Reported to HR for… mismatched socks?
This is an easy one. I bet she’s an exceptionally attractive woman and another woman (or group of women) is reporting her to HR in an attempt to get their competition removed from the workplace. I’ve seen it more than once, even with the intern I was mentoring.
Women’s intrasexual competition is fucking brutal.
When you see any scam information on Reddit or even in the press, realize that anything said is usually 2-10 years behind where the technology actually is. So if you see someone claiming, “Real-time video deepfakes aren’t possible.”
That was true…in 2021. But it’s been possible since about then, and is getting easier all the time.
If you see someone assert that, “Voice cloning from a small sample can’t be done.” That was true…in 2018. About 2019, it became possible. In 2020 or so, it became trivial with some effort. Now you can do it by clicky-clicky on any of a dozen websites.
Tech is moving faster than people realize and can contextualize. Reddit seems particularly bad at being way, way behind the times. But I see it all over everywhere else too.

A Swedish court has ruled that the Eritrean migrant who raped 16-year-old Meya Åberg won’t be deported because the rape didn’t last long enough.
The rape took place on September 1st last year when Meya missed her bus and was walking through a pedestrian tunnel after finishing… pic.twitter.com/OArqfdMt1U

Poor girl. How long exactly does a rape need to last before the Swedes decide it’s too long? I will never understand why countries choose to self-destruct like this.
Too bad the woman who shot the loser in LA can’t head over to Sweden and enact some justice there too.
Man gropes, attacks store’s customers, then female shopper fatally shoots him, authorities say.
Good outcome; nice shooting. Didn’t hurt or kill anyone else.

it’s remarkable how quickly I’ve gotten used to having a 90% omnipotent 10% retarded entity at my disposal for absolutely any purpose 24/7

I’ve always been 90% omnipotent and 10% retarded so it feels normal to me.
I have more contempt for Germany than most of our actual geopolitical adversaries
fundamentally unserious clown country at the vanguard of Western Europe's self-debasing cultural suicide, defense freeloading, and horrific energy dependence

Agreed. Germany will be one of the first to be Islamicized. Perhaps not the first. Maybe the UK will have that honor (killing)? They are even more pathetic, tbh. But probably second in line is Deutschland.
in what context are you meeting women and sussing out that they are are forever girlfriends where it is not then a massive risk to your social or professional reputation to pursue them? https://t.co/oyESkJTTRQ

Great goddamn, I am so glad I am not dating now. Women have made it too dangerous to attempt to date them — in a different way than men have always posed some threat to women, but certainly not any better.
Many women seem to have the view that if someone their “inferior” asks them out, he must be destroyed. Evil stuff.
There will be more stories like this as economic growth continues in Eastern Europe while Western Europe converges first demographically and then economically with the third world. https://t.co/NdJ2EGsYVP

Indeed. The last hope and bastion of Western civilization is likely to be in Eastern Europe. Which is yet another reason to keep Putin out. I’m hoping Eastern Europe rejects being Islamicized and conquered by the Third World.

What’s a sentence a girl told you that is still stuck in your head to this day?
When my partner said to me about some complexy-propounded post on philosophy I’d written that, “A wizard uses precisely the word he means to.”
I couldn’t give less of a crap about what some random mook thinks about my writing. I care deeply, though, about her opinion; she’s my audience when I write anything on this blog. I already know I’m a good writer. It is a different thing altogether when someone you respect enormously and hold in the highest regard calls you a “wizard.”
That means something.
Such a great song. I love how Rachel belts. She has the best rock scream voice I have ever heard, and that’s one reason why “Wavebreaker” is one of my favorite songs I’ve found in the last year.
