Its because the rain stimulates life outside the water, there’s more food everywhere.
The moist soil / sand means grubs & worms come to the surface. Insects are on the move looking for food / evading rain. Birds are snapping them up and discarding bits and pooping. Rain is washing all this stuff from river banks into the water.
Et cetera.
Same thing happens on the rising tide. High tide is the climax. Then everyone takes a break on the ebbing tide.

- Comment on card game shop 1 month ago:
That’s just not how interacting with humans works though.
Chances are there are several individuals who visit this shop with “offensive” hygiene.
The sign isn’t going to stop them coming in.
When you say “hey fuck off stinky”, they’re going to react badly. Pointing to the sign isn’t going to make them any less reactive or defensive.
The correct way to handle this is to pull them aside, tell them you really appreciate them visiting the store, they’re really into the hobby and a key part of the local scene or whatever, but last time they came in a few other customers mentioned their hygiene.
I totally understand that most people don’t want to have that second interaction, that’s fine.
My point is, in either approach the sign doesn’t help.

Like most signs, this will be ignored by the people it’s intended for.

- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 month ago:
Yeah so I was raised in a reasonably devout household, and I’ve never really been able to resolve this.
Its related to the fundamental attribution error - we judge others by their actions but ourselves by intentions. Except its more than that because religion creates this us vs them dynamic, where anyone who is “us” has good intentions, but anyone who is them does not.
Let’s suppose a “good” person is one who performs acts of altruism, has integrity, and a high level of emptiness self awareness.
In my experience these “good” people are a small part of any group. Any race, creed, city, social group, whatever.
With that in mind, I don’t think religion makes people good - rather its a system of beliefs that allows people to perceive themselves and their friends as good.
Really I think this explains why religion is so prevalent. Ultimately being “good” isn’t a very good gig. Imagine doing destitute because you’ve spent your life performing acts of altruism. OTOH if it merely allows one to form a cohesive group of “good” people, i can see how that would be perpetuated.

- Comment on Why aren't Linux based mobile OSes more popular? 1 month ago:
To extrapolate…
Phones are many and varied and while a manufacturer might assist google to ensure android is compatible they sure as shit aint helping any linux OS.
There is no gargantuan megacorporation funding linux OS development, and there is practically no revenue for the few small companies that do. This means the existing implementations are, not very well polished.
Because the UX is so terrible it’s just a non-starter for non-enthusiasts.
Because there are no users there are no app developers.

I think the point you might have missed is, a conviction shouldn’t exclude you from receiving a prize, because you may have been convicted by a corrupt court.
I’m not saying Trump was wrongly convicted, just that a conviction shouldn’t exclude you in and of itself.

As I explained in that comment, everyone lies in interviews, but you can still select the best candidates because some don’t understand what makes someone desirable.
You made this thread asking how to lie to c-suite.

Sure. It’s also what anyone who’s ever hired anyone would say.

Who knows what this guy really meant but we can probably infer some things.
He did not take the opportunity to say “You’re really amazing and interesting and smart and funny” or anything similar.
It’s also a weird thing to say.

You seem to be laboring under several misconceptions.
Firstly, that being a parasitic middle manager is somehow undesirable. It’s natural to dislike the people who are supervising you (but building some kind of ideology around that to justify your dislike is a bit cringe). However, as they progress through their lives most people want more money, more responsibility, more challenge, and with those things comes more authority.
Secondly, that anyone complaining about “parasitic middle managers” would actually refuse the opportunity to take such a role if they were able to do so.
I’m sure that “parasitic middle managers” do exist, but one feature of capitalism (which I’m sure you also despise) is that it’s very good at weeding out people that don’t produce any value. In the vast majority of cases, the parasitic middle managers you’re talking about are in fact well experienced and highly skilled professionals, who earned the role on merit because they can produce lots of value.
It’s the same way everyone that doesn’t own a home complains about landlords, but ultimately aspires to be one.

Everyone lies in interviews. However, a lot of people don’t understand what will make them desirable so they lie about the wrong thing.
Someone who understands the role enough to lie to make themselves seem desirable is better than someone who doesn’t.

I’m not assuming you’re an idiot, but I’m sure you agree that team members with some aspirations are better than those who like OP, tell you they’re only there for the money.
If you could choose, you surely wouldn’t choose the latter.
