He would be awaken in the night to his mother screaming in pain while United healthcare denied claims and refused new treatment. She had severe neuropathy. Holy shit this would leave a scar on anyone. I couldn't even imagine the emo

What do you think were the dynamics of the engineering team working on this? I'd think this isn't too crazy to stress test. If you have 300 million users signed up then you're stress test should be 300 million simultaneous s

Can someone provide the unbiased game theory strategy on what happens next? And what will this conflict look like in 12 months?

Isn't this a damning condemnation for the tech world? Can anyone think of another product that was so popular and then people started abandoning it for their own mental health? This sounds like drugs! We created the most influential h

I too feel every ounce of this. It's in the air. As a data oriented person I'm uncomfortable relying on "feels like" and "intuition" but that's all I have. The best way I can describe it is "societa

Folks seem terrified to really "let loose" and have fun. Fear of judgment seems to be the basis of their fear. I don't think this fear is completely irrational. Social media (or something) seems to have made people jump to

Your right about this occuring mostly at night. The store looks dead but do you know if the night crew is caught up on their closing responsibilities? Doing dishes, stocking nuggest sauces, cleaning the grill, disassembling the fry hopper,

As a manager you can't tell the customers this. You'd lose your job if your store manager or any higher ups find out. You lie to the customers and the workers cover for you (the shift manager) because they hate making ice cream.

Exactly! Our ice cream machines were well made and always worked as they should. They'd be down for a couple hours a month to clean but that's it. The machine would flash and beep when the ice cream mix was low so we were always

Yeah I think you're right. I'm out of touch now. I started working there ~10 years ago and my starting pay was $7.30/hr. I made $10/hr as a manager

Yes. Lunch rush is the baby of all McDonalds management. You'll rarely see an understaffed store then. Coincidentally this is the shift that most store managers work. Night shift is where you'll see the cluster-fucks occur most

You may be right! Just my experience working there for 4 years at 6 different stores. This happened all the time at every store I worked at. BTW Our machine would legit break too. Maybe once a year it would be down for a day.

I'll counter you. How do you find competent, reliable people that show up to work consistently and work hard for $9.00 an hour? You're doing the work of your buddies who called in. Your buddies called in because they're 17

It's a relative time sink and the toughest logistical challenge in the whole store for workers due to soft serve melting so fast. You must make the ice cream last. The car has to be at the window (or customer at the counter) when you

I worked at McDonalds for 4 years. 2 as a kitchen worker. 2 as a shift manager. I've personally cleaned these machines too many times to count. I've never heard one person tell "the truth" about this (at least in my pe

I had the same question. If you had to guess why it's currently flagged, what's your hypothesis?

This thread seems a bit out of touch. Most folks are speaking on the practicalities of a 3 party system but are missing the elephant in the room. IMO This isn't so much support for the 3 party system. It's the American public sa

Could someone please enlighten me on why we don't treat governing like we do software solutions? When I'm given a task to complete, my first instinct is to find where other developers have done what I'm asked to do and then u

The FDIC's actions indicate that the insured deposit limit is really unlimited instead of the advertised $250,000. This takes away a huge risk associated with recklessly handling depositors money because now the FDIC will swoop in and

Yep! Dont really care who's in the White House in this instance. I referenced the Biden team's verbiage because that's the only verbiage that was posted with the implied intent on getting tweets removed (besides the DNC). I

Interesting point! The white house in this case was the Trump white house so it could have been received positively by the media that twitter is standing up to Trump by suing. Could you elaborate on why you dont think it would be a free spe

by Dem_Boys 4y ago
This is a good point! The wording probably matters too. The Biden team asked Twitter to "review" certain tweets instead of "remove" certain tweets. So technically they're not suppressing speech explicitly but impl

This isn't true. White House requested tweets be removed. https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598828932395978752

Not surprising but sad. Politicians should be excluded from what you're talking about IMO. They're elected to serve the people and stand for our American beliefs including the freedom of speech. A political party (the DNC in this

Honest Question: If the white house contacts Twitter and asks for a tweet to be removed, is that a first amendment violation?
28.
by Dem_Boys 4y ago
Most concerning thing here is that this proves political parties (including the white house[0]) have a direct line to Twitter[1] to get stuff they dislike removed. One would have to assume that there was also a direct line to other social

I honestly have no bulletproof solution and I also have no desire to "defeat" social media. I just think that people would be happier and social media would be a better place if the public were educated on what it truly is.

Your right! So simple but I say this because I've never seen a well funded campaign or organization spreading this message. We have large organizations with great solutions tackling climate change, starving children, etc.... I guess m
