I should not be involved with people who turn a blind eye to fascism.

Full stop.

I’m sorry to say that you already know what you have to do. There’s no easy way to do it other than to just do it. If it makes the process easier, you don’t have to pose it as “it’s me or them” because you already know what his answer will be. If he was going to change, he’s had plenty of opportunities already.

Don’t wait for him anymore. Live YOUR life.

That’s an interesting wikipedia article - that’s the first time I’ve seen [failed verification] on a citation, let alone two. You learn something new every day.

Hello department,

Due to a recent policy change, the currently planned process change has been postponed. This is in part due to the new policy requiring all teams review and confirm that their work will not be impacted by any process change. Any issues that are discovered during these internal discussions must be immediately brought to management. Issues discovered this way will also set new policies to ensure the issue is fully resolved prior to any new process change. Please discuss the attached policy change(s) amongst your team and provide feedback prior to the postponed process change date. Please note that any feedback provided after the postponed process change date will not be accepted, per company policy. Any team who does not provide feedback prior to the posted deadline will require additional policies to endure promptness.

“Can you confirm if this impacts your team by tomorrow? It’s holding up the release, and management is ready to move on it.”

Did it really dissolve into rust, or did your parents secretly throw away your poop nail in the middle of the night?

I think this is too specific, as you mentioned. Why not broaden it to “a piece of literature they were not required to read”? You could talk about anything from wikipedia articles, to current news headlines or sci-fi books this way, and it shows where their curiosity lies.

You seem to still be misinformed.

I’d even say add another column of “Skills to get the interview”.

They have for me - albeit I was swimming in an untreated lake at the time.

Capitalism requires indefinite growth.

We have a word for something that grows indefinitely. It’s called “cancer”, and it eventually kills whichever organism it’s a part of by stealing nutrients designed for other parts of the system. The only way for an organism with cancer to survive is if the cancer is killed off before the organism dies.

That’s where we’re at. Capitalism might have gotten us this far, but the same can be said about any person with cancer. What worked for us in the past isn’t guaranteed to work for us in the future, and could actively be what’s killing us.

We have to adapt.

Psst. You’re not being down voted for not being blatantly anti-capitalist. You’re being downvoted (by me) for not adding anything substantive to the conversation.

“100%” as a comment is equivalent to an upvote, so maybe just do that instead next time.

First, think about how smart the “average” person is.

Next, think about how half of the people in the world are dumber than that and you start to get an idea.

Yeah, yours is hypothetical. Good luck solving entropy.

“People have died long before Jack the Ripper. If we want to prevent death, you need for the root cause, which isn’t Jack”

We’re not trying to solve every case of data disappearing, but the large influx that has appeared as a direct result of Trump’s orders.

In case it’s not obvious, the root cause of that is Trump.

So, in the article, the tip amounts were 20%, 30%, 50%, and 100%. They also used capital letters correctly.

I’m not trying to say that a 100% tip isn’t crazy, but this photo seems suspicious without any branding, incorrect capitalization and a total of exactly $95.00. Hell, I can’t even be sure that this is an actual point of sale machine, it looks like it could just be a monitor.

This is clearly fake, right?

Absolutely I still blame people who think he has their interests in mind.

Back in my day, we let the entire ringtone play out because it was “Who let the dogs out”, and we paid 99 cents for it. There was no way we would admit that paying for a ringtone was a dumb idea, so we had to justify it any time we got a phone call.

(By we, I mean millennials, but I never did buy a ringtone. Never understood it, and have used vibrate since my first phone.)

With that data collection, their algorithm for targeted marketing is on a completely different level. I completely believe they’re profitable.

Not only do you have knowledge into people who are likely buyers, you can put them into a buying mood right before showing them the ad so they’re primed for it. Then on top of THAT, you don’t have to design, film or edit the ad - you just pay an influencer to do it for you. It makes it faster, easier and cheaper to AstroTurf brand awareness than ever before.

Relatedly, the only people I know ordering things from Shien or Temu are on TikTok.

The sequel is when the original programmers die and a new team has to come in and figure out WTF their code is doing or even supposed to be doing.
