Topic	Furry fired from NASA internship after twitter rant celebrating NASA internship.
streamofthesky 08/21/18 7:08:38 PM #40:	darkknight109 posted... Sure it's stupid. I said as much in my post. She was also ridiculously excited that she got her dream job and was speaking in language that's very normal on Twitter. I've seen plenty of twitter posts linked on here and other sites, of all sorts informal topics. In my experience, that's not "normal language" even for twitter, outside of people outright flaming each other back and forth. Maybe you just hang out in edgier parts of it. darkknight109 posted... You know this person based on two Twitter posts they made, whereas the person whom they insulted flat-out said that she's an excellent candidate who deserves the position. It's ridiculously over-the-top to assume this person is a "dumb ass" given how little you know about them (and particularly given that they got accepted to NASA in the first place). By the way, you were in favour of this person losing their job because they insulted someone online and you just insulted someone online. That sensation you're feeling is called "cognitive dissonance"... She was a dumb ass. She literally told someone who hadn't even antagonized her, "I work for NASA, so suck my genitals." That's a fair criticism based on her actions. You're bending yourself into pretzels to try and equate all forms of insult as even remotely equal or unwarranted. Random guy told her "language" and she immediately snapped back in such a vulgar way, while simultaneously flouting her place of employment as proof of status apparently w/o realizing she was thus making her employer look bad. I simply called a spade a spade. Yup, totally the same. insert Judge Judy eyeroll giff darkknight109 posted... And it's worth noting that her firing wasn't even orchestrated by the person she was talking to and that when he found out, he got her her job back. That should immediately highlight that this was an overreaction to a relatively minor breach of protocol. It highlights that Hickam is a very nice person, and basically went to bat for her. Nothing more. He had no involvement in her firing (nor original hiring), felt guilty thinking his involvement lead to her getting fired, and then put in effort to help her. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:907306979] in Furry fire...
