What snowflake world did you grow up in where a teen pushing someone means they need to have their life ruined. Jesus, what kind of safe space life have you lived lol. Yeah the kid is such a victim, they got pushed, something that never happens to a child ever. Grow up

In my experience being both and employee and employer it's not usually the best move to stay. You were leaving for a reason. If the reason was not money, then all it's done is convince you to put up with it for longer. If it was money, it's just a matter of time till someone offers more, and the company knows that. They will build redundancy and remove you so you don't disrupt business by surprising them with an exit.

If you're not making enough there it's because the company doesn't want to pay you more or can't. If a company is paying you more than they would like, they're not just going to accept that, action will be taken to fill that spot at the desired price point.

Is all this right and moral, of course not. But capitalism never is, especially these days.

This is the exact thing the OP is talking about. Telling people they need to go out and fight, putting their lives on the line when you don't know their situation.

Self defense is not an ablest concept, it's one of the natural response to being threatened, and it's not limited to getting and using weapons. Ever heard of fight or flight? Fighting in a threatening situation is self defense and implying disabled people are helpless and can't fight is insulting.

It wasn't just the first few lines, it was the direct answer to the question though, that was my sticking point.

I get how racism can be deep under the surface, like a sort of "shadow racism" but I think assuming there's racism at play can be damaging as well. I get where you're coming from, I guess I just don't agree with the arrived at point.

I dunno man, your stance comes across as defeated, like nothing is worth doing. I disagree with that take.

You said

What's racist about it?

It's because people the meme states that DeepSeek didn't accomplish anything novel. That the real innovation was done in America with ChatGPT.

You literally said claimed that as what was racist about it....

Again, companies being accused of copying isn't racist. You made it racist by injecting the countries they were developed in and bringing in stereotypes.

Saying company A copied company B isn't racist. Those clsims are made all the time. This is really digging to make it racist.

This right here.

"Real" awkwardness is usually coming at someone's expense. I don't enjoy that. The same way true sadness is usually at someone's expense.

But if it's part of a story, fine. I'll watch a sad movie or a show that has awkward moments. Those very real feelings explored in a fun way that hurts no one can be a good time. Just like no one really enjoys being genuinely scared, but a scary movie can trigger that emotion in a safe and fun way.

First we had the victim complex, now we introduce the pre-victim complex, now with more self pity!

  • makes an inflammatory comment
  • someone responds to it
  • you say you don't want to argue about the topic you initiated
  • continue to engage with that person while also admitting to looking at it from the outside in

What you say and what you want, do, and say don't see to line up. You'd do great in US politics.

With your own mindset I'm gonna just say your government is much worse than ours in many ways and I don't want to argue about it.

Yet here you are...

 

It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
