If Brad is late then we get to go home, 15 minute rule, just like in school.
No but seriously, Brad is anyone who was there. Someone should be taking notes and sending them in a follow up. Because not everyone is going to be there all the time. Make your systems around people and they’ll work better than just holding everyone up and getting mad.

Millennials aren’t doing hot either. As best as I can tell Gen Z has the best chance because they’ve adjusted to the new economic reality.

This really depends on what you’re doing.
If you’re in IT nobody should care. If you’re doing an artillery barrage then being late could mean a lot of your people die.
Highly dependent on what you do for work. But if Bob the Bookstore Manager wants me to treat a cashier job with the same respect as a military mission then he better be willing to issue me a rifle and a 400,000 dollar life insurance policy

10 is the best time for morning meetings, just like 2 in the afternoon. After you’ve had a chance to get going, before people are hungry. And 2pm is after the lunch snooze but early enough to fix stuff before close of business.
Putting meetings super early or late is an attempt to prevent interruption in workflow but meetings should be rare enough that it’s not an issue and it is the productive thing for that morning/afternoon.

It really depends on what you do. If you’re in a factory and the entire line is held up or someone is staying extra time from a previous shift then it’s a big deal. If you’re late to the daily IT stand up meeting you can get the notes from Brad.
- Comment on Justice should be equal 22 hours ago:
That’s normal though. I mean it shouldn’t be, but they always go as hard as they can hoping you’ll plead guilty to avoid a trial. When they say the death penalty is meant to dissuade criminals, they know it doesn’t work on crimes. It works on getting guilty pleas.

That math doesn’t math. I’m just the right kind of old to know, no coffee required.
- 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:
Yeah, until the danger is passed at any rate. Homeless doesn’t need to mean in the streets though.
- Comment on Could the next US Administration feasibly order USCIS to destroy Naturalization records in order to make it easier to mass deport citizens? 2 days ago:
I know, that’s why I was talking about the political consequences of doing stuff. I fully expect there will be illegally fast deportations for anyone they believe is undocumented. Citizens and green card holders need to keep their documents and copies of their documents accessible in case they get swept up in that, (It’s happened before). But actually going after citizens and green card holders as the objective, without due process, creates a lot of problems for them. And they have 13 million undocumented people to work through with a system capable of doing 2 million in a 4 year period right now. It’s entirely possible they just never get to the next part of their list.
- Comment on Could the next US Administration feasibly order USCIS to destroy Naturalization records in order to make it easier to mass deport citizens? 2 days ago:
I’m not sure at that point that they would care. Why do all that when they can just deport people and block them at the points of entry. They could deport a citizen, turn off their passport, and if they show back up detain them for fraudulent ID documents and then either deport them again or send them to the concentration camp for “hard cases”.
Burning the naturalization documents assumes they even care about courts and bring people in front of them.
That said it would be a massive risk. If they didn’t do about a hundred things right the first time they’d end up quickly removed from office by a mob, escorted by the very NG troops sent to stop them. Americans care about citizenship, but that goes both ways. Removing that without due process would lead to activism and if that’s not disrupted properly they get the bad ending. If they fail to secure the capital, it ends badly. If they fail to secure congress, it ends badly. If they fail to ensure wins in the 2026 and 2028 elections, it ends badly. (and not holding those elections also ends badly, like a civil war at best)
So they’ll most likely continue to use the path they used in Trump’s first term. They’ll challenge naturalization documents in court. The good news is courts are slow and dockets fill up fast. There’s only so much they can do with that.

This isn’t the movies. They aren’t sending one person you can get into a fight with. They’ll just shoot you and ransack your house to make it look like you died in a robbery gone wrong. Just don’t be there.

