diskmaster23, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

Not to be mean, but perhaps her work wasn’t that good? Is it possible to have mental health issues and have your work not be good?

SeaJ,

There are appropriate ways to criticize someone’s work. Calling someone’s work “dogshit” does not fall in that category. Furthermore doing nothing about employees groping others or them referring to others as “retard” or “faggot” is fucking disgusting no matter how good or bad her work was.

Ikelton,

I mean yes, that’s certainly possible. But there are business processes to handle performance improvement. There is no excuse to be nasty. Not to mention the sexual harassment, if true, is absolutely illegal.

Even if it was, no one should be talked to that way

theroz, to technology in Madison Reeves on why she left LMG

This sounds like the ramblings of someone lacking certain mental faculties. "I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together. " What? What?

5714,

You have the empathy of a pebble.

theroz,

Great value add. Did you have any input or just here to assert your domineering intelligence? Back to reddit, maybe?

5714,

This sounds like the ramblings of someone lacking certain [“domineering intelligence”].

No, for real, I insulted you, because you did not show any motivation to understand how self-harm works and what Madison R. meant.

theroz,

I’m sorry you feel that way, but we shouldn’t jump on the bandwagon and entertain someone who didn’t do the right thing. You’re the kind of person who sides with the time blindness girl too, I bet. Then you run around accusing others of being insecure. ;)

5714,

I know that I do not know enough about self-harm, but I’m going to say that self-harm is super common (e.g. smoking), glorified, but its effects are at the same time shamed, which makes it difficult for people already facing difficult social situations (e.g. Madison R. at LMG). I don’t condone self-harm. LMG’s workplace toxicity didn’t help.

Derailing is bad talking infrastructure, ADHD exists, TikTok sucks.

Strangle,

This was really weird to read. Self harm like this is normally associated with pretty severe mental illness.

Like what did she think they were going to do if she called in sick? Beat her up? Definitely a strange part of the story.

She probably should have kept that part to herself

theroz,

Exactly.

Then, to combine that tidbit with the rest of the story, well… it just doesn’t seem possible.

I mentioned it on another reply, but I’ll say it here as well. I’m sure that the LTT facilities have camera and audio feeds everywhere. Pretty sure there was an episode about it as well. You mean to tell me that all of this happened in a technology company where everything is auditable? That none of it occurred digitally, where it’s tracked?

This person didn’t go to the police because the story is a fabrication. And they didn’t say anything at the time, because there was likely clear proof of the false claims.

Please, for the love of everything good, do some reading on mental health. You’re way off base.

theroz,

Should I just google, “mental health,” or should I take your word? I’ve worked in Behavioral Health for over a decade.

Who?

xusontha,

Madison was a person chosen for ROG reboot (Asus sponsored LMG to make PCs with people after they made a video explaining why they should get one) and her video was really popular (5th most viewed on LTT channel with 12mil views) and people enjoyed her personality/dynamic. Later, there was a job offering posted for social media manager/coordinator and she ended up getting the job, after that you can read what she says happened (not saying it did, not saying it didn’t, just saying what we do know). She also posted about some of this stuff before I’m pretty sure, but I don’t remember exactly what she said (it was in the same vein as this, but I’m pretty sure this is more in detail though).

phi1997, to PCGaming in Madison on why she quit Linus Tech Tips. (Content Warning: Sexism, Self Harm , Sexual Assault & Harassment)

This is reminding me of the collapse of Channel Awesome. If this goes the same way, LTT will continue to exist but not be as big

@Whiskeyomega @Whiskeyomega i’ve always felt something was off about LTT & avoided their content… good to know I can justifiably continue to do so!

@rolf @Whiskeyomega I Havent watched it in years so I didnt know who Madison was but ive known about the misinformation and bad quality in general has been going on for years and thats why I stopped watching.

Redditgee, to ukraine in [ChrisO_wiki] Leaked memo attributed to former Russian minister reports major shortcomings in the Russian army's equipment

Just going off the first Pic… Idk… That’s not what the average Russian is rocking. I mean, the mp5 isn’t a rifle, it’s a submachine gun, and it’s not even in heavy use by any, anymore. The SCAR is rarely used, too, even in the west, and I don’t know why anyone outside SF would be carrying a SCAR and an mp5. Even then, it’s highly unlikely.

JokerProof,

y used, too, even in the west, and I don’t know why anyone outside SF would be carrying a SCAR and an mp5. Even then, it’s highly unlikely.

First pic is there for illustrative purpose, to show who Dmitri Rogozin is. Added commentaries (in blue) are not from ChrisO_wiki.

Redditgee,

Gotcha, sorry.

MataVatnik, to ukraine in Defense Analyst discusses ATACMS for Ukraine

Just fucking send them

kamikaze, to worldnews in During today’s Regular Press Conference, Chinese MFA spokesman Zhao Lijian released more information about US biological labs in Ukraine.

The claims for weapons being developed in these biolabs were proven false by a lot of news outlets and scientists. It seems like this has become a vapid talking point.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

The claims for weapons being developed in these biolabs have not in fact been proven, and no independent verification ever happened. By proven you must mean US officials saying trust me. Two big questions for you:

If the US wants to prove its innocence, why doesn’t it open up these bio-labs for independent investigations by international experts?

Why does the US insist on being the only country in the world to oppose the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism though it claims to abide by the BWC?

kamikaze,

Yes exactly they have not been proven. We agree. No weapons. Just labs.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

No, we do not agree at all. We don’t know what’s in those labs, and US won’t let independent investigators into these labs. If you don’t understand why that’s a problem what else is there to tell you really.

kamikaze,

We agree completely, I agree with you, that we do not know. However, if you do research on this subject, you can read what independent journalists and scientists have to say and the likelihood of it being any kind of weapons is very low. We agree. You’re just more skeptical and crossing into borderline conspiracy territory by not providing evidence to back up your skepticism. I will happily go into my search history and provide you links of well known scientists discussing this topic if you’d like.

yogthos,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Skepticism doesn’t require evidence. The only party that needs to provide evidence is the US who operate these labs. All the following questions need clear answers:

  • If the international community’s concerns are “disinformation”, why doesn’t the US release detailed materials to prove its innocence?
  • What did they spend the $200 million on?
  • What kind of research was conducted on which pathogens?
  • What kind of sensitive information about public health cannot be shared?
  • Does the Ukrainian side know what the US has been working on in Ukraine?
  • What is it trying to hide when the US Embassy in Ukraine deleted all relevant documents on its website?
  • Why does the US insist on being the only country in the world to oppose the establishment of a multilateral verification mechanism though it claims to abide by the BWC?
  • If the US wants to prove its innocence, why doesn’t it open up these bio-labs for independent investigations by international experts?
