I’m confused, how does one shoot guillotines at someone?
- Comment on holy moley 1 week ago:
“Comply” with 3 conflicting orders being screamed at you behind masks.
Get shot anyway.

Do you expect them to hand deliver mail and then also knock like a primitive with their hands?

Better than Shoot Loops.

A 300 million dollar mansion for one person. A 1.2 billion dollar prison complex for a few hundred people . Everyone else is homeless and lives under a bridge.

Watched friend fall to their death and it was extra funny because their sudden scream and then silence.
10/10 would play again.

Peak has been an incredibly fun game and WELL worth the price even if they never released any updates at all ever again.
But not only is the game fun and cheap to buy, but has a lot of replay potential and the devs release new updates and biomes and items and mechanics and even silly stuff like this April fools and the bbno$ concert thing. It’s been a blast playing off and on as the game evolves.
I can’t imagine how anyone could still complain after all that.
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 weeks ago:
Updating tickets and all the other bs red tape seems to be the ONLY part of office work that AI hasn’t infected yet and it’s the only part I wouldn’t mind letting AI do, because it doesn’t matter and no one reads it.
Let me write code and let AI write all the paperwork and approve the paperwork and go to meetings.

- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 1 month ago:
I’m not convinced he killed the first. The pictures they showed as evidence looked like completely different people, his backpack was lighter than his clothes in one, then darker than his clothes in another.
Then they “caught him” at a restaurant with a backpack full of all the most convenient evidence days later.
Weird. If I did that I sure wouldn’t be hanging out in restaurants DAYS later still toting around all the evidence just for the luls.

Same. 5 full years WFH and honestly work was enjoyable AND I got so much more actual work done.
But we gotta RTO now because uhhhh… Reasons!
I get nothing done anymore and I’m just frustrated all day and all my time is utterly wasted. No time to get work done, no time to get home chores done, constantly exhausted from the pace of running back and forth to meetings and driving all over the place wasting time and gasoline.
So glad I burned a gallon of gasoline into the air and wasted an hour to move my ass from a comfy chair at home on a teams call to a less comfy chair in a different building with a worse desk to join a teams call. Productivity!!!

- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 6 months ago:
Anyone using woke or Antifa or liberal or dei as an insult doesn’t care about the actual definition. They probably don’t even know the definitions at all. It’s all just hate and propaganda and racism and bigotry and tribalism.
Surprise, MAGA is what happens when pathological liars and narcissists and abusers and bullies and racist bigots get into politics. And they are non stop DARVO on everything.

Nobody wants to pay a livable wage anymore. Lazy executives and CEOs wanting work for free. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and find a way to pay people what they are worth and maybe stop buying so many avocado yachts and Starbucks summer homes with all that money they hold out on paying us with.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 7 months ago:
Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don’t file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don’t deserve our tax dollars.

It is a bit of a stretch maybe, BUT ALSO, try being a woman in a toxic male dominated workplace and I get it.
But the problem isn’t actually the layout, it’s the environment and culture of that place.

I’ve been remote for 5 years, since Covid. And it’s been wonderful. I’ve been more productive, happier, better relationship with my family, had more time for hobbies and cooking healthy, spent WAY less money on fast food and gasoline. Before Covid I was in an office and hated it, but didn’t even know why, after I was home for a few weeks I realized why, it’s because I wasn’t being interrupted and distracted every 5 seconds all day long and when I had meetings I could keep working while talking on the video call instead of having to log off, get up and walk to a meeting room.
Now they are making half the company come back in if you are within some arbitrary radius. Which means teams are all split like mine where half must now commute in, but half don’t, so me and half my team now has to commute in just to go into a conference room and join a video call with the other half.
And the meetings are scattered all over every day so that basically means no actual work will get done every day.
I’m looking forward to chatting with my coworkers and laughing as productivity tanks.
Maybe instead of having meetings all day and forcing people to commute in for a computer based job management could be clear about what is needed, enable people and set them up for success and then leave them alone to get it done.
It feels like trying to swim 100m, but there is a manager walking along the edge next to you asking you for updates every 5 seconds. Still swimming and the more you ask the longer this takes.
I think RTO is just a power play. They can do a soft pay cut, a soft layoff as people quit, establish dominance and force employees to be their fake little family instead of their actual families.
It’s so ridiculous.
It’s the same fad thing as Open Office Layouts were a decade or two ago. Everyone hates it, productivity tanked, it was miserable, but everyone was doing it so CEOs did it to show how current they were.

It’s a classic manipulation technique. It’s never “I think that…” It’s always framed as “Lots of people think that …” to give it credibility, but it’s a lie and meant to manipulate you into feeling like you are alone and the group all thinks differently than you to force you to comply.
Lots of leaders do it. Trump does it constantly. CEOs do it. Abusive people do it in their relationships.
Once you know it and recognize it you start seeing it EVERYWHERE from dishonest people.
It’s funny to ask them “Which people say that?” If you can. It makes them SQUIRM.

I guess that can be true, but my company is all over the country. Teams like mine are half local and half out of state. They are forcing us all back in the office, but not for all those far away. There are small teams that have only 1 or 2 people local and they are making that one person drive into an office anyway. It’s like a slap in the face to me.
We’ve proved remote work is better in every metric.
If they really want people to have a better rapport, there are other ways besides decreeing blindly that everyone must travel to a central space. It just puts all the cost and burden on the employees and takes 0 effort from management to actually, ya know, manage.