Live on cash from different ATMs; stay at a hotel/motel; rent a car and change it at different locations every week; go nowhere you don’t need to go; stay offline; Don’t tell anyone where you are; communicate only with your lawyer; record everything in an official manner as soon as possible.
And most of all don’t listen to the billy badasses in here. If a multi billion dollar corporation wants you dead and is willing to break the law they can afford a lot of very nasty people. You aren’t getting the tactical training to stand against them in that short amount of time. Your best defense is to be ghost except when you show up for court dates and depositions. That’s what the Secret Service Witness Protection Program does and it works if you have discipline.
- Comment on Sure, WSJ. Next do an article on Selection Bias 3 days ago:
Yup we just need to travel back in time, attend a select private university, have parents who can give us a living space until we save up for a house, and get a job directly into the C-Suite off the networking from that private university. It could totally happen! We don’t need any workers, everyone can be in the boardroom!
- Comment on Sure, WSJ. Next do an article on Selection Bias 3 days ago:
The entire article is more than mildly infuriating. They’re interviewing the well connected and winners of the economic lottery. Furthermore there’s no mention at all of what that period of depressed earnings does to long term financial gains. With bias like this I don’t even trust their numbers for things like adults reporting they’re doing okay. Another day, another bullshit piece of economic propaganda.

World wide communications are going to get obliterated in a peer level conflict. Drive operators will need to be in the area to communicate with the drones.
- Comment on I guess I'm just a cubicle monkey now 4 days ago:
I rode a vehicle into combat. It’s really not all it’s cracked up to be. You’re sleep deprived, terrified, and every now and then something happens that completely reinforces the randomness of who gets to go home on their feet and who goes home under a flag.
That’s only going to get worse as we get things like turrets that can acquire targets on their own. Ever seen an aimbot video from a game? How do you take out a line of weapons that have pinpoint accuracy and fire as fast as they can physically move their barrels?
The next big war is going to be World War 1 all over again. And the old wars with Knights and Cavalry killed more people with dysentery than the fighting.
Just let me play Doom in a cubicle.

Yeah uh, that wasn’t a good anti smoking ad.
- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 6 days ago:
Those countries are controlling access at the very few origin points. And they can still be foiled by tunnels, VPNs, and Encryption. The only counter is to actually cut the network at that origin point. But that still gives a country sized internet that’s very resilient. Could they start isolating cities? Depends on their infrastructure. I know the mid size town I lived in could be shut down with one cable. (Because road construction hit it at least once a year and 80,000 people lost Internet for a couple days each time)
When it was first envisioned it was supposed to be an actual web. With multiple points of contact at each place. Instead we’ve consistently done the bare minimum to bring the Internet to each place. Meaning in many places there’s only one connection. For an international look at connection points there are undersea cable maps. It becomes clear quite quickly how easy it is to isolate a single country’s web.

There are ways to deal with the kerning and angles. Mostly be drawing lines you later get rid.
- Comment on Help 6 days ago:
Each letter gets it’s own text box. You rotate them once by one. You’ll need to measure distance from inner perimeter of the circle and manage the exact angle to center. So a protractor, string, or drawn line can help. (Draw the line before putting the center picture in.

Well more like millennia. The Romans called the area Syria-Palestine. The Canaanite thing is really just to demonstrate that the Israelis weren’t the original inhabitants even in ancient history.

That’s a great point but if you look at some of my other comments here, it’s not the one I’m making. I am against mob violence. But by articulating our limits we can also limit the possibility that this spills over into higher level mob violence that targets the hated person of the day.

Lmao it’s a little more complicated than that, I’m being very unserious.

I think it’s tied to why you’re seeing the manifesto. If you’re seeing it to discuss motivations and learn that’s not glorification. But let’s not lie to ourselves. Mangione’s manifesto is being shared with a wink and a smile on social media. That is 100 percent glorification. For the purposes of figuring out if what he did was the right thing it’s far better to look at facts and statistics. But let’s go back to Mein Kampf. The only people sharing that on social media with a wink and a smile are Neo Nazis. I don’t know what group sharing Mangione’s manifesto aligns with but it’s a similar situation. That’s not a call to rational discussion, that’s a call to approval.

Funny you should mention candy cigarettes.
Whether it’s candy cigarettes or a nicotine vape depends purely on the person playing the game. A gambling addict could easily see this as their nicotine vape, and it could easily prime kids for casinos.

They literally appealed to the band wagon and a nebulous concept of “social murder”.
