    Fyi This clip is pretty clearly pieced together out of context.  Do you understand the argument he was making about merit in jobs like doctors and pilots? Royale did a really good job of explaining it in the other thread. Or even better find the full clips and watch them and see if you think he meant what Alluring Elizabeth is trying to make you think he meant.

    Ultimately people have lessons from parents, siblings, peers, religion. A lot of things. To the extent that most of us have a guy on our shoulder that knows what is right or what isn't right. Most of us don't ever think of hurting people for no reason. Those that do and do so for political reasons aren't representing anybody's political beliefs. No morally decent person condones this stuff. I hate how all this stuff is just political ammunition at this point as it just increases the already big divide, but that's just the nature of internet with no accountability for what is said.    

    I think we need to all have our real identities on social media,  it would make normal folks a lot less likely to act like asshats.

    This is Matt Forney: 

     

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/07/matt-forney-at-the-rnc.html

     

    "CLEVELAND—This is far-right journalist and internet personality Matt Forney, whose work sits at the intersection of racism and men’s rights activism. “Let’s just be honest: everyone hates blacks,” he wrote last year, arguing that “whites are rapidly getting fed up with what is basically a hostile, parasitic population in their midst.” He is the author of essays including “Why Fat Girls Don’t Deserve to Be Loved” and “How to Beat Your Girlfriend or Wife and Get Away With It.” He is not married."

     

     

    Matt Yglesias is a center-left author I have followed for years.  

    So it sounds like Matt Forney is a POS, but I tend to not agree with Slate about most topics.

    This is another problem.  This nonsense of pointing to isolated actors and pretending that they stand for a group or that they embody a large group has got to stop.  MAGA doesn't want to be labeled a certain way because of a few bad actors.  Same deal here.  This is another type of toxicity that has to end. 

    I don't think I've ever been more in agreement with something you posted.  We ALL need to remember it, let's all try to be better to each other.

    Come on….the essence of MAGA is to “own the libs” ….let’s see what trump and MAGA own now…

    • Tariffs that NO level headed economist or business man agree with. A tax on the everyday citizen that has completely stalled the economy.
    • Name ONE country that we have a better relationship with since 47
    • Putin literally laughs at feckless DT and is now poking nato
    • isreal has gone rouge and is razing Gaza and bombing sovereign nations
    • The BBB blows the deficit up to reward billionaires, fund ethnic cleansing here in the us and hands the tab to our kids
    • Our world leading science community blown up
    • Schools are aimless….but we got the 10 commandments 

    So ya….I come here to “own the magas”  because that’s the level of discourse we are at

     

    Why?

    Come on folks. This isn't the time to be declaring the divide is too wide, that its due to leftist or maga rhetoric.  The man was just murdered,  maybe try to find some common ground here? Maybe reconsider if you could be more tolerant? Maybe reach out to that family member who didn't vote like you did and you cut them off.

     

    Because if we don't try and reflect on our own positions when something like this happens,  many id the the hateful accusations we say here about each other is just as true about ourselves. Be better.

    Playing devil’s advocate……do you think that some of those fans just said to themselves “it doesn’t look good and I can save burning a day off from work if I beat the traffic and get home early”? They took a calculated gamble, and to be honest that gamble didn’t look like that much of a gamble.

     

    They got Josh Allen’d.

     

    Not gonna lie, this was ALMOST my group.  We had a guy all the way in from Minnesota who wanted to stay so we stuck it out. Thank God for that!

    If we had known any of this from our vantage in the stands, I think some people would have heart attacks. Legitimately. It was bonkers enough as is. 

    I have never been in a stadium that loud at about 30% capacity!  I walked to the concourse and back down 3 times. What a bananas ending.

    It’s got to be painful for those who were at the game, left early, and then miss out on that comeback win. I wonder how many who left will admit they left. 

    I filmed the fg as proof I didn't leave lol!

    Considering a career change

    I have been working in the energy industry (specifically energy efficiency) for over ten years and have reached a point where I genuinely don’t like it. I stated in lighting, which I was good at, I enjoyed the people I worked with etc.  then Covid hit and people moved on and eventually I did too. 
     

    I took a semi management type position with a tech startup that was good for a while but they made it clear they were going to force everyone to relocate to Denver so I took my current job. 
     

    I was hired to take on a very specific contract and the work was exactly what I was comfortable doing and I enjoyed it. My second child was born when I started this job and I was making the best money of my career. About a year later (a year ago) I was told rather abruptly that my company didn’t do some paperwork properly (before I was even hired) and I was now no longer eligible to work on the contract (govt contract) so once that ended I was doing some random work on projects, but the work we were doing wasn’t really in my skill set, we bid on and won a few contracts that I was working on but they haven’t worked out like the company hoped (not enough work essentially). A few weeks ago my boss called me and told me that he’s just not sure there’s going to be enough work in my current role and to “take care of myself”. He suggested talking to HR and seeing if there was a different role at the company I might be suited for. I looked and nothing seems like a fit. I’m also getting the vibe, that something is off. I worried they are are going to let me go, maybe not in the next few weeks, but by year end. Essentially, I am tired of feeling like a square peg in a round hole and wondering if I would be better off in a new field. 
     

    Has anyone ever done a late 30s career change? How did it work out? 
     

    I applied to a bunch of jobs in the last few days to protect myself, but if anyone is hiring…

    If the boss is cool enough to give you that kind of heads up, Id definitely start looking.  I changed my career at 38, scary as hell but it was the best thing I ever did.  Think about what you like and want to do.

    Mine wasn't necessarily a career change, but I went back to a former career. 

     

    For 6 years, I was an Incident Manager at Yahoo. Well someone got the bright idea to replace the entire incident management department with AI. I was laid off in August 2024. I had spent 6 months applying, in interviews, with nothing happening. 

    My wife owns a literacy center for children and adults who fit the Dyslexia profile. Her office manger and services coordinator got together, and went to my wife claiming each of their jobs should be full time, and with a very high hourly rate. When my wife said she didn't agree with them, they both gave their resignations on the same day, with her office manager only giving a 4 day notice. So my wife walks in my home office and says "Do you want a job?" 

     

    I was an office manager for a food distribution company and a couple of construction companies when I lived in California. I said sure. She combined both roles into one. We get along fabulously as her as my boss. The company has tripled its revenue from this time last year. We have over 25 families on a waiting list, where before my wife's longest waiting list was 10 families. I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing. The only downside is when I want to take a day off, there's no PTO so I have to make up the hours, which my wife is totally fine with me doing. 

    Sleeping your way to the top!
