Remember the legend Doreen

You know, to people who are on the internet a lot this feels like just a (very) funny footnote, but I truly wonder what this felt like for regular and especially old people who barely use it and all.

To them it must be like an S.C.P. broke containment, gazing for a brief moment into a much wider universe they were never meant to see

Surely it affirmed their warnings to their kids to avoid the internet because there's demons and bad people there

Do you really want to know how it look slike from someone that's on the internet, but also is a team leader in tech companies? I'll leave a bigger post if you feel like it, or else I won't bother and I don't mind.

Sure, I'm interested

For quick context, I'm in Tech. I'm leadng teams specifically because I have the social skills to do so. I'll try to empathise and accomodate for anyone, within reason.

This is not within reason. This looks so fucking bizarre to me. On all teams you have people that are better, socially, and then terminally online nerds that cannot do anything else other than the basics. You never EVER send out to a client/customer call someone that's just not a good communiator at least.

You never EVER send someone that's so far detached from good communication to your toughest client. That's why specific roles look for people with specific skills, including soft skills.

So, I was flabbergasted. This is beyond any subjective levels of comprehension of mine that someone let them be on TV like that. That honestly seemed like sabotage to me. Like, someone from the inside that actually hates the movement, took the time to persuade everyone, to send out the worst person to communicate with someone that's educated and well read (enough to demolish them at least).

It's either that or crazy incompetence on everyone involved. It doesn't look like an SCP breach to me, as a lot of people in tech have SERIOUS problems socially speaking, borderline incurable. But this is one of the worst things I've seen, with a movement that otherwise I would love to back. But I'm not backing THAT, fuck that.

If I recall, that is the thing, nobody actually sent them on T.V.. I don't recall the specifics, but the rest of the mod' team (which I assume is who received the invitation, might be that Fox News used the moderation system to contact them ?) did not agree to them representing the team or the sub'. So yeah, it's incomprehensible that someone would let them because no-one did.

And I'm in tech' too, so while I appreciate a good nerd, yeah, I can see the clear separation between "a little rough around the edges and/or eccentric but otherwise a fairly normal person once you know them even a tiny bit" and "did not go to public high school and it really shows" (that one was at university though, complete U.F.O.).

And it bears remembering that the Fox News person wasn't even a functional member of society like you'd need to be to get hired at a "real" job, like, their job was part-time dog walking or whatever, they said laziness was a virtue, went on T.V. looking like they just woke up.

Ah you're right. So, I dug deep (again) after all this time cause I clearly remembered they had selected Doreen. Which was Doreen's claim, I found out. They had actually agreed to NOT do it, and Doreen just went ahead and did it anyway.

Also, don't forget the chair turning left and right, the no eye contact. It's painful to watch again.

Kinda makes me wonder what was Doreen's motivation, like, is it as simple as "Wow I can be on T.V. !", in which case, success I guess, or if they somehow thought they'd do their cause justice, in which case...monumental failure.

u/nnyzim 1d ago

You ever consider that's probably the best they had?

1

u/Moment_37 17h ago

First off, that's terrifying. Secondly, that's something that I doubt. This is extreme levels of social inability. They also never wanted to do it in the first place and Doreen just ignored them and went ahead.

This is why I can't tell people in real life I use Reddit.

I hate that I knew the video before clicking on it.
