  • Okay. I'll hire based on what genitals a person was lotteried with. Seems fair, I guess?

    We live in a progressive world that hires for boobies and pee-pees! The starving so-and-so that grew up poor, uneducated, and trodden on, but garnered the skills and experienc in defiance can get fucked. Oh, unless coincidentally they meet the quota. That'd be nice.

  • Interesting. I was recently told I have to hire a woman in a replacement role to balance it out. We have a bit over 70% female workforce, 64% women in senior positions, but the team I'm hiring for has 2 female, 3 male.

    It felt very wrong, being put into a position where the best person for the job may not get it because of their gender. Just thought it was ironic, like humanity had gotten no where in the last 20 years despite appearances.

  • People don't do that, though. That's the point. It's wasted effort, proven to never work, but people keep bashing their head on the wall expecting a different result "this time" rather than trying something else.

    Their enemies certainly aren't concerned. "It's just another social media thing. It'll be over before dinner." Hell, sometimes they go more brazen just for laughs

  • It's not a first step. This stuff happens all the time and it fades away in a couple weeks and everyone goes back to complaining but still participating in their problems. Social media is notorious for soft trends, a short attention span, and minimal effort.

    Edit: And now the time has been and gone, see? Haven't heard anything since and it is all but completely forgotten. Every. Fucking. Time. Little social media warriors 🙄

  • Yeah, what this article needs is some facts to base itself on.

    It could be a big deal, or also not. Nothing was presented to indicate much else, and conspiracy theories have never been much more than entertaining "what if" ideas, rarely factually pursued further.

    If it's a big deal, present the facts as to why, otherwise I may as well be a navy man and a pilot simply by being second generation born to that. I wish that were true. Love the sky and sea.

  • Yeah, Americans don't seem to get that. Biden and the Dems we'd consider right as well, just not anywhere near as extreme as the Republican Party, which seems to be the most right-wing party of any democracy in the world.

  • There's plenty to go off here, but this is a stretch.

    My grandfathers were an RAAF pilot and a South African Navy man. None of that has anything to do with what I am. I'd be unprepared if people started attacking me about such topics as I know almost nothing about them.

  • I don't think you've met an 11-year old. They're typically incapable of doing things so traumatic that a person with an comprehensive understanding of life and suicide would take the suicide option. The stats are so insignificant they can barely be acknowledged.

    I find it quite crass that you're so staunchly opposed to other people.contemplating multiple explanations for such an ordeal. First you throw in the word "blame" out of context, but I think it's worse that you're putting this much energy into keeping the narrative in such a black and white manner for what can only be assumed is that it best suits your political views.

    As said before—and whether you fit into it or mot—its normal human behaviour to contemplate and consider such things, especially with death. You can't lash out at people for being normal just because you don't like it.

  • Blame?

    I kinda wonder how aware she was of the consequences of what she was doing.

    That's not blame.

    That's a perfectly normal thing to wonder.

    1. Was the bullying so bad it caused 12 year old suicide?
    2. Or being 11, did they have a fully comprehensive understanding of what suicide is?

    These are both very plausible and terrible things.

    No 'blame" in there. Get off that soapbox and back onto earth.

  • My fav part about a flight is getting off the screen. I just put on tunes and work through a crossword book or try guess where I am from the terrain below. Also catching a sundog is super neat. Feels relaxing.

    It's only long flights I'll take a screen for movies or something. I find it very hard to fall asleep if I'm not laying down on my stomach or side, so long flights can be rough.

  • Out of those injuries, one child and two adults are critically injured. The rest of the injuries are minor to moderate

    If they're using the AIS appropriately, somehow three people skipped serious and severe injuries and went straight to a 30%+ chance of dying. I cannot imagine a scenario of how this is possible in a confined tube where everything is secured away and the other 96% of people walk on out of there with a minor fractures at best.

    All I've thought is a large passenger somehow came unfastened and crushed people, causing skeletal damage, organ ruptures, collapsed lungs, etc. and now the stastical odds is at least one of those critical patients ain't gonna make it.
