yesterday i was talking to a hiring manager who i'm on good ol' boy terms with. they told me one of their 'secret' hiring rules: never hire anyone who says they play a musical instrument because they could be 'alternative' and would not accept corporate culture due to 'excessive leftism'.

Who the gently caress puts musical instruments on their CV unless they are applying for a job as a musician?

Sports Direct warehouse staff who say they are unhappy with their working conditions are being identified by their fingerprints and asked to explain their grievances to management, according to the trade union Unite.

The leisurewear company has introduced a staff survey system at its Shirebrook warehouse, Derbyshire, which was at the centre of allegations of �gulag� conditions last year after a Guardian investigation.

When the warehouse�s 3,500 workers clock in, they are asked to press a touchpad featuring a happy or sad face emoji to indicate whether they are satisfied with working conditions.

If they press sad, they are asked whether they are sure about their decision and, if they press it again, they can be called in by managers to discuss why they did so.

Staff can be identified because the touchpad uses fingerprint recognition technology to identify those who express discontent..

Unite said the staff survey system was �bogus� because workers were unlikely to be candid about their feelings if they could then be singled out for questioning.

ok, fine, communism is achievable as soon as we can permanently bioengineer sociopathy, the cognitive biases, etc. out of the species

we can extend our lifespans out to 500 years, learn to speak Marain and put the Minds in charge of everything while we're at it

Anyone who calls themselves a 'realists' almost always turn out to be 'common sense', or worse an IR, dogmatist who bases their world view on 'muh sovereignty'. But in the end they always out themselves by trying to base their poo poo on a half-arsed, half-cocked version of actual philosophical realism of which, if they even made it that far, they have inevitably misunderstood in the most ridiculous way possible.

gen x is definitely a product of a shifting media landscape and the emergence of the 24 hour news cycle that began the rightward shift of the political discourse, and millennials are the first generation to have access to the internet for most of their lives which has only accelerated the shift and now they're exposing their children to a fully mature internet that is almost entirely a tool to spread disinformation, erode public institutions and drastically amplify social atomization

this is more than pearl-clutching over elvis wiggling his hips

I'm really hoping stymie is wrong on this one as well :smith:
