Is there a time out/mental health box at your warehouse?

At my facility there is a 4'x4' clear box at the edge of the break area. Just a chair inside. they tell us it's for those who are having a mental health crisis.

Last night for the first time, I saw a co-worker go inside and sit down. Kinda messed up that you are on full display for everyone to see you in there.

Are we supposed to call someone if a person goes into the box?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

I've worked in a couple offices with open floor plans and all glass walls around conference rooms and whatnot, it's really bizarre. One place had rules against buying any decorations like plants that might block view through the glass, the aesthetic was supposed to be that everyone is on display all the time.

Of course the executives had their own floor on the top of the building with none of this glass nonsense, everybody on the 9th floor gets their own private office.

If you are white and there is a black person nearby then by the time the cops get to you their bloodlust may gave been sated enough to allow for a brief window in which you can safely interact.
(Safe from immediate physical harm that is. They're still going to try to ruin your life.)

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
In retrospect we probably shouldnt have counted on nerds being the ones to stick it to the oppressors

yeah it's a bit tricker to block ads when they're injected into the medium from server-side, instead of the viewer having a script request separate assets that are easily recognizable just by syntax or context clues

On Firefox (and probably Chrome too) there’s a specific plugin just for blocking Twitch ads.

Some serious dystopia, right down to the "if you're not a criminal, you've got nothing to hide!"

The people against it should just pull literally all of the records for the people who voted for it and their families and present it in a Power Point at the next HOA meeting.

"Looks like you left late for work a little late on Wednesday, Bob; getting a little morning delight in with the lady, eh? What's wrong, Bob, if you're not a criminal you have nothing to hide!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroVironment_Switchblade



quote:

The AeroVironment Switchblade is a loitering munition developed by AeroVironment. It is designed as a "kamikaze," being able to crash into its target with an explosive warhead to destroy it. The Switchblade is small enough to be carried in a backpack and can be launched from a variety of ground, maritime, and air platforms.


quote:

n October 2020, AeroVironment revealed they had teamed with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions to demonstrate a "high-speed, long-range unmanned combat air vehicle" that serves as a mothership to deliver Switchblade 300s in large numbers that cooperatively attack and overwhelm enemy defenses.

Washington Post posted:

“Are we going to stop homicides? No, but we will drive the clearance rate for homicides to 100 percent so people think twice before they kill someone,” he said. “There are 17,000 cities in America. Until we have them all, we’re not done.”

Even the studies which conclude more cops reduces crime make an exception for homicides, because homicides typically happen indoors away from cameras, so "we will drive the clearance rate for homicides to 100 percent" is a lie.
