as the hundreds of thousands of responses on Twitter show, a crowd in Ohio doesnt necessarily represent Mulaneys entire fanbase

Twitter likes dont matter.

They are literally meaningless and, if you think otherwise, I would advise that you go outside and touch some grass.

I think Mulaney, a comedian specifically popular with lgbtq people, should have the self awareness to not publicly support a famous transphobe by springing a surprise set by him on his fans

If, as the complaining tweets suggest, the massive stadium of 12,000+ people had a big laugh at Chapelle's jokes, then it was probably the right decision to bring him on. Doesn't seem like he's the one lacking awareness in that situation.

A diversity quantification tool sounds like the kind of thing only a childless white woman could come up with.

Damn. I never got around to buying FE: Conquest or Revelations.

I wonder if I should bother at this point.

It is a little frustrating, in general, that more publishers don't make more of their older content readily available.

I dont like "news" articles that are basically "Some dipshits on Twitter are mad at thing".

I dont know who that alien-looking family is, but it should have been Bob's Burgers.

It is weird that I can buy a pack of chicken thighs and a pack of chicken legs combines for the price of a pack of chicken wings.

I like wings and all, but at that point you're just paying more for less.

Still dont get how anyone finds someone that overweight eating to be something worth watching.

Some of them watch because they are weirdos with a gross feeder fetish.

Others watch because they want to see a freakshow slowly eat himself to death.

Depends on what you mean, by America First.

Because it has been used differently by different people.

Much about gender is socially informed, but the core difference between something like this and being trans is more of a complete disassociation with one's body due to whatever causes gender dysphoria.

It seems trans activists can't even agree on that at this point. Suggesting that one must feel some kind of disassociation or dysphoria to be trans will have them disparage you as a transmedicalist or "truscum".

Its more on an ensemble than most FF games, but Terra is the closest to a main character by a lot. She is certainly a lot more central to the game than any other character.

I can see that happening.

Because some people have a pathological inclination to validate others and the overton window gradually pushes left toward permissiveness.

Its easy to say it is ridiculous now, but some social movements toward acceptance today were disregarded or mocked 20 years ago.

Imagine apologizing.

And so the simping arc for r/antiwork has begun.

I've only seen bits and pieces of that show. Its basically Rape Fantasy: The Animated Series.

I really don't know how it got by as a full series.

Yeah, Yaniv was a total freak show. Still is, apparently, but is just less in the news.

It looks like a study/experiment/project from Claremont University that suggests giving Democrat-identifying males testosterone treatments increased their inclination toward Republicans by 45%.

I've no idea how credible it is though.

I've tried that in the past and never got anything. I'm overqualified for the job I currently have, but I'll keep trying.

I thought it would be obvious that "anything" didn't include literally risking my life, but I guess that kind of common sense isn't for everyone.

I'd say you risk your life every time you leave the house, but you work from home. So, I guess you have a certain lane you want to stick to.

I dont know what you think the military is like, but aside from certain specific jobs in the service, I wouldn't consider it especially risky to your life. It would be one thing if you went into something like infantry, special forces, or EOD but a lot of military jobs are primarily desk work and support that don't actually involve combat. Like ITs, HMs, CTNs, ETs, etc.

_Rinku_ posted...

You know, I didn't think I would need to include the caveat that I wasn't willing to sign away four years of my life, leave everything behind, and be part of a force that I fundamentally disagree with, but... yeah. I'm not going to join the military just to have a chance at getting a job. That's stupid and this is genuinely stupid advice. Even with a degree, I would be enlisting as effectively a grunt. I'm not going to boot camp especially as it looks like we're gearing up for a war in the near future.

Well, the military isn't for everyone. But you probably shouldn't say you're willing to "go into anything", if you actually aren't.

_Rinku_ posted...

I don't know. I kinda just wanted to work a stable, 9-5 office job. Maybe make 50k/year. Live comfortably but not lavishly. All my life I was told, "Go to college, get a degree, and you'll be set for life." I even got one of those fancy "STEM" degrees and not something "useless" like English or History (they're not actually useless, but much harder to apply to post-college jobs), but I haven't been able to use it.

1) Definitely. I'm constantly stressed out about meeting production quotas even though I routinely exceed them. There are constant changes in what's acceptable. During training, I was given a very strict window and I've operated within that. Now I have other managers saying I need to extend that, even though my direct manager took me aside and said I needed to tighten it at one point. It's just the constant confusion between what the company wants that's making this suck so much.
2) I could try, but they were absolutely useless when I was in college. They would give advice to my friends in computer science to try applying for IT help desk jobs after graduation.
3) Not really. I honestly started to hate biology by the time I completed my degree, but I was so far in that I couldn't change. I did minor in computer information systems, so I have some practical skills like SQL, Java, and that sort of stuff. I'm very rusty at this point but I could pick it back up.
4) I mean, I would love to be able to make more money working from home, but if I could get a significant bump in pay, I'd go back to the office. Being able to be home with my animals is making this job tolerable.

