Save all phone calls you need to make with this manager until you have to go to the bathroom and then call them while making GBS threads and pissing as loudly as you can.

Kith posted:I will never forget working on a game that had a guy who styled himself as the "manager" that hated my loving guts because he learned that I had an SA account. He was an EVE Carebear that had been bullied by Goonfleet and blamed SA for "destroying" Star Citizen after he had invested six figures into it, so he got revenge on all of goon-dom by making the workplace so absurdly toxic that it caused four other people (out of six) to quit in protest over how I was being treated. He then torpedoed the community by banning anyone who asked why the development team nearly evaporated overnight. On the one hand that sucks and I'm sad you dealt with it. On the other hand the fact that someone got suicide ganked in highsec and they were such a lovely person that they took it out on an unrelated person in real life is the kind of vindication one rarely gets these days.

Coasterphreak posted:The other thing to consider in this conversation is that the size of ships is fundamentally limited by the ability to pass through the Panama Canal/Strait of Hormuz/Suez Canal. Nobody is going to pay millions of dollars for a ship that has to sail all the way to Antarctica and back to deliver a payload, it just doesn’t make sense. That's why extra floaty bits makes sense. Going through a canal, just put the containers on the floaty bits and tow them behind you. THen when you're through, put them back on the ship and use the extra floats to keep you upright! Bing bong so simple.

Then my coworker mentioned a Banh Mi salad recipe she saw and i'm slapping myself on the forehead for not thinking of just yeeting banh mi stuff onto arugala or kale or something and eating that.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:You know, it’s funny that this keeps coming up. Corporate profits are still at record levels, just not growing as fast. Yet everyone seems to be convincing themselves that the economy is about to go off a cliff, and laying off people and cutting costs to get ahead of it. But it’s those cuts to employment and spending that are going to cause the recession everyone is afraid of. Predicting the economy is like predicting the patterns of herd animals in a sense, but it really feels like there are folks actively steering us towards the cliff here. Corproate profits are not the same as "the economy"

Cugel the Clever posted:Just LOL that "what about AMERICA'S exploitation of tech cos." is still used as a retort to China's exploitation of the same. It's 2023—revisionist authoritarian powers are loving with their neighbors and undermining democracies, but some still can't let a criticism against them get by without empty equivocation. Care to quote any handwaves or are you just yelling at voices in your head?

A.o.D. posted:It's a whataboutism in the sense that it's being suggested that nothing be done about it because "eh, we do it to ourselves". It's like like letting your neighbor's dog piss in your house because your own dog isn't housebroken. I mean, should we allow secret Chinese police stations because we've got lovely cops of our own? Whataboutism is a deflection from a question someone doesn't want to answer by turning the tables back at the questioner. Whataboutism: "Do you think TikTok should be banned because of the threat posed by China using the data?" "American companies do it and i don't see you saying anything about that!" Not whataboutism: "Do you think TikTok should be banned because of the threat posed by China using the data?" "I don't think it's a big deal since my own country does it to me too" Absolutely no one in this thread has said that the things that social media do and enable aren't bad. No one is deflecting from a sensitive topic. People just have different levels of give a poo poo about it, specifically because of the fact that china is not at all unique in this.

Farming douglas firs in the desert is dumb and a waste of precious environmental resources, but if you live somewhere that there's millions of them within spitting distance and it rains year round, enjoy your christmas tree. Wait are people actually doing christmas tree farms in the desert?

Comrade Blyatlov posted:i thought grand juries only indict with a very high probability of conviction The DA are the ones who bring cases to grand jury, so a case is probably only going to show before them if the DA thinks they can either win it or plea it. It's a bit of self selection.
