Hahaha.

New York Post:

A new restaurant chain in New York City is outsourcing staff to the Philippines, using screens with virtual hostesses on Zoom calls instead of in-person employees to greet customers and help with check-out.

The shops — which specialize in fried chicken and ramen — are taking advantage of the massive wealth gap between New York City, where the minimum wage is $16 per hour, and a Southeast Asian nation where hourly pay is closer to $3.75.

But when customers check out at Sansan Chicken, Sansan Ramen or Yaso Kitchen — with locations in Manhattan, Queens and Jersey City — they’re still prompted to add a tip of up to 18% on top of their bill.

On a recent afternoon at Sansan Chicken in Long Island City, a reporter for The Post was greeted by Pie, a 33-year-old virtual hostess who works from her living room in the Philippine city of Subic.

The cheerful remote worker said she is employed by a company called Happy Cashier and that she enjoys her work.

Pie declined to disclose how much she was paid, but said customers sometimes leave generous tips despite the fact that she’s not actually there in person.

Once, she got $40 at Yaso Kitchen in Jersey City, she said — adding that she splits tips with her manager and kitchen staff at the restaurant.

It’s only confusing why it would be legal if you think the law is there for your benefit. I don’t think anyone thinks that anymore. You’d have to be a total retard.

Say what you want about the blacks.

Professional hardships became a highlight at a Jamaica teachers’ conference, as one of its members was caught getting intimate with a partner while her colleague was talking about “necessary connections” during a public Zoom call.

A recorded multi-member Zoom meeting from the 57th Annual Conference of the Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) has gone viral. In an almost two-minute-long video circulating on Twitter, one of the call member’s windows showed sexual intercourse recorded by another conference participant.

Two people can be seen apparently having sex in a bedroom while a female voice is delivering a speech, saying: “Teaching in the middle of the pandemic was hard.” She keeps on talking about “how important this profession is” and distant teaching “challenges” – “I’ve never taught online and didn’t know what it was” – while her unaware colleague continues getting intimate with a partner in front of the camera.

A computer voice notification ‘Recording in progress’ can then be heard, with a different conference member screaming out loud “What the hell” and calling out to someone to “stop it.”

Lol yes, live zoom sex on Jamaica Teachers Association

They could have kicked them off long time but let’s deflect and gossip 🤭

“We need necessary connections to keep afloat,” the speaker keeps on talking, as a woman can be seen leaning forward to a naked partner. Interrupting the unintended home video, a strict face of a woman, apparently a conference host from what looks like an official venue, then appears in the window.

This is just sort of an obvious thing that is going to happen by default.

The scarier thing is that people will start to feel like they’re being constantly watched, and start behaving in private as if they’re being constantly watched.

We’re all living alone in our rooms and in a panopticon.

I’ve been arguing for years that the New York Mets should change their name to the New York Nipple-Lickers.

Maybe it’s finally time to make that happen, in honor of our brave teachers’ unions?

RT:

A New York City teacher has been pulled from her classes but kept her job after being caught on a Zoom teaching session sucking a man’s nipple in front of her students.

Amanda K. Fletcher, 37, was disciplined after an investigation found she had performed an “inappropriate sexual act” during a Zoom classroom for students of the Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering.

Fletcher, a Spanish teacher, “appeared to suck the nipple of an unidentified topless male” while “gyrating” back and forth on video, according to the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools.

She also reportedly ate spaghetti while the man in question stood behind her shirtless, according to videos reported by the New York Post.

After finishing her session on the man’s chest, Fletcher returned to teaching her class. Investigators watched multiple videos taken by students of the incident.

“This behavior is absolutely unacceptable,” DOE spokeswoman Danielle Filson said, according to the New York Post. Fletcher was reassigned after her incident was reported last fall, and she remains employed by the city. She has reportedly declined to explain any of the scenes.

Yeah I mean – just like people are doing mass shooting and other violent acts, you’re going to see people doing all kinds of weird sexual stuff. This is all part of the total breakdown of the mass psyche that is the result of this lunatic virus hoax.

Anyway – on the issue of teachers, how about we talk about unions?

Somebody needs to start talking about unions.

For some reason, the teachers get a union, and hardly anyone else does.

If non-teachers had unions, then those unions could go to war with the teachers’ unions in order to get kids back in schools and prevent all of this heinous nipple-licking we’ve seen happening.

I get that communists infiltrated unions. But the modern policy of not having unions because you can’t keep them from being infiltrated by communists is really throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Unions should be a basic function of any civilized society.

You know what unions could do right now? They could prevent people from being fired for refusing the deadly vaxx.

