Trafficking 201: Systems and Management
Just noticed, even the logo reeks of petty swindle.
Is there an obvious technical reason why the major email services (Outlook, gmail, etc) can't seem to limit recipients from Replying-All?
Why not just have an easy button that you can click saying Do Not Allow Reply All?
I know that there are some ways you can limit reply-all availability, like in the URL linked here. But there's a note: If recipients open this email in other mail applications except Microsoft Outlook, such as opening on web page via web mailbox, they can reply all this email.
I'm semi-tech savvy but I'm no programmer. It feels like it should be easy to do, so either I'm totally wrong or email services are really missing out on a great thing they could do.
Mobilize.
According to the caption (Getty Images, Max Whittaker), I guess so!
I think it's revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).
Make America Shitty Again!
In a witness statement read out to the court on his behalf, Mr Farage said: “The cup hit me directly in my face … liquid went all over me.”
Giving details from her police interview, prosecutor Nishma Shah told the court: “She acknowledges that this was an assault and that the liquid would have gone over the jackets of him and others and caused them to get cleaning, but she states that Nigel would be able to afford this.
Previously, during a campaign walkabout in Newcastle in 2019, Mr Farage had a banana and salted caramel milkshake thrown at him. “Milkshaking” – the act of dousing public figures in a milkshake – was officially recognised by Collins Dictionary the same year.
Wow he's caused a trend.
Why does a Department of Efficiency need 2 guys to run it?

Everyone knows Republicans in the US aren't held accountable for what they said in plain English.
Apparently, America's economy seems to be driven only by fear or greed
Historically, President Trump has never taken blame for anything - only credit.
Does anyone even buy anything because of these stupid ads?
Trump is unaccountable, that's apparently his identity. It doesn't matter if he did say or didn't say anything.
Below average? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Agreed. Also, we all have to keep in mind the election only showed us what roughly 42% of Americans think (based on 142,687,398 votes, out of US population of 337,382,131). That means there's still plenty people who have yet to join the fight. There's always hope!
A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?
This ability of the sorcerer will wipe any one song of your choosing from the pages of history, as if it never existed! Gone from our reality. They were going to do it anyway, but they're making you choose.
Which song would you pick?
(If you really can't narrow it down to one, then try narrowing to three)

What are the Top 3 TV Shows that define your (personal) youth?
Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Australia is the latest country to give workers the 'right to disconnect' after hours
The law doesn't strictly prohibit employers from calling or messaging their workers after hours. But it does protect employees who "refuse to monitor, read or respond to contact or attempted contact outside their working hours, unless their refusal is unreasonable," according to the Fair Work Commission, Australia's workplace relations tribunal.
That includes outreach from their employer, as well as other people "if the contact or attempted contact is work-related."
"If it was an emergency situation, of course people would expect an employee to respond to something like that," Watt said. "But if it's a run-of-the-mill thing … then they should wait till the next work day, so that people can actually enjoy their private lives, enjoy time with their family and their friends, play sport or whatever they want to do after hours, without feeling like they're chained to the desk at a time when they're not actually being paid, because that's just not fair."
The Australian Council of Trade Unions hailed the new law as a "cost-of-living win for working people," especially those in industries like teaching, community services and administrative work.
The right to disconnect, it said, will not only cut down on Australians' unpaid work hours but also address the "growing crisis of increasing mental health illness and injuries in modern workplaces."
Black Myth: Wukong Devs Told Streamers to Avoid Politics in Their Playthroughs. It Backfired
The Chinese studio granted early access on the condition that topics like “feminist propaganda” and “Covid-19” go unmentioned. What followed is the Streisand effect in full force.

“I feel that it only served to bring more attention on Game Science’s culture of sexism,” linktothepabst says. “All they had to do was let the game speak for itself, but it came off, to me, like an own goal, effectively stoking the flames between the people who were using this game as weapon against ‘wokeness in games’ and those who can level-headedly either enjoy the game and criticize GS or just ignore the game altogether.”
It’s the Streisand effect in full force: Try to hide something, and it becomes all the more visible. “Nobody was going to bring up Chinese politics unprompted,” Zhong says, “but the topic was there as soon as they released those guidelines.”
What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with?
One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?
The army tries to restore order after Sheikh Hasina, the country’s “iron lady”, escapes
On the afternoon of August 5th, televisions in Bangladesh broadcast images of a helicopter rising from the residence of Sheikh Hasina, the country’s prime minister until minutes before. The chopper was carrying her and her sister “to safety”. Shortly afterwards images appeared of gleeful protesters entering the prime minister’s residence, lounging in her bed and making off with pets and furniture. Others were filmed dancing in the streets of Dhaka. In an address to the nation, General Waker-uz-Zaman, the army chief, confirmed that Sheikh Hasina had resigned and said he would form an interim government. One of the world’s wiliest autocrats, and its longest-serving female head of government, she had been summarily dispatched by angry citizens. “She is a blood-sucker, a monster for us, for the young people,” said a protester. “She destroyed Bangladesh.”
Started from students, then a mass of citizens, who eventually pushed back and managed to actually kick her out.
A 17-year-old vocational school student from rural China becomes a celebrity on social media after reaching the final round of a maths competition, beating many others from top universities and raising questions about the education system.
>A 17-year-old vocational school student from rural China has become a celebrity on social media after reaching the final round of a maths competition, beating many others from top universities and raising questions about the education system.
>Most expressed their amazement, while some questioned if it was real. While it was unclear how Ms Jiang ended up in vocational school, her story still reminded some in China of the inequality between rural and urban areas and how that can make it harder for even talented students to climb the economic ladder.
>"While Jiang Ping is openly celebrated, many Chinese feel deep down inside that her story highlights the hopelessness of Chinese education," said Jiang Xueqin, a China-based education researcher.
When was a time you consented to spoilers for a movie/tv/story/game and you regretted it?
BEFORE CONTINUING, PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL POTENTIALLY BE ALL KINDS OF SPOILERS BELOW IF THEY ARE NOT HIDDEN By participating, you are consenting to spoilers you might come to regret :)
There's a spoiler-hiding button on Lemmy but since this discussion is about spoilers, I'm not sure how useful it will be.
Does any time in your memory particularly stand out as a truly regrettable spoiler?
examples:
- warned of a Spoiler Alert while scrolling on YT comments or threads, but clicked anyway. You regretted it.
- watched weekly-released shows with friends and you weren't caught up but needed to know what happened before you watched it, and you regretted it.
- haven't seen the movie, thought you weren't going to, you spoiled it for yourself by finding out the plot, and came around to watching the movie and thought to yourself "It would've hit better if I didn't know before hand".
- podcaster gave a spoiler alert, you proceeded to ignore it, you regretted ignoring it.
It's such a specific feeling of regret, so I am curious how others' experiences were and how they compare.
For me,
spoiler
I keep spoiling myself with the show Bleach, reading into the lore and finding out info before actually chronologically watching it (TV)/ reading it in the manga. I come to regret it when I didn't experience the creator's (Tite Kubo) work myself first, then follow up with reading into it for background info. In the earlier part of the series I didn't spoil myself and I feel it was a richer experience because of it.
Also sometimes I listen to "Get Played" which is a podcast about gaming, where they frequently enter "spoiler country" and I love to hear them talk so I get my cowboy hat on and follow them in. I regret it only part of the time.