I'm willing to go into anything. The main employers around here are all military contractors, defense stuff, that sort of thing. I tried for years to break into that industry and, even with connections, I could never even get an interview because almost all of them want you to already have a security clearance. You can't get a security clearance unless your job sponsors you for one. You can't get a job unless you already have a security clearance and so on and so forth.

Well, generally, the easiest way to get a security clearance is to join the military in a position that requires a clearance.

If you're able, I'd suggest serving a 4 year term in the military. If you already have a degree, you could try commissioning as an officer, since they're much higher paid and have better amenities than enlisted members.

Your options will largely depend on what other fields of work you're willing to go into and what industries are in your area.

If you're set on staying Work From Home status, then you're really limiting your options.

Being the guy who publicly shits on other people without ever taking any major Ls yourself is pretty much impossible. Think he was smart enough to see that and backed out of the drama/commentary space while still on top.

I dont know about that, since most people seem to think he is kind of a joke at this point. Especially after Sam Hyde embarrassed him.

Well, yeah, that should be obvious.

If you don't like what a company does, the product they put out, then they probably not a good place for you to work.

and they did by removing the child from the parents and placing them with foster parents
you did actually follow the full story right and you don't think the police were there to arrest the kid, right? nobody would jump to conclusions without knowing the full story right? haha imagine living only to be outraged - hilarious

That sounds about right.

As I understand it, Wynn wasn't arrested after they bust down her door, they were removed from the home because her parents were being negligent in their duties of ensuring she was getting an education. Whether it was compelling her to accept the school's accommodations or online classes.

You can't just let your kid drop out of school to hopefully take off as a Minecraft streamer.

Its all the digital artwork.

I first noticed with the new Animaniacs. How much better the old version looks.

Spite and resentment.

The right wingers praising Russia are doing it because they hate Democrats and a Democrat is currently in office.

The same reason there are some left wingers defending Russia, because they feel spite and resentment toward America and want to blame America and NATO for Russia attacking Ukraine.

That is understandable, but also largely irrelevant to the Supreme Court's verdicts. They aren't there to make verdicts based on popular opinion.

Yeah, if you've watched 0079 and Zeta. Maybe even The Origin series, if you want to do extra.

They probably just don't want protestors threatening violence and throwing more molotov cocktails.

I've recently developed a little more appreciation for the banjo than I had before.

They send it to a bill collector and your credit takes a hit.

Additionally, it would prevent you from getting a security clearance.

Balnazarr posted...

And they cant just remove you from your home either. A minor can not be detained and removed from the home without good reason. And this wouldn't be up for Police to handle. CPS handles this for a reason.

This isn't a recent development. Judging by the discord messages, Wynn here may not have been attending school since at least October. So, it wouldn't be surprising if there was some official order out there to collect a teenager who's parents haven't been getting them to school for 8 months.

Balnazarr posted...

I'm not calling BS but, this smells bad. The reason why: Police as facist and evil they may be don't go and arrest a truant student without a warrant. If they felt the child was being abused they'd sent a CPS agent to handle this.

The fact that this is solely via her twitter and not reported anywhere else smells fishy. This should be breaking news. A child being arrested by pigs for just existing.

My friend works CPS said he handles truant students from time to time. Police are never involved unless the student has a history of violence. You also can not just automatically remove them from the Parents care and send them to foster care. That's up for the court to decide. A student being truant would not be sent to foster care without warning. Without the parents consent. That's not how any of this works.

I want to believe it's not true. I'll need some second hand verification. if it's true this country is fucked.

Well, I dont think there has been confirmation that they were arrested. What I suspect happened, considering all the talk about foster home, is they were probably removed from the premises by the police to be brought elsewhere.

But thats just speculation until there is more solid info.

Really? I always thought it was. My bad lol.

That being said, it's the only place this information is obtainable.

You can say "Kiwifarms" here, you just can't link to it.

Its not uncommon to find fresh information there, since the purpose of the forum is to document and make fun of weirdos or other interesting/funny people on the internet.

Slayer_22 posted...

Yeah, I'm not finding any news source, and all sources I can find lead to this particular twitter/youtube creator. I can't even find the streamer. And the original twitter user/YouTuber doesn't link back to the original streamer.

On top of that, the only way to contact the girl in question is via the twitter user?

This seems really fake. I hope it is, as this is fucking awful, but all signs point to it being fake.

https://m.twitch.tv/videos/1468382391

Is what I found on Kiwifarms. The first 16 minutes of the video is them complaining about probably having to go to foster care. The cops come in at about 16:40

The "Are ya winnnin'?" was kinda funny, but the only interaction before the video ends is the streamer saying they're going to pretend the cops aren't there.
