The randomly nothing thread

I am sorry to hear that. Seems like a bad deal quite honestly.

How much is the solicitor taking?

Sorry to hear that anyway mate. Have you had any counciling that could act as proof?

Yeah they organised a Councillor for me to assess me, she decided I was mentally shit before. Even though my life took an absolute nose dive immediately afterwards… lifes good now but that year and a half was rough.

The Councillor that i paid for refused to hand over notes and then ignored calls and letters.

Just frustrating when you see it in the news all these twats suing for such bullshit reasons.

The company or the solicitors? If it was the company that was probably their way of stitching you up unfortunately. A second opinion could help and I’m wondering if reporting the other councilor is possible.

Sorry to hear that, is there a union you could take this up with?

I’m self employed buddy, the company covered their tracks as much as possible and I get left alone…but whatever its expected I guess :wink:

That’s insane because I know people who have got more for suffering no damage in a car accident which wasn’t even close to being fatal.

Just goes to show how messed the system can be at times.

What a shit one smh. Glad to hear you’ve recovered but that’s shit.

Youtube takes down chess video, quite possibly for saying ‘White is better than black in this position’

It very dangerous to have the vast majority of online space policed by tiny subset american leftists based in silicon valley.

Silicon Valley are filled with Neo-Cons. This is a computer program that pulled his content, not a person

Is this a serious statement?

Who designed the code for the algorithm?

Would probably be more accurate to say that they are liberals rather than leftists in Silicon Valley? I don’t think many powerful people running businesses based in silicon Valley are actually leftists given their views on the economy etc. Being woke about identity politics doesn’t immediately make you a leftist, and if your economic thoughts don’t align with those generally seen on the left, you’re probably a liberal.

These instances are not deliberate. They will certainly create algorithm to clamp down on hate speech but sometimes it affects normal videos.
There is no perfect algorithm out there.

The alignment and internal operation of the business lean towards left generally imo. Even then the concept of a “liberal” in the US has been distorted from it’s original interpretation. Liberals don’t believe in censorship, monopolies and centralization.

The middle managers and the technicians lean heavily to the left

Yep, we’re talking about the ultra rich here bordering on Oligarchs. Zuckerberg is allowing political adverts full of lies on his facebook platform which benefits Trump/Republicans. In many ways allowing such propoganda is anti-democratic. And then there is the tollerance of the far right:

I dunno… for me, if you don’t support leftist economics or semblance of it, you aren’t really left wing. Economics has traditionally been the defining feature of being left wing. Being woke about identity politics is isn’t enough to make someone left wing in my opinion. But I don’t know as much about Silicon Valley as you or others might do, so perhaps I don’t know what I’m talking about here.

The actual people who design code, operate the business and middle managers overwhelmingly lean to left in varying degrees. Zuckerberg is just the “face” for shareholders.

The default position of any entity claiming to be a “platform” leans toward freedom of speech. You may not like what is said and it may be full of lies but it’s not the role of Facebook to police free speech and expression.

In all other media formats it’s illegal to lie in political adds because it circumvents democracy. Political Adds should be held to a higher standard. Arguably some adds could be considered as libelous. Facebook has somehow got a loophole which means they break rules other media does not.

Monopolies and mergers should also be all over breaking up Amazon and Facebook given their size and relative monopoly

Also how is standing up against fascist rhetoric left wing now? It was the position of all Republicans pre-Trump

90s sketch show about Harry Enfield having his gay son and partner home and the his issues with it. I’m not sure whether it’s PC or not by modern standards. Although I think the joke is more on the old man than on the couple
