In response to the executive orders, the activist and Baptist minister Rev Al Sharpton announced in January that a council with his organization, the National Action Network, would conduct a study on companies that are ending their DEI policies. By May, the council will select two companies to focus on. Sharpton and his organization will then publicly scrutinize the companies for backing away from their DEI goals.

“Donald Trump can’t make us buy your stuff. The Senate can’t make us buy your stuff,” Sharpton said at a speech last month. “In the name of Dr [Martin Luther King Jr], we’re going to do what King did.”

This is my huge takeaway from this entire article. Another opportunity has risen for Sharpton to run his big fat mouth and be the two-faced individual that he is. He’s not here because he legitimately cares about the DEI programs, he’s here because he knows he can be racist himself in a subtle matter against white people, as he has long been for years.

The irony.

Does he care? No.

We’re going to be seeing this be a trend in these 4 years.

“YEAH WE’RE GONNA FIRE THESE PEOPLE! DEFUND THE GOVERNMENT! CUT OUT THE DEAD WEIGHT!!!”

Few days later…

“Uhhh…uhhh, we need these people! Omg what do we do? uhhhh uhhhh”

Welp, how about you do the job then if you’re going to fire them.

Some people who have dignity for themselves, would rather serve their position honorably and be mistaken because they’re human. They don’t want to do their job poorly that directly violates their own work ethic and the duty they have sworn to uphold.

Resigning in this case is basically saying “I will not be told how to do my job because you don’t understand how it works and I will not let you use my job as a means to play political theater”.

Yes, 3+4 remakes. I’m for it. It has to be.

Backing this, I was going to write up a separate comment but this is really best left with someone professional. Not just anyone can really help with this. We’d have to know history which may be a few more paragraphs, we’d have to know their environment and livelihood, habits .etc

And that’s just something that’ll be exhausting to read and risks the OP to be set up to be scrutinzed or judged. Don’t really want that here.

Coffee/Monster Java. I really feel like I can’t function without either. I can go without Monster Java for a few days, but the coffee is something I can’t go without in it’s absence.

Porn. While this has been gradually getting better with not stockpiling tons and tons of images and not stroking off as much. I do spend quite some time looking at porn and falling into old habits from time to time.

Food Portion Control. I have poor portion control, I really do. I’ve long stopped going to chinese buffets which is a great step in progress. But I’ve substituted it with going to BK time to time and grabbing things that are just as bad if eaten in a day’s worth.

From just headphone use? No, disagreed. From loud music? I used it as an example, I don’t listen to loud music constantly as much anymore. You can’t avoid Tinnitus because even if you didn’t listen to loud music all of the time, being surrounded by loud noise in general will eventually get you there. I work in a store where people slam pallets down (for no stupid reason), screech pallet jacks, have noisy pallet jacks in general, ladder carts squeal and screech. We’re not allowed to protect our ears because “CONSOOMER FIRST” priority.

Plus, where I live, people slam their doors around, they holler, babies and kids throwing fits. Yeah, it doesn’t matter if I listen to loud music or not, I will develop Tinnitus because of the environments. It’s an environment thing.

If Trump was dead serious on immigration, he would’ve challenged and sent Musk packing. But Trump’s idea of tackling the immigration issue is in the same vein as tackling anyone else he don’t like. So he would delightfully target AOC and get rid of her at any chance.

I’m not buying it that it is headphone-related. I wear headphones nearly all of the time, I’ve listened to music loudly for years on end, I’ve had to deal with loud screeches, loud noise wherever I go, lived and worked.

It is totally an environmental thing. Plus, the article had already wrapped up what the problem was and a normal hearing test came back negative.

But they haaaaaad to find a reason in the next line. Just had to.

32% and within a month? Terrifying.

No, not the guy you appointed to have lead the department. Definitely not at fault.

So what phase are we in now anyways? Are we in the self-denial and lying phase? We got the nazism out of the way, we got the dismantling of minority groups out of the way. So now we’re just being pathological liars.

Ah shut up, you republicans love him. This is what you wanted. You either go all the way or go all the way. No half-assing.

Everything ancient civilization didn’t have.

This isn’t Reddit. Karma points would matter if it was reddit because they stupidly make it where the less points you got, the harder it’ll be to post anywhere. That isn’t a thing on the fediverse, you can have -1000 and still post.

It’s just a stupid internet toy.

When you eat something so perfectly good.

I am still using a computer case that was from my ex-roommate 4 1/2 years ago. I bought his old system when he was upgrading and while I had long gutted and got rid of the old parts to make way for newer ones a year after having moved out from him. I’m still using the case.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

For me in a way, yes. When I used to read books on a regular basis, I found it more easier to digest if I had nobody or nothing around to make noise. I can deal with small noises like random cracks or a pop here and there. Long as it wasn’t amplified or anything. When I listen to things such as music or take in sound in general, my mind goes everywhere and it can’t focus on the pages of a book.

I always hated it when people try talking to me when louder noise is present and expect me to hear them perfectly. My mind is not focusing on your words, it’s focusing on that obnoxious noise that’s disrupting things.

Really wish netbooks would make a return.
