    Don't think Ong has too much to worry about. You can't get discriminated against in a job hire if you never apply for a job.
    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.

    It will at least give me an excuse to morally judge people on Twitter for wanting to keep women's spaces for actual women.

    When complaining about poor refereeing decisions, tell the media your players need to "get raped" in order to be awarded a penalty.

    It's pretty bad if image is an important thing for a business. If you're a hedge fund manager, then maybe you don't give a shit what your subordinates say in public, but any brand that relies on some sales or support, like football, nah. Don't get me wrong, if I owned a football club and my manager said this, I wouldn't want to sack him, but I'd have to seriously consider the impact his comments would have on the image of the club. It's probably gross misconduct.

    Sure. But it's not like he's condoning rape by saying that. So while I certainly think it's a dumb thing to say given how sensitive everyone is these days and how quick the snowflake patrol is ready to jump on anything remotely offensive, I don't find it that bad myself.

    I mean yeah it's not bad in that I've said and laughed at much worse. But I wouldn't last five minutes in a high profile job like this. It's hard to apply my standard of what's acceptable to this kind of job.

    It is fun to imagine myself in a job where I have to face the media. I wonder how I'd get the sack? A spliff hanging out my mouth for the press conference should do the job.

    This is big. Uber (and by implication, other vendors of its ilk) will have to treat their employees as proper employees having proper rights, as opposed to the casual labour they're treated as now.

    IDK. Investing in children sounds a lot like welfare to me.
    If we give them free stuff just because they're children, then they'll never want to grow up and they'll remain children leeching off the system forever.

    lolz.

    Seriously, though. I love it. Teaching people how to be better scientists is excellent. People act like science is something done by weirdos in lab coats - true enough, mind - but so much more. Everyone acquires knowledge through hypothesis testing. It's less formalized, and often lacks the peer review stage, but the process is the same.

    Teaching people how to apply the process of science to all aspects of their learning is spot on.

    Better late than never, IMO.
    Uber's business model always struck me as scandalous. But that motivated me to not work for them. I don't see why these workers really have a claim that the company did them wrong, provided what the company did was spelled out in the employment agreement.


    On the other hand... people are dumb, and easily taken advantage of, but that doesn't mean it's morally right to take advantage of people. Messing with a retarded person is clearly a dick move. I don't see why we lose that sensibility when it comes to intelligent (clever? savvy?) businesses taking advantage of their less intelligent (or informed) workers.

    IDK where to draw the line, but I am in favor of workers' rights. Otherwise, anyone out of work looking for a job to feed their family is compelled to take any substandard job - their bargaining power at the contract table is diminished by their desperate situation. That can be abused, and where the line of abuse is drawn is not clear to me, and probably will always be fuzzy.

    What started the Uber court case was that one of their drivers was assaulted by a passenger and seriously hurt. He asked Uber to cooperate with the police by sending them the address of the passenger. Uber basically told him 'not our problem, gfy' and that's when he took them to court.

    So overall, yes people are stupid to work for them, but they also kind of asked for this.

    My housemate is a taxi driver. He would rather claim unemployment benefits than work for Uber. He currently works for a local taxi firm that pays him a salary, so if he's sat on the rank doing nothing, he gets paid, and if he's busy all day, he gets paid the same amount and the firm make more money. That's how he wants to work... a reliable and predictable income with holiday pay, sick pay and set hours.

    I won't use Uber. I'll always find a local taxi company instead.

    I've done some gig app work, and while I do appreciate the ability to quickly hop in and earn money on a flexible schedule with no commitment, in actuality, at scale, that's not how it works.

    For example, almost all of these gig apps utilize bonuses as part of your pay to nudge you to work at certain times. Of course some people will only work when they want, but at scale it's obvious that these companies are in fact setting the schedule of their workers.

    It sorta becomes a discussion of free will. If these powerful corporations can predictably coerce the vast majority of their "independent contractor" work force in a way that allows they to exert the same or similar controls that one would have over employees, does it really matter that there are exceptions to the rule?
  34. #29059
    The companies like Uber were basically saying "you work for us, but you don't have the rights of someone who legally works for us". If my employer ever took this attitude I would want protection too.

