  Someone in my work had this happen to them, but it was the “sick of ads? Pay for premium” advent.

  It could still be part of a deliberate action but that must be the worst advert to try to sneak ads in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what the US have encouraged Taiwan to do. Taiwan wanted to purchase a few incredibly expensive fighters and ship from the USA, but basically all war simulations just had China target these and secure a fast win. The USA instead encourage Taiwan to take the “porcupine” technique, spreading many small weapons, particularly handheld anti-aircraft type weaponry across the country. The plan is to make invasion too inconvenient. The flip side is that without a reliable way to show a display of strength, anywhere the larger aggressor does pick on (USA to UK China to Taiwan) can focus on one part of the country and reliably cause massive damage there.

  The chances of a future where the UK and USA go to war where those military bases aren’t long since gone is nearly impossible.

  I think being assertive and more socially active meaning you’re more likely to be a bully is a bit of a myth. Although the cliché school or work bully may be assertive and socially active, there are many unpopular and awkward people who bully those around them, and it just goes unnoticed.

  Honestly I think their higher upvote / post ratio is a better formula. Most of Lemmy has too little engagement on it’s posts for my tastes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been told by literal Brewdog barstaff that if they know he’s coming, they need to encourage their female staff to either dress moderately or not come in, to minimise his sexual harassment.

  I don’t know how true that is, but the city I’m based in, which is pretty happy to boycott assholes is filled with people who boycott Brewdog.
