That earlier video of people stealing from Paris Baguette (a Korean bakery chain) in NYC was selectively edited from a 22 minute compilation video. In reality there were white folks stealing as well.
Link to the original 22-minute video:

Text caption for the 22 minute video that provides context:
>🇺🇸🚨‼️20 minutes of stealing from Paris Baguette in NYC
>This small cafe shows how tough it is to run a business in NYC. Many just walk in and steal. The police are not doing anything, which leads to regular customers who come and steal.
>Funnily enough, everyone steals… all races and genders work in harmony here.
>This video is unbiased. I took all videos from the last 6 months and added them. No filters for specific groups.
>So if someone wants to run a profiling count, it will be accurate… if you do one, drop it in the comments.

They've now ruined Blade Runner too.... They can't help themselves... Another great IP destroyed.
I just got rejected from a job I didn't even apply for...
I started a job application at this place (they use icims) but I never submitted the application. I barely filled out anything.
In fact a couple weeks ago I got an automated message reminding me to finish my application. But I never did.
Well today I just got a rejection email from them. Wtf?
I was in the process of changing ownership of files in my old hard drive but it was interrupted and crashed. Now whenever I try to access the hard drive, it freezes up my whole computer.
I had an old PC in which the motherboard suddenly died. So I took out the hard drive, put it in an enclosure case, and plugged it into my new PC via USB.
I couldn't access the files in the old hard drive because it was locked by Windows local user account password. So I attempted to change the ownership of the files. The drive was in the process of changing the ownership, but it was interrupted and it froze and crashed.
Now whenever I connect my old hard drive to my PC and try to click on the drive, it freezes the whole computer. The drive also gets louder. If I unplug the drive, my PC unfreezes and goes back to normal. My PC recognizes the drive and I see it, but I'm unable to access it because it freezes immediately when I click on it. It does this every time.
What is going on? And how do I fix it? I just want to recover the files in the old drive.
If someone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Rotten Tomatoes says The Odyssey has a 97% Audience Score. The raw JSON data proves it's actually 56%.
Rotten Tomatoes made a major change to how audience scores were calculated back in 2019. Many people don't realize what happened, but this single change is why The Odyssey score currently sits at a glowing 97%, yet standardizing the data properly reveals it is actually 56%.
The discrepancy comes down to how RT creates the "Verified Audience" score versus the "All Audience" score.
The Background: "Push" vs. "Pull"
Before 2019, RT used a "pull" mechanic: an unverified user had to actively decide to leave a review, log in or create an account, navigate to the movie page, and submit their rating.
After 2019, RT shifted the primary score to a "push" notification via ticket processors like Fandango. A ticket buyer walking out of the theater gets a prompt: "Did you like the movie? Tap 1 to 5 stars." They tap a star, and they're done.
Removing UI friction is fine on paper, but making "Verified Audience" the default score under the new "Popcornmeter" branding changed everything. (And yes, given how predictable the resulting score inflation was, this was likely deliberate obfuscation by RT.)
How to See the Real Numbers Yourself
Fortunately, the old "pull" audience data is still sitting right inside RT's page source code—if you know where to look:
- Open The Odyssey on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source (or press
Ctrl+U/Cmd+U). - Press
Ctrl+Fand search formedia-scorecard-json.
A few lines down, you'll see a JSON data block that looks like this (the likedCount and notLikedCount are what we want):
> {"audienceAll":{"certifiedFresh":"certified","averageRating":"4.6","bandedRatingCount":"5,000+ Ratings", "likedCount":7858,"notLikedCount":646, "reviewCount":1719,"score":"92"...}
>
> {"audienceVerified":{"certifiedFresh":"certified","averageRating":"4.8","bandedRatingCount":"5,000+ Verified Ratings", "likedCount":7360,"notLikedCount":258, "reviewCount":1126,"score":"97"...}
Extracting the True "Pull" Score
To find the actual sentiment of independent web users, we just need to isolate the unverified votes from the combined "All Audience" pool:
Verified ("Push") Score:
7,360 likes / (7,360 + 258 total) = 96.6% (This is the 97% Popcornmeter score RT displays prominently for The Odyssey).Unverified ("Pull") Score:
- Unverified Likes: 7,858 - 7,360 = 498
- Unverified Dislikes: 646 - 258 = 388
- Calculation: 498 / (498 + 388) = 498 / 886 = 56.2% (This is the more valid audience score for The Odyssey)
Summary
Out of 886 active Rotten Tomatoes users who – at the time of this writing – navigated to the site on their own to rate The Odyssey, only 498 (56%) rated it positively.
The current generated 97% score displayed so prominently is simply an artifact of a push notification pipeline heavily biased toward opening-weekend ticket buyers.
Does WGU accept transfer credits from community colleges that are Pass/No Pass instead of Letter grades?
I looked at the Transfer guidelines and it says "Must have been awarded a grade of C- or better"
But that doesn't specify whether it can be Pass/No Pass.

reddit.comDo people not shake hands anymore at job interviews? Has it become anachronistic post-Covid or something?
I noticed literally every single interview I've been to (it's a lot), the interviewer has NEVER extended to shake hands at first meeting. Like you would think it's just basic etiquette when you first meet someone. I'm always the one that extends first to shake hands, and sometimes I can tell they're taken aback by it, as if it's something new or unexpected.
Have handshakes become anachronistic after covid? Is that the reason? What's the deal?
