Man, I’ve been to these meetings.
Shitty MBAs have a shitty idea, and when you go “that’s impossible to do / directly against any sane set of values / clearly and plainly very, very illegal”, they just go “don’t worry about it” and have you do the stupid shit. When it comes crashing down, responsibility is usually distributed like when you take a turd and throw it in a high speed industrial fan, everyone gets a little.
Then you have a choice between either becoming so jaded and cynical that it’s not even funny anymore, or switch jobs. I’ve had too many jobs.

- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 5 days ago:
This the same BrewDog that the term brewdogging was coined for, meaning getting interviewees to solve actual problems in the company, thereby stealing free work from people looking for jobs?
Yeah, fuckem

- Comment on I'm transferring to another ward within my hospital and the whole thing feels odd. How do I sort myself out? 1 week ago:
I’m an ex-tech worker and I went through this every odd year when I switched. Five times in seven years.
It’s always awkward since you are leaving for a reason, and shit always sucks. It’s not you, it’s the system. Focus on your new place. It never gets simpler.

Yeah there are days when you catch some cold that puts you off for a day, but you’re back on your feet one-two days later if you rest.
I’d take a week off to be sure in this case.

People can also be mature before 35.
The idea is that in a country of 320 million, there should be enough qualified people, and nobody cares if you disqualify some people who should still be okay.
There is also the aspect of very old people not having to live with the consequences of their decisions.

They want to own the internet and all the voices on it. That’s the long and short.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Cooking and outdoor BBQ seems to be a match, but even so, even talking about hobbies can be nice. Just ask him about how it’s going what bands he likes, and see if you can take him to a concert or get him an album for example. He’ll enjoy the concert, you’ll be there for the time spent together. Or the painting-woodworking thing someone said.
I think the trick is to approach it from an angle of “I want to participate in your hobby with you”, and see what you can bring to it, and that might get him hooked on reciprocating. Trying to get him to go first with doing the same might more likely result in disinterest.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Ask about their hobbies and let them talk about it, show interest.
You don’t have to be a pro Counterstrike player or a drummer in their band, but playing a match with them every month on a weekend or chatting them up about how the rehearsal went can’t hurt.
What hobbies does your son have?
- Comment on FRAG OUT! 2 weeks ago:
He said it was feminist propaganda because the two main characters didn’t need men and the story didn’t end with a marriage
Just like Alice in Wonderland in 1951, but I suppose the 50s were woke too.
- Comment on Age of Empires designer believes RTS games need to finally evolve after decades of stagnation 2 weeks ago:
Gamers don’t demand multiplayer, companies wanting to sell skins do. When your content is zero effort, mods easily outdo you.
- Comment on How German Police Do Police Brutality 3 weeks ago:
Oh, it’s those attacks.
On the one hand, those really were brutal attacks. It actually helped the far right and eurosceptics in Hungary a lot, because they now feel vindicated in their beliefs as foreigners from the EU came to Hungary to brutally attack people on the streets in an organized group, and various member states shielded them from the law.
Ilaria Salis, who was indicted as the leader, was saved from the trial by Italy making her an MEP. Imagine that happening in your country. It’s hardly defensible, are we saying that Hungarian courts are not capable of ruling over violent attacks in Hungary now?
On the other hand, I don’t know enough about the case to have an opinion on the extradition and Maya specifically, though. A Budapest court is usually not discriminative though, they are shitty towards everyone equally. And the Hungarian government should really ban Breakout Day, it’s technically against the law, but Orbán thrives on chaos.
