Almost learned this the hard way with a coworker. Mentioned to my boss that another (previously overweight) guy in our office had clearly lost a lot of weight and that I hadn’t had a chance to let him know he was looking good, and my boss got wide-eyed and said, “Don’t do that…he’s got stage III cancer.”

You’re right, but I just noticed something about that (I’m probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it…ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.
You sound like one of my PMs. “Klugerama, your coworker was able to resolve a UI issue in just 3 days, why did it take you over 3 weeks to convert 50k lines of code from C# to Java?”
“there are some similarities so they are the same because it supports my argument”
ok sure but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for all people in all situations. you’ll notice that they did, in fact still post it - they didn’t censor it. they just tagged it NSFW.
there’s been plenty of times when I’m bored at work, and could totally get away with browsing whatever on lemmy; but I don’t feel like having a conversation with HR because someone walks by my desk. I’d much rather know there’s something here that might offend someone (even if it doesn’t offend me, or you personally for that matter).
Fred Trump?
Read the article. That’s not at all what this is about.

klugerama@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s X just sued a nonprofit advertising group out of existence3·11 months agoOk, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn’t directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.
My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn’t substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that’s good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.

There were 3 teens, two with BB guns. The first dropped his and was on the ground, straddled by Shooter McFuckhead when the second, still standing, was shot.
Thank god there was a “good guy with a gun” there. Otherwise nobody would have died!
