Legalist authorization bureaucracies will hinge the draconian punishment for failing to hang a sign on the dye used to color fabric.

toxicbubble, in [REPOST] Woman says she started wearing ‘terrible wigs’ after work banned her pink hair

dress codes have always been rooted in racism & sexism. there’s absolutely no reason a job should control your hair unless it disrupts business, not for “offending conservatives”

totallynotarobot, in [REPOST] A Manager Has To Dismiss Me? OK, I'll Just Get Overtime For Doing Nothing Then

2 hours of overtime is $30? OP needs a union.

BearJCC,

Thats $8/hr even. Pretty standard for retail jobs where I live.

totallynotarobot,

Cost of living where I am is around $38-40 so I’m all out of whack with this, sorry. But on most contracts our first 2hrs of OT would be 1.5x, whereas you’re somehwere around 1.85x? So that’s neat.

Blamemeta,

Most places don’t have skyhigh col.

totallynotarobot,

My midlife crisis just got a little worse.

There are places where it would literally cost me 80% less to live. I’m stuck for work reasons but damn.

SpacetimeMachine,

But most people don’t live in most places.

Blamemeta,

Then thats self inflicted.

magnusrufus,

How do you figure?

Blamemeta,

You choose to live in high col places, expecting to live cheaply.

magnusrufus,

And what about the people who don’t chose that but still end up living there?

BearJCC,

The city where I live has a higher col then the surrounding rural areas. Our living wage is $15.34 and poverty wage is $6.35 I don’t have a report for the surrounding areas but my gut says somewhere around $10/$5.

In the US you have to get paid 1.5x for hours over 40. $30/2.5/1.5 = $8. And thats assuming no paycheck deductions such as tax, healthcare, alimony, etc

LanternEverywhere,

Yup, always CYA - Cover Your Ass.

Personally i would've also gotten him on audio recording saying it, and then emailed that audio recording to myself through gmail to prove the time stamp of it was before you did the action. Also it would be good to take a picture of the work log and gmail it to yourself too. When records like work logs and corporate emails are in the hands of the company, they sometimes "disappear" when it would prove them wrong and you right.

xantoxis, in [REPOST] Woman says she started wearing ‘terrible wigs’ after work banned her pink hair

“They think this is better?”

Yes, they actually do. They’re probably conservative dickheads. They know that pink hair is code for “I am a tolerant and kind person; I might be gay but not necessarily; I support counterculture ideas.”

They hate the counterculture ideas. They don’t hate the color pink. Covering it up with a terrible wig makes it about something else.

Or anyway, so they think. What they’ve actually done is given her an opportunity to start conversations about the pink hair.

some_guy,

What they’ve actually done is given her an opportunity to start conversations about the pink hair.

Keen insight. I wouldn’t have known she exists otherwise.

JohnnyEnzyme,

They’re probably conservative dickheads.

Hah! It doesn’t even take that. All you need is a middle-management who doesn’t support the rights of their workforce, is inconvenienced should a customer gin up complaints about OP’s hair-color (whatever it is), and is generally just lazy and indifferent, learning from upper mgmt that growth & profits are 99% the things that count, followed by limiting liability situations. The workers themselves are just an inconvenient expense in the equation.

I personally think the best "maliciouscompliance" act mods can do in the long term is to switch up all the subs.

So technology will be used for gardening, gardening will be used for android, android will be used for coffee, coffee used for pcgaming, etc. It'll make everything really confusing for new users and help slow their growth.

No this all seems too clever by half and is just putting more eyes on Reddit. People are drawn to drama. If mods were serious, they’d delete or pull all of their custom plug ins and delete their accounts. Let Reddit have the subs. Unfortunately a huge number of mods won’t actually endanger their positions, which means Reddit corporate has the ultimate leverage in the end. Just go. I respect the mods who have left. If more of them did it would leave a true void.

Image being Reddit corporate and waking up tomorrow and 5000 subreddits were open but all the mods and their mods tools were gone. No big dramatic pranks or drama from the mods, just a classy exit.

aceshigh,
@aceshigh@lemmy.world avatar

i agree. this is kind of a temper tantrum coming from the mods that will result in more eyes on reddit... the only way to win, is to not play.

girthero,

How about sexy John Oliver promoting Lemmy? Make reddit delete the post instead of the mods.

