BudLight was pandering and got called on it by everyone that was paying attention. “Go woke, go broke” is clearly not a trend, just look at Twitter and Elon doing the opposite and losing fuckloads of money.
When I was in my my twenties, a few months into my first full time career job, I felt like I could splurge a little to celebrate. The problem was my credit card was stuck at “college student” limits, basically useless, and my salary was still going toward the basics of setting up my independent life.
My attempt to raise my credit limit was rejected, my attempt at a personal loan was rejected. Maybe they would have anyway, maybe I just needed to wait more, but I regret answering “buy a nice stereo”. It does sound like the epitome of careless spending to buy electronic gadgets beyond your immediate means. Even back then, your answer mattered.
The reason I’m convinced it mattered was replaying my conversation with my credit union in my head years later: it surely seemed like she was politely trying to get me to give a different answer.
Your boss should have asked you to try and reschedule your jury duty if he needed you that badl for an event. I got summoned, called them up in advance and explained my work load slows down on the summer and could I come in then? They postponed it no problem
No, but I’m an aerospace engineer who (at the time, or close to it) worked for NASA with a master’s degree in structures. A lawyer I know suggested that is that they prefer less educated people on the juries. Could be we’re difficult to sway, could be we’re just a pain in the ass.
I used to moderate /r/Erie, I realize modding a local city subreddit is a bit different than this, but hey, at least I’ve got experience tard-wrangling a large-ish community.
What a nightmare this whole thing is turning out to be. I mean, imagine being the CEO right now. You want to seem strong, you don't want to back down, but every day the chaos seems to get crazier.
Blocking a community for a protest is irresponsible and undemocratic.
NSFWification
Using a feature that is explicitly baked into the platform is irresponsible and will harm people who chose to click/tap on NSFW content clearly marked as such, and probably voted for to appear in the subreddit children.