    More generally, we need to get away from the current situation where the employers have all the rights and no obligations and the workers are open to exploitation. This ruling by the UK SC is a step towards a better society. Only plutocrats gain when the law favours exploitation of workers. Fuck that.

    I've got this girl who works at a local bank doing mortgages, car loans, insurance and that kind of thing.

    This white dude comes in the other day who has "WHATEVER" tattooed across his knuckles. WHAT on one hand and EVER on the other.

    She had seen him before a while back, but he had moved to the other end of the state for a few years and moved back. This was her first time helping him with anything.

    This is a real southern girl who isn't about the white trash shit, so when she saw his WHATEVER across his hands, she was like what the fuck but didn't say anything.

    Come to find out, the reason the dude got that tattooed on his hands is that HE FUCKING CHANGED HIS LEGAL FIRST NAME TO WHATEVER.

    Man I'm good. I've been pandemic pimpin and eating a whole lot of chicken in the car this past year. Watched a lot of live streams of the riots this summer and that kind of thing. Last season ended with the stuff going down in Washington DC, so I'm waiting for the new season to kick off when the Republican party splits and all hell breaks loose. It's about to go down.



    Other than that, I've just been getting some work done and keeping everything running smoothly at spoony manor.

    If you're going to change your name to "Whatever", change your surname to it, and have Trevor as your first name.

    Then again it's been done. Fun fact - I've had a piss next to Treva Whateva.

    He didn't change his last name, but I don't want to say it here since she wasn't really supposed to tell me the story. It was something really mundane like Jackson or Smitherman though.

    For at least a year, I think longer, there's a user by the name of "casinobonus" who often lurks logged in. He's online right now. If you click his profile, he has zero posts, and his current activity always says he's creating a new post in the blogs forum.

    How fucking long can it take to post a blog?

    It could be a bot that's scraping (copy/pasting) bonus codes or something that logs in through a page for creating a post to get around some kind of filter potentially. That's the only thought I have there.

    I remember that seemed like a fun, if unimportant, novelty way back whenever, then recently you and your bot army hobby popped into my head and I thought, "man, I bet spoon is bot rich."

    If you're talking about the stuff I was doing to automate and build social media accounts, yes. I go about it differently, but it's harder these days because the anti-spam stuff is so out of control.

    With that said, there are ways you can go about it without even needing to do any kind of programming and that sort of thing. Here's a quick overview for anyone who wants to play with it:


    1. Pick an industry/focus and make a new Twitter account. Maybe you want an account that focuses on celebrity feet for example.
    2. For the first week, manually post 3-5 times daily. Find other celebrity feet accounts and start following the people who follow those. Follow 10-15 people daily for the first week from those accounts.
    3. For the second week, manually post 8-10 times daily. Follow 25-30 people daily from the same celebrity feet accounts.
    4. On the third week, make a verified Reddit account. You don't need to do anything with it in terms of posting on Reddit. Also make an IFTTT (If This Then That) account. Link your Twitter and Reddit to IFTTT. IFTTT is a free cloud-based automation platform.
    5. Find a sub-reddit that centers around celebrity feet. Set IFTTT to automatically post Tweets of the "Hot" images on that sub-reddit.
    6. You can customize the content of the tweet itself aside from the images. Something like (Title of Reddit Post) (10 relevant hashtags) is a solid option.
    7. Every other day or so, unfollow 8-10 of the people you followed in steps 3-4.


    People will automatically follow those accounts over time. You can tweet out pretty much anything related to your industry/focus that you want to send traffic to as well.

    I'm a huge believer in eugenics. I think that people who would get in an argument with a fast food worker for not giving them a straw instead of just asking for one, let alone assaulting the motherfucker, should be on that list of people we just go ahead and take out of the gene pool.

    I just won a game of bulldog chess I've been playing for nearly a year against a very good player to become the World Champion at this variant. That title is obviously grandiose, there are under 100 people who play this variant so it's not like it actually means anything relevant, but I'm still delighted. It's not like I'll become World Champion at anything else in my life.

