| And many on the right who claim that "the left is coming for our guns!" are the same ones who claim that "the left is oppressing Christians". And even though Christians were killed by someone who may or may not have bern trans, I bet the right does nothing. It is possible, howeve... |

| Pre-1990 : I lost one job for not being a condescending liberal. I lost another job for not being a nationalistic conservative. I lost yet another job for spurning the advances of a gay manager. Finally, I lost a job because I would not support the union in a "Right to Work" state. No... |

I suspect I may have fallen victim to this at my last job.
Are there ways to work around these things? |

| While I think AI can rectify many issues we face, I also have concerns about it replacing human workers on a massive scale. I read that ChatGTP could put half the global work force out of a job. The bottom line: AI, automation and ChatGTP can work, but only when done responsibly and ethically, and a... |

| In another article, it mentioned a bank who only hired lacrosse players. The article I posted mentioned someone who was let go due to not contributing to the "gossiping and drinking" culture of her company, despite being very productive and delivering results. In other words, people can be... |

| With some trepidation, I would like to also mention Benny Hill's body of work . I have some trepidation in listing him because his body of work was so often inappropriate. It was sexist and did not hesitate to apply offensive stereotypes to different racial and national groupings. But, off-screen, ... |

| Seems like a loose choice of words to call America fascist. It is like calling Jan 6 an insurrection. My conclusion is there must be poor education in non rural areas. They should focus on reading, writing and arithmetic in the cities. They should hire some counselors and ship them in from rural ar... |

| The only British shows I find funny are "Are You Being Served?" & "Coupling". The rest just make me wonder "how is this at all funny", or I end up doing a lot of eye-rolling. Hubs loves "Red Dwarf" tho. They tried to do an American version of Coupling, bu... |
