Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

She's the Ukrainian woman that fled the Russian invasion in Ukraine to the US and was then stabbed to death in a random attack on a train, with onlookers ignoring her pleas for help.
Edit: her name is Iryna Zarutska
Yup. That's America for you.
Ten thousand shitposts about "9/11 would have been different if I'd been on the plane". Then life gets real and you're hiding under your seat.
I mean. The Americans crowing like you're describing (I've known many) treat cities like literal warzones and would absolutely not, in almost any scenario I can imagine, use public transit.
They are so scared, all the time, of the most normal stuff.
But also they somehow think people who live in cities, and who de facto navigate the supposed hellscape daily, are generally both foolish and weak. It's an amazing knot of terminally unresolved internal tension, just like so much else of their neurotic (often at best) behavior.
(To be fair getting stabbed to death by a random stranger is not normal stuff so their fear has a basis this time I guess, congrats, deeply broken clocks)

We're the onlookers all democrats or something?
This happened in a town close to me and it's all they have talked about for the last few weeks. She was murdered by a random guy that just wanted to kill a white person as he said right after he was done stabbing her and walked off the train.
Many are wondering about the passengers not doing anything, but the dude has a knife and it's generally not a good idea to fight someone who just fatally stabbed someone else. So i can't blame them for being in shock and not wanting to also die.
But the train she was on has always been sketchy and city leaders keep cutting back on police and security there, so politicians are using it in everyway they can to promote their agenda's. Especially the republicans since Charlotte, NC is a mostly democratic city.