    Bulldog chess is played on a 10x8 board with novelty pieces. The game in question uses a witch and guard. The witch is not an easy piece to explain, but the guard is the same as a king except it can be captured.

    Here's the final position...



    That's the guard on b2 delivering checkmate.

    Actually I'm also the current WC at Chess On An Infinite Plane, another variant with novelty pieces and an infinite sized board, but there's like ten of us who play that variant, so that's even more of a ludicrous title.

    Well that's cool.

    Back like 15 years ago, I was the world number one at "Wild 5" on ICC/FICS. It's basically the pieces start on the opposite end of the board, so pawns are all one square away from promoting.
  52. #29077
    That sounds crazy. How many queens can you have in one game? I don't think I'd be very good at that to be honest.

    The witch is a really great piece. It make friendly adjacent pieces "transparent", so you can attack the enemy through your own pieces while still enjoying the protection those pieces offer. It moves like a knight+queen, so highly mobile. It doesn't capture though so it's not very useful in endgame, other than to block pawns or waste a tempo, which in some endgames (like K+R vs K+W) will result in a draw rather than loss.

    That sounds very interesting. I don't think I've ever heard about that extra piece, but I also haven't been around chess much for like a decade at the least.

    In other news, there was an accident outside my house this morning. Some guy managed to overturn his van while taking out a section of our hedge, the compost heap, and the pear tree. My friend, the homeowner, not happy at all. At least he missed the chickens. He had to be freed from his van, apparently he's ok but I suspect he's in a lot of trouble based on what was allegedly found in his van. I can't go into detail there because he has a right to a fair trial and this is a public forum but let's just say my eyes needed to be put back into my head.

    In a completely unrelated subject, I like cocaine.

    Wut? You think one of us and/or one of the bots who lurks around here secretly lives in Shropshire and might be selected for jury duty, so you don't want to bias us?

    Just tell us what you saw. It's not like the police won't be mentioning it in court anyways.

    It doesn't matter if only four people read it. It's a public forum. You're an intelligent guy, you don't need it spelled out.

    Ok whatever. I'll just read about it on the news then. OK if I post a link to the story here or has your imaginary lawyer told you it's better not to talk about it...oh wait.

    You're so confrontational, even on subjects that need not be confrontational. I get it with politics, it's naturally divisive and emotional, but crypto and this? Are you ok? This isn't healthy poop. What is your problem?

    You post "I saw something amazing but I can't talk about it" and you expect people not to be curious?

    Look, if you helped yourself to a kilo of Tony Montana the Van Driva's stash while he was upside down unconscious in the wreckage, then you probably shouldn't have brought it up at all. Otherwise you've got no reason to tease us like that. What's your problem?

    My problem is I can't have a conversation with you about anything without you being a twat.

    Here's a question... should I trust you? You clearly hold me in contempt. Can I be 100% sure you won't report potential contempt of court to the authorities? I don't think you'd do that, but I'm not certain. I don't know you. I also don't know who else lurks around these parts.

    I saw something white. Perhaps it was a bag of talcum powder.

    I really don't understand why you have to make a meal out of this.

    I made it obvious what I allegedly saw. Do you think anyone else here would press me to explain something in exquisite detail when I am clearly trying to tiptoe around the matter?

    I gotta agree with ong on this one.
    It was obvious in the first post what he meant.

    That's twice in recent memory you're toeing the line a bit more - assertively? - than your norm.
    You're off your game, and that's apparent. Is something going on in your personal life? Getting enough sleep and stuff?
    Not trying to pry, but it seems like you're more stressed lately.

    Anyway
    Like ong said, not everything's a battle.
    We're just talking, here.
    You can find any pattern you want to any level of precision you want, if you're prepared to ignore enough data.

    I'm just pointing out when he's talking shit imo. Sorry if you guys think it's aggressive. I'll bite my tongue from now on.

