The funniest thing about Bitchdubs I Can't Believe It's Not A Like System like system is its been put into to counteract an unrelenting wave of negativity that somehow shows up in almost every thread, when they could have just tempbanned Postreplysmasher for a few weeks and achieved the same thing

[Tucker's Law]

Hey hey,



I was gone for 8-12 (weeks.)  What'd I miss?  Did Nepenthe pull a The First Purge (2018 R)?

Oh man, you've missed some wild rides.  Rest assured, it all falls under the JoeBoy axiom:

What was that saying I had? … Oh yeah! *WORST OPTION*

[Potato]

Hell, even though Hecht makes it sound like Israel-Palestine is a new thing the staff has been swamped with, they've had a specific section about it on their rules for five years that rules out all kinds of discussion points:

Israel and Palestine

Threads about the Israel/Palestine conflict are some of the most contentious and difficult to moderate. While we have tried being more hands off in the past, these threads have tended to escalate out of control when they are not tightly moderated. As a result, we now enforce four primary rules to keep these threads as civil as possible.

• Do not conflate civilians with their leadership: This means you should not conflate all Palestinians with Hamas or attempt to paint all Palestinians as terrorists. You should also not hold all Israelis responsible for the actions of their government.
  
• Do not condone violence or killing: This goes for both Hamas and the IDF, especially with regard to civilians.
  
• Do not deny the right of either Israel or Palestine to exist as independent states.
  
• Due to historical considerations, the term "Nazi" is not appropriate or acceptable when used in reference to Israel, Israelis, and Jews. This includes comparisons between the Israeli government/IDF and Nazi Germany. You are welcome to criticize Israel in all other ways, but that specific analogy is off-limits, period.

Wow, you'd have assumed given this is one of the few specificities in rules and guidelines they actually fucking wrote down it would be easier for the 3+ mods that sign off every action to remember how to do their fucking job.

So when an era mod reads this, time to go delete one of your few publicly visible behaviour guidelines because it makes you look bad!

Well, you see, that was before internet celebrities posted 3 hour screeds video essays which explained how everyone "on the right side of history" should feel about an issue they only learned of 7 months ago.

Or demod Nepenthe, ban the trans lunatics, delete the burka brigade thread and allow people to disagree on things...

Have there been any Highlights since announcing the new feature?

I think only that Godzilla one?

In more positive news CBC says it has no plan for how to handle a loss of federal funding when the Conservatives take power. They currently receive $1.3 billion in taxpayer money annually only to spread propaganda and racism and muzzle Palestinian voices. I hope to be hearing less and less from them after the election.

This is like trans RE celebrating when the BBC gets their funding cut. What do they think is going to happen? It's not going to be replaced with Pinknews I can you tell that much

[Vertigo]

Lol at that likes threads its been a treat seeing B dumbs spin 

Just say you don't want an easy likes system as the 'wrong' posts would get a lot of likes and the forum mafia can't have that.

We already know the kind of posts the mod team will be highlighting.

Uncle might be working on a comprehensive post, but the short version is B-Duds genocided PoliEra to protect Nepenthe's antisemitism.

[Hap Shaughnessy]

What is puppybrained? Do I even want to know?

Almost sounds like "hormonal and silly like a woman".

[PogiJones]

What B-dubs won't say out loud is that he runs things based on his paranoia. He's so scared of secret chuds getting to push the like button that to avoid it he will screw over everyone else. In his mind, every non-mod, non-protected-member is a Potential Chud. He doesn't respect you or want your voice heard, because he's scared of you. He will only give likes to his Trusted Few, and he grows more and more paranoid, only trusting those closest to him, just like every mad dictator in history, becoming more and more distrustful and isolated every day. That's why he's looking into the night sky to deal with his dark thoughts or whatever.

Meanwhile, Twohearts is still prancing around in there

Thread keeps delivering -

Fuck em, you can do better.

I had a boss that hated me and wanted me gone.

He was old, I was young and I went the extra mile to study and get certifications after work hours.

He definitely felt threatened by me and did not want me around.

For 5 years he held me back, made me do the most menial work and prevented me from doing anything that would give me experience or help me develop or do anything of note.

He would do everything he could to make sure all work goes through him and that nothing happens when he isn't around, then he would take a vacation just to prove I can't do the job.

I would know this was intentional because shortly after I was assigned to him he would start crying whenever I show up.

I gave him 3 years of a benefit of a doubt before escalating but even after that his manager was covering for him.

Eventually after the 4 years mark I took the nuclear option and raised it to the heads of the division with a very spicy email.

Next call from my boss had him crying again, he would set a retirement date in 6 months.

The end result is that I deteriorated my reputation with all my coworkers through out the whole ordeal, I'll be honest some of it was my fault because even after he was retiring I went full spite mode on the manager that was covering for him and was disobedient, but my reputation was already in the mud because of that shitty boss.

After that I knew there was no future there, but the place was miserable from day one so who cares.

I don't need their approval, I don't need my boss to acknowledge me, I don't need the company to appreciate me.

I know I can do great things, I know I've got amazing ideas, I know I've got what it takes to make it happen.

If no one can see that but me, fine I didn't need them to.

I left the company, learned coding and am now working on making my personal dream game.

All of this to say fuck the company, leave it.

You don't need to stay in a place you are not appreciated, if they don't appreciate you they don't deserve you.

You should know your own worth and make everyone else regret how they could not see it.

So this guy stayed 9 years as a low level staffer and thinks he is great? 🤣🤣🤣

[Besticus Maximus]

I had great ideas and I know it. For example, I put the Big Mac sauce under the cheese and the customers all loved it but mr know it all said we all had to stick to the order of construction on the sticker next to the grill

[FEUER FREI.]

i think the bire aka well known hate forum also gained quite a bit of new users from reeeee who woke up, combined with reeee being even more reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee than usual past months, has exploded engagement on our hateful corner of the internet

i imagine when the americans have their election later this year we will see record numbers across the board because of the insanity that will take place on that forum

The rest of the internet is completely controlled by corrupt algorithms that deliberately manipulate people into becoming chuds by giving them their harmful revealed preferences in order to spur a global united fascist movement to exterminate everyone who is not white, cis, straight and non-puppybrained yet you're all sitting here just wanting to put the staff more in danger rather than demand some basic human decency.

[benji]

You just don't understand what us staff have to deal with as a part of our thankless task to keep everything from spinning out of control. And no, we can't explain it to you because you wouldn't understand.

Everybody’s worked with some golf club cunt they couldn’t stand, but part of growing up and being an adult is learning how to navigate around the nutters. What sets them off. What subjects to avoid. I once had a boss who was generally alright but he was proper sectarian. When he interviewed me he asked if I was Rangers or Celtic, which was well out of order and the cunt knew it. I told him I was Hibs which satisfied him. If I’d said Hearts he would have thanked me for my time and that would’ve been that. Like everyone else I learned just to nod along to his shite then laugh at the sad auld cunt when he fucked off back to his cabin.
