If the jacket doesn’t fit then you must acquit.

They’ll be laws against that though.

Doesn’t it say in the bottle?

I have heard of him actually, well I didn’t know his name but I’ve heard about him.

Exactly my point. You can’t expect people to change on their own and it’s on us to try and make the world a better place, as per our morals.

This is my approach to hobbies. I spent two years kinda learning Spanish n Duolingo and had a 2 year streak, but then I just stopped and wasn’t mad cause the goal wasn’t to learn Spanish it was just something I was interested in at the time and was fun.

I’m all about journeys and doing what is fun at the time but I’m not forcing myself to finish things if I don’t want to. Maybe I’m broken but I have lots of fun and never get bored.

I wouldn’t say I need to, but more I would like to.

If people are voting against their own interests because they have been lied to then don’t we owe it people to try and get them to see how the world works?

If people are hating on immigrants and poor people rather than the class system that is extracting all the wealth from areas then surely having more people onside makes it easier to change the system.

I agree that most people are good people and maybe just misinformed or have had their frustrations weaponised against them.

I know there are but my employer is amazing and the work life balance is great. Don’t care enough to try and change our tech stack, but I hold no ill will towards anyone who does care enough.

Yup. Software developer here for a small company. We use a Windows. Chrome for testing applications and edge is just there. We are all in on Microsoft, server is C# .Net, running on azure with teams and outlook and office.

I do use Firefox though but I’m the only one out of 7.

Nah I’m pretty chill so imagine clone me would also be chill.

How do we tackle those problems you mentioned?

The reason I ask is I support your view here, but recently I’ve been downvoted a lot for having the opinion that I don’t blame people still using Twitter as I believe, like you, that most people are good people and can be reasoned out of what we believe are the wrong beliefs and that staying in those places to converse with them is better than Twitter becoming a right wing place and us chilling here in left wing ideology but at the end of that nobody learns anything they didn’t already know.

The hardest challenge in changing someone’s beliefs is that people don’t want to admit they were wrong or lied to or used or whatever and this makes it challenging if we can’t take our ego out of the equation.

Anecdotal proof that people can change is a YouTuber called JimmyTheGiant and he has mentioned several times how he went down the alt right pipeline but started to question things and now makes left leaning content.

But how do you know that some people haven’t changed their views from coming up against counter arguments?

I despise adverts and see them as an attack on my eyes, especially irl.

That said it’s odd that I find the ones in Times Square or Piccadilly Circus (London) quite fascinating when near them. Kind of don’t mind them as they’re concentrated in those areas and well known for them. Just an interesting thought I had.

Genuine question. How do we know they’re not scheming behind the scenes?

Correct. I was hired as a Xmas temp to work the Avenues (accessories) and during that time applied to the Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist and got hired.

As the other person who replied said, this is as Apple Retail / Genius Bar.

When I say I was shit I mean that I’d had no less than 50 jobs at the point I got in at Apple. All dead end jobs where you get treated like crap, paid crap and expect 150% effort. Coupled with ADHD I would just get bored, have shit time keeping and get fired, just not turn up for shifts or just stop going alltogether.

I like to think they hired me because I am good at being a fake extrovert and I am passionate and that must have come across.

I started retail as a Xmas temp for 3 months and during this time applied for the Genius Bar, which lead to all of the information in my original comment.

Happy to answer any more questions though.

They can live vicariously through their kids and to try and make them into the person they never got to be? I don’t actually know.

You’re not wrong 😂

Here they do.

I worked for Apple in the Uk and was almost certainly a DEI hire. Apple is a sought after employer due to how amazing they treated us, the salary, and the progression. Because of this they could be incredibly selective in their hiring. I was a failure in my mid thirties with no experience and no degree.

They didn’t care. They didn’t check references and they just interviewed me and determined for themselves if I was a good fit.

Then whilst working there i had private healthcare and got diagnosed with ADHD. They then supported me whilst I trained to be a software developer and then supported me whilst I looked for a job to leave Apple and go to my new career.

The pay was exceptional and more than any other retail store. The work life balance was incredible and the managers actually cared about us. We got crazy discounts and stock given each year.

I say this with no hyperbole that Apple changed my life for the better. The diverse working environment gave me loads of different perspectives and being surrounded by talented people makes you want to do better yourself.

Sure Apple has a multitude of issues but this isn’t one of them.

It would be interesting to see the results.

Earlier 40’s and I have the opposite opinion on this.
