You could also say by terminating him the company could be under scrutiny because of his race. I donâ(TM)t know all the details but i understand he had no criminal record. If he was actually stealing in the job and the company knew the. he should have been immediately fired, but thereâ(TM)s no way anyone could foretell someone would do that.

I drew parallels in one forum where I pointed out the disparity in how the media and the government responded to the Capitol riots vs the many violent BLM riots and got mobbed for example. Ive gotten banned by joking about my wife being 'cheap' in another by a mob of man-hating feminists. After several attempts of discourse that were just clearly getting shut down, I even posted in jest that Reddit was a left leaning, anti-free speech site on UNPOPULAR OPINIONS of all subreddits and got banned. That's not free speech. Interesting you threw the racism card out there, that's probably the most popular left-wing tactic to shut down any criticism of leftist political agenda or anyone who doesnt vote Democrat. When the left gets to define what's 'racist' then subsequently shut down the conversation, how is that free speech...

If Reddit was "a place for open and authentic discussion and debate", then don't allow negative karma on a post...cap it at zero. Otherwise if you say something unpopular, which is mostly anything a 20 something liberal wouldnt agree with, the mob downvotes you, your comment is hidden, and your total karma goes down (which a lot of subreddits require positive karma). So what do you do...you try to say things that please the crowd, you try not to rock the boat. That's the system reddit created, they dont ge tto claim that its a place for open discussion and debate when you shut down unpopular opinions.

Reddit controls how reddit works. "Reddit is a place for open and authentic discussion and debate." Simply not true at all, and yes I understand who moderators are and they arent corporate employees.

"Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy. " What a load of bull. Try posting something thats not remotely agreeable to the left and watch yourself get downvoted to oblivion, hiding your comment, draining your karma, or the mods will just outright ban you. I have NOT witnessed Reddit to be a very open forum for discourse and different ideas AT ALL, And this is in no way supporting COVID misinformation either.

The first email I get from any company I always unsubscribe from all emails.

What are you waiting for....this car ain't gonna blow itself.

I refuse to give two sh*ts about what these idiot millennials find offensive. They are a loud minority and they frankly offend me.

I donâ(TM)t have a problem with peopleâ(TM)s feelings getting hurt, and that is not at all what Iâ(TM)m describing.

Itâ(TM)s funny to see the ACLU defend TikTok using the freedom of speech angle while silently allowing the left to attack it relentlessly in this country.

All this is doing is continuing to decrease the value of a college diploma. If you lower the bar to get into a given university to appease some demographic, you will end up with more 'graduates' that do not have the same historical aptitude and skills that we used to expect from those who earned a degree. I am seeing college graduates now that have English and grammar skills that wouldn't warrant a high school diploma much less a college one. If you can't get a good score on an SAT, what makes you think you will get a good score on a college final? The same disparity crops up, and you then try to 'fix' the problem again by lowering the bar for final exams, for graduating, etc. This country needs to accept the fact that not all people have the same talents and abilities, and that there is only so much you can do about it. I don't think race should be a factor AT ALL in any capacity for anything. It should be 100% skill and merit. If there are disparities, work with those populations to bring them up, not bring the bar down. Because what will happen is you get more people with college degrees that really didn't have the aptitude and skill in the first place, they will be placed in jobs where they will not have the same abilities to be successful, and you have the exact same diversity problem at the management level and above because of job performance and upward mobility discrepancies.

BMW's in particular seem to yield less, drive more aggressively, tailgate, etc.

Maybe the cancer is caused by the drug deal or prostitute arrangement that said booth is used for....

Sounds like you had a terrible manager, but what you said isn't some universal truth. I've been in management for over 10 years. It wasn't because I cared about power to prop up my own ego, it's because I outperformed others and I was intelligent and reliable. The first few years as a manager I learned a lot about how to get what you need from people by trial and error, then finally started reading books on leadership and management to learn the craft. It's not the most fun job in the world either. Many times I wish I could clock in and clock out and not have everyone's problems be mine. Someone d*cks around on their cellphone instead of doing their job, then wants to work overtime to get caught up. Someone clips their toenails at their desk or microwaves fish and stinkbombs the office. Every angry client demands to speak to you. Someone's year end bonus amount, if they get promoted, if they get hired, if they get fired...you have to make decisions constantly that can affect the company and people's lives. Everything you do is scrutinized...what you wear, what you say, who you talk to. It's a lot of responsibility. Some days you think...I wouldn't mind doing something else but you wear the golden handcuffs. You have a salary and a mortgage and a family. Try being a manager, and be the manager you want to have. Come in and work, figure out what your boss wants from you and say and do the right things. Work 10% harder than your coworkers. Don't bitch about things, just be helpful. It's not hard, I've seen plenty of people work their way up just by doing simple things like that.

This is the event that made me realize digital privacy is important to anyone, not just those who know they are doing something they need to hide. There was a case a few years ago where some guy left his toddler in the carseat instead of dropping him off at daycare and the kid died. The police went through his online history and found he was talking to prostitutes and engaging in other extramarital, sexually deviant behavior. On that alone, they gave him life in prison because a jury believed he intentionally left the child to die based on that alone. I have no idea if that's what truly happened or not, maybe there was other evidence that really connected those dots. But based on what was in the news, I found that to be way outside of what a reasonable person would consider proving beyond reasonable doubt. It sounded more like a moralistic judgement based on his online activity that had nothing to do with the death. This is the problem as I see it; who gets to defines what 'normal' online behavior is? If you get accused of a crime you didn't do and it's discovered that you watched graphic accidents on LiveLeak, or perused escort ads, or looked at extreme pornography etc, there's no frame of reference for how "normal" or common that behavior is. Until that is better understood by the general public, any prosecutor can convince a group of 12 mediocre idiots off the street to convict you on any charge they want based on character assassination alone.
