Well, did you kill your parents when you came of age? You can be free from someone without killing them.

Also relevant - you can’t smell porn. Everyone has a scent, especially when doing a physical activity.

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.

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.”

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

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.

I’m both glad you made it out and jealous I don’t have a similar history with another country to move to. You’re a great parent for everything you do for your daughter. Hope the last bit of the trip went smoothly and you find a job quickly.

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.

It’s my favorite Godzilla movie because of this aspect. There’s a scene where I lost it in the theater when the >!Prime Minister is completely certain in telling the press that Godzilla will absolutely never, not in a million years, not make landfall… only to have an underling whisper in his ear that Godzilla just made landfall.!<

I worked for a Japanese company at the time, and could recognize that it wasn’t even heightened for parody. That’s just exactly how it is.

Good job, buddy! You’re getting it! Now just go one step further and think about what it means to pay for insurance. How does that change who pays the doctors and nurses out of those three options? You’re so close!

And yet when they don’t cover “the costs associated with it”, you’d still defend these insurance companies because it wasn’t their responsibility to provide healthcare in the first place, right?

Especially to people who SPECIFICALLY paid you to provide life-saving care.

“Officer, I didn’t drive into the crowd of people, I simply took my foot off the brakes and steering wheel. That’s barely an action! In fact, it reduced the number of actions.”

What are you talking about?

Who do you think designed the murdering, capitalist US health care system?

It did what it needed to.

Now that the damage is done, they can pretend to have integrity again to convince people to believe them when they publish the next “miracle study”.

Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?

Ends in XcQ - link stays blue.

There’s a fact-checked debate from Vox where both parties set 3 facts that they both agree to. Then they provide footnotes and more information that’s not covered by just the facts. I found this format very enlightening while also explaining both points of view without getting heated.

I only found it on YouTube, but it might be available elsewhere.

The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.

“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable

If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.

I think what will hurt worse is that the genocide is still talking place and his sacrifice didn’t move the needle as much as he would have expected.
