Hi! I'm still alive. The PTSD is a little rough. Working on some new stuff. If you haven't heard from me since 2019? Life became a shit show and we are working through it. If you did hear from me and I fell off the radar: I love you. Let's chat.
@BbbbbbB21003954@ShannonMcG716@RonFilipkowski He’s not a child anymore and his direct benefit and reprehensible current view on how employees should be treated shows that the power system he learned in informs his choices now. He is part of the problem. He chose to continue the cycle after his agency kicked in.
@BbbbbbB21003954@ShannonMcG716@RonFilipkowski As a grown adult he has had the agency by using his inherited blood money for endeavors like PayPal, and buying out one of the original Tesla partners, and buying twitter with no knowledge of how it works bc his feelings got hurt.
@msannapanda @rebeccalehmann I missed out on so many internships because they were unpaid. Would have been great foit-in-the-door opportunities, but I was paying for everything plus family expenses bc my dad was in cancer treatment.
PAY PEOPLE FOR LABOR!!!!
@ChrisPHuey@Hello_World@juliastiglitz name calling- awesome! Also- the fact that you believe everyone on Twitter speaks solely in hyperbole shows a shocking g lack of understanding in online socio-linguistic patterns and migration. You might want to read up on online subculture and linguistic migration online.
@Hello_World@ChrisPHuey@juliastiglitz Ah, the infantilization of the person disagreeing w/ you bc they pointed out your hyperbolic statement in context w/ the thread didn’t effectively communicate your idea.
How smart of you. Do people actually understand you? Or do they agree bc you don’t respond well to criticism
@Hello_World@ChrisPHuey@juliastiglitz The onus of that is not on the reader or their level of learning. The onus is on you to communicate your point clearly.
You didn’t imply anything in your original tweet outside of the words written. There are plenty of twitter shorthands available to convey sarcasm, etc.
@Hello_World@ChrisPHuey@juliastiglitz You did make a general point. Your point in your statement was a specific phrase “everyone wants to be CEOs” in response to an article about why employees leave their jobs. There was no other inference for anyone to make. If you were trying to make another point, you failed.
@Hello_World@juliastiglitz Nothing about your reply read as sarcasm. It might have had to do with the lack of basic spelling/punctuation that caused me to take it as your actual opinion and bad take.
@Hello_World@juliastiglitz source? I'm fairly certain it's less, "everyone wants to be ceo" and more, "I'd like my increase in responsibility to be reflected in my pay and title". There's a big difference between the two.
@zachcrates @Jef_Loots @colmmacn @comradeaux And when information is controlled without free access, societal norms that we know now are wrong are considered perfectly normal. Or even things more educated people of the time knew were wrong.
@Jef_Loots @zachcrates @colmmacn @comradeaux I was 18, and here in the us we didnt get country-wide marriage equality until June 2015.
We also have to remember our access to information was different. Google is way younger than us. The internet was a different place and how we used it reflected that. I totally get it 😁
