It’s a little silly to look at a whole nearly 10 years and not recognize culture has changed significantly, but here’s an example considering the other reply failed to produce one:

Merely 1 year before, the internet was roiled by absolute massive drama that was basically masterminded by proto-incels upset that women were in the video game industry. They were extremely successful in framing a jilted ex’s story as somehow a question of ethics. It was not only impressive how seriously they were taken, but some aspects were just unquestioned as just “how the internet was” like making depictions of these public figures being beaten to a bloody pulp, when nowadays the kids have been having to make euphemisms for implying someone dying in any way to get around censors. It even spilled over into 2015, which is why I can even use it as an example for that year.

In comparison, Gamergate 2 happened a few weeks ago. Its likely not many people here will even realize that even happened, and those that do recognize it was a whimpering yelp at best compared to the OG.

So, while there’s no green, I think it’d be interesting to consider what’s going on in the yellow places. Its likely those areas are close to parity even if male suicide is (marginally?) higher.

Particularly India and China.

Edit: just India, China is on the higher end after looking into the actual numbers. Also, Grenada should show up as green on this map, but the creator chose to not include it. Admittedly, it wasn’t the only lesser Antilles island that was nixed so I’m not going to immediately call bias.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure most of the money Trump fundraised was from “new converts” of people that never voted until Trump entered politics. And those people are probably tapped out now or disillusioned

The Republican party has long been funded by big donors for so long that the individual member has a deep distrust in individual donations. At the very least, I know my parents are in that boat: they think it’s a scam.

That’s the thing, neither? I get approved a certain amount of hours and it’s always 40 a week.

I’m going to keep an eye out in the market with these replies. I think I’m still ok if it’s just the possibility of reduced hours because I’m not entirely sure if that’s likely the case. I didn’t mention it in OP, but we already had an “approved” amount of hours to work regardless based on contracts. We also have timesheets regardless due to auditing requirements.

But it probably doesn’t hurt to be cautious.

I was possibly thinking this too? The email that announced itself mentions “the timing of this change–DATE–will be aligned to the implementation of EMPLOYER’S new payroll cadence and provider”. Also something about manual transactions being unsustainable under the company size.

I’d assume you meant just the 40 hours right? As far as I can tell I could still get overtime since it’s non-exempt either way.

In my opinion, considering Tiktok’s algo they had the best circumstance to notify a mix of their users more aligned with the actual electorate. The fact they ended up with the worst representation of their user base when it came to confirming the suspicions of politicians says everything.

From what I read, the calls actually evaporated opposition to the bill.

Which, I’m NGL, if you’re worried about an app being used by a foreign adversary to encourage anti-social behavior in your youth, a bunch of people calling in acting like drug addicts getting their drugs taken away is only going to erase doubts.

It doesn’t help that they’d even be more justified when it’s known that it was caused by users getting pushed notified by Tik Tok to do it.
