America is hardly the worst threat that china has most of their worst problems are internal ones. Not external.
I wish we could be the America in Chinese propaganda the reality is far more depressing

The guy in the hat there looks as if he's supposed to be lying quietly inside a pyramid. Just saying.

That's a pretty big thing on the modern transhumanist technocrats. They want you to be fashioned into a servile cattle. In Deus Ex Human Revolution its the entire plot. Augmentation is making humanity too good and the Illuminati are afraid of losing control, so they set a false flag to make sure only the special elites are allowed to be augmented.

Not quite a meme yet but if it keeps trending I fully expect this guy's going to be turned into one. Seriously, must watch to believe.
People wonder why we need a union at Starbucks. I am literally about to quit. Like, I don't know if I'm going to do it but I really want to. I almost walked out today, and I'm crying in the back room right now and I almost crawled on the floor. It's just... I'm like a full-time student I get scheduled for 25 hours a week and on weekends they schedule me the entire day, open to close, that's scheduled for eight and a half hours, both Saturday and Sunday.
I'm like, three and a half hours into my shift and there's so many customers and we have, like, four people on the floor all day. Five people were scheduled and one had to call out so there's four people running the store and there's so many customers and they scheduled five people! There's only thirteen people working at this store and there's so many customers!
We don't have fair scheduling and they don't care about us and the manager was supposed to come in this weekend but he took himself off the schedule so he wouldn't be held accountable for calling in. He just tore down the schedule with him on it and put up a new schedule where he wasn't on the schedule so you couldn't see he'd ever been on the schedule so he couldn't be held accountable for not wanting to come in.
They don't want to help us. We need a union because this can't happen. It can't happen. We need fair scheduling, we need managers to be held accountable for helping their workers they are needed for mobile orders and we need to be able to turn those on because there's so many mobile orders and then people are yelling at me because I don't have their orders ready and I don't know what to do. And a customer was misgendering me today, like, really badly when I didn't have their order ready so they were like, calling [gibberish] said she's clearly incompetent. I have a full mustache and beard! What the F$%^&! I don't get accommodations for being neurodivergent, I don't get enough sick time, I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm at my wits end with this job.
At some level, I can actually feel for the guy as yeah, it's a crappy job and doing customer service isn't easy, especially when you're serving latte liberals like Starbucks customers. But this guy is crying and crawling on the floor because he had to work 25 hours in one week and an 8.5 hour shift on the weekends. I put myself through college the same way (Grocery store, not Starbucks) working full-time and pulling shifts where I worked from 6AM until midnight, then got up at 6AM for my next weekend shift on weekends. That let me get over half my 50-hour work-week done on the weekend so that I could hit my other goals after school on weekdays. And I did bitch about the hours quite a bit to my friends but I never crawled on the floor crying. I just can't work up enough sympathy for him to cover this kind of weakness.
As his crying over being misgendered is just sad. Maybe if your customer base hadn't worked so hard to blur the lines between men and women, and there weren't so many "women" will full beards walking around, it wouldn't be so hard for people to guess you were a "guy." Unfortunately, they draw on social cues now so having a mental breakdown and crying because there're too many customers and you had to work on the weekend is gonna make them think you're a woman these days.

I have ZERO sympathy.
You are supposed to be adulting. Act like one.
Tie your shoe laces, pull your pants up, tighten your belt, and grow a pair.
I can understand being upset at the manager pulling what they did, if they actually need the manager for mobile orders.
However the 'misgendering' bit completely gutted my sympathy for this tranny trash.

the brony fandom makes me sad. I watched the show and it was good. genuinely it got me through a pretty dark spot in my life by reminding me that some things are good and wholesome. unfortunately the fandom was very determined to undermine that. thankfully most have moved on at this point.

Yeah, there's a few reasonable complaints in there, but it's buried under so much inconsequentiality and the sobbing and crying over being misgendered just makes it ridiculous.
Incidentally it's getting memed already and here's our first parody, courtesy of comedic genius Tyler Fischer:
I like to bring up the Brony fandom whenever people start talking about how the patriarchy and white cishet heteronormative men can find people who look like themselves on TV while their 85-adjective snowflake can't.
Like, so? People enjoy watching characters who don't look exactly like themselves. Millions love to watch ponies. Chicago's mayor is probably capable of watching a movie that isn't Beetlejuice.
Depends on the job.
It would truly suck for him for a bit but after awhile he would most likely mature.

My local arbies had staffing troubles so bad that at one point I met a manage from another store coming by to close the store because nobody showed up and the local manager quit.

If the Starbucks Snowflake tries to make a Union he will be "let go" and replaced by either a Illegal or another broke college kid. Of a Union does happen though no worries, Starbuck HR has it covered. Kreshawnda Washington and Emmanuel Goldstein will be the chairpeople and spend their time in efforts to ensure Starbucks workforce is "diverse" and "equitable" and ensure people have workshops on DEI. Higher wages? Benefits? Hmmm yikes sweaty don't you realize how privileged you are?