AFKBRBChocolate,

The problem with that is, someone else who doesn't care about the issues would take over as mod, and the sub would go on more of less normally. This way, it will eventually kill the sub without trying to delete it or take it private (both things Reddit can undo).

ilovefluffyanimals,

Only if it shows John Oliver looking sexy while marrying a cabbage :-)

Is this real?! What episode is it from!

yoichi,

It's edited

LambdaDuck,

no, it's actually not edited. that exact frame appears at 23:03 in the episode on coal from june 2017: https://youtu.be/aw6RsUhw1Q8?t=1443

delfinom,

"Bob" was replaced with "Spez"

Yes it was edited. But the base image is real. It also resulted in a lawsuit.

Aaron_Davis,

Where they SLAPPED each other.

LambdaDuck,

oh, i don’t notice that, thanks!

LambdaDuck,

yes, it's real. it's from the episode on coal from june 2017: https://youtu.be/aw6RsUhw1Q8?t=1443

minimar,

Ah, probably my favourite episode! I've never been a big fan of john oliver purely because I find him aggressively unfunny, but showing everyone the ridiculous cease and desist letter with "Let us neither cease, nor desist" is amazing.

joshuaacasey, in Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
@joshuaacasey@lemmy.world avatar

to be fair, it was always legal to discriminate against trump supporters since political views are not a “protected class”

EcchiSukecchi,

Trump support is a practically a cult.

CeruleanRuin,
@CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one avatar

It is also definitely religious-based.

damnYouSun,

Wouldn’t supplying Trump come under religious belief.

It was a legitimate protest of a stupid law that uses a legacy of inconsistent thought and limited perception to do an end run around the first amendment, but the text of the law requires a poster per building, so if they have enough in English, there would be no "need" to accept or post them. Now, if a principal or administrator had some balls, I certainly don't see why they couldn't use one of these or to flank the posters they do post with lots of context or more diverse ideas.

You don’t become a public school middle manager in Texas by showing balls. You’d get weeded out before you even got through the substitute program for teaching gym class.

eggvng, in Trans men enter Miss Italy contest to protest anti-trans ‘women from birth’ rule

Elia Bonci, who also spoke to la Repubblica, said: “I took courage, used my deadname and signed up for Miss Italy because fighting transphobia is intersectional and even though I’m not a trans woman, I’ve decided to fight for their rights.”

much respect to all that followed!

fugepe,

a dead name

mental illness is strong on these fellas

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I went to high school with a Ruth. She decided to change her name to Elizabeth when she went to college. She still goes by Elizabeth. Is she mentally ill because she doesn’t want anyone to call her Ruth?

pythonoob,

I’m confused. If they are using a dead name how are they not trans?

AmbleHamble,

Think the others were missing the point - they are trans men. Their dead name is their dead female name.

The ruling was to prevent trans women from competing, so while they can’t stand for trans women, they’ll stand for all trans.

maynarkh,

They are trans men, who the organizers consider women as opposed to the trans women who can’t compete because they consider them men.

Imgonnatrythis,

I’m gonna need a pen and paper for this one.

SuddenDownpour,

We need a powerpoint explaining the 5D transphobia.

Jeanschyso,

So like, according to the organizers, if they were born with a penis, it doesn’t matter if they transitioned, they are considered men.

This trans man (a person born with a vagina who transitioned ) is entering the contest, because if trans women are considered men, trans men are considered women.

So this dude is entering a “female” beauty contest to show how dumb the rules are. He is allowed to do so because said dumb rules make him a woman in the eyes of the organization.

peipei1,

I’ll summarize:

  • The contest organizers don’t accept trans women (AKA assigned male at birth, transitioned to female)
  • This means that they are being transphobic, they aren’t treating trans women as women.
  • The person in the article is the opposite, assigned female at birth and transitioned to male. AKA a trans man.
  • This person is considered a woman by the beauty contest despite identifying as male.
  • He entered the beauty contest as a form of protest and to bring attention to the blatant transphobia.
Lorium_O,

“Transphobia” idk I just think they don’t want certain ideologies in their shows. Makes sense to me but you guys will probably start spamming slurs at me if I keep speaking so…

Edit: I agree the rules are dumb and contradictory but calling it transphobia is just hilarious to me

Imotali,
@Imotali@lemmy.world avatar

“We exist” isn’t an ideology.

Lorium_O,

Fair but I just thought calling it transphobia was over the top

supakaity, (edited )
@supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You are actually a little bit correct.

Most uses of the misnomer “transphobia” are actually incorrect, because the people involved aren’t actually suffering from an irrational medical or psychological fear of transgender people.

What they actually are doing is more accurately called “transmisia”, because they are transmisic. This means they are heavily prejudiced against transgender women and believe that they shouldn’t be involved in the competitions.

Their reason for this are not because the transgender women don’t meet the beauty standards, or aren’t passing the judging categories, but because they just don’t want them there purely due to their trans-mysogynistic preconceptions.

abraxas,

You are actually a little bit incorrect.

