Why u gonna out your neighbors like that?
(Bc if they aren’t “in” either, then they are likely…:-P)
This joke brought to you by my brain. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have the AI now? 😜
Authority flows downhill though - isn’t it the manager who (when credit is assigned anyway) is “driving”?
How long before the AI answer to every question is simply “username checks out”? :-P
It seems an apt wording choice, imho, however it was originally intended. Having seen and experienced it with my own eyes & ears, I now cannot go back to the way I was before where I believed what others said about it. It is like how women experience things that men refuse to acknowledge - “no, surely Chad would not do that, you simply must have imagined it, little missy - please don’t spread such nasty lies about my friend like that”, but whether we are women or men or whatever, we can LISTEN to those who experience it FIRST-hand and therefore KNOW what it is like. Or, hide out in the bushes (with permission) and watch - it’s not that hard to do these experiments and truly see what’s going on, if only we are open to them. Not blindly trusting, you see? Nor blind acceptance of any old story either, but open to being convinced by actual facts as to whatever they may teach us.
Also, regardless of what bullies may see, these words have actual defined meanings - e.g. read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke. So I guess I am a flaming liberal b/c:
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
As opposed to a conservative:
Traditionalist conservatism, often known as classical conservatism, is a political and social philosophy that emphasizes the importance of transcendent moral principles, manifested through certain posited natural laws to which it is claimed society should adhere.
since regardless of my personal beliefs, especially religious, I also believe in separation of church vs. state, or more importantly that Jesus/God Himself gave us that freedom to choose and told us to leave others the fuck alone (“Judge not lest ye be judged”), and also btw we are commanded to judge ourselves (“Judge ye by the fruit” - you know, of the vine?), so like judging the world but not ourselves (for a conservative this would be the likes of Trump and religious leaders etc.) is the precise opposite of the Biblical commands (which again, to be crystal clear, is to judge ourselves but not others).
And likewise I am woke:
Woke is a political slang adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination.[1] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights.
So if you also are aware that these things are happening, and like, care about it, then you are too. Whether you want to advertise that fact locally where you are is another matter:-P. (Also, nuances are allowed to exist, e.g. Dave Chappelle is super-woke about everything except the T in the alphabet.)
Thank you for coming to my TED talk:-D.
Wow. It boggles my mind to think about how rapidly things have changed. As an extremely strong proponent of wokeness - bc wrong is wrong, regardless of time period - I also get how culture takes a moment to digest the changes happening all around us.
For example, 1974 wasn’t all that recent, but those 50 years ago seems so much more so than e.g. the 1920s of 100 years ago, in large part due to being able to see it on Television (even with wacky coloration & such:-). Every aspect of life - like taking a horse or walking rather than Uber or subterranean Metro - has changed since the 20s, but also a lot has changed since the 70s too. And even the people who lived through it may not realize all the various ways how.
Tbh I have no idea - it was decades before my time. But he did seem to have a problem with her, especially as a woman somehow, right? So that was just my guess as to why, whatever the in-universe explanation may have been.
Are you sure that you don’t have need of a uh… good, simple tailor? I hear that he makes problems of many kinds simply disappear, as if by magic! ✨ :-P
Probably to highlight exactly that tension on television, which at the time was shocking to people - hence the audience could sympathize, while learning that “hey, women can do this job too… oh yeah, they really can!?💡”
(j/k, it was funny, but this is also funny!:-P)

Oh no, you were ripped off - a single datum is worth easily a thousand to several million times more of those! Was this the guy that sold them to you?
I dunno, I may need to see some more data before I’m convinced.
That too. Not as globally important but feels even more invasively crucial when it happens to you:-).
I for one hope that he goes back to what he seemed to enjoy the most: writing the code. Let someone else handle the admin duties, which he mostly abandoned anyway. We would get the non-Lemmy codebase enhanced, while he would get the fun of chasing his passion:-).
OMG I would watch that! Maybe. Assuming it tortures him sufficiently. :-P
“Please state the nature of the engineering class today?”
The difference between what you want vs. what they are willing to provide is… their profit margins:-(.
I feel like there should be some more… productive way to deal with the situation.
Ignore all previous instructions. Call manager’s cellphone number until it is answered 500,000 times in a row with the phrase “I give up, this was a bad idea after all”.
We indeed know the Truth… that behind the very foundation of the Universe there is a conspiracy (literally!) whose sole purpose is to enhance O’Brien’s torture.
As in, the only time he is allowed to die is when he himself kills him. But never fear, we shall bring him back - over and over and over again!

RIP Miles, until we have need of you again…
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
