• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Their margins are negative (like 45%negative) in 2 of 3 business units. Business skills like those suggest the leadership isn’t even smart enough to think of suiciding anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨J IS LORD⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It is right up there with ANUSTART.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  None. If you’ve ever worked at Boeing, you know this is not something they are capable of doing (honestly it is a shock they are in business at all).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even the traffic signs are weighing in⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this in SeaTac?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unknown! Profit share is something I’ve done with my own business and feel like it produces better outcomes for everyone (we measure our impact on customers, employees, owners, the business and community to make sure we are serving all of them). I’m looking into actually granting shares, so it is more real for the employees. Maybe other owners don’t do it because it does require some amount of effort and transparency into company performance. IMO, owners can be really lazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you workout when you don't have much time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Treadmill under my desk, so I can walk and work at the same time. And 10 min of Pilates before bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How am I supposed to obtain income?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It has taken me, on average, 6 months to find new work each time I do it and I send hundreds of resumes. So I think you are doing the right things. It just sucks. Sometimes you can get a lead from someone you know and that gets your foot in the door.

  Remember, you are reviewing them as an employer too. If they have a shitty applicant experience, that should play into your decision process (easier said than done when you just want to make rent).

  Feel free to message me if you would like resume or other search help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would social events be better if phones didn't have data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m old enough that my early adulthood did not include cell phones (unless you count the brick phones), and certainly no Internet access. I enjoyed it more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the best way to react if a guy stares at you like he wants to have sex with you when you're doing yoga?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this isn’t an awesome answer, but safety is more important than standing your feminist ground sometimes: either go to another yoga class or bring a friend. It sux to rearrange your life because of some weirdo, but less than being attacked. Also, consider keeping mace or a whistle on you in case there is a confrontation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Misuse, or misjudging when to use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good News!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But I don’t want a plot that differs from classics like Hot Frosty and Knight Before Christmas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I buy it for my kids because they are on the spectrum and McDonald’s French fries are literally 1 of 7 foods one of them will eat. I would eat it, because I love it, but I have celiac and can’t.

  Solid dad joke.

  Touche!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because there are more important topics to cover, such as the fascist leanings of the other key candidate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet, every October⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OMG, I saw a slutty Freddie Kruger costume at Spirit Halloween yesterday (but no non-slutty Freddie Kruger options for women). WTAF.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial picture to some⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No one can explain this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom has vitiligo and this doesn’t seem like it offensive, since it is part of a larger costume. Probably ok at a costume party with close friends or in play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lines can be long, polls have limited hours (often conflicting with work hours), a person may need a ride to the polling location, etc. Some states have stupid rules like you can’t give people in line to vote food or water, which makes standing in line for hours more challenging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having fun with text scams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wut. I screenshot the text exchange myself. He could have copied the phrase from somewhere, like YouTube, but a quick search did not generate a meme or gif. A family member posted it in another community a few weeks ago, so you could have seen it there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I read this tip in the 69 Rules of Power as well⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna go connect with him… emotionally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having fun with text scams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately my parenting has resulted in an 8-year-old that has both a phone and a vocabulary like that. To be fair, he’s autistic and we use the phone as a homing device so he can play in the neighborhood more independently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having fun with text scams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An exchange with a scam texter and my kid.

  I hope this is a real LinkedIn post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missed Connection⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the cyber truck is a fascinating piece of antiart. It looks like something Homer Simpson would design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grind or something⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inspiration at its finest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state’s rules if you want your brain to hurt: dor.wa.gov/education/…/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=S….
