Why would anyone with real skills go to Meta? The company is far past its prime. Anyone with actual talent could get a way, way more comfortable job that pays exactly as well.

Can we elaborate on "weird experiments" at all? I assume a reward of $25,000/week means that the risk is similarly high and that I'm not likely to survive a huge number of weeks.

If we can guarantee that I won't be harmed (physically or mentally) by the experiments, then easy yes.

A petition is very literally nothing more than whining. Go protest.

On May 30, 2020, a petition titled "Justice for George Floyd" was created after unarmed African-American George Floyd was murdered by police, leading to mass protests. The petition earned over 19 million signatures, making it the most signed petition in the platform's history, surpassing the Article 13 opposition petition over a year earlier.

And what the fuck did the petition do? Protests work, petitions don't do shit. If anything, petitions hinder progress because it makes people feel like they've done something and sit back down instead of going to protests.

The green party doesn't exist to screw you all over.

No, they just don't care about that side effect. They're more than happy to make the world a worse place as long as it protects their feelings.

In time, I hope you come to reject the propaganda you just posted.

I care about outcomes, not naive idealistic bullshit. Campaign for change locally and work from the bottom-up. Don't sabotage an entire presidential election - that you have literally no chance to win and carries great risk to people that you claim to care about - in order to get the worst candidate anyone has ever seen in our history into power.

One could just as equally claim that the democratic party only exists to siphon off green party votes.

Nah, I live in reality. Until we don't use a two-party system, the Green party doesn't exist to win.

or else is being demonized by the democratic establishment or democrat voters.

The party that only exists to siphon Dem votes and help Republicans win isn't universally loved by Democrats? Wow that's so crazy, I can't imagine why that would be.

It's almost as if they were a primary reason Trump won the first election and became relevant in the first place. It's almost as if the entire MAGA movement is only as big as they are because of the Green Party's role in that first election...

It's a total mystery why anyone would be unhappy with Stein 🤷‍♂️

I just sort by recent and that's it 🤷‍♂️ if it falls off and I forget about it, I guess it's gone

Nah Meta is widely regarded as one of the best employers in the world

lolwut

They pay a lot, but everyone knows they're overworked like hell. Meta is a shit-tier employer, but if you're a young masochist then they're worth a few years to pad your accounts.

The (significantly higher) weight makes the tree start leaning and breaking with a lot more warning, so they get out of the way much earlier. Since this one was cut so short, it didn't start leaning until it was basically completely severed, so there was little to no resistance to the fall.

"Alpha male" basically translates to toxic masculinity, and "beta male" basically translates to anyone who respects other people in any way. It's the callsign of pieces of shit like Andrew Tate, who is a human trafficker and serial sexual abuser currently in prison awaiting trial in... I think it was Croatia?

He doesn't know what it means to be cool, so he's hoping that just declaring that he's cool will be good enough to make him popular.

The problem is that the kids who try this strategy almost universally cannot pick up on social cues, otherwise they would understand that it will always lead to the opposite result. People who seriously say out loud that they're alpha males are pretty much exclusively losers or scumbags.
