It is physically impossible to be over age of 25 and not want to cast these ppl into the sun

You know how ppl under 15 can hear certain frequencies? Its like that but in reverse

When schools send a bunch of cops in to fight college students, it immediately makes them look brave and justifies their cause. Everyone roots for the underdog especially when they're actually risking something.

Meanwhile at UCLA they're just letting the protestors do whatever. So they're inevitably making themselves look bad.

Beloved parts of campus are spray-painted with cringe anarchy symbols. Walkways are blocked so students can't get to class. Protestors keep climbing onto building scaffolding which impedes construction for no reason. There's a PSA that no bananas or peanuts are allowed at the encampment because someone has an allergy.

I can feel the vibe slowly beginning to shift against them just because they keep doing stupid college-student type stuff.

They really only win when images of cops arresting them are promulgated through the mainstream, because they invoke the cultural memory of Kent State and student protests of the 60s. Columbia is the most embarassing example because the administration is allowing Elise Stefanik to dictate their response because they're more afraid of protecting their jobs, which is ironic because they'll probably be losing them soon and having a Scarlett letter going forward in left spaces because of how they treated them. The Republicans couldn't be happier that this implosion is happening in an election year, it's just impressive that the Biden administration has been able to side step for this long.

Please COPS! PLEASE BEAT US TO DEATH!

The video of the Columbia students who took over a building requesting humanitarian aid at a press conference was so embarrassing. The video of the horse cops breaking up the UT protest was embarrassing. Ignoring seems to be the only good method.

A picture of themself being arrested is what they need to propel their post Uni activism career.

This sub gets too caught up in optics. The reality is repression is effective. It may strengthen passive activism and sympathy, but those people don't do a thing. They're not a problem. Meanwhile repression actively hinders a sizeable part of the demographics that aren't useless, the ones actively doing something. It's a net positive to dissuade them with violence. This is based on my experience in France, maybe not fully applicable to the US where protests are a lot more performative in nature.

neighbor wat

I thought this sub would be sympathetic to the protestors

everyone here probably aligns with the protestors morally and ethically but it's always frustrating to see the left lose the war of optics because we can't help but be cringe.

I'm so checked out, how are they being cringe? All I see is them having occupied the national spotlight and a heightening of political tension

They took over Hamilton Hall (I'm fine with this) and then during a press conference today talked about the need for students occupying the Hall to receive "basic humanitarian aid" unless Columbia wants them to "starve and die of thirst". When told by a reporter that they are simultaneously calling themselves revolutionaries while also asking to be fed by Columbia, she says they aren't asking to be fed but asking "that they don't violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid". When asked if Columbia is stopping delivery of food, she says they are "looking for a commitment that they won't". Just unbelievably cringe. To top it off stood behind her during this conference is a bearded man wearing a crop top and keffiyeh

Seen another one of students who were asked what the goal was. She said showing support for Palestine and demanding NYU stops. When asked "stops what?" she says "Honestly I'm not so sure" then she asks the girl next to her what they are protesting for NYU to stop and she says "I wish I were more educated on that".

There was a student with a "severe banana allergy" so the encampment was made a banana free zone, but Zionist anti-protestors brought bananas and laughed while eating them from a distance which made the students furious.

For anyone averse to cringe its really hard to cheer these people on

The unforeseen positive feedback loops that we will only notice when it's far too late.

We might very well be like Wile E. Coyote, already off the cliff just not realising it yet.

Just like my cartoon!

Preemptive war for diminishing resources.

Wid scale ecological collapse. The ecosystems we have are our life support. They provide all of our food, heavily influence weather patterns, etc. When they go, we go, and we won't be able to out-tech ourselves from the situation. Geopolitical instability rapidly spirals in conjunction with ecological collapse.

I'm surprised to see this relatively low in the list. The biggest problem, IMO, is not that extreme weather events are going to kill people. It's that extreme weather events are going to, at some point, line up badly and wipe out a large amount of food at one time. Add this to the loss of sea life and we simply won't have enough food to feed everyone. Many, many people will die. Many more will try to move.

Looks like Malthusianism is back on the menu!

Geopolitical instability. Collectively, humans are not great at dealing with crisis., so our own collective immaturity will compound any existential crisis. We are the crisis of crisis.

Pandemic is a case in point.

And as for when it will happen, well it started about 2008.

2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 THE YEAR OF MILLENNIAL APOCALYPSE

!ifrickinglovescience !biology !chemistry I'm unironically concerned about climate change as well, but these doomers focus on the most extreme worst-case-scenarios on a very unhealthy way to the point it just discourages any climate action, I don't see much discussion about adaptation neither, not that is a silver bullet but things like more research on GMO heat or drought resistant crops will be necessary and could help with food insecurity. Research on solar geoengineering should also be encouraged.

