying to hide this by putting out lots of what they have in stock to disguise the fact that some items are missing.

And that's definitely Priti Patel's plan.

The same thing is going on in a lot of the US as well. It's not nearly as noticeable or as bad as the UK, but there'll be random weeks where there's just no Coke in the store, or you can get cans of green beens but no corn.

Gonna write for the WSJ because my patients friends daughter got loving owned so bad online for making racist jokes she had a panic attack lol

quote:


My psychotherapy patients often ask me why so many children are struggling emotionally. The answer is complicated and multifaceted, but it’s become clear that one important aggravating factor is the inflexible, rigid and vicious cancel culture that has swept across our educational system and the country. Children can’t thrive in environments like this.

From a developmental perspective, adolescents are highly susceptible to harsh criticism. This seems to be hard-wired in the brain: A neuroscience paper published in Nature observes that brain regions involved in “social reward processing, emotion-based processing, regulation, and mentalizing about others” are underdeveloped during adolescence, which the authors define as “approximately ages 10-22.” That helps explain “sensitivity to online rejection, acceptance, peer influence, and emotion-loaded interactions in media-environments” in teens.

As a therapist, I see many young people who are deeply perfectionistic and worried about their image, both online and in person. Because social media is everywhere, adolescents are constantly in a state of high alert about any criticism or rejection, and online communities amplify this beyond what some are biologically capable of handling.


Cancel culture makes the problem much worse. One of my patients told me a story about her daughter, a college student, who made a tasteless racial joke at a friend’s expense. She instantly regretted it, and the friend soon forgave her. But another student overheard the joke and reported my patient’s daughter to the dean, who removed her from a student-leadership position and told her she’d be expelled if she told another bad joke.

It got worse. The eavesdropping student posted about the joke on social media, and other students bullied my patient’s daughter online so severely that she ended up in the emergency room with a panic attack. None of this brutish treatment was necessary for her to learn the lesson of her mistake.

School-sanctioned shaming and a social media free-for-all of bullying leave teens and young adults constantly walking on eggshells, afraid to express heterodox opinions in class, among peers or in schoolwork. Making mistakes and learning from them is an important part of young people’s development. It’s how they grow to accept themselves as well as others—if peers and people in authority show them empathy, tolerance, patience and kindness. Terrorizing young people is no way to teach them sensitivity and respect.

My first twitter suspension. :toot:

I commited the heinous crime of agreeing with Charly Kirk. He said something about how all his followers should get Covid as it was just a flue and then they would be immune. I just said something on the lines of "this is a great idea, Charly Kirks followers should do what he wants here".

Apparently that was enough to be harrassment.

Though Dear Prudence has run in Slate since 1997, the role of Prudie was assumed in 2015 by Daniel Lavery — co-founder of the feminist website The Toast and author of a book about famous literary characters texting — who transformed the column into something of a tribunal, doling out po-faced judgment to guilty white cishets for crimes of allyship.

Of course the author would be a dude called Bennet Madison

Is the idiocy that kids already played Red Light, Green Light before Squid Game? Because it sounds like the Singaporean kid is saying 무궁화 꽃 이 피었 습니다 then pretending to shoot the others, so I'd say they were in fact inspired by it.

She operated under the thinking that Yale undergrads were the most common perpetrators of fabulist letters, and, for a time, refused to publish any letter bearing a New Haven postmark. This suggested to me an erotic glamor: I imagined dormitories full of muscular undergrads lounging around in their undies and collaborating on phony scenarios before hitting the showers together to celebrate their labor.

This reminds me of Gail Simone's run with Batgirl when the New 52 started around ten years ago. Barbara had a trans roommate and I remember it being done rather well. Then Gail left and another writer took over, and the very first panel of their first issue was the roommate saying goodbye while driving away in a van because she was moving away forever.

Gail Simone is the Dolly Parton of comics. Excellent at her job and also a big old sweetheart.

Danny Lavery is a fine writer, but he was absolute crap as Dear Prudence imo. Advice columns aren’t for everyone.
