Although Teixeira asked Discord members not to share the documents, an investigative journalism group, Bellingcat, found that Teixeira’s friends spread the documents widely, first to other Discord servers, then to Telegram, 4Chan, and Twitter (now called X).
What’s the saying? Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead?
I’m just telling you it’s a bad idea to go tell a Mexican or Brazilian or anyone else not in the US or Canada that they’re part of the US hegemony ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t think they’d love being told by a tourist what the US did to their countries.
I’ve only been fortunate enough to travel abroad once before, but my experience had nothing like what you’re worried about. The worst that happened was almost getting scammed at the airport, which is something you’ll have to worry about in imperial core countries too. People were either kind or neutral to our presence.
to me; all of the cultures that speak both languages belong to the same hegemony as the american empire
Ummm perhaps do not tell Central/South Americans this while visiting their country, lol.
Basically every country has their own sign language or an imported sign language that became standardized.
But learning any sign language will make it a lot easier for you to communicate with signers of any sign language. Not because they’re necessarily similar to each other, but because sign language varies a lot regionally anyway (and even locally depending on what method of signing you’re taught) and it will be much more natural to find ways to work around it and communicate with each other.
It is, but you don’t have to hand them the evidence yourself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reminder to never post anything on social media, ESPECIALLY on federated social media where federating deletions is a courtesy, that you wouldn’t be comfortable explaining in front of a hostile judge.
Oh, I don’t even mean from lost sales, I mean because this service is fundamentally going to cost more than the “theft” (lol) it’s allegedly stopping. If any one employee (or even a team) is doing this at scale and a business needs AI tracking customers to pick up on it, there is something drastically wrong.
This service is basically pure AI hype. It’s not doing anything a minimally engaged manager couldn’t already do with the salary you’re having to pay them anyway. Except the AI is also doing it worse and at a higher cost. Yay!
About a month ago, Israel-based Corsight AI began offering its global clients access to a new service aimed at rooting out what the retail industry calls “sweethearting,”—instances of store employees giving people they know discounts or free items.
Lol, I hope stores that use this lose millions on this stupid ass privacy invasion. Anyone stupid enough to believe the savings of catching a 10% employee discount used occasionally for friends or whatever is going to offset whatever the fuck this most recent torment nexus is going to cost frankly deserves to be swindled.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Anything worth doing is worth half assing. If you don’t feel like doing the assignment, sit down and start doing the work, but badly. Don’t check your work or self edit, for reading just skim it. No matter how badly you do it, it’s still going to be better than none of it being done.
Often just starting is enough to get you engaged and do better work. And if it’s not, well, half assed is better than nothing.
Just take the next step and make a text file you dump all these commands into and then forget about in a week. When you randomly stumble across it years from now you’ll be able to say “wow, I could have used this 10 months ago if I remembered it existed!”
I’m not saying it’s definitely a recovered memory from a past life as an amoeba, but if you did recover a memory from a past life as an amoeba it would probably be a lot like that
My client doesn’t give me a number, but I would estimate it as at least equal to the number you have blocked. Comprised almost entirely of people who are trolls, spam bots, or generally incredibly unpleasant and not who I want polluting my feed.
I don’t think you should be embarrassed by it at all, instances themselves can easily be viewed as curated block lists, as any instance not filled to the brim with internet refuse is going to be blocking at least some instances (along with all the users on it). Adding a few hundred more to it is just fine tuning.
Thanks for the medication info! I’ve been in therapy and currently have a psychiatrist but haven’t focused much on the screaming issue. I’ll bring it up in my next appointment to see if it would work well with my meds.
I assume it must be nightmares, but I usually don’t remember them when I’m woken up. I think it’s PTSD related, but who knows.
That I will scream in my sleep and have nobody to wake me up, and it’ll be embarrassing at minimum and maybe get the cops called at worst.
The screaming part isn’t hypothetical, it happens pretty regularly.
Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?
Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.
It sounds like you gave your kitty a long, love-filled life. I’m sorry they can’t be with you longer.
Don’t feel embarrassed at all, it’s a totally normal fear and like you said she’s definitely seen worse. You got this 💪
If you needed a trans person to come tell you this is not okay: hi! Here I am! Don’t do this. All it does is advertise that you view using someone’s correct name as a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior.
