Requiem 09/13/23 10:16:02 PM #49 | Ferroseed posted... what are you trying to gain by deflecting from the subject with an argument over word choice that you started? what compelled you to even start this? Deflected from what subject? I don't think I've ever argued that it wasn't horrid. I just find it strange that many of you are insisting this was shocking. We have similar issues of selective victim attention occurring in the media, as well, And different people have offered various explanations for the phenomenon. Just curious what your reasons are (and wondering how closely they match with the explanations given for the occurrance in popular news media). --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

So many of you guys claimed this was shocking. While I agree that it's horrid, I just don't see this as being "shocking" when we have seen so much worse. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

So, VFalcone, why don't you tell me why this was a particulary shocking crime to you, when we have things like the Catholic Church scandals, the indigenous population in Canada, Uighur in China, or just too often ordinary horrid crimes in every corner of the globe. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

Requiem 09/13/23 9:45:41 PM #35 | Yeah, so explain.
And, I guess you can find examples of more horrid and shocking sexual assaults/crime in any parts of the world. I said the US because I didn't want to pretend it didn't happen to us (or I guess be pointing fingers at other nations pretending we were free from it). If you think this was particularly shocking, I suppose congrats are in order that you guys live in a much safer place than the US or most of the world. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

Requiem 09/13/23 9:39:17 PM #31 | So, explain.
If you want to claim all sexual assaults are horrible, then I don't think you'll find very many people disagreeing with you. But what makes this more shocking than others? I mean, we live in a world with child rape, trafficking, slavery, etc etc. Or, that example one of the posters posted about the mob. Compared to those, not really shocking. Horrible, yes, but not shocking. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |
Topic | Korean streamer sexually assaulted on livestream in Hong Kong |
Requiem 09/13/23 9:30:10 PM #29 | Ok, tell me, why was this particularly shocking?
Was it horrible, sure? But compared to various sexual crime that happens in the US (or other parts of the world... or even in HK), this isn't one of the more shocking ones. The only reason some people say it was "shocking" is because it involved someone famous or known to them. Otherwise, as a crime, it's not one of the more shocking ones. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

I guess this is the article. First, the poll itself is a suspect A poll conducted on The Muse indicated that sixty percent of people claim to have noticed their organizations retreating from diversity commitments. More than a third of users said that their employer put a strong emphasis on diversity during the initial job interview, and then failed to produce any significant DEI efforts upon being hired. It's important to note that the poll is not an accurate portrayal of the U.S. population, as the majority of participants were non-white, 65% were women and 53% were millennials and Gen Z. Have to say, it has a pretty BS conclusion. Minshew maintains that diversity is a make-or-break factor for most people when it comes to accepting a job offer, saying, I don't think that the job seeker pool is going to care less about [diversity]. Let's be honest. The biggest factor is pay. That's the make-or-break factor for most people. --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |

And while this is obviously a troll topic and didn't happen, for anybody curious, never abuse a glitch like this. It's legally theft, and they can do more than charge you the money if you do it for a high enough amount. So if you're ok with paying for a product, is it ok to go ahead and buy (with intention for the "real" payment to be deducted later when they fix the bug)? Like, let's say I want to order something from the place, and the price is bugged to $0 (instead of, say, $40), can I go ahead and order it and wait for the real bill to arrive later? Or would it be better to just give up on the steak for the night and order something else? --- Copyright free literature available at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page... otherwise known as Tex-Mex |