Rather than witch-hunting communists in unions, you could just have a law that Jews were not allowed in the leadership of unions. That would pretty much completely prevent communist infiltration.

I’m also not really sure than in current year, “the threat of communist infiltration” is a valid concern, given that there is no enemy country that is communist (China is not Comintern, and they’re not really even communist – but okay, ban the Chinese from running unions too if you’re worried about that).

Right-wingers really are moronic in the way they allowed the threat of communism to override basic common sense.

They’re doing the same thing now, actually.

I suppose that peasants will be peasants.

“Yes milord. What is it? Right-o.”

It’s the elect who are to blame.

I’m not sure why it would even matter if kids turned up for the Zoom stream. Everyone admits you don’t learn things on Zoom, and no one even pays attention at all.

AP:

Preliminary reports indicate that more than 5,000 Alabama public school students haven’t shown up for any sort of classes, virtual or in-person, state Education Superintendent Eric Mackey said.

The students are likely to have a hard time catching up and the enrollment drop could mean the loss of hundreds of teachers, he said.

“It’s a very difficult year instructionally and that doesn’t even touch the surface on the issues we will have with these 5,000 students who are not in school and we don’t know where they are,” he said.

Because the state funding formula is based on enrollment, losing the students could hit next year’s budget hard. Mackey told The Montgomery Advertiser he’s hoping the Legislature will make a temporary change to avoid that, perhaps basing allocations on average enrollment for the past couple of years.

Mackey said some of the missing students may have enrolled in private schools.

Others have returned, but too late for the official enrollment count, which ends each year 20 days after Labor Day.

“I have every expectation that once the pandemic ends, all of those students will come back,” Mackey said./blockquote>

“When the pandemic ends.”

It’s almost cute how naive these people are.

It’s never going to end. I would not be surprised if school doesn’t happen again until the masses move in to our new tenement housing complexes that they’ll march them into when they “save them” from the collapse.

This is all about making everyone as miserable as possible. Then, when the misery is maximized, they will present you with a solution that is where they wanted to take you in the first place.

Taking children out of school makes everyone miserable. The mother is miserable.

The children are even more miserable. The single most important element of a child’s life is socialization, which is why home schooled children are all maladjusted, anxious, neurotic and lacking in any form of self-esteem.

The government is giving every child in America the “homeschool treatment.” Most mommies aren’t deranged enough to torture their children with their constant presence, so the government comes in and tells moms: “we’re going to force you to torture your children with your constant presence.”

The middle class is being completely wiped out, they are going to make you 100% dependent on the government for your survival.

You’re going to love marching into that tenement building to eat bugs and getting that chip in your hand after they’ve forced you into true forced loneliness, driven you to the edge of madness, and released the blacks on you and let them murder you with impunity while they defunded the police.

Isn’t this obvious to anyone who isn’t a complete peasant who believes whatever it says on TV?

We continue to see that Democrats are not fundamentally anti-cop any more than they are fundamentally anti-gun.

Reason:

If there’s one thing the public school system shouldn’t be doing right now, it’s making life even more hellishly difficult for parents. And yet many teachers in the state of Massachusetts are contacting the authorities to report parents for suspected child abuse when kids fail to show up for Zoom classes.

“Massachusetts school officials have reported dozens of families to state social workers for possible neglect charges because of issues related to their children’s participation in remote learning classes during the pandemic shutdown in the spring,” The Boston Globe reported on Saturday.

The infuriating article is worth reading in full. The Globe spoke with several parents who have received calls and visits from the state Department of Children and Families (DCF). The department has the power to remove children from their homes and place them in foster care if agents suspect that kids are being mistreated, abused, or neglected—and DCF considers distance-learning no-shows to be possible abuse cases. DCF lists numerous circumstances in which teachers should feel obliged to call the cops, among them kids appearing tired or hungry during Zoom sessions.

Working parents who have no choice but to leave their young children in the care of a sibling, or let them fend for themselves, will be particularly vulnerable to unfounded child services investigations. This isn’t a theoretical concern. Consider the case of Em Quiles, who

struggled to work her full-time job while overseeing her young son’s schooling. During remote class time, her 7-year-old was largely supervised by his teenage brother, who had his own school work to do.

Quiles said she told staff at Heard Street Discovery Academy in Worcester in the spring that her work schedule made it tough to assist with virtual schooling and she struggled to navigate the school’s online platforms. “They didn’t offer any help,” she said.

Then in June, Quiles was stunned to receive a call from the state’s Department of Children and Families. The school had accused Quiles of neglect, she was told, because the 7-year-old missed class and homework assignments.

