Reddit is a land of contrasts. There were and probably are shitty subreddits whose stench would linger for days, but their shittiness generally remains well contained, and if you don't go near them or adjacent forums, you can remain oblivious to their existence.
Kind of. Making fun of workplace racial sensitivity training by comparing it to situations where there isn't an historic power imbalance is a genre of diet racist humor that I'm getting pretty tired of. Sorry but that's simply inaccurate.
Or as accurate as saying, "there are shitty Facebook forums but their shittiness remains well contained". Yes the pervasive bigotry on Reddit is probably more obvious if you happen to publicly state you're a member of a minority group, or if you engage in any discussion involving politics, gender, race, or religion.
Sorry that was an xpost acb. Zixyer thank you, I had forgotten about diet racism. No doubt that is the most common form of bigotry on Reddit since they finally cleaned up the worst actual alt-right magnet subreddits, after giving them a free pass to brigade, harass, and overtly manipulate their algorithms site-wide for years.
Sometimes a cat is just a cat. Good lord. Jean has a nice cat bed with her name on it, while Jorts has chosen an old boot tray in my office with a towel in it.
Recently a visitor put wet boots in the boot tray and Pam saw Jorts sleeping on the wet boots. I bought a bed for Jorts today and a name tag has been ordered. I could see a sensitive person wanting a more respectful environment for Jorts, no matter how badly they expressed it.
The fact that no one bothered to get a bed for him stands out particularly to me. Is that "good lord" at me? In a discussion where we are pretty clearly untangling the context of prejudice which informs the "just a cat"? If so that's insensitive at best. Counterpoint: some of us seemingly sensible folks have nowhere else to go for our community needs.
Also trash. See previous. I was a Reddit mod for nearly 5 years, I've seen the absolute worst of the platform. But I've also been able to access and manage my medical transition thanks to the knowledge and kindness of the trans subreddits.
I've found friends and support there. Much like any other online or even offline space, using it requires me to look aside from or tolerate things I shouldn't have to, but that doesn't mean I require a in How Reddit Is Bad. I know it's bad. We all know it's bad.
The world is bad. But we find the good things anyway. Odds are pretty good that an update to the update about workplace improvements to cat bed opportunities will involve Jorts continuing to sleep in the boot tray and ignoring other options. We had an orange Maine Coon.
You could look into his eyes and see the fiendish wheels turning. Smartest cat we ever had. I feel bad for Jean, who probably enjoyed the margarine. To me, this all sounds like the setup for a workplace sitcom.
I've had 3 orange cats so far, two boys and one girl. OK, so the girl was more a stereotypical mean girl who none the less was a huge cuddlebug.
She was an incredibly smart, patient and able mouser. She was always on the lookout for the other cat, who was pure fey to be fair, playing tricks on her. Of the boys, one was similarly pretty clever, and always able to turn a situation to his advantage, especially when it involved food.
He could keep time to the minute as well. Kind of uncanny. His brother though, who is less than 3 metres from me right now, is the sweetest himbo I have ever known. Beautiful, caring, brainless. Such are cats. They are their own individuals first last and always.
I have only ever applied butter to them once or twicea bit on the nose when they were bugging us for pancakes. Old Finn loved it of course, Rory was just confused by it. Any AITA has to be suspected of being fiction, and this may also be, but I think we can all agree that Jorts is an amazing cat name. To be fair to orange cats, my household orange tabby Miles is a very good cat who, were he any smarter, would be a huge pain in the ass.
He's a pretty good communicator most of the time, and has shown a level of patience with my stepson as he passed through his tweens and into his teens that qualifies him for kitty sainthood. Pam is NOT to apply margarine to any of her coworkers. This is where I truly lost it with laughter. However, this particular case does not seem to be going down that road at all. HR's response to the coworker is to say "This isn't racism, and it's troubling that you're comparing this trivial thing to something that serious.
OP doesn't turn around and declare that they were being racist toward a cat, but they do recognize real and valid concerns their coworker did have, and they describe what they're doing to fix the situation. Real workplace issues are not blamed on oversensitivity, political correctness, or any such. I went a short way down the comments on both Reddit posts and didn't see any descent into the sort of vile commenting that certainly can proliferate on Reddit. I don't know if it was there, just lower down than I went, or if the mods are doing a really good job here.
His intelligence was immediately put into question when he was given the name Jorts. People and animals grow into names that are granted to them. Only if the box the bed comes in is not made available. I love this so much!!! I found out the hard way that some people have extremely good reasons to not be in buildings with dogs.
I've come to the conclusion that the story is at least partly made up. Surely a modern person would use butter or a vegan alternative, but not margarine. Nancy Lebovitz : " I've come to the conclusion that the story is at least partly made up. I remember. US-based Pams especially stopped rubbing lard on cats due to a really successful lobbying campaign by vegetable shortening sources. Pro tip: You don't need to buy vegetable shortening!
If you need them to be shorter you can just cut them up posted by oulipian at PM on December 15 [ 23 favorites ]. Cat-buttering has a long, superstitious tradition. This is all rolled gold. I think I would very much like my next cat to be a big, ol' doofus of an orange tabby and I think I might name him Sweet Potato.
