Hilariously, many of these companies already fired staff because their execs and upper management drank the Flavor-Aid. Now they need to spend even more rehiring in local markets where word has got round.

I’m so sad for them. Look, I’m crying 😂

The only difference between religions and cults is the size.

Oh good lord no.

Those are almost universally built on religion, and most are very cult-like. If that’s your take on them, I suspect you haven’t had more than a superficial interaction with them.

Ha. Asking a fascist to resign for fascist action in a fascist government. I mean, worth a try, right?

Wish in one hand…

He does, but anyone following illegal orders doesn’t. Sure, he could pardon them, but only after a long, expensive, and potentially life-changing legal battle after which they’re convicted.

That doesn’t sound like a fight most regular troops should want to gamble on.

That’s gonna be a bitch to paint over. Gonna need to use 2 coats of Kilz.

That was the subject of the entire discussion: the original question was about whether ladies in the late 1800s took naps in the middle of parties, and if so, if that was because they wore corsets.

(e: they didn’t and it wasn’t.)

That’s fair, but this was my area of expertise, where I had more than 20 years of academic and practical experience. Please see my other comment in this post for how ridiculous this particular thread became.

I get you, and I totally agree. It did get rather insane, though.

e: given their crazy-high standards, perhaps I should take it as a feather in my cap that it was ultimately approved. I was definitely not going to try again, though. It would be easier to publish a scientific paper for peer review, because at least there’s consistency there.

One example:

User:

I'm confused.

First of all, we value the work /u/LillyPip put into their answer and we approved it after they expanded on the original comment.

Was it approved and then disapproved again?’

Mod:

It was. Later debate among the moderators led to it being removed again, because we feel that while it's a solid answer, it needed more work to be a good explanation of the depth and complexity of the situation: a scene in a 19th-century-set American-Civil-War-era novel (which uses characteristics of surreal overemphasis and wealth as literary technique), written by an early twentieth-century writer, which gives two different time periods' contexts of gender behaviour and racism to work with.

Like, how do you even conform to that?

The Reddit mods have always been delusional.

Oh my god, thank you!

My point was the drama, which was removed from the official thread. And in this link, you can see how much was removed.

Thanks so much!

I just reread the original Reddit post, and they’ve hidden all of the mod responses from me. It’s weird. Give me a minute, I’m trying to find a way to show the original thread ….

What I was trying to show was the censorship that happened even before the latest censorship, plus the mod drama, but it’s apparently harder than I thought.

None of the ways I used to know work anymore.

In nature docs, outsider males usually kill cubs. Simba was often fucking about off by himself when shit went down. He knew the lore, and how to antagonise his uncle. Coy beneficent my foot.

Oh little buddy, it’s too late now. You’ve made your bed with Nazis, and it’s full of piss and shit, but now you have to lie in it.

If you’re not rich or powerful enough to float to the top – and you’re not – you’re going to have to deal with the Nazi filth. Too bad absolutely nobody warned you. Oh well.

Like in Pennsylvania, perhaps, where he all but admitted to fucking with the voting machines.

They fully believed nobody would call them on it, partly because of the path they’d laid with the media. And they were right.

And even:

Yes, Trump said Musk knows vote-counting computers 'better than anybody'

He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

The idiot can’t keep his mouth shut and basically blabbed exactly what they were doing, yet nobody really listened.

It will never cease to astound me.

Hey man, they’re your rats, not mine.

Either start charging them rent or give me a discount for their upkeep. My rental agreement didn’t include a whole colony of roommates.

Found my new band name.

The Lost City with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. It seems like a tropey romance-action flick, but is more a parody of genre clichés. The writing, acting, and humour are pretty good.

Punching Nazis is always self defence, since being a Nazi in public is an act of violence.
