I mean... the PO shouldn't have come in at 5:01 if they wanted it approved that day. That's just rude.
I work in document control, so I'm sending documents between companies regularly. Often, at the end of the week someone will dump a 100+ document transmittal on us half an hour before the end of the day. And then they go home.
You bet your ass that shit is waiting til Monday.

I mean... you didn't say anything else, how else could you have meant it? You even complained that them leaving on time was inconvenient when someone else dumped something in their desk after working hours.
- Comment on Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.? 6 months ago:
That is 100% not how you framed your initial comment. It was very much focused on how the workers weren't going above and beyond to work when they didn't have to.
Sounds to me like they were reacting to a shit situation in the most appropriate way they could.
- Comment on Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.? 6 months ago:
So you're saying they should have worked less?
- Comment on Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.? 6 months ago:
So... they knew the value of their own time and didn't overwork when they didn't have to?
Most office workers could probably learn from that mindset.

They're basically online loyalty accounts like you'd have at retail stores.

Perhaps that's the level of chocolate? Like you can have 90% dark chocolate, this is 40%.
- Comment on Should I permanently leave Israel? 6 months ago:
He is more hated, yes, but a lot of the people who hate him will vote for him anyway because they've been led to believe the alternative is the end of civilization as they know it.

I think it's actually pretty short as Cannes standing ovations go.

- Comment on Ubisoft Cancels The Division Heartland 7 months ago:
I'm sure they can churn out a bunch more half-finished board game and game show adaptations.
- Comment on Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves' 7 months ago:
More importantly, the system we all accept (willingly or not) requires that people be employed to survive.
It's not a matter of wanting to be employed, as needing to be employed.

Maybe they have one of the shitty adblockers for some reason.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 7 months ago:
It is like No Man's Sky in that most people who weren't fanatical about saying it had a huge turn around stopped caring about it after a year or so.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 7 months ago:
Because corporations make things based on the demand of those individual people. They don't exist in a vacuum. And they're not going to change because someone on the internet rants about them. Their only incentive is profit
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 7 months ago:
And of course the land couldn't be used for anything else... like natural ecosystems.
Just because land exists doesn't mean it needs to be pillaged to feed our desires.

... and steel was brought up.

Steel, I believe, needs much higher temperatures and purified inputs.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 7 months ago:
Is impeachment the only thing the House can do? They can't enact any other kinds of legislation? Current legislative efforts not-withstanding.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 7 months ago:
Aren't most of the claims of immunity because congress is supposed to be the one that holds the president accountable? So as long as the House doesn't hold the president to account, they can do anything... but clearly Democrats are more willing to prosecute those in their own party than Republicans... so it's far more likely that Biden would face consequences for his actions than Trump did.

They were called pagers back then.

I'm sure they got their year-end bonus of a half-spent $25 starbucks gift card.
- Comment on Former Blizzard president wants to be able to leave a "tip" after completing $70 games: "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20" 8 months ago:
Ah yes, we must spread tipping culture to all facets of life, clearly.
There are other ways of showing appreciation than throwing money at people. The problem is their livelihood is dependent on that kind of financial gratitude because of the actions of you and your ilk, Mr. Ybarra.
