Am I going to tell him that? Absolutely the fuck not. He can have his upvotes and stay weak.

- criticizing him would be doing him a huge undeserved favour

Reddit sucks man ā¦ it just rewards popular opinion for the sake of honest discussion and growth ā¦ best to take anything on that site with enough salt to kill a blue whale
You should see my 315x1 deadlift, lol.
Yeah, your back could be better, but it wasnāt bad. Nice work.

How do I get a job as an unconscious bias trainer? Being an Ancient Astronaut Theorist isnāt panning out like I hoped.

Purchase a masterās in psychology from the University of American Somoa for $50.

Lecture people for the inner workings of their subconscious. Make sure they feel really guilty about it, as if they chose how their subconscious operates. Try to act superior and woke, like youāre the first person with the self awareness to learn this stuff.

Profit.

Ahhh, good old reprogramming.
In a training session I attended, where all discussion āstays in these wallsā, we were presented a scenario where someone makes a once off, one line joke which is sexual in nature - no swearing, not vulgar. It caused offence to a female worker who was part of the conversation. When the person found out, they immediately apologise to the offended female. We then discuss whether it matters if the person intended to cause offence.
To which I answered, of course it matters (technically, I said āof course it mattersā¦ uuum or at least it doesnāt not matterā) - because Iām not a psychopath. Turns out I was wrong and someone making a one liner in bad taste and immediately acknowledging and apologising is exactly the same as someone making a comment where their primary intension is to cause distress.
After this, I seem to be pulled into all these kinds of training sessions - by coincidenceā¦

I had to do IRB training last month. At least for me it was online and I was getting paid to do itā¦ still suckedā¦ Canāt imagine what you have to sit through
There is no room for deontology. Donāt be basic.
Someone has been in the car with screaming kids for an hour, turns around to tell Timmy to stop pulling Jennyās hair. In that moment, they take their eyes off the road for a second, only to hear a thump and see a dead body on the road.
I hope to live in a world where this person is punished to the same degree as someone who gets into an argument with someone over the last newspaper. Returns to their home, grabs a gun and kills the newspaper hoarder in cold blood.
You already live in that world: our punishment is freedom.
Terrible, terrible freedom.
To which you say: "Iām not a child. This is not an exact science. Donāt spit in my face and tell me itās raining - I see a clear distinction between someone making a joke with no intent to offend and someone doing so maliciously to make someone feel bad. In the first case, the person making the joke does not seek to illicit any negative emotion. In the 2nd, the joker does. See, a logical, clear difference.
'The issue isnāt whether there was intent. The issue is can you prove it. If not, youāre just trying to control how people think, which is a larger issue ā¦ donāt you think?"
And now, youāve put this asshole as the one being in the wrong. Or put yourself on a ālistā ā¦ either wayā¦
We had something very similar and we used āVegas rulesā as well.
Ridiculous.
*Oh, and I almost forgot, one of the presenters let us know their pronouns. Iām pretty sure I was noticeably shaking my head.

Should I know what this means?
