    It depends where you live. But it does majorly suck when you end up needing to change your kid in a place that doesn’t have it in the men’s bathroom (I’m a dude). Hell, it happened to me over the holidays when I went out with extended family that was visiting to a nice restaurant. I was changing my daughter’s dirty diaper on the stupid little countertop area in the bathroom that had all the concierge type amenities. I just pushed all that crap into the corner to make room and one of the staff came in and gave me a look and I just commented they should install a proper changing station in the men’s bathroom in the future.










  • The company should be doing more to support these employees, that’s the point. Right now, Meta doesn’t give a fuck if their employees are getting severely traumatized trying to keep content off their platforms. They don’t pay them much, don’t offer resources for mental health, etc. A maybe bad analogy would be like a construction company having no heavy machinery safety policies and when those employees get hurt and can’t work anymore, just firing them with no worker’s comp.

    For comparison, hospitals or law enforcement provide therapy and/or other mental health resources for their employees, since those jobs put their employees in potentially traumatic positions with some frequency (e.g. a doctor/nurse witnessing death a lot).






  • That’s the circlejerk effect for ya. It’s also hard to discern people’s tone online, so some people may interpret a genuine question as something insincere. Not like it really matters though, points aren’t worth anything haha

    Anyway, I wouldn’t be so sure he’d fold and backtrack on unpopular policy. He rarely did during his first term, and there were many very unpopular things he did.

    Personally, I’m of the view that if Trump is implementing any economic policies like this, it’s going to be making him money directly and/or indirectly. So if that’s his ulterior motive in this context, he won’t care how unpopular it is until he extracts whatever amount of money he wanted out of it. Then, once he or his allies have made their money, they’ll roll back the policy and play it off like he had a change of heart and his bullshit PR outlets will spin it as him having some grand plan all along…
