@wacka wow so ...um .. i guess we are little boy cotting twatter ?

why?

hes standing up for free speech in this case

Im just trilling , but thanks for sharing jack’s stance on jones

I would have missed it

Also why dont these sites block theonion ?

@wacka dorsey is a cuck hes off the reservation right now

theyre basically treating accounts as news accounts seemingly... instead of just people with opinions

This fucking this ^

Twitter was never a fucking news site

Twitter never started as a news site

its roots are very much swamped in free speech... one of the earliest adopters was stephen fry

Sargon’s new vid “The Social Parliament”

@wacka correct

it sort of became a way for plebs to interact with celebs

@wacka when i worked at nbc one of the producers asked me about twitter and news , i told them news comes out on twitter before you guys even report it by the time you report it its old , they told me ...at that time we have to verify the story before we publish it ...now today you think they do that ? HELL NO

I guess we've gone from an age where getting the story out "first" really meant getting as many viewers - this meant prime time tv (so not necessarily first to break the story) but now prime time is instant updates on peoples phones

You know i was never into politics or news ....i was into video games , magic the gathering, tech stuff computers.... then they started Poisoning it ... and i had no choice but to see politics ...

In this I heard that there's many employers now who check social media before hiring anyone. And if you have no facebook at all, then bam. You're not out of the runnings entirely.

What sort of pathetic culture is this now.

People with the most sense, are punished the most.

I can imagine the argument "Well if you weren't gonna be hired for that reason it's probably a pretty miserable workplace"

The hiring process is ALWAYS stupid.

No one ever knows what they're really in for. Everyone pretends they can filter well enough to get the perfect candidates and all it does is make expert liars out of everyone.

interesting that the new muslim congress woman ran completely unopposed, no republican opponent

What is the purpose of conveniences like cell phones or social media if you become expected to have them to make a living?

They're not convenient anymore, they're COMPULSORY.

This is why I take exception to people calling us a spoiled generation.

All of this technology that we're supposedly spoiled with, we're OUTCAST for not having.

People just want the best, and that goes on to assume that THE BEST employee has a facebook and cell phone.

oh shes the daughter of palistinian immigrants... thats going to be interesting, given some of trumps moves in israel

Yeah, the whole "check their social media" thing has gotten out of hand

I know it started as "We want to make sure that they aren't doing stupid shit in the background", but the requirement of having social media to get a job is ridiculous

Any gift to humanity becomes a curse as soon as employers get to snoop on it.

Adam Carolla on one of the Joe Rogan podcasts, he brought up a story where he was talking to an employer at a dinner table in the middle of the night

He had a question for the employer, and the employer CALLED AN EMPLOYEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT to get an answer.

Well for fuck sake, wasn't that trespassing on the guy's free time?

What is this shit?

At my last job, the VP of the software department straight up told us to our faces that if there was an issue in the middle of the night, he wanted to be able to call us to fix it

Off-time is off-time, how did this indentured servitude get such a long reach.

I can understand if lives are on the line in the medical profession.

In my current job, not only are we not expected to come in at all hours of the day to fix shit, we get overtime

government contracts are great

I dunno what that means.

The company I work for is a Department of Defense contractor, so they're required to pay all employees overtime, whether we're in salaried positions or not

Last week I worked 50.4 hours, and I'll be paid for 50.4 hours

I've been unemployed for years now.

Drives me nuts.

So on top of not having social media, or a cell, I also have this huge gap in my resume.

I'm assuming you have a degree then?

No.

Why was that assumed..?

I don't know

It's the only thing I'm thankful for.

I dodged college debt.

I got so much advice to go ahead and pull that lever. Thank fuck I didn't.

@Revan dude i thoght that was real for a second lmao

Have you considered trade school?

No money for tuition.

Ah

I'd want to pay my own way through such a thing. Which is impossible.

It's *astounding* how little boomers understand what's happening.

"You get a job flipping burgers and pay for college that way! That's what I did!"

What do you even do? They actually believe this is still how it works.

How is it possible you're the potential first person to tell them?

How can they not know?

This whole nightmare would be at least easier to navigate if more people KNEW what was going on. Conversations could begin.

But only the people with the least power even know about how little power they have.

Everyone else assumes the gears are turning just fine. "You get a job, you go to college, you get a career!"

"Simple! Nuff said. That's all there is to it. Fact."

"PERIOD."

When few have college education, college education has value. When everyone has college education, they end up snooping through your social media accounts...to see if you're the "right stuff".

If something the boomers thought was true, still was, there wouldn't be a problem.

not having taken economics, I assume this is as simple as supply and demand

That whole idea of walking up to the manager and looking straight in the eye

"I'm the first one in, last one out. I'm your guy!!"

Yeah.

Doesn't work like that. You'll get halfway through asking for the manager before getting an annoyed look: "The application is online.. Just fill that out and blahbblablblhl"

If we could reconnect a tactile sense of humanity to all of this, everything would improve.

The solution could even be demonstrated with positive results, and still, no one would follow it.

"Hey Cobra Kai is really popular."

"Yeah and it's against social justice."

"Think there's a connection?"

"No don't be silly."

"Haha."

"Hoho."

You guys imagine if we made Cobra Kai but it was PRO social justice. o:

It would be GANGBUSTERS!!

These fools, they've missed out on a grand opportunity. And it's ours, all ours.

no idea what that is

Cobra Kai is the youtube red series continuation of Karate Kid