Elon Musk fires Tesla's entire supercharger team

Electric-car maker's public policy unit also being disbanded as chief announces in memo hundreds more jobs to be cut

Elon Musk has shut down the division that runs Tesla's Supercharger business, dismissed two senior executives and fired hundreds more staff as the electric-car maker continues its restructuring amid a sharp downturn in the EV market.

Musk announced internally on Monday that the head of the superchargers group, Rebecca Tinucci, and Daniel Ho, head of new products, would be leaving along with their entire teams. About 500 people were in the supercharger group, the memo said.

Tesla's supercharger system is among the largest charging networks in the world, and was one the reasons the company enjoyed such a commanding lead over rival carmakers for so long. While the supercharger operations will continue, the move raises questions over the future of the charging business.

The entire public policy unit will also be disbanded following the departure of its leader, Rohan Patel, in the middle of April.

“Hopefully these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard core about headcount and cost reduction,” Musk wrote in the memo, which was first reported by The Information. “While some execstaff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so.”

Any manager “who retains more than three people who don't obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” should resign, he added.

Tesla shares, which fell 5.5 per cent on Tuesday, were down another 2.6 per cent in pre-market trading at $178.53 on Wednesday.

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

I didn't buy it but apparently it wasn't very good even for an early access launch. RIP in peace.

My manager makes us “weigh in” before starting a shift and then again before a shift meal

I don't really know what to make of this. We've been under a lot of pressure to portion control. My manager is always freaking out when we are low on anything at all and says we aren't hitting our “numbers”.

I swear he's getting paranoid due to the pressure from corporate. There's a lot of concern about employees eating on the job and “skimping off the bins”. He decided to remedy this with a scale. I shit you not.

Before every shift we have to weigh in. Before we have our shift meal he makes us weigh in again. He says if we've gained weight we don't get to have a shift meal because obviously we are skimping? Apparently water doesn't weigh anything.

This feels illegal but he says it's not because it's to prevent theft and that he keeps the numbers private. Has this been implemented at other chipotles? Please help.

It's because he has a flawed argument, my partner is gender fluid and I'm friends with several trans people, including my family members, and I believe people should have the right to transition. But puberty blockers have been linked to causing cancer as well as bone damage, everyone needs estrogen and testosterone or they will be unhealthy it's a matter of basic biology, males and females need both estrogen and testosterone at different levels.In terms of children I think the child needs to be at the level of self harming over their dysphoria before we have medically transition them, and I can recognize that may be necessary in some cases and we should absolutely medically transition them if they're too severe to just socially transition.I have nothing against trans people and I think consenting adults should be able to make their own decisions even if they are ultimately harmful to their bodies, but children are vulnerable and not every trans person needs it wants to transition.

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Not sure why you're rambling about illegal immigration but alright. Giving children body altering drugs to prevent natural processes like puberty is insane. We aren't talking about adults. We aren't talking about people with developed brains. We are talking about children who think that Spider-Man is real. Children whose brain is DIRECTLY impacted when their development is altered or stopped completely. For example, testosterone plays a VITAL role in the brain development of young boys. Boys with lower levels of testosterone are much more likely to have mental illness like depression, anxiety and have issues developing social skills. When you alter that VITAL, NATURAL BODILY FUNCTION in a child, you are directly negatively impacting the way in which that child grows, learns, thinks, and develops. It doesn't matter what a child says they are. When I was 6, I was fully convinced that if I tried hard enough, I could fly just like Superman. Does that mean my parents should've allowed me... (1)

Yk there r quite a lot of studies proving that puberty blockers will decrease rate of suicidality in trans youths and not the opposite and very few proclaiming the opposite. +I rly hope U weren't experiencing puberty at 6 I did not believe Spiderman was real when I started experiencing puberty but maybe that makes me a genius what do ik + people aren't technically done developing their brains till after 20(well technically never but yk) and no one outside of America seriously thinks we should delay people's adulthood as much as possible+ what is and isn't natural is incredibly meaningless to any discussion and I hope I don't need to explain why+ puberty blockers are far less life altering then puberty itself and their negative impact are actually relatively low + the fact that U think this is a virtue signal is almost certainly a projection given how conservatives will often treat their children TLDR: why the frick am I arguing with U U will just call me a moron/groomer/p-dophile/ind...

Something something broken clock (21)

The phrase "a broken (or rather stopped) clock is right twice a day," isn't saying that you should believe a broken clock about what time it is twice a day. It means that when a broken clock seems to tell the correct time, or when some lunatic who thinks that there is a massive conspiracy to turn kids trans seems to simply be criticizing famous people, it's purely coincidental. The clock isn't telling time at all, it just seems to be. This isn't actually a comic criticizing the elite, it's part of a false narrative that trans kids are just forced to be trans by their parents for attention. (-15)
