That doesn't sound like a naturally tenable position for a whale. The bowl of petunias, however...

I saw the post in c/technology and the title was incredibly misleading. It's a fitting example of a misleading title where it's not worth clicking into the article to find out more.

Speaking his name less doesn't change the fact that he is currently an influential person. We shouldn't hide from talking about bad leaders, we should remember the bad choices that have been made and learn from our mistakes in history in the hopes that we can learn from those past mistakes.

That's why some people have been modifying their comments entirely (and then deleting them).

And even if one of them decides it's real (after giving you a good beating):

They realized he did, in fact, have his green card, but questioned whether it was real.

"'I don't know, maybe it's fake' … The other guy says, 'No, it's real' … That's when they finally stopped"

They'll threaten to do what they can to get it revoked just so they can come back for you:

"Do you think you're a big shot just because you have a green card? I'll make sure they revoke that green card of yours," Reyes said, recalling what agents told him. "'I'm going to do everything I can to get this paper revoked,' an immigration officer told me."

"Original"... except at least the video in this article doesn't have vertical video syndrome where the sides are cropped out. The quality is definitely lacking though.

When it comes to the economy, capitalism with a heavy dose of regulation is the best option we have right now.

Attempts at communism have failed miserably and just led to dictatorships.

Unless you're proposing something better than either of those?

Ok, I think I found it then:

How do you respond to the idea that the new path is much more difficult for neurodivergent individuals to use?

Respectfully, I personally do not agree with this criticism, even though I've heard it before. Anecdotal evidence is one thing, but even in this thread there are a lot of neurodivergent individuals who prefer the path.

How do you feel about the criticism of the new path in terms of overall user experience?

We read it all, and have made a number of changes based on the feedback. However, as I said above the new path is better for usage and we also believe it is on average better for learning, since the in the previous layout people spent a lot of time redoing the lessons they already knew only to extend their streak or compete in the leaderboards, while in the new path the vast majority of lessons actually teach people.

What do you think about the decline in stock value since the new path was implemented? Or is the timeframe too short for you to draw meaningful conclusions?

I like the conspiracy theory :) Given that all metrics are equal or better in the new path, I can't imagine this is related (the stock market has been doing weird things in the last several months, especially for tech companies).

I looked through a few pages worth of his comments (in English and Spanish) and I didn't pick up on that. Was there a particular response you were thinking about, or might it have been something that is now deleted?

My favorite use of the "speak to a manager" trick is to use it in cases where an employee has gone above and beyond. I want their manager to recognize that they've got a great employee.

Damn, that is a sweet Earth.

I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized that @stepan@lemmy.cafe is probably referring to the bottom comment in the image.
