In this case the article is all about multiple people who faced suicidal ideation. Who they themselves attribute to all this doge bs. It isn’t just job loss, or the fear and stress of it, but the job itself as well. The article covers multiple industries and sources. It is a fantastic article so I urge you to read it

Perhaps you’re thinking of John Birch Society? You have me curious now
asteriskeverything@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.zip•4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is EverywhereEnglish262·2 months agoI really appreciate seeing an article written by someone who is actually familiar with the culture and history of the site.
Qanon and Actual Nazis were not 4chan norm back in the day. The alt right nazi hateful shit was posted but it was more like larping/shock value immature crap and nothing like what we see in the mainstream social/media today. Misogyny too. I’m not denying that there weren’t people there who meant it but it was 99% shitposting. There’s also the hacktivism, social activism, soooooooo many memes like as substantial as YouTube as establishing the humor culture of the internet. I find the site so fascinating and much more than some cesspool of evil it became.
It is weird it is gone. I suspect moot is not so interested in sticking his neck and wallet out to protect the freedom of speech for facscists trying to destroy democracy and that’s why it’s not back. I’m pretty sure 4chan has been down before for various reasons more substantial than hacking but it could be fabricated memory

And just because it is the status quo does not mean the general public is aware of it or the actual extent. It needs to be spelled out to them how and why.
Honestly I find it hard to believe any teens are on Facebook now, maybe IG is still cool? Nothing like before. Idk I don’t think teens are on those platforms really

Yeah I suppose so, but they sure as shit used the data for their own gain. That team really was the road of good intentions

My ambien just kicked in but me thinks he was trying to imply that the hama a refugees were treated horrible. And with no kindness like nazis did. So your captors are even worse than the naxis !
I think that is maybe the goal in that pudding brain.
There’s a podcast for that : Normal Gossip

asteriskeverything@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's my 54th BD, left a $83K IT job last summer, interviewing at Lowe's tomorrow. Is it weird I'm looking forward to it?1·6 months agoI’m glad you have that particular skill, but it absolutely has very little to do with irate customers. That’s more like what makes it a shitty day at the job vs having a shitty job.
Also idk how much variety of people you have had to meet in your career but I venture to guess they are all generally the same socioeconomic backgrounds, education, etc. When you work with the public it is different, the pool is larger and more random, you may learn new ways people can be fucking weird.

Is it weird I'm looking forward to it?11·6 months agoControversial but when it actually IS essentially just “for spending money” part time work, is retail that bad? You have the psychological benefits of seeing new people, having consistent relationships, helping others, physical activity, a routine, and anything else that working may bring to your social calendar. Oh and waaaay less responsibility and pressure.
Cause it is essentially working for mental health reasons instead of financial. It is a lot easier to walk away then as soon as mental health is compromised!

Before that fb wouldn’t let me see anything without an account and X was pulling really similar stunts, requiring an account for full access, although usually you could read the tweet and a few replies maybe.
It is absolutely bullshit for ALL the information to be on a social media post. I’ve definitely gotten them before with age and suspect/vehicle or something, and Twitter would have photos and further details like last seen location and clothes.
Body shaming sucks no matter what. And IMO making fun of penis size is toxic masculinity. That said it is speaking in a language that they understand and use, we have to stoop to speak to their base. I hate all of it :')
