MountingSuspicion

The IOC stopped accepting IBA decisions like this because they are a corrupt organization. The IBA never provided that information and we don't have confirmation of that, but by disqualifying her, a title was restored to a Russian athlete and they had made Russia's gas company a main sponsor of the IBA. I'm not saying I know anyone's chromosomal makeup, but I wish people would stop stating it as a fact. She could have it or not, but we do not know.

Before anyone claims Russophobia or whatever, not all Russian organizations or people are corrupt, but it's well agreed that it was a poorly run organization with a lot of problems. For what it's worth I'd be suspect of any country in that position. Sports are a big point of national pride and monetary gain, and people should be wary of any decisions affecting pride or money, regardless of the circumstances.

I think it is showing what you are saved as in the other persons phone. There are ones where the guy presumably saved a girls number but she didn't bother to save his and another where the girl saved him as do not answer. I think the point is so you can see how the other person views you. These are mostly joke features and the feature you mentioned is pretty standard now.

I have never had a bad experience with an early access game. I generally only buy early access games from indie studios I am already familiar with, and have never purchased an early access AAA game. I genuinely enjoyed the early access aspect of several games, playing them through different stages in development extends the playtime in my opinion. Every new update feels like free DLC, but the game I purchased felt complete already. In my opinion, early access is far better than kickstarter for games, since at least there is a game you are purchasing and gameplay footage is publicly available, but sometimes these are legitimately the only ways to fund a game.

The issue is that the criticism is generally not valid. If you're criticizing a colleague for poor time management because they legitimately have poor time management, fine, whatever. It's not something I would do, but there may be cases in which that is done. In the context of this meme, it is likely not the individuals fault that they are overworked. It is likely a systemic failure that foists too many tasks on each individual worker. Generally, the people "bragging" about working additional hours are not poor performing employees, but people that are dedicated to their job or the company, and believe that the additional hours will help them advance their careers. Approaching it from a place of "if you are a good worker, they should treat you better, not worse" rather than shaming the individual is most likely to help them see the issue with that sentiment. Also, I'm pretty sure it was just a spelling error, but just to be clear I believe this is anti-worker, not anti-work.

Shame is not as effective as offering support, especially since the root cause of the behavior is not necessarily in the persons control. Working additional hours might be seen as a requirement in some fields, so you might be shaming them into not talking about the issue, but the best way to actually solve the problem would likely be to empathize with them and change their perspective.

If someone is in an abusive relationship and they mention the abuse to someone, shaming them for being in that relationship and subjecting themselves to that behavior is unlikely to fix anything. Offering them compassion and support and safe alternatives is demonstrably more effective. Shame is likely to make them more defensive about their choices or stop talking about the abuse they suffer entirely, especially if the issue is not entirely in their control. I think similar behavior and responses would be elicited in the case of working relationships as well. 

Appreciate you adding that last sentence, but ideally no one would work more even for additional pay. People need time to recuperate and enjoy life and in the current system often just getting by requires overtime pay. I've worked in both types of positions, and though I'm glad overtime and holiday pay exist in our current system, often the people working more or over the holidays are the most desperate or marginalized.

I think the OP sentiment was directed towards salaried workers because I've basically never heard hourly workers talk about it in this way or context. I think the reason salaried employees brag about long hours is largely due to the fact that they might not be getting additional compensation so are at least trying to get social capital in exchange for their time.

"Not normalizing" comes in many forms and this one seems hostile to fellow workers. Approaching it from a place of empathy is far more likely to help than a place of blame. It's not the workers fault. It's a systemic problem and the first step to helping someone realize that is to open their eyes to the fact that they are struggling for no reason other than that the institution demands it, not that they are the problem.

The fact that you suggest it's a cultural issue and then state it can be rectified by organizing is exactly my point. This person is essentially shaming the individual worker for falling prey to a cultural and systemic problem.

I never said we need a socialist revolution. In this context I left system open ended, but you can't effectively organize anything with people you're hostile to and unwilling to build solidarity with. I don't think a socialist revolution is likely or even necessary, but more empathy is. The OP sentiment is not foreplay, it's outright rejection. It seems like we are actually in agreement.

Is the slave comment supposed to imply that I might be working more than I should? I'm literally saying it's a bad thing that it happens but we should be sympathetic to people who don't yet realize that and show them that they are being exploited. I don't see how this is funny, as there is no punchline or set up or anything. I don't think everyone needs to agree about comedy but I was sharing my opinion on this sentiment.
