To be fair the rest of it did match my expertise, but the title read like a scam.

She is saying they are criminals because they canā€™t trace their ancestory to actual Jewish people (because she misread the Haaretz report) and thus have no claim to Palestinian land (since that claim dates back to 3k years).

PS: Zionism is wrong, Iā€™m just trying to explain what her post was about.

Basically she is saying: ā€œEuropean Jews are liars and criminals because they canā€™t trace their ancestory to real Jewsā€

I noticed my boyfriend had the same problem understanding it. Took a bit of explaining.

Edit: added a better explanation.

Sorry, I should have added more context here since Iā€™m able to access her account and see the general pattern of posts.

Wow what a sweeping statement with no legs to stand on.

I love work. I worked (yes) quite hard to get a degree and become a developer and ML engineer. One day, Iā€™d like to work in computational neuroscience. I hate so many things about work culture, but the work itself? Naaah, itā€™s awesome. Iā€™d rather spend every day in this life working on something I love and have interested in, instead of going around making sweeping statements about the entire globe on the internet, incapable of accepting that not everyone is like me.

Yep so not ā€œallā€ of them.

Oh my oh my sorry for taking people in the internet at face value. Next time Iā€™ll just guess what their thought process was and live my life based on that.

It literally Is work, and you knew that before replying /: see we can both say shit like that.

@snek@lemmy.world avatar

Hereā€™s another one: Iā€™m so sorry your life must really suck with work and all to the point that you canā€™t see other people enjoying it and where you feel the need to say they arenā€™t really ā€œworkingā€ just because they found something they love and succeeded in navigating the shitty system (out or merit or luck or privilege, whatever) and you didnā€™t /:

We can all be on the same side. I hate modern work culture and I actively try to improve it and myself day after day. Iā€™m sure you do too.

Could you accept that one too?

Cheers bud.

You need to consider that most jobs out there are simply things that need to be done

This was always my view. I donā€™t think I said anything at all that implies otherwise. So we already agree. My original comment was in response to someone saying no one ever in existence wanted to work. Surely youā€™ve met idiots on the internet and had to explain things to them before, no? Hard for me to assume they were using a literary device. Iā€™d rather take them at face value.

@snek@lemmy.world avatar

Then get ready for lots of downvotes because apparently pointing out that someone made a sweeping generalization then telling the world youā€™re one of those few who enjoy their jobs means you deserve being downvoted to hell šŸ˜

@snek@lemmy.world avatar

You make it sound like there is only dirt poor people forced to work or criminally rich people with ā€œfreedom to peruse their interestsā€

Somehow having a job you like in this situation makes it not work.

LOL, nah man, I found WORK and I like it and itā€™s still called WORK.

snek ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

The idea that work stops being work if you enjoy it not something I can take seriously.

Buddy, working in a textile mill in 48 Ā°C is a safety hazard and modern slavery. You have a weird warped pedantic perspective on what work means. And somejow the rest of us should take the dictionary definition and throw it out of the window and instead adopt your made up definition that seems to only work in your head? šŸ˜¬ No thanks.

The first is modern slavery. The second is work. Hope it helps! Cheers.

Ps: SEO manager? Clearly it was a mistake to engage you at all because you didnā€™t read squat shit of what I wrote. Note to the future: do not engage people who havenā€™t even read your own text, and donā€™t bother reading their text to the end. They are upset at a phantom in their heads, not you.

Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid

Could I ask, how old are you and why do you find it that way? :/ Never had this experience. Maybe my grandpa is a grumpy old fuck but otherwise ā€œold peopleā€ are just ā€œpeopleā€.

I guess this is the story of Brexit? The UK shouldnā€™t have allowed people over 50 years old to vote on that referendum, because they arenā€™t likely so see the effects of the decision and theyā€™re still delusional about a great empire that can stand alone while they watch American TV shows on a TV made in China and a chair designed in Swedenā€¦

Errrr, so letā€™s take away the right of people to vote when they hit the age of 50?

LOL, do you think we will be this relevant/irrelevant when we turn 50? Brexit was dumb as fuck but that doesnā€™t justify stripping away peopleā€™s rights.

I am enjoying it, thanks.

@snek@lemmy.world avatar

So you mean, specifically older Americans (?) living in the suburbs?

Also again how old are you? A bit curious.

snek ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

And Iā€™m supposed to guess that how? From the /s they didnā€™t add to the end of their post, or?

snek ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. Your right to vote doesnā€™t change based on how many days you have left to live. By this logic, maybe we should ban everyone with cancer from voting too?

snek ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

I feel like the coolest old people I have met were Americans who travel.

No, none of the ones I saw in Europe.

Funny, reminds me how some Swedish men fly to Thailand to do things they cannot easily/safely do in Sweden, like pay for sex or do drugs.

snek OP ,

Not a coincidence that this company and team Iā€™m being laid off from has one manager who resisted (and continues to resist) technical documentation. Everything is just to make things work NOW with a big middle finger to sustainability.

snek OP ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

That sounds awful. Maybe one day will dawn on this world when companies will just listen to the professionals doing the work. My managerā€™s manager (the one resisting docs) seems to be on some kind of power trip. Heā€™s an exceptionally bad listener who treats us like chess pieces in a game he is playing in his own head. I thought he just annoyed me, but after having a chat with my manager about him, it turns out that everyone is having problems with him and heā€™s unwilling to be flexible.

snek OP ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

I appreciate that my manager needed to tell me ASAP because others are nervously waiting in the line to know whether or not they are being laid off and he had to inform us (people being laid off) first. However, what I didnā€™t appreciate is that that vacation should have been sick leave to recover from burnout but my manager kept thinking that ā€œburnoutā€ meant ā€œstressā€, when what it actually means is ā€œthe job I used to love and cherish now feels like lifting tons of bricks up a steep slope then rolling down in defeat and cryingā€.

snek OP ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

Could be, though it sounds a bit farfetched.

However this company has been well established since the 90s and are a major television company in the country I live in. Basically we had large organization changes that made no sense and we later found out that there were disputes between upper management and that as soon as one of them leaves their job, the rest take the company and steer it into a whole new direction. Meanwhile the entire staff is trying to manage under all the stress and weā€™ve had all kinds of bugs and problems with our ā€œnew launchā€.

They made us build the pyramids then laid off the excess.

You know people get all sorts of existential dread thinking about an AI maximizing for paperclip production, but what scares me the most is jerks maximing for money and how they will not stop at anything. And theyā€™re not even AIs yet. Mr. Burns embodied.

snek ,
@snek@lemmy.world avatar

For me this read differently. Probably because at my company we had one jerk like this. I spent a good year fixing his poorly written code. His only goal was to always make dazzling things that work for a few weeks, enough for him to pitch them, but no focus on clean and sustainable work.

But I do agree, there is a fine line, and lots of places do not give enough recognition to employees.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too ā€œproductiveā€. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

My manager wanted me to come to the office daily because the laptop I had couldnā€™t handle the company VPN, which we were suddenly using in our systems.

He gave me some crap about it and reminded me of the ā€˜office firstā€™ policy at my workplace.

I looked him dead in the face and said, ā€œYou canā€™t force anyone back to the office. You know that itā€™s not going to fly with the employees. You can try but it wonā€™t workā€.

He didnā€™t look too happy about that, but he knows itā€™s reality.

Ended up finally getting an new old laptop for the VPN issue, which some other employee left behind, because the budget was ā€œtoo tightā€ even though I couldnā€™t do my work efficiently. And a few days ago I was told Iā€™d be laid off. Also because of the budget.

So hooray!
