2·2 months agoTrue, forgot all about the tenure system, which I barely understand beyond the memes as it is.
Still, earlier discussion holds; outrage that they didn’t fire him yet makes zero sense.
Now, as Devil’s Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don’t have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are “Right to Work.”
Back on Team “Give them a second for crying out loud,” we’re talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we’d hope any employer we’d ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there’s evidence supporting an accusation against us.
Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R “Rights” as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.
Turns out it’s not a Cloudflare issue, but a lemmy.world admin issue:
1·2 months agoVPNs usually add IPs all the time.
That’s not usually how it works.
It is apparently how it works for lemmy.world, as of at least this post from two years ago:
To those who didn’t click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)
Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren’t concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.
1·2 months agoHot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:
It’s not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.
At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.
Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.
Apologies - didn’t realize I was talking to someone who has bouts of nihilism mixed in with their political activism like rocks in a salad.
Enjoy the block!
True, but your implication that I’m not doing enough while I’m sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.
1·2 months agoI just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others
Speaking of making assumptions…
How is that an assumption? You were looking down on Redditors for having less sex than Lemmings, were you not? Or was that a different /u/Almacca?
defended [sic] by me telling you off for being dumb
Are you asserting I made a grammatical error? By all means, point it out. Don’t be coy.
Haha [sic]. Sure [sic].
I mean, we’re equally affected if you want to play that game. You’ve replied to every one of my comments.
Honestly I don’t know why I didn’t block you sooner. It’s clear you take pleasure in shitting on and getting a rise out of people. Bye, Felicia!
I just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others, especially if the target is objectively higher up on the matter in question.
You can guffaw at your own assumptions about me based on who’s defended by me telling you off for being dumb if you want. Doesn’t really affect me and it appears to make your day better. At least that way you never have to work on self-improvement!
Administrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.
In other words, your question amounts to:
“An investigation started? Shouldn’t it be over before it began?”
No, that’s not how investigations work.
1·2 months agoI have no idea if “Fire!” in a crowded theater is covered by a different statute or not in my state without looking it up, but yes, Disorderly Conduct would be what I would use in that scenario too. Getting too specific with a statute can result in the defendant getting off on a technicality. You make the arrest for F.S.S. 69.420 “Fire In A Crowded Theater” and then in trial a year later it turns out “crowded” per case law is 100+ people, but the theater only had 99 that day.
Involuntary psychiatric holds tend to ruin people’s lives much more than a simple non-violent misdemeanor arrest, not to mention you have to demonstrate there is an imminent risk of harm and they appear mentally ill.
-
Imminent Risk of Harm - Kinda? I’d call it probable risk of harm in the next few hours or days.
-
Mental Illness - Certainly not, they were just angry at each other.
-
Actually no, both were very much “This person definitely needs to be removed from the public before someone gets hurt” and (virtually) all we had was that catch-all statute.
TLDR:
-
Lady kicks open a door to a church with 300+ people and screams “None of you are getting to heaven on my watch!” Panic, chaos, everyone assuming she was a mass shooter and went running for the doors.
-
Roomate vs. Roommate increasingly tense arguing and 911 calling on each other “fearing for their lives.” This being Florida, both had guns “and weren’t afraid to use them.” The last call was them arguing at each other on their porch and a neighbor called 911 because it seemed like it was getting heated to her.
You can read the post I made about my termination. I’d sticky it on my profile like I did on Reddit, but I don’t think lemmy.world has a “sticky” feature:

Used to be, yeah. Got fired about 6 years ago now.
Build a large enough catalogue of bulk data and anything can be used to track you.
We bought “It’s just so we can catch the terrorists!” hook, line, and sinker post-9/11.
But when “terrorism” is redefined as “making people in power upset,” we’re in big trouble.
So don’t say anything rude about Donald Trump or the FBI will seek you out:
I think Reddit is just publicly acknowledging the quiet part (and simultaneously saving money by firing their humans):
Virtually no matter what Reddit does, most people don’t care because they’re too lazy to switch to alternatives.
What happened in the aftermath of the /r/art debacle? People made some memes and continued to use Reddit.
