  • Democrats don’t get why they’ve lost most working class voters

  • That’s the unironically saddest thing in life.

  • I used to think that but have come to the conclusion in recent years that people act the way they do because their lives are genuinely terrible and there is no possibility of them becoming better because there is nowhere for them to go. For those with great motivation, great intelligence, or great connections, there are plenty of things to do. For the average person brought up in and living in an average way, though, there is nothing but generational pain.

    Sadly, most people don't have enough imagination to consider how things could be better for them or everyone.

  • People who have worked in customer service: Did you ever get hit with a "Do you know who I am!?" Did you in fact know who they were?

  • I'd never have called him doctor even after that. Let him give you free rent in his giant-egoed brain.

  • It wasn't even bad service. We sold watches. It was the sort of "I will help you as soon as I am done with this customer" thing.

  • I work for a university. Everyone around me has a PhD. I am also earning my own doctorate. NOBODY uses the term "Doctor" except when someone passes their defense and their committee chair gets to be the first person to call them that. I know several university deans and provosts, and I call them by first name. My physician is also faculty. First name. This guy was an idiot.

  • I had a colleague say something like "we are bit short staffed so thanks for being patient" which just pissed up this entitled woman who then started spouting about how she worked in HR and she wanted to know who the manager's name was. Just going on and on and eventually I just yelled out who the name of the manager was, which somehow short circuited the diatribe. Somehow she was one of those people who could become offended by a genuine "thanks for the patience".

  • That's why you should never go near a business that does the VIP treatment. They will mistreat people over political nonsense.

  • They beat me to it haha! People into jazz, classical, world music, progressive metal, etc would certainly rate things vastly differently from people who listen to pop music alone. These studies only target the averagest of persons.

  • Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.

  • They did the survey repeatedly over 11 years and the line shows the average across all years.

  • White House proposes new rules giving political appointees final say on research grants

    Jump

  • They’re also fine. The US has been abusing the world for decades. It will become a better place after some collapse.

  • It won't survive the courts, just like so much of what Trump tries to do. Congress is who delegates authority and the executive can't just create more for itself.

  • US Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump's $1.8 Billion 'Weaponization' Fund

    Jump

  • Because the judge has not formally determined that it is illegal. They have only found that there is a high probability that it is and that allowing it to continue will cause damage. These proceedings have to occur carefully lest an appeals court overturn based on a technicality alone.

  • The largest study of AI use by undergrads is in, revealing disparities in access — and in cheating

    Jump

  • Yes but not in high-end business circles. Those are reserved for people born with an appropriate pedigree and are not based on merit.

  • US planning to halt immigration at 'sanctuary city' airports

    Jump

  • I guess this is a backdoor way to shut off immigration as a whole.

  • The Miller Doctrine | Stephen Miller is in large part dictating U.S. foreign policy, with a mindset of unilateral violence on a maximum scale.

  • Notable that he had a debate in high school on how it shouldn't be the responsibility of students to clean up their trays in the cafeteria. He argued that the school should hire people to clean up after them. He has always been like this.

  • It’s bet difficult to change. No need to exist in eternal pessimism.
