That's exactly it. Cancel culture as a term is used as a term to deride anyone bucking the system as this point.

In case a)(this one), it's used to put down people who don't agree with singing a song, later we will see b) where a lot of netizens pile on someone when they had incorrect information and further we will see c) where people displaying Nazi salutes are complaining about deplatforming.

If anyone wants to have a conversation about any of these, then we can, but to decry cancel culture is just trying to lump in the good reasoning with the bad.

It feels as if certain blocs are solidifying their grip for an upcoming event.

Events seems to be accelerating and it's beginning to make me nervous.

I disagree, partially. We, (and I mean you guys as I'm an amateur here), can help build tools to inform and help spread information.

Parse information in a way which helps people fighting climate change is helpful.

I'm not familiar with the example you gave, but what if it's just an old school tax write-off? "Buy" something for crazy value, whilw knowing the buyer, then later get that money back and claim (some strange tax law) it on tax?

Edit: Ahh I missed you part about other comments, I guess I was pretty close

Okay this may come off as naive, or even completely wrong, so give me a break but...

What if you tied the price to a trade able good. Eg: $x USD in BTC. While it completely negates the idea of BTC, allows you to list an item for sale at a stable value.

I agree, in hospitality you see a lot of passionate chefs, most burn out due to working insane hours as they are passionate about: that dish, that prep, that service, that function, covering and ensuring that service runs when the shift is short.

I left for teaching English, and I see the same thing. Every advert wants someone passionate, and then once they are in oh we need this covered, this extra work 'think of the children' style, and the same burn out occurs.

I'm passionate about one particular sub-sect of software, but I've learnt my lesson. I most certainly won't get a job doing it. I'll continue to tinker in my free time, and keep it for myself.

Don't forget our laws here in Australia. (I know you mentioned eyes countries, which we are, but I wanted to highlight this).

Our laws are so damn barbaric in relation to security that it's scary.

It's gotten to the point where I nearly gave up on security. Who's compromised?

I definitely missed out on a job because I was Australian. (Confirmed later over drinks with one of the devs who I am friends with).

What we do in Japan. They don't deliver, you call the delivery service to reorganise delivery at a convenient time for you

My current wireless headset costs $10. My wife bought it on sale, cheap Chinese crap, but I'd prefer to go through 10 pairs in the next year than shell out $500. That price point is crazy

Yours is very edge case though, and the grandparent is rightly pointing out that the headline is a little misleading and comments are generally negative for a positive aspect.

Or is it because wages havnt risen with inflation, reducing buying power for every day goods?

I had a bad review from someone I interviewed and didn't hire. Disputed and it's still there, 2 years later.

There was! I found out about the feature about a month before it was removed...

Nothing, wife, son and myself family dinner, video call the rest of the family.

Maybe Goto the park a few times for my son.

Too much empathy to risk someone's life being selfish.

Male teacher here. 37 ex amateur MMA fighter(5 fights), life time of martial arts training.

I am one of the most sought out teachers for our kindergarten classes, I'm energetic, friendly and have excellent control of the classroom resulting in students being more interested in attending.

I have an excellent record with the quiet and shy students, to the point where other teachers in our other schools are told to speak to me for advice.

My history has very little bearing as a teacher, as I do not condone any forms of violence in the classroom.

Creating blanket statements without knowledge, results in irrational fears.

While I agree with your ideals, I disagree on your argument.

Money is plentiful, we need to stop hiding the fact that switching will cost us some money. Who cares, if we have a livable planet.

I argue that it's time for some politicians with a back bone and start enforcing laws and charging carbon taxes.

Those taxes will help (a lot) to pay for the myriad of green tech we need.

I have zero faith that we will do anything productive. I am so disappointed in the human race, more specifically large businesses.

We have known for a long time, the science is solid and being updated constantly, yet large companies don't do shit.

Doesn't matter how much recycling I do (which turns out is probably a waste of time), if a fucking billion dollar company creates a huge mess in a 3rd world country and pays peanuts.

/Rant

This happens a lot in hospitality. Most chefs I know (myself included), set a timer, then go back to the job just before the timer goes off.

Fairly normal for me as it's had to continue herne on Japan. More masks(permanent now), frequent sanitizer and hand washing is part of the norm now.

I (and other teachers I have spoken with over here) am quite comfortable wearing a mask all the time now. Took a bit to get useto though.

And i.reddit.com for mobile

Not with this president

Actually yes, for my senior high school students and I specificily mentioned the cameras in the class rooms lol

I do. It's quite common in Japan to not have a surround sound etc. Our neighbours are quite close lol

This. I'm working as an ESL teacher and upper management made me install cameras in every classroom, then pipe that feed to their home and head office.

Couldn't afford to leave, so I had to do it. I've left now though when I finally lined up something better.

While I agree your situation sounds better, I had zero days (and due to work being shitty, barely saw my son for the first 3 months), so I'd call it a successful start.

Huh that explains it! I realised (somehow) that if I ctrl-q (or alt-f4) in a mission, it kicks you out to the Misson finished with the same results as your last completed mission.

Other companies go out of business while his can ride it out.

Your essentially saying, you won't use hardware x because software y is available. Allowing me to use software y does not impact you.

You think that allowing another app store will ruin your iPhone?

That's incorrect. Just don't use it.

No racist means what it always has. Discrimination due to race.

Racists are playing the blame card, and shifting the goals more now though.
