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?

These people didn't have high expectations immigrant parents. These were coddled children of wealthy suburbanites who lived life on easy mode, were told they were the best and most special people to ever live, breezed through school being sheltered and catered to, and now finally felt the long peepee of profit motive for the first time ever.

While I have no doubt that they'll be able to find a job somewhere in relatively short order (they do have Google on their resume after all, even if references may be tricky), I really doubt they'll find a job as cushy as the one they previously held. I know everybody here likes pretending they're a software engineer making $500k/yr but in reality they'll probably find some $100k - $150k/yr job - still pretty good and well above the median income, but probably a step down from their Google salaries, and certainly a step down in benefits.
I also would not be surprised if they were not offered severance in this case, considering they were arrested for trespassing on company property.

Any series A company will give them $300k just for having google on their resume. They can do nothing for six months until they get fired and then move on to the next company claiming they've been taking a break after leaving google.

Serious, just apply to random startups and demand an inflated salary for your google experience. Then do nothing until you get fired and repeat.

It's a bad time to be in the fluffy side of tech, especially with a "fired for cause" at Google. They'll get other jobs in CX design or Training and Development Curriculum Coordinators somewhere else, but at much lower salaries and at more precarious companies. Sure, you might say, they'll be "coasting" making 100-120k/year but it has to hurt knowing you could have been pulling 300+ and retired at 50

How do they explain the shame of wearing fricking masks. Cowards. Especially the chubby old grey haired incel cute twink.

It's all an in-group social conformity thing, it's about getting points with the in-group, so that means supporting the current thing and wearing masks because the rest do it. They want to appear righteous. They don't give a frick, which is why they done their shitty protest in an air-conditioned daycare. It's about narcissism and back pats from their shitlib cohort.

Elon provided a big redpill on who actually makes the sausage behind the scenes at tech companies after he fired like 80% of xitter employees
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Doesn't that kind of prove Elon was right to fire them, since Twitter didn't collapse and burn without them?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah, I remember when everyone was like "you can't just fire 75% of the engineers the company is going to collapse!"
Turns out that's not true at all. Technically it's doing just fine, maybe even better. Any drop in revenue is from advertisers pulling out and not platform stability issues.
As a side note Twitter was REALLY bad before Elon bought it. I remember reading an article about their architecture and how basically the various components at startup would query already-running components to get the current state of things. If at any point all of Twitter's services were to go down at the same time, they would be literally unable to bring the system back online again.

Yes. All the burning seems to from his own questionable business decisions, not because of a staff shortage.

You gotta ask yourselves why they don't just sabotage Google's shit. It wouldn't even be hard, just look at Gemini and that required no sabotage. If I worked at one of these bloated butt companies, I'd be fricking up their projects for fat pay. Imagine putting your face and high pay career on the line to protest the one thing guaranteed to frick your life up. They must not be the smarties.
Also, go sabotage defense companies if you really to help.

I refuse to believe a product with that many people working on it can be so dysfunctional without anyone noticing the problems and either choosing to remain silent or deciding to exacerbate them.

Honestly, in my view, the more people working on something, the more shit it is. Maybe they had so many people that a significant amount did not believe there was a problem whatsoever.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
