Dramacow Coraline Ada Ehmke / Corey Dale Ehmke - tl;dr Rules for thee but not for me

[MysteriousStranger]

Your contribution is valuable to us (said in my best telephone recording voice). Please hold the line and the next available representative...

Honestly I've already risked too much; I should probably bow out of the thread now. Just got so sick of reading the crap he posts online about himself vs what I know to be the truth. People will have to make up their own minds about my credibility.

For me, it's not that about trust but that there's only one person's account for this. Assuming the veracity of your recount is not an issue, honest people with good intentions will see the a series of events and often give wildly different accounts.
Since the examples involving honest people with good intentions are not as amusing, "I'll let a "successful software dev" take it from here":

Spoiler: Successful and powerful

"I am powerful"

True enough. I guess I'm just more interested in the reasoning of people responsible for firing him than in his 'wildly different accounts' about why it was done--that is, when he admits it at all--as I still don't believe he has publicly with reference to the GitHub job.

It could be as easy as the guys who hired Coraline leaving. His resume (archive) shows a string of 1-year positions 5 years running:

Spoiler: Familiarity breeds contempt.

So I'm inclined to believe the standard background checks and performance metrics were overridden for Coraline by someone or someones in GitHub. It doesn't have to be anything secretive or any more complicated than "guys, give her a chance", but the end result would be a handicap for or abstention from background checks, reference checks, performance reviews, and any other reasonably objective metrics from hire to evaluation. It would be a lot of one-off exemptions to keep some damaged employee on payroll which would have any competent manager thinking twice. Then again, GitHub.

The CV shows years, but not months. It could mean a full year, most of a year or part of a year. Who knows? Where a single dev salary is probobly on the order of a rounding error with the kind of budget numbers github can support, I would suspect that this company probobly runs a tighter ship and will probobly expect results. I would wager we are going to see another episode like this inside of a calendar year.

Honestly, it would be great if Cory could focus on his job enough so that he can keep it for a while and stay busy enough to stop sperging and shitting his CoC onto everyone's projects.

That would have to be Nicole "This is not work for white folks to lead" Sanchez, but she's still at Github.

Well then... barring for the moment that she milked her friend's suicide for asspats it's actually really fucking difficult to OD on typical anti anxiety medication... like insanely difficult. You'd be better off consuming some other drug like ibuprofen.

Can confirm.

Anti-anxiety medications cannot kill you directly, in the sense it's basically impossible to OD on them and die as a direct result. Indirectly, they can screw with your brain chemistry to the point you can snap and commit an act that would result in death, but they are a very bad choice if you want to OD on medication directly.

Wikipedia says "In 2013, benzodiazepines were involved in 31% of the estimated 22,767 deaths from prescription drug overdose in the United States".

Apparently it was an underoverdose.

Apparently it was an underoverdose.

That is a somewhat misleading quote. Does that mean benzodiazepines by themselves? Or is it benzos plus opiates, which is a super quick and fun way to stop breathing to death?

It is possible and does happen, but cases are rare given the drug's prevalence and those who OD are disproportionately the sick and elderly. Most deaths involve alcohol or impairment, so if Coraline stayed in that apartment and started hitting the Jack, passed out in the tub, ate something and choked/passed out and vomited, etc. our GitHub saga would have concluded differently. The involuntary commitment that followed did what it needed to, though there was no shortage of kvetching about it after the fact from a very living Coraline.

Edit: spelling, etc.

Funny as it sounds, not entirely involuntary. She said she signed a waiver that allowed them to hold her as long as they wanted.

 

[ppz]

Every time I think Corey has hit peak delusion he proves to me he's capable of more.


It's only 'very bad' until the singing starts, then it really plummets. The beautiful thing is he's mixed the vocals WAY UP because SO PROUD.

 

[Splendid]

One thing that gets me: The Citizen Code of Conduct is worse than the one that she pushes somehow.

 

[kokozavro]

Oh senpai noticed us...

My life's so fascinating, and it's only going to get worse...

Also somehow she's still talking to her former boss, must have been fired by someone else.

This is me not feeling the slightest bit sorry for this douchebag.

They wanted to invade spaces where all they wanted to do was power trip and demand the right to boss people around, then they were hung from the proverbial yardarm by their own crooked rulebook, and now they are whining because they can't tolerate people rightfully feeling scorn for their unrepentant arrogance.

And that suits me just fine.

I don't think there's anywhere near a hanging by the own rulebook. That'd just be tone policing etc.
Remember, she's on the right side of history!

Slightly unrelated, where are all these idiots in other industries? Someone calling for civil engineers to learn empathy? "Greater than chart of accounts" podcasts? Auditor's covenant?

Harassment has spiked since I left GitHub

In short, Coraline just lied about receiving a "spike" in "harassment". Contact from ideological allies and opponents has waned, likely because she no longer has a platform to promote her agenda. Any compliments or criticism she receives are directly tied to what she posts on Twitter at the time, and when she stops posting stupid things on Twitter people stop caring. When she comes back and goes out of her way to provoke people, the criticism and compliments return.

Below: chart of tweets sent to @coralineada divided into 4 hour blocks. Coraline "left" GitHub by May 23rd at the latest. The tweets received since then show a fade into obscurity after that from critics and friends alike:

This number is also not far removed from the number of Tweets she produces:

The one thing that corresponds to the tweets she receives is what she dishes out. Her staycation from 4/10 to 4/16 correlates directly to a period where there were no Tweets from, to, or about her. Her critics could not care less about her after she stopped tweeting a week and moved on to other things, much like her allies.
So it's not that she is getting less unsolicited contact but that the stupid things she writes get have fewer responses.
Even then, a vast majority of thetweets she receives are from the "nods respectfully towards you" crowd - not even searches for terms like "SJW" (6 results in time frame) and "tranny" (0 results in time frame) could unearth anything that could be construed as harassment.

Edit: Proofread, etc.

I don't think you understand due to your white cishet privilege. Harassment is not what happens on Twitter, it's what's written here.
Cause talking about someone is harassment, grasshopper. Also Greg Elliott is literally Hitler.

Imagine your life when you compulsively have to search the web for your name and then read whatever any haters wrote.
Also imagine your life when the first page of Google results on your name tells the whole world you're a twat.

So just by posting, I force these troons to read every word of it.

Damn it feels good to be a shitlord.
