I could make the same posts under another name and nobody would downvote them.
No you couldn't. People would be able to tell it was you by your histrionics immediately.
According to the timestamp you posted at 20:40 and then posted your whiny comment at 20:45. You gave it all of five minutes before you declared some kind of stormfront conspiracy.
Your OP is largely upvoted but your victim complex knows no bounds. Example #5428 of you acting exactly like the women you hate.
Really goes to show how many people out there aren't capable of doing much more than repeating whatever programming is beaten into their heads.
That, and people will cling to a convenient excuse for not succeeding more in life.
Stl's population decline is a little misleading. You really need to look at the metro area population rather than the city itself. A lot of that decline is people moving to better suburbs like Brentwood and Clayton. I'm sure they still work in the city.
Is it just a combination of white flight/de-industrialisation and really fucking poor governance/forward planning..?
Yeah, pretty much. I've been to STL a bunch of times for Cardinals games and such. I've never seen anywhere with a bigger discrepency between the good parts of town and the bad. Maybe in Central America but not by much.
The city was hit just as hard as the rest of the rust belt by de-industrialization. There just aren't any jobs anymore. Mercy Health and Anheuser Busch are the only major companies I can think of that are headquartered there and the latter doesn't really employ that many people.
That's a little hyperbolic but I do think the movement needs to move on from him.
I knew a guy whose title was "Director of Ideology" at a left wing non profit in 2011 so at least that long ago.
I wonder if there is a word for those kind of manufactured fake controversies. The internet is full of those reddit tier "discourses"
"Are hot dogs sandwiches?" is another one off the top of my head.
That's all valid but I don't think it reflects the current administration/deep state. Notice that's all Bush and Trump stuff.
Lol, ok.
I have oddly fond memories of having an entire office building to myself as well.
The only reason the NFL does that is to attract female eyeballs to the sport. They know they have millions of men already.
"Investors don't give a shit about profitability"
-You, first comment of this thread.
You'd have a point if that's what you'd said initially.
No, you missed the point. You said investors don't care about profitability. I pointed out that many investors have sold as a result of their lack of profitability.
Who do you think has sold resulting in those losses? Retail investors?
Is that why Meta stock is down 50% from its peak?
These people seem to think that delcaring something a "human right" makes money resources and labor fall from the sky.
I was going to type out a response but this is essentially perfect.
Thank you for your unbiased take on this matter.
And often times the customer support is outsourced to a third party call center that covers multiple other companies so they know even less.
Exactly right. Call center work is the most depressing, soul crushing kind of work because your entire job is to get the person off the phone as quickly as possible. Helping them with their problem isn't even what you're graded on.
That really summarizes twitter discourse as a whole. Pithy, sophomoric reply that no one would say to someone's face and if they did they'd get punched.
The LGBT thing is spot on. It's a way to claim oppression status. I bet all of us can point to at least one "bisexual" girl we knew in college who exclusively dated guys.
Though nowadays they'd probably call themselves pansexual or some more in vogue term.
