Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn’t know it’s fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a thin line over it that barely covers it. I was about to shit a brick.
fuck
The only explanation I’ve heard is that big domains like .world use AI to scan images for filtering. That and reposting content from other website with strict profanity filters.
What’s with people and their hate boners for a bar over a swear word? They’re just reposted from Reddit or twitter or something
Because I’m tired of the culture where we call things “grape”, “corn” and “pewpews” and infantilize serious topics for the sake of being advertised to.
Come at me, “It’s not that serious” brigade.
its annoying that people want to share these posts but are offended (or afraid of advertisers being offended) by the words “fuck”, “shit”, “bitch”, “pussy”, “rape”, “suicide”, so on and so fourth.
Yeah, I don’t get it. I personally don’t like swearing, but I honestly don’t mind reading or hearing it. It’s really weird to me that people get mad at not seeing swearing, as if somehow naughty words make something better.
Express yourself however you want.
I think it’s not about swearing making something better than it is about swearing being apart of the original text. After all, nobody would be complaining if there just wasn’t a swear word to begin with. Now we get a giant block of color that distracts from everything around it and half the time doesn’t even do it’s job (I can still see and clearly tell what the word is)
In my opinion it is not about swearing, and (not) seeing it, it is about censorship. Some big sites censor content that contains words that are considered bad by advertisers, these are not only swear words but also words like die, suicide, porn… This has changed the way some people communicate, with people using euphemisms or censoring words in images themselves: people censoring themselves before the big internet site censors them.
As you wisely said: “Express yourself however you want”. The original author of the text in this post used a swear word and later it was censored by someone reposting it in social media to avoid upsetting the censorship machine or whatever website it was. I find this unacceptable.
I fully support using a rich vocabulary and not using swear words, being polite. There are many reasons to do this: respect for others, improving ones communication skills, practising formal writing… but giving in to censorship imposed by social media websites should NEVER be one. Fuck censorship. It is unacceptable to allow big tech companies to shape the way we speak with their censorship.
Express yourself however you want, if the website you’re in doesn’t allow you to do it don’t give in to censorship, give up that website and look for a place where you can express yourself.
That’s how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol
This is exactly what I think every time I hear about boring jobs. Why not use the time for something else? But I suppose in many boring jobs you are still monitored and have to pay attention.
Many boring jobs are overly strict and forbid employees for any form of multi tasking and often not because it would make them worse workers but because the employer has all the power and would rather not take any risks even though the risks are so minimal.
I mean if you pay someone to watch something, you think it is a super easy job, but you want him to do their best.
Still I don’t think it’s reasonable for someone to be at maximum alertness watching like a store somewhere at night.
But I believe there are many jobs where people don’t care. You have to be there and not break some rules, but that’s it.
It’s somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.
I agree. I’m lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver’s job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it’s a win-win for everyone.
I agree, though I prefer the Negative Income Tax formulation over Universal Basic Income, for the simple reason that there’s a lot less bookkeeping (only need to pay out for people making <$X). Ensure everyone is over the poverty line whether employed or not and we can eliminate the minimum wage and people will likely be better off since they can pursue their passions (which they’ll likely be a lot more productive at) instead of doing whatever makes enough money.
Not disagreeing with the idea, but it seems like this would also have the side effect of incentivizing employers to aggressively and artificially reduce wages and pass that burden on to the taxpayer, if you’re eliminating minimum wage.
I think it’s an interesting idea, but one that seems prone to abuse by unethical parties. Not that our current system is immune to that either.
Ah, that’s actually really great. I always wondered how UBI would work on a large scale when already wealthy people are in the mix. I mean, they don’t exactly need it.
Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?
If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can’t wait for working hours?
These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.
Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.
Go to any 24/7 store around 3-4am and you’ll probably see people restocking shelves.
I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.
I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.
You’d have to be pretty low volume not to have shit to do. Hell, moving pallets around that were placed in overstock way far from their stock location because people were too busy would be a full time job itself. That said, it’s rare for anyone overnight to get the training to actually know what needs to be done.
I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.
I quit when I got another job. My boss was gunning for me for other reasons when I left though.