Another mother, a Spanish-speaking immigrant, requested a virtual meting with a school councillor to discuss her son’s behavioral difficulties, which had worsened during pandemic-induced isolation. A few days after she spoke with the counselor, DCF called the mom. Someone at the school—possibly the counselor—had accused the mom of “general neglect” based on “behaviors observed or disclosed during remote learning.” The agency spent weeks investigating the matter, interrogating the mother and her son on everything from “the contents of her refrigerator to her son’s sleeping location.” The allegation was eventually dismissed.

A third parent—Christi Brouder, a single mother of four kids—faced frequent threats from teachers that DCF would intervene if the children didn’t improve their virtual attendance. Once, when her 10-year-old daughter was tuned in to Zoom class, Brouder’s autistic six-year-old son leapt naked in front of the screen. Predictably, the school called the cops:

Later that day, Brouder received a call from the Department of Children and Families. The social worker informed her that school staff had reported a naked adult male exposing himself on the computer.

Brouder explained that she lives alone with her four young children and that the nude male was only 6.

She was relieved when the social worker told her the case wouldn’t go anywhere. The school district, however, wasn’t ready to drop the issue. The head of Haverhill’s special-education department told Brouder that afternoon they had contacted the city police department “due to the severity of the allegations,” according to Brouder.

The goal here is to drive you over the edge.

Deep breaths, people.

We’ve gotta hold it together. We don’t have a choice.

Can you imagine? Censoring a Chinese fugitive who is simply trying to undermine the Chinese Communist Party in the name of double anal.

It’s like those hippies are getting smashed with tanks all over again.

CNBC:

Zoom shut down the account of an activist who was holding an event on the video conferencing platform to commemorate China’s Tiananmen Square crackdown.

The move has prompted accusations that Zoom, a U.S. company, has bowed to pressure from Beijing.

U.S.-based rights group Humanitarian China held an event on Zoom on May 31 to commemorate those who lost their lives in the violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in China’s Tiananmen Square in 1989. The topic is taboo in China and references to it online are heavily censored.

The account that hosted the event was shut down on June 7, according to Zhou Fengsuo, who founded Humanitarian China and took part in the 1989 protests as a student. The account has since been reinstated.

Zoom confirmed it had suspended the account.

“Like any global company, Zoom must comply with laws in the countries where we operate. We strive to limit actions taken to those necessary to comply with local law,” a Zoom spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Imagine asking questions about a foreign country’s censorship regime when you can get censored in your own country for saying that a man with a penis cannot become a woman.

Imagine looking at this story and not knowing it was war propaganda. Imagine your consciousness being stuff inside of a brain that could read this new item and not know immediately – as soon as they saw that headline – that this is Western war propaganda.

What must it be like inside such a skull?

Is it cold, I wonder?

No… I suspect that it is actually very warm. Too warm, in fact. Like a baby pool filled with fresh elephant urine.

Joggers want you to believe they are little babies that just can’t even function if you call them a name.

Is this true?

Well, if it is true, they need to grow up. If it’s not true, then they need to stop pretending to be emotionally fragile.

The Hill:

An Oklahoma City University (OCU) virtual graduation was hacked Saturday, with a racial slur and swastika appearing onscreen during the event held online due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The interruption came as images of students were being displayed and student Jay Williams was giving a blessing, an Oklahoma City CNN affiliate reported.

“We are heartbroken and outraged at the hate-filled attack that occurred at the end of our virtual graduation celebration today. During a time that should have been focused on recognizing our graduating students, an unknown source was able to bypass the system and display racist and offensive language. I want to be clear, OCU stands against racism, bigotry, and anti-Semitism,” OCU President Martha Burger said in a statement.

“I cannot remove this pain and hurt, but I want you to know, that at OCU, we will continue to pursue the values that define us – values of integrity, respect, diversity and inclusion, and collaboration. We will work together to ensure that love, not hate, prevails,” she added, reproducing the blessing Williams had been given when he was interrupted: “Where there is injustice, may we not be silent. Where there is harm, may we be makers of peace. Where there is hate, may we be agents of love.”

I cannot remove this pain and hurt, but I want you to know, that at OCU, we will continue to pursue the values that define us – values of integrity, respect, diversity and inclusion, and collaboration. We will work together to ensure that love, not hate, prevails. (4/5)

The ceremony was hosted on Zoom, a popular video meeting platform during the coronavirus lockdown that increasingly has become a target for hackers.

No one is “hacking” Zoom. People can just log into it. You have to wonder why this same joke keeps working, huh?

If a joke causes you “pain and hurt,” you probably need therapy.

Most adults are able to manage people making fun of them and whatever emotions that creates.
