Why can't there be a way to say "this person can't message me privately" or "I don't want notifications from this person"?

There is surely a way that allows users to set boundaries around problematic people that is not complete elimination.

-
Burnout isn't over when you're willing to get back to work. It's over when you are EXCITED to get back to work.
-
A situation without control, without reward, without community, without fairness, out of whack with your values is exhausting.
-
When it ends the best gift you can give yourself is to escape and recharge until you're excited to come back. Time for yourself: it works.
-
benjaminellis TimDuckett yeah it's a book called "the truth about burnout" but there is an article in iirc Forbes with the key points.

Polls closing so going to bed to enjoy a good nights sleep before tomorrow's unprecedented feelings of optimism or despair for humanity.
-
Please let it be optimism.
-
I cannot.
-
I am anxious about the coming global recession and terrified about world war three but I want to take a moment and be sad about Hillary.
-
Hillary was the most qualified person EVER to run for president. EVER. Think there is gonna be another woman like that in 4 years? In 8?
-
Nope. The dems will be all "we had a woman run once, and fascism won because she had that thing with her emails."
-
This assumes that the world hasn't ended and people who aren't white men still live in America, which is not a given.

falsum her platform was as left as sanders was. People who think that just didn't want to listen to a woman.
-
falsum its true trump has a vision there but not one the world will benefit from.
-
falsum people had a choice & white people overwhelmingly elected a white supremacist and the republicans worked hard to disenfranchise poc.
-
falsum and to be like "oh the dems nominated the wrong person" you mean they didn't pander enough to white supremacists?
-
falsum people got the choice they got and they elected a sexual predator and white supremacist.platform is a detail. Trump had no platform.
-
falsum I don't think that is true at all. If it played out that way I think it was media biases and misogyny.
-
sharonw literally messaged my person with whom I discussed this months ago "when are we getting married".
-
falsum well I heard a lot. Maybe it just didn't seem like as much compared to the ravings of a delusional narcissist.

Me too. triketora/796562847820025856
-
I'm going to tell you a story. A few months ago I thought I would have to move to the US for work. I faced it. Tried to accept it.
-
My feelings on this fluctuated with the election coverage. "Yay I want to live under president Clinton" and you know, terror.
-
When relocation came up I would say I wouldn't move if Trump won and all these white dudes humoured me, joked that they would leave too.
-
One of them told me all about his "crazy" relative who was going to vote trump and how they went out and got drunk together.
-
Some of my friends told me how terrified they were. Some clearly thought I was experiencing British post-brexit paranoia.
-
All day yesterday I kept thinking about how dearsarah told me, multiple times, "women and poc are the majority of the population."
-
But I guess that doesn't matter if you disenfranchise enough of them. Although all these white women who voted for trump - wtf.
-
Amazing to think that some women VOTED for trump who would probably (sensibly) refuse to be in a room alone with him.
-
Anyway if I had moved to the US I would be arriving this week and that alternate reality hits me pretty hard.
-
Would I actually have had the nerve to turn around and leave? Or would I be anxiously trying to make a temporary life until I got deported?
-
Set that aside. Yesterday, I spoke to as many of my non-white-man American friends as I could and I heard some things that broke my heart.
-
"My family didn't immigrate for this." Stays with me. "My family moved to the US on refugee status because of the holocaust." Haunts me.
-
And my friends who are afraid and talking about leaving. You get to leave, if you want to, if you are lucky. You have no obligation to stay.
-
I feel you. And I will help you, if I can.
-
NuckChorris :( I can't even
-
trodrigues yeah people just didn't vote? Actually turn out for brexit was high.
-
trodrigues also in terms of clarity about what people were voting for.
-
trodrigues yeah
-
steve_codes yeah this is true but that doesn't mean people who can leave but would still suffer have an obligation to stay too.
-
steve_codes also since the republican party is driven by financial self-interest there are departures that would hit home.
-
steve_codes how does that play out in practise?
-
steve_codes it's being debated in parliament soon right? I should write to my MP. And also find out who my MP is.

cupcait MotherOFirebees I was writing today's post about remote work and I realized threat "being alone" was really the main thing.
-
cupcait MotherOFirebees and also not dealing with inappropriate comments from men or men irl in general.
-
And seems to know how to use it? So that shakes my theory that he was time warped in from the 1600s along with his views on women.

Fucking Nigel's everywhere ruining things. I hate them all. 🔪🔥

cupcait MotherOFirebees yeah I would die in an office of men now tbh

IMO one thing "blind" hiring processes miss is it's blind both ways. Even if gets an interview, you still need to work in the environment.
-
If you know nothing about it, you know nothing about whether it's an environment people like you can be successful in.
-
Interviewing is very time consuming, so for people who have better options (obv not everyone does) it makes sense to be much more strategic.
-
IME with women, they don't interview for fun, and they don't participate in processes unless they feel optimistic about the job.
-
(Diversity is more than women, I don't know whether this is true of other underrepresented groups)
-
Partly why hiring women hard: don't just convince to *interview*, convince them want to work there, accept interview as a necessary step.
-
QuinnyPig I've done a lot of work on that ;)

Really tired of reading about people who are upset that they are seen as bigoted. Like have you tried... Not being a bigot?
