@Noahpinion Yeah, but it’s just not worth it for businesses to allow that kind of thing. Lots of people form happy relationships, but lots of women end up getting harassed and filing complaints. Also, a lot of office romances break up, leading to distractions and unprofessional behaviour
@foolmealex@AdamasNemesis Sanitised and this made it harder to be having flirtatious interactions as this was no longer acceptable, since it’s not professional behaviour
@foolmealex@AdamasNemesis I don’t think that’s it. I think people used to meet in the office a lot, but that also led to a lot of men treating the office as a place to pick up women, which led to a lot of harassment and so companies started to discourage it
Also, corporate culture made offices overly 1/2
@sleepy_devo These people are pretty extreme left though. I’m a liberal, I’m not a lefty, but your average left winger in real life would think the average Twitter tankie was fucking nuts
@MedievalScholar Henry II, reformed the English legal system from trial by ordeal (e.g. hold a hot coal and ask god for the strength not to drop it to prove innocence) to a proper system of trial by jury, which was pretty impressive
@Edvane67@MedievalScholar He married Elizabeth of York, uniting the two houses, which was a fairly advantageous marriage, given he’d just bested them and didn’t want them rising up again
@WadeTPaton Why do polish people hate communism and think that was an awful time? Did they forget how lovely it was ?
Living standard in the communist countries were DRASTICALLY behind the west. Poland is dramatically richer and better off than it was then
@Dalran_AQ3D@MarcusCVance If I have a choice between being burned alive, shot in the knee or have my balls smashed with a hammer, obviously I’d choose shot in the knee. That doesn’t make being shot in the knee good
@MarcusCVance 3 main reasons :
- people who just want simple goodies vs baddies narratives
- people who want to imagine themselves as a space marine, inquisitor or whatever and not feel like they’re a genocidal religious maniac
- far right/trad con types who actually like the imperium
@sharpeleven@PrivateEyeNews@TheGreenParty “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is a metropolitan elite, Westminster bubble, sneerer. I don’t even need to engage with any of their criticisms”
Every Reform/Green supporter ever
@SputzeeD@DreamLeaf5 It’s more that we’ve only started needing it consistently since climate change started giving us warm summers (for us) more consistently and even then, only for about 9 weeks
@KristopherPrime@DreamLeaf5@Glittergreed Who hates kids or families? Seriously you guys are fighting a cartoon villain who doesn’t exist, but who you believe in as a result of constant straw manning by people you listen to
Pretty sure this is the entire problem with online discourse
@DreamLeaf5 Because they believe that “leftists” think women shouldn’t have children and white peopoe are evil, so they think, liberals and leftists would hate white kids or traditional families
This is genuinely one of the main reasons they go so crazy - they’re fighting a cartoon
@nonregemesse There’s this weird thing on the modern American right where they have to perform being a big macho manly man, which to everyone else just looks like insecurity
@Streettough He didn’t convince himself. The richest man in the world spent huge amounts of money buying this site, so he could pump non stop propaganda into people’s feeds and that’s just one source of this nonsense
They even manage to convince people here that London is a warzone
