Just in case it comes up later, since I assist in purchasing for the company I work for, what software is it?

For instance, the reason why minimum wage jobs do not have set work hours for most people is that having a constantly changing schedule that varies every single week makes it harder for people to do things that can break the cycle.
Things like, going to college or go to a trade school or participating in external events that would allow them to meet other people that could give them a leg up in the world.
Don’t blame your manager or even the regional manager of the story you work for. This policy is being passed down from on high. Your manager is simply forced to do it.
Chances are they are just in the slightly more profitable portion of the cycle. Their increased paycheck comes in part from gently oppressing their co-workers in service of their masters.

If you “became autistic” because of a vaccine, you were already autistic and you only became aware of and concerned about your autism after the correlation was presented to you.

None of the companies I have worked with do that. What we do instead is we disable their login, and we also make sure that the PC is encrypted, so that if they do not return it, they will, of course, have to pay us for it, and then they can wipe it and reinstall and do whatever they want to do with the physical hardware.
Most people just return the hardware. Actually, now that I think about it, I think only once did we have an issue with getting the hardware back and we had still ended up with the hardware back after like a nine month delay.
- Comment on Brigitte Macron to present scientific and photographic evidence to US court proving she’s a woman 2 days ago:
In legal terms from what I understand, it’s to verify that Candace knowingly and willingly made false statements, elevating the claims that she made from satire or humor or freedom of the press to slander.
Even though she’s saying these things about the French Prime Minister, the lawsuit is happening in America, so it has to meet America’s qualification standards in order to go through.
Proving that Frances First Lady is a woman by showing the pictures of her being pregnant, for instance, will verify that she is indeed a female born and therefore the statements that Candace made were intended to cause harm

Yeah, it’s not like they just blindly accepted what he said. They held up a feather or a leaf or a sheet of paper and a lead weight and dropped them both at the same time and the lead weight hit the ground while the leaf was still fluttering in the wind.
- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 2 days ago:
Being woke: very cool.
Performative “wokeness”, specifically the overbearing type that attempts to impose your beliefs and opinions on other people: very uncool.
When those right-wing jackasses say woke, they mean the latter, even though they’re using the former.
Also, since the actual thing they are against is the “attempting to impose your belief and opinions on other people”, it’s hypocritical of them because that’s what they’re doing.
They’re just not doing it in a way that attempts to make everyone all peace, love, and joy.
The irony is that they expect to receive peace, love, and joy in exchange for their anti-performative wokeness stance against the peace love and joy types.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 3 days ago:
Not a Vizio and not a Samsung.
Not Vizio because their customer support is terrible and the firmware updates they push render older televisions slow as dog shit and require customer service intervention to undo.
Not Samsung because their panels are so fucking blue that it scalds your eyes.
Probably not an LG because their webOS interface is dogshit.
So I guess a Sony Bravia because it can be used as a dumb TV or worst case like a TCL or something. I just use my cell phone Wi-Fi as its Wi-Fi setup and then change the Wi-Fi SSID so that it gets to talk once and then never again.

- Comment on Is social media a stupid-people aggregator? 1 week ago:
It’s also an amazing example of the phrase “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups” and social media is a grouping function for stupid people.
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 1 week ago:
I was saying holy fuck because this was how I found out and I’ll skip watching the video because I’ve seen enough live leak from like 2008 to 2016 to satisfy any grotesque need for me to see somebody getting murdered for the rest of my life.

- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 weeks ago:
And after actually putting my quotes into it, I was horribly wrong, but still, that’s how I would have done it.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 weeks ago:
For me, it would be more about figuring out the rough volume. So, like, you look at a hazelnut, it appears to be about a half-inch spherical value. There seem to be about 6 wide across the bottom, so you could assume that the bottom is somewhere around three inches wide. The top is probably closer to about 5 inches wide. And the height is going to be something like 6 inches.
This is also using rough guesstimation from my own personal knowledge of cups.
So with that information I would use what I remember of the cylinder formula, which is pi times diameter times height I think.
And average the two diameters for a four, so you would go four times six times pi is about 75 cubic inches of volume. Each hazelnut uses about 3/4 of an inch of volume so I would guess there are about 100 hazelnuts in the cup.
That being said, the question is not, what is the correct way to guess it, just how would I do it, and this is how I would do it.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 weeks ago:
1, all is not a numeric value 2, not all of them are in the cup. Some of them are resting on top of others that are in the cup, but they themselves are outside of the cup’s boundaries.
- Comment on Anyone else notice this?? 3 weeks ago:
I live in a geodesic dome and I have a free-standing wood-burning stove as a supplemental heat source in my master bedroom which overlooks the living room.
It is capable of heating the entire house by itself, but I only use it like two or three times a year.
That being said, it’s often very nice to start a fire on a cold day and have a girl over and have the fire. It’s a good excuse to not be wearing any clothes.
- Comment on Without AI I never would have know this 3 weeks ago:
In the AI’s defense, it didn’t tell you to do it. It just said you can try.
Kind of like that uncle we all grew up with if we grew up in the 90s that like could tell you how to do all sorts of illegal shit, but never told you to do the illegal thing. Just said, “Oh yeah, if you wanted to do that, I would do this.”
Like, if you had just watched a crime movie, the conversation would go to how you would rob a bank and the uncle would whip out some, like, 40-step plan to rob a bank and get away with it involving ATVs and picking the right location and who his accomplices are.
But, like, you can, at the same time, you also know the uncle would never do it. He’s talking out of his ass, making all this shit up on the fly.

www.etymonline.com/word/jigaboo
I know that word because I’ve heard it said many a time. I grew up in the racist south and apparently the word is well over a hundred years old, so when Snoop used it against other people, he was trying to say like a worse word than the n word to describe those people.

Every so-called edgy comic or musician from the 70s-00s have all either sold out or faded away.

That’s fucking racist, dude.
You can dig on him for his words and his choices, and the things that he has control over, all you want, I’ll be completely and totally behind you, having your right to an opinion.
You can’t say shit like that. That’s not fucking cool.

I mean, yes, but she’s only physically and mentally 14.
If you put a child in cryostasis until she’s technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.

I’m gonna need a source for that 'cause, like, they weren’t really concerned about creepiness back in the 60s from what I can tell.

- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 4 weeks ago:
I think happiness is more generally defined as the absence of things that make you unhappy rather than a tangible thing itself.
Kind of like how cold is defined by the absence of heat.
The issue is, is that people think that happiness is a concrete thing, and so when they are asked if they are happy, they start looking for some like joyous positive, buoyant, radiant, plus in their lives.
And then, when they don’t find it, it makes them wonder if they are not happy.
Happiness is the capacity to be engaged with your life under your own volition.
If you have that, even if you don’t feel the way you think happiness should feel, you are happy.
Happiness is not contentment.
Happiness is not joy.
Happiness is not a warm blanket on a cold winter’s day.
Happiness is being alive and present in your center.
If you feel like you are not happy, that is what you should aim for. All of the other things will work themselves out in the process.
