Heh, still rules.

I am generally bullish on SpaceX, and I'm quick to forgive mistakes in flight - engines, avionics, control systems, etc - that shit is difficult. But the pad failing is indefensibl…

That's fair, but also, Twitter culture is definitely it's own culture, and I've largely seen quickly slammed out "fuck you"s to be emotionally equivalent to the rolling eyes emoji …

Heh, rules.

I do believe I'm at least attempting good faith here, I just do not find "fuck you" as a tweet, even levelled against me, to be particularly aggressive. Especially such a short mes…

> Of course it is an attack.. I mean the question I was raising was basically, "it's not clear this is an attack?" specifically because it's not "of course" to me. Can you explain …

She wasn't live tweeting her hr warning, her witness was. (Who was likely not a participant in the conversation).

> Or you think you can be obnoxious clown without repercussions? Seems to be working for Elon, tbh.

I disagree, I think of tweets as nothing - air, fluff, someone expressing themselves without thinking. If someone tweets fuck you at me I'm not insulted, it's such a low effort pos…

An internal meeting is a much broader category than "a disciplinary meeting to issue a verbal warning from hr".

You and I roll in very different circles. I've had clients who told me to go fuck myself (and vice versa) without any real damage to our relationship. A New Yorker using the expres…

It's really, really not. Fuck you has a huge range of meaning. Carlin built several comedy bits around the word Fuck specifically because it was used colloquially so many ways.

Those meetings are not disciplinary meetings where your performance is being discussed. Everything in a disciplinary meeting is workplace conditions, full stop. And if hr disagreed…

I have had a different life from you. I've been homeless, I've been wealthy, I've lived in many cultures and communities from suburbs to communes. I've worked tech I've worked as d…

It's rude, sure, but I still fail to see how that rises to the level of attack ? What harm is intended or possible from a comment like that? Are all rude comments attacks?

What's your source for the mocking tone? Is lizthegrey known for tweeting about hr proceedings in a moving tone? Also, what is tweeting if not "speaking publicly"? And what are wor…

There's a great Mike Monteiro talk about contracting titled, "Fuck you; Pay me", so yes, it's not unheard of at all.

So, free speech doesn't extend to criticism of the government? People should lose their jobs because they said mean words on Twitter?

Can women be brony's?

"Fuck you" has so many different tones, and is so ubiquitous. It can be playful, jocular, intense, deadly serious, all over the place. Fuck you is not, by default, a personal attac…

You are allowed to discuss workplace conditions. That's like, protected concerted activity 101. If the business was uncomfortable with their treatment of their employees being publ…

My bad, misunderstood

Is saying "the blood never washes off" the hands of this DoD employee really a personal attack? I mean, it certainly seems like a consistent and reasonably widely held belief that …

Oh I get it, I just think it's naive. I've read dune several times over the past 40 years, and the person I was in my youth would have agreed with you. These days, not so much. I b…

There are three primary antitrust laws, only one of them focuses on monopoly power in the way you describe. The Clayton and FTC acts are broader.