The first feral cat colony I lived near was almost all orange cats, and the mama cats ruled the roost, so I was very taken aback to learn that female mamies are in the minority. Siamese and related breeds are book-smart, more than they are street-smart. Longhairs are emotionally needy. My late much missed ginger was an enormous dumb brawler who routinely beat up dogs 10 times his size if they got in his face long enough ago that we still let cats outside.
He definitely fit the mode of one synapse though. But because of him all three of my kids' first word was cat and he was infinitely gentle and snuggly with them until they were big enough to be taught manners.
We were sure he thought he was a lion. This thread was so delightful - useful HR, remarkably little jerky behavior in the Reddit thread. Just what was needed. Finley has never drooled. Remy would like a moment to disabuse you of that notion. I had a tiny runt ginger tom who was smart enough except when it came to judging his odds in a fight, he got that wrong every time. I miss him. Our big dumb orange cat was Oboe. He would yowl and yowl at the front door to be let in, then run directly to the back door and yowl until we let him out He would also disappear occasionally for a few days at a time and we eventually discovered that he had a number of families he would rotate through for a day or so at a time before returning home, and had every dog within a two block radius terrified.
He was a big ol' loveable doofus. Now on Twitter: JortsTheCat not verified? I'm not on Reddit but based on this screenshot shared on twitter, OP confirmed they started the account. Simon of Simon's Cat weighs in. Take a look at the link in jocelmeow's comment , which cites a book from the late s. The Distaff Gospels recommends buttering your good cat that you want to keep around on all four of its legs and its nose.
And a couple of contempoary commenters say their older relatives did about the same thing for exactly the same reason. In my experience, cats are very nervous in houses marked by previous cats even when the previous cat is no longer there. It seems likely that this cat-buttering was a trick to block the cats ability to sniff out prior marking until it was comfortable and well-established.
Can confirm. My late Burmese cat was very smart, being able to figure out not only how to open doors by swinging on the handles but also that aluminium foil on which meat had been grilled can be dragged to a water bowl to extract the flavour.

If you can imagine systems logging site search queries, browser user-agent strings, failed login attempts, and other visitor and customer-supplied stuff, and that this text can be weaponized to achieve code execution in the backend, you can appreciate how attractive this hole is for crooks and fraudsters. The vulnerability has been generally dubbed Log4Shell.
On December 9, in response to Zhaojun's findings, version 2. This should be installed as a priority, or one of the mitigations considered if you can't update right now. Proof-of-concept code to abuse the insecure logging library also spread across the web. This makes this whole situation dangerous because the code is so prevalent, it is easy to exploit, and there is plenty of working example attack code out there while many systems remain unpatched.
The flaw is rated 10 out of 10 in terms of severity. System admins as well as developers may be tempted to use one of the available proof-of-concept exploits to see if their applications, and their numerous dependencies, use the logging library and are therefore vulnerable to the flaw — and that's not a terrible idea at all.
However, bear in mind that it's quite possible those exploiting services out in the wild are also patching Log4j after the initial compromise to keep other miscreants out. Thus, you should consider auditing your code, and installing updates from vendors, as well as look for indicators of compromise and signs that the software has been patched by an intruder.
For now, the infosec industry is mainly sounding the alarm and telling the world that a Very Bad Thing has come to light — with many taking the opportunity to push their own security defense products, we couldn't help but note.
So far, the vuln is seemingly mostly being used to install crypto-mining bots on servers amid scans for at-risk devices, though it's early days yet. Bitdefender said its honeypot network had seen an increase in scans from "Russia-based IP addresses," which as a bare fact on its own means little; anyone can route their web traffic through a Russia-based node, with some occasionally doing so for fun and profit.
Sophos warned that cryptocoin-mining botnets are one of the more popular post-exploit payloads it's seeing as a result of successful Log4j compromises. The firm said in a blog post that botnets "focus on Linux server platforms, which are particularly exposed to this vulnerability.
For example: any software developed in-house. Finding all systems that are vulnerable to Log4Shell should be a priority for IT security. Sophos also warned of Log4j-related attempts to steal AWS private keys. For its part, Amazon Web Services' security arm published what it says is a hotpatching utility for Log4j. Various infosec companies have started live blogs or rapidly updated posts with mitigation information, including Randori one of the first Western companies to publish detailed information about the remote code execution hole as well as Trend Micro and others.
Microsoft published its own Log4j exploitation prevention advice , saying it has mostly seen "mass scanning by attackers attempting to thumbprint vulnerable systems, as well as scanning by security companies and researchers. Redmond said: "An example pattern of attack would appear in a web request log with strings like the following:".
Like with previous big scary bugs, Log4Shell has a website, a hastily drawn logo, tons of headlines, and probably a three-book publication deal and a movie.
Does it deserve all this excitement? Well, that depends on how fast you patch. Version 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in.
The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. This contributed to 23 per cent of TSMC's total wafer revenue in the quarter, while those made using its 7nm process accounted for a further 27 per cent.
