Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

That's some hardcore protesting just sitting on your iPhone behind a mask in a nice air conditioned office with a whiteboard of demands. They even got some delivery food containers on the table. Really persevering I see.
eta: According to the chat, security is only allowing it until 5:30pm, so got another hour to see what happens, which will probs be nothing.

They have the demeanor of children who got themselves in way too deep. Why are they doing this if it makes them so anxious and quiet and scared? Why are they wearing masks? Don't they have fabulous googler lives? Are these people even friends with each other?

These r-slurs perfectly encapsulate the r-slurs being pumped out of colleges that still act like children. They have their privleged cushy little shitty DEI/email jobs, and think this twitter-tier slacktivism means something, making them also delusional r-slurs. They're basically preformative children, hopefully they get fired.

Not Iran, probably everyone who has an ax to grind against the US. The Russian playbook of nation-state-level professional trolling has been shown to work: you don't need to destroy your enemy if you can get him to fight himself.

It's kind of interesting to see a massive powerful company like Google have so many people who would rather be activists then do the job they were hired to do.
And Google (as well as other big tech companies) do nothing because they built themselves as places “you can bring your true self to work”.
Of course that's only true if you're a degen leftist, anyone else has to keep their true self hidden.
I hope googles security comes in and clubs them all with night sticks.

Google is stable right now. They're not making any major acquisitions, so there's nothing all that important to work on anyway. I'm working for a big corporation right now that's going through a massive fricking merger, and they are running us ragged. If I stopped working to do this shit, I would immediately be shitcanned (especially considering I'm just a contractor). But if we were talking about like one year ago, we were barely doing anything and still getting paid full time hours. It's all a matter of timing.

You should be shitcanned for doing this kind of shit in the office anyway, it's wildly inappropriate for the work place.

I'm watching them still and supposedly they were supposed to be kicked out an hour ago but nothing. lol They said Google won't allow food and water in there but there is a huge thing of water and delivery food on the table. lmao
This is pretty boring. I was hoping they'd be dragged out. They're just sitting there on their phones talking about genocide.

Why bother kicking them out at all? They can occupy one of Google's 15,000 conference rooms for the rest of time and it won't interfere with their operations anyway.

It appears that's what Google plans to do. I was hoping for some live drama but is all I got. Back to ASMR and Baldur's Gate.

Sounds a lot like a Reddit moderator protest. Big mouths, but no one's ready to go all in.
I guess the difference is Google is a paying job. Is it a job, though? How many virginal assburger dweebs does it really take to kill useful apps (RIP, podcasts.) and ruin search?

Google won't be dumb enough to react. But These people will definitely get passed over for promotions within the company if anything just to avoid potential workplace drama and distractions.
Their bosses won't forget who stormed their bosses offices. And everyone in management is a suck up
