IT support work be like
  • Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.

    I don't understand this. What happens when you do that?

    Anon is completely sane
  • College students that think they’re being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying

    This. The specific problem my alma mater ran into was all the conservative students saying they were getting bullied, and when asked how they were bullied, the response was basically "People disagreed with me and now they don't want to hang out with me!"

    Sometimes I wonder if they'd actually been bullied, if their tune would've been different...

    What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated?
  • Yeah, I went back to finish this game after 20 years of having not beat it. It definitely has a lot of major issues. The original literally does not use the standard control scheme of X button to confirm. It was worth it to be able to say I finally beat it after all these years, but it is 100% one of those games that make you realize that some old games were not polished or refined in the slightest. And also that translating from Japanese to English was apparently just not as well-tread ground back then.

    And yeah, fuck Orlandu. You spent the whole game raising up your other swordsmen? Lol get fucked

    A fraying coalition: Black, Hispanic, young voters abandon Biden as election year begins
  • As a member of the current media boogeyman group who is facing legal bans from receiving life-saving care: Can we please get our shit together? I get it, it doesn't feel good to vote for a candidate who does bad things. You know what's worse? De facto electing someone who does that same shit to a worse degree, who also does literally everything else wrong. I voted Stein in 2016 and have regretted it ever since. It didn't make anything better. I don't even feel like I "stuck it to the Dems". We all just suffered as a result. Please don't make my mistake.

    Is it ever acceptable to interrupt people during conversation or especially important dialogue/argument/debate?
  • I don't know how to deal with it with 99% of people, but between my wife and I we have a system. When someone is talking and the other has a response they want to say to something, they hold up their finger. The speaker then wraps up their thought and gives the other person room to speak. It isn't foolproof but it helps a lot. We both have the problems you're describing otherwise / we still have those problems, but it's better than otherwise.

  • I hate the menthol ones, but the ricola herb drops are the shit. Obviously they aren't going to numb you up as hard as the menthol ones, but they feel helpful without being overpower.

    What's a cool website you’ve visited that no one seems to know of?
  • Yeah, I feel like it's heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

    • I'm trying to think of how to quantify a "Have 0 debt" option but like, post mortgage or something.
    • Establish a friend group
    • Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
    • Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
    • See a historical human-made artifact in person
    • See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
    • Visit your country's capital
    • Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

  • Disclaimer, part 2 has not finished running. But it’s mostly the same code as part 1 and it works on the small sample data so it’ll be fine.

    RIP?

  • Pelosi says interim House speaker McHenry has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building

    https:// www.cnn.com /2023/10/03/politics/pelosi-vacate-office-capitol-mchenry-interim-speaker/index.html

    Truly the most important thing the interim House speaker should be focusing on right now - petty bullshit while someone is mourning a colleague. /s
