I'm not comparing the protests. I'm comparing the police response.

You said:

> Police going door to door in NSW/VIC investigating protestors against lockdowns months after they have occurred.

Police are not going door to door. So, that part is inaccurate.

Police are investigating someone suspected of an offence. It's hardly unusual for it to take police months to conduct investigations.
> The sense that I don't get enough socialization via work is a serious symptom that I need to nurture real friendships and communities in life.

This is precisely the take I get from all the comments on how WFH supposedly causes social isolation. WFH causes nothing of the sort: people simply seem to be socially isolated by default but relied on work and office life to fill in their personal socialization void.

I've noticed the same thing regarding health and sedentarism: if you rely on your commute to the office to do any form of physical exercise then you already have a major problem, and what your blaming WFH for is just a problem that was already there to begin with.

People have personal needs, and it's simply not healthy to fool ourselves into believing that office life is the solution to meeting each and all of those personal needs.

No, I just watched him make that point repeatedly over the last several specials, notably including this one in the DaBaby bit.
Here in the US I had good experience curbside with Home Depot. Walmart, on the other hand, never seems to have enough staff in a store to manage get a product in any way in a reasonable amount of time.

My online experience with both is pretty good. Walmart can't quite figure out how to pack anything, and their website's inventory management looks like an excel spreadsheet uploaded by an intern, but it comes on time and usually isn't broken.
That depends on what year you were born and whether you got into the property market or not (again, depending on what year).

There is a very large gap between the haves and have not's in terms of property wealth.

It's a strange situation here. A 25 year old on 150k p/a will have major difficulty getting into the property market because owner investors, who bought in a couple of decades ago (or even a decade ago!) are reaping major benefits with regards to lending and tax policy.

The so called 'good' life is not enjoyed by the majority, but by a certain cohort of property owners.

Overall, as we'd say, it's 'not too bad', though.
I certainly will, and I hope I can follow up with good news. This has been the worst experience of my life. A) Because people believe I did and said things that I've always opposed B) Because no one gives me enough of a chance to show that it wasn't me. Thanks for the message.
Thanks raphlinus and walterbell for surfacing the Oklahoma reinfection report. It is the first time I see epi data on this topic from a credible source. A couple of interesting points:

* Sept 2021 reinfection / breakthrough ratio is 1.96

* Sept 2021 / May 2021 breakthrough rate shows almost 15x growth in 5 months. During the same period reinfection rate also grew, but only by 3x. I presume this is related to the raise of Delta.
I doubt you are on a list. This is just a thing in the back of your mind that is haunting you. Not exactly the easiest environment to find a job these days, given its all via zoom and all.

What I recommend is different. Practice your zoom skills, record yourself in mock interviews to see how you look over zoom, and work on that.

Cancel culture is stupid, and we only make it a thing, if we make it a thing. It won't last 2 generations and society will be sick of it and will have moved on.
I’ve never had an employer request academic records after working at multiple FAANG companies — except perhaps right out of college, but I’m not sure even then.

Unless you’re applying for a job that’s high-profile (like VP or C-suite), or in a highly regulated industry, I wouldn’t expect this.

Plus you can probably contact your university registrar with your legal name change and ask them to update the transcript to the new name.
You mentioned defamation. According to which country you live in there should be a way to sue around that and at least get a record that you have been a victim of cyber bullying, not necessarily the person you appear to be.

I strongly encourage you to do so if you can. I really hate people having such practice and thinking they can get away with it.

Otherwise/in the meantime the contracting idea works. Could be through a platform - i.e Upwork or Toptal - and/or behind a company name, etc. I'd also look into foreign opportunities.

This all sucks and I don't know what happened but look forward, some people don't want to give meaning to these things and would give you a chance. Good luck and take care!

Which? Because Lithuania allows the account-less EU Covid pass, so it’s not them.

Not even to mention that the pass is not required for essential stores, so I’m not quite sure how you got to "required to buy food"

> Europe only has good public transport in very few selected cities and you have to ignore strikes in France to pretend its working well and is reliable.

It's working well and reliable enough.

> The city with the best public transport in the world is probably Tokyo in terms of frequency and service reliability but it is constantly over capacity and things are not getting better.

Things absolutely are getting better; crowding is better than it was. A healthy growing city will always have some capacity issues at any given time, but that's the same as anything.

> so no commute is certainly better pretty much just anywhere.

Not at all proven. Most people choose not to live right next to their workplace even when that's an option. 15-30 minutes' separation is helpful IMO. Even if I'm not commuting, it takes me that long to get my head out of "work mode", and having my home be my workplace makes that worse. "You don't take your work home with you" was always something I looked for in job applications.

There is nothing "small" about government actions like this. Montana is taking/has taken similar steps and I do not like it at all. The worst is when they take actions that they know wont hold up long term, to cause frustration/delays in the short term. Current good example here in MT is passing a bill to allow guns on college campuses, when the state constitution pretty clearly puts the power for that in the hands of the Board of Regents.

Edit: just to be clear, I dont think government should be "small", Im just saying its clearly not that, despite what many voters claim they are voting for

I think you should do a little research on the contributions of some of the Nobel laureates in economics. They have used novel economic theory to reduce world hunger, reduce childhood mortality by increasing vaccination rates, come up with clever methods to allocate public goods like the frequency spectrum and that's just the last 3 years.

