Did I spend hours yesterday arguing about politics on the Charli sub? Yes I did. And the main user I was engaging with, I pointed out they were being a bit rude and condescending in absolutely the nicest way possible because I’m not gonna be mean to a trans ally. Checking back this morning, they deleted all their posts and comments on a > 1 year old account, I am hoping for unrelated reasons or maybe they were a bot but now I can’t get it out of my head and I feel bad and I blame Charli

This wouldn’t even be possible at the place I work lmao. When I started there there was still a physical server in the building that housed my now empty desk (yeah it’s still there after 4 years of work from home) hosting some of our applications, there was a room that had a filing cabinet filled with punch cards, we had to fill out paper forms sometimes to get access to a database. Our security team has no idea what they’re doing, like they’re not even technical, we have basically one very good dev ops guy frantically duct taping over processes designed, badly, in the early 2000s, their job will never be done and they’ll never pay for another person if that calibre to join the team.

The idea of this happening to a bleeding edge 100 billion dollar tech company is fucking hilarious, I guarantee you the devs were constantly complaining to management about the possibility of such a scenario, and some poor overworked programmer is going to lose their career while their boss gets another high paying management job after the company goes under, or just retires out of savings.

Because it’s free money? I have like 3% of my net worth on there right now, not that that’s saying much

Yeah still quite problematic “attacked by IDF dog”, as if the dog was responsible. Even if the dog attacked unprompted, doubtful, it clearly bit this poor guy for quite some time without any intervention by the soldiers. “Left to die”, by whom?

How about this: “Gaza man with Down’s syndrome and autism dies after attack by IDF dog during raid on household, denied medical attention or access to family in his final hours”

“Gaza man with Down’s syndrome attacked by IDF dog and left to die, mother tells BBC”

I think I object to these stealth fixes, the original headline should be considered a correction and clearly indicated

They changed the headline, not sure if that is good or bad

That’s actually laughatron, roughly understood as God’s sense of humor. He’s seen here batting the bullet downward into Trump’s ear.

Trump: I don’t get it

Laughatron: It went over your head