In the vein of words like homophobia, these words’ definitions are not strictly in line with their etymology. Per every dictionary (but quoting Webster), transphobia is defined as:

irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against transgender people

And this might create some linguistic ambiguity, but I cannot seem to find actual documentation on a medical or psychological fear of transgender people at all. It seems this behavior is entirely (or almost entirely) a learned bigotry.

The other word, “transmisia”, has not really been officially adopted in any circle I can find. The only place I could find it with any prominance is a site called the “Trans Language Primer”, and I know nothing about it (except that it looks like geocities) so I won’t be linking it directly. Suffice to say, they speak negatively of the term (despite defending it as having a good intention) and favor “transphobia” for reasons of clarity.

rustyfish, in /r/PICS moderators receive /u/ModCodeofConduct message accusing them of breaking site rules by switching to NSFW; mods can't reply, so post public response instead
@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

We understand that you are likely very busy, so we will wait until Friday, July 7th before taking any additional steps.

Dear Admins,

these are our balls. Please direct your attention at how enormous they are.

Edit: I wonder what will happen next. Maybe only screenshots of the open letter are allowed.

Kinglink, in Here's all the source code

Legally they had been served, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Somehow I doubt this.

Maybe it’s true but legally I know in California you are required to do your briefs in 12 point font. While that’s briefs, I would imagine evidence would be under the same banner. It definitely WOULD be illegal to do it in 1 pt font or intentionally making it unreadable. I would imagine if the other side wanted to make it an issue they could back to the judge and he’s probably have it out with you.

Maybe the lawyers wisely replaced your malicious compliance with correct sized print with out telling you, maybe the other side didn’t care.

ExtremeDullard,
@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This was in Utah. I’m no lawyer. Maybe it wasn’t legal. What’s what our lawyer said he did.

FeliXTV27,

I don’t think the font size matters too much in this, it’s just the printing the whole source code, including a lot of not directly relevant things, and sending all of that over in a few boxes instead of sharing the project files with them that is very malicious.

rumckle,

It’s also very common in legal cases to share evidence printed out, instead of in digitally, to make sure it isn’t easy for the other side.

Decoy321, in The coupons have been applied, as requested

This is a perfect example for this community.

Earthwormjim91,

If you believe that there was any conversation like this at all, and it isn’t just some production line that places coupons at the same place on every box.

LukeMedia,

Pretty sure it’s a joke about the placement, not a serious assessment

Earthwormjim91,

The community is “malicious compliance”. It would only be a perfect fit for here if it were actually malicious compliance and not just a funny coincidence.

LukeMedia,

Whether real or not, it is a joke about malicious compliance creating this funny placement. It could very well be real malicious compliance. That’s a very fitting place for this meme

DragonTypeWyvern,

Eh, that’s a weird place for this kind of sticker, I’m sure it was deliberate.

It just wouldn’t have needed a specific interaction to happen.

FReddit, in That time I followed my employment contract to the letter

I really like the part about thanking your previous manager.

glad_cat,

I didn’t want him to win by showing my anger.

FReddit,

Outstanding!

raltoid, in Reddit: open /r/pics or else. Mods: OK but you didn't say how

Update on the vote results, for people who don't want to go there:

  • Pro John Oliver: 61.7k
  • Return to normal: -13.7k.
NotYourSocialWorker,

I like the malicious compliance but I find that to be a bad way to do a poll. Better would have been one comment with the text "Upvote if you want John Oliver pics, downvote if you want it to go back to normal".

The way they did it if one group only upvote their alternative and the other also downvotes the opponent then the result isn't representative. Or at least could be claimed not to be.

lich_hegemon,

Let's assume that everyone who upvoted their option also downvoted the alternative.

The group A, has |A| number of individuals. Group B has |B| number.

Option A: |A| - |B|
Option B: |B| - |A|

Option A = |A| - |B| 
         = -(-(|A| - |B|))
         = -(|B| - |A|)
         = -Option B

The results would be opposites of each other and would highlight the opinion of the majority anyway.

cloudwalk,

r/theydidthema-- oh.

Right.

ramennoodle, (edited )

you can't both upvote and downvote the same item. the last option you selected is the only one that's counted at any given moment.

edit: wait, i see. if they're separate comments, you could just upvote the comment you like and downvote the comment you don't. i was assuming one comment that said upvote or downvote.

solarvector,

It would exacerbate the swing but wouldn't change the result

And I don't think maliciously compliant mod is interested in statistical representation.

NotYourSocialWorker,

I agree with you, it would legitimate the results though. Not that I believe that Reddit cares about that either.