You need to relax. The world is not as serious as you think it is. You are talking to someone whose livelihood is at stake.
You should invest money into fighting this legally.

If you are the victim of cyber bullying then I would suggest contacting the platform that is housing the libelous posts. I think there are ways on every platform to remove libelous posts. You probably should hire a lawyer to handle this for you that specializes in cyber bullying.

If you were fired over this libel, then you could also sue the company as well and make sure there are press releases that state that you are fighting this as false so that they become higher in the search rankings. Then at least if future employers are looking at this, it will call into question whether or not you are actually guilty.

Talk to a lawyer before assuming you can’t sue. Police won’t do anything for you but in any common law country a lawyer can. You can sue the platforms hosting the images (it’s a hard fight but people have won it before) and you can serve subpoenas forcing platforms who are hosting the images to say who uploaded them (e.g. their IP address). If your income has been high before there’ll be a lot of money on the line and you won’t have trouble finding a lawyer to do it on contingency (you don’t pay anything unless you win).

Another option is to bury your name in search results. Create online personas for a bunch of other people with your name. Write a bunch of blog articles using your name. Get all the bad press on page 3+ of Google results.

You could apply for a job with a government - they often have rules preventing them from considering certain information in their hiring processes.

You could also just apply to companies which espouse the values the defamer said you articulated. Depending on your race/gender/any other factors this could land you somewhere you’ll be treated poorly, but a job is a job and someone on one extreme or the other of the political spectrum won’t care how horrible a thing you supposedly said. Of course, that means committing to this option, as the employer will taint your resume and limit future opportunities.
Is there even anyone that would take this on spec? Previously stated, my financial situation is unfortunately dire at this time :/
Google has a "right to be forgotten" process: https://support.google.com/legal/answer/10769224?hl=en

I have used it before and Google responded and removed the links to the offending chat forum. If it doesn't show up in Google it's unlikely any employer will find it.

Also, I'd contact the social media companies directly too. At minimum, you could ask for your name to be removed. Doxxing is usually not allowed on their services. Took much more time and persistence than Google, but I was able to get the chat forum to remove names. Best response if you contact their legal dept., not their customer support. You can find legal contact in Terms of Service, Privacy Statement, financial statements, press releases etc.
I'm in regular contact with people from almost every job I had in the last 15 years.

Turns out, coworkers are humans and can have the same outside work interest as me. Be that music, board games, cooking, reading, hiking, etc.

Sure, most people from previous work I don't have any contact with. Same is true for most people I met outside work. Friends can come from everywhere, I don't see a reason to pre-filter.

> Outside of a handful of largest cities, Europeans are as car-dependent as Americans, and if they drive less, it’s mostly because they are poorer, while cars and gas are more expensive: instead of replacing what in the US would be car trips with public transit, they simply travel less and stay home more.

Citation? I think we travel less far, but that's not because people choose to stay home so much as because you don't have to travel so far to achieve the same things (e.g. we probably travel less far to visit relatives than Americans, but still visit our relatives more often and spend more time with them).
Point of clarification, because you're spreading misinformation: being opposed to one specific vaccine type is NOT the same as being an "anti-vaxxer." It will behoove you to be clear on that point.
Moves like this just make no sense to me. Assuming the governor isn't an anti-vax conspiracy theorist or a "covid is fake" denialist, what possible reason could there be for preventing private businesses from mandating vaccination?

Even if you don't believe the state should enact mandates, these are private businesses. If you want to support your state business, what better way to help than by getting everyone healthy, working and comfortable going out again?
In what sense were there “optics” beyond the company? Was this incident public, or just on some forum that would only show up when people Google your name?

That sounds about right. Whenever I have to revisit code I wrote more than 3+ years ago I tend to think "Why the hell did I do it that way?"

Occasionally, now knowing the trend, I'll even comment in an apology to my future self. When I encounter those past comments my general sentiment is something like "yeah, thanks for the spaghetti asshole, would half a day to clean this up have really been so hard?"

And sometimes I remember the circumstances of that spaghetti, boiled around 2:00 AM, and remember "nope, wasn't time". Even though now I can do it better and faster.

If so, then many people that were interested in the content of the lecture will be unable to view it. So... he is effectively going to be cancelled by the anti-cancellers.

That something is single sex makes it private, yet also less directly exclusive or discriminatory. It's not public, it's a fraternity with membership, which makes it a privilege one earns. So there's a bar. Privacy provides some relief from impertinent people. If one is ideologically opposed to such gatherings, there isn't much to persuade them otherwise, but I suspect having somewhere to go that is free of them is its own reward.

It sounds like it worth a try to just own it though? from skimming the posts here if your truly considering changing your name, it doesn't seem like it would make things that much worse for you.

Borrow money from friends and family if you have to. Expensive lawyers can do a lot of things that ordinary people can't do. I would do thorough research on this to figure out who can do this type of work for you. I think it's the most likely to be successful and if I were in that situation, that's exactly what I would do.

It's also a reason why I gave my kids very, very generic boring names which would make it very hard to google them.