    He wasn't talking shit, though. He told a story, and chose which facts to relay directly in relation to the story and which to relay tangentially to the story. He didn't leave any facts out, like you claim. He merely separated his factual observations from his speculation. That's kinda the opposite of talking shit.

    I asked for more details and didn't accept his explanation for why he couldn't describe what he saw in a stranger's van on a public forum that has four members. That's what I was referring to as "talking shit."

    But it doesn't matter what I was perceiving, I shouldn't have challenged him on it 'cause obviously he feels like I'm picking on him when I do that. I don't want him to feel that way so I won't challenge him any more.

    poop, you've got to the point where you just want to argue with me about everything I talk about. That needs addressing. It's not healthy debate, it's not interesting conversation, it's not constructive.

    It's not even like I give a fuck. I just don't understand why you do it. Nobody else does it. Oskar doesn't, boost doesn't, and these are people who regularly tell me I'm talking shit. I don't have a problem with people challenging my opinions, calling me retarded, or whatever. I just wish you'd pick the right times to do it, and this isn't it, and neither is the crypto discussion. It just seems like you have no interest in engaging sincerely and just want to throw shit about.

    It shouldn't take mojo to back me up for you to wind your neck in. You can sometimes say "ok ong you're right".

    For clarity, contempt of court is a serious offence and people go to prison for it. It shouldn't surprise you that I would be careful what I say, even if it is highly likely only four or five people will read it.

    I assume some of your banter with oskar goes back to times I can't remember. I mean, I do remember my first year or two and we didn't get on at all. You're pretty easy to argue with, and annoyingly rational in the process.

    oskar has absolutely no respect for me, I know that, but he doesn't argue with everything I say. Maybe poop thinks he's trolling me or baiting me, but he's playing games I like really, just games I prefer to play with randoms on Twitter than with people I talk to regularly. You guys are like digital friends to me, daft as that might sound, but Twitter is the general moronic public. That's where I prefer to do my trolling. I don't mind heated debates here, but I'd prefer it if it wasn't constant, on every subject we discuss. It's getting like that with poop.

    I know one thing that's behind why oskar gets so triggered by me, but I don't want to embarrass the guy for no reason, so I don't really care to bring it up.

    Historically speaking, I've really liked trolling randoms. I still do it on Reddit when I'm on the can. My goal is to get the largest response while using the minimum amount of words and effort. It's just fun for me.

    After I got to know you more, I didn't really keep doing it as much because I actually like you.

    That's been one of his go-to lines for over a decade, just fyi. If I read any of his responses to me since I started checking out FTR again a few days ago, I'd bet he's said it to me already.

    He does with me lol. Again, I know why he does it, and I'm tempted to go back and find screenshots, but I'll leave it alone just for the sake of not stirring shit needlessly.

    He'll probably act like he doesn't know what I'm talking about, but I bet his story would change real quick if I started posting about it. MMM would delete it anyway lol.

    Aw that's nice.There were two key moments in me not disliking you... one was you successfully pissing me off to the point I had a serious word with myself about allowing internet randoms to wind me up, and I truly think it was the last time someone I didn't know upset me, and the other was the stories about Michelle, which made me realise you're not an asshole, quite the opposite.

    The oskar stuff sound intriguing but perhaps a bit too personal so I won't pry. But whatever, we've all got embarrassing moments in our past, surely?

    I quite like oskar, I find him amusing. I don't give a fuck if he thinks I'm an idiot. I don't care what anyone thinks about me, giving zero fucks is one of my finer qualities.

    It's like this. If I don't bring it up, he's probably going to be in here screeching that I should bring it up. If I do bring it up, he's going to be in here screeching that I made it up, photoshopped screenshots, conversations and pictures or whatever else.

    Alternatively, he might just go on one about how I'm just trolling or whatever, so I'm going to go ahead and state here that I'm never going to out him on anything no matter what he says, so hopefully that's enough that if he reads this, he'll decide to start acting like a normal human being toward me again.

    If not, oh well.

    I don't intervene in other mod's activities or decisions.

    You're free to do whatever you like, here, and I'll adapt. I wouldn't even be a mod if not for you. Do what ya like.
