I've seen Kehinde Andrews defend Arday repeatedly about plagiarism.

He says

1. It was deemed "misquoting" and poor scholarly work that should've been caught by his advisor 2. And the university did an investigation and ruled it wasn't plagiarism.

Basically, the mom who will always love their ax murderer son.

This sounds worse than reality.

That was an unpaid research affiliation, while he was holding a separate, paid research fellow position at Cambridge.

Cambridge didn't fire him from his paid job, which was a terminal, three-year fellowship. [0]

"must" is over-stating the parent's point.

If the bar was provably lowered for him due to an attribute [0], then doesn't that invite scrutiny on others with the same attribute? To your critique, the attribute could be political affiliation, familial relationships, academic lineage, social circles, nationality, .

Arday tried to ruin a journalist's life with police complaints that the police pursued without following proper protocols. The police issued a public apology [0].

This is a left wing think tank.

Edit: article flagged presumably for bias.

You already provided the facts, and they want to pretend like there isn't a legal obligation to respond to a distress call and the Zuck hate clickbait was otherwise.

Honestly, Zuck haters should be the first ones to point this out so it doesn't distract from other criticism.

Now, you're trying to conveniently ignore the context of the post you replied to here [0].

> More often than not

I skimmed the rest and saw too many weasel words. Good luck.

The parent comment is just edgy pontification.

You're eating beaver back sac.

Then "true cost" requires a rabbit hole of business expense write-offs, fixed v. marginal costs, speed, comfort, (sub-)leasing, which airport you fly into, O&M strategies, and more.

Per the article, your fractional share of a 10M plane with 1M/y of maintenance gets you 100 hr/y.

You can't compare flying private, let alone commercial to riding Amtrak.

Amtrak doesn't get priority reliably enforced outside the Northeast and the delays are legendary.

I made a distinction between people who have the self-esteem muscle (healthy) and those who subscribe to unsustainable, toxic positivity (unhealthy).

The grandparent said Rocket doesn't slip into despair, not tries not to slip.

That's unrealistic and tracks with toxic positivity. If everyone had the muscle to process their initial and secondary emotions in a calm manner, then airport bookshelves would be empty.

You even ask how people can get swept in such situations when the pathologies for trauma bonds and "s/he beats me because they love me" are pretty clear.

It's an excuse to squeeze more money out of the brand with a lower quality product.

It's shrinkflation.

In practice, skipping the line is THE approach. How many times do you hear people say to fill out online job postings? Never. It's just scaring off good/bad candidates and bums who dont have an employee referral.

It's not even cynical to say a lot of postings are performatory compliance steps when they've already got internal candidates lined up.

You just have to get past the recruiter/talent acquisition where everyone else is getting auto-rejected. You should be doing that anyway.
