One placed laid me off. I was a senior telecom/network admin in IT, so while I wouldn’t have due to personal morals, I definitely had potential to, with even just my badge access.
They gave me about 3 weeks, with no access. They told me I was gone officially at the end of the month and my would be paid normally until then, after which severance would kick in, but don’t come in.
I think that’s a fine way to do it.

The only person I’ve had this reaction from was a genx man yelling that he wasn’t being emotional but instead logical. Said man did the standard co.plain about wife and say women are emotional, and also argued that animal abuse shouldn’t be punishable by law because animals don’t have souls.

Now we know why teacher isn’t teaching math, but they should definitely not be teaching reasonableness either.

I have metal versions. I don’t really use em, but they’re for stuff like alcoholic drinks or whiskey on ice but for if you don’t want it to get watered down, just cold. I have two that look like metal golf balls and 6 that are small cubes,and they generally just sit somewhere atm.
I’ve used em to cool booze before, but I haven’t drank any high percentage alcohol in a while.
- Comment on Anon visits a guy's house 2 days ago:
My ice cubes are small enough that rinsing them would waste more water than just tossing the very few that fall. I toss em in the sink.

You probably think no one wants to hear it when they disagree, but more likely what works for you doesn’t work for everyone. As the person replying to you exemplified. There isn’t a one trick for everyone in these kinda of things, and anyone who claims there is is either ignorant or scamming.

Bunch of Klansmen(some who knew Ron Paul and one of those started Stormfront) really overestimated themselves, yeah. They got caught before they even left the US kinda hilariously.

Well, there was Operation Red Dog by 13 (3 being agents so really more like 9-10) people who tried to take over Dominica and make it a white ethnostate…

Check your weight in the morning then later in the day. It always fluctuates, with your overnight fast/ not drinking water making you lose some weight if you couldn’t gain any but could still lose weight, you’d eventually wither away.

My issue with 6 is that it feels like a monkey paw. There are times we shouldn’t be happy, like tragedies happening to others, deaths ,etc. While being overall happy in life sounds great, always happy sounds like a cognitive issue.

I don’t use it, but I assume the writes for you was to imitate VS Codes GitHub copilot. While it will suggest code in stuff like scripts, you can absolutely ignore it

Big spiders are actually quite fragile from what I understand. Though I’ve never owned one.

I think it’s a type of vape, but it was popular a while ago and I haven’t heard much since. Maybe this is an old meme?

As a person who plays Final Fantasy, the only character with an ass that big is Byregot. Maybe she’s got his blessing.

I understand the appreciation of the…“theatre” of wrestling, but I can’t get past how much it destroys their bodies. I don’t watch football either. I could watch fiction about both.

Eh, that’s your view of it. I first came across this joke in high school, with our chemistry teacher. He didn’t do it to feel superior; if he wanted to do that he could humiliate us in different ways. He used it as a teaching opportunity to show how a slight exaggeration on true facts and a complicated sounding word could confuse people.
He probably also did it to show us why learning some chemistry nomenclature could help us out. He was a fun teacher that loved showing us the joy of science, not a condescending asshole.
You seem to think we all enjoy tricking people, but there are several comments here explaining the joke for people who don’t get it. If they weren’t here, I or someone else would have. Not everyone who has a little fun with something someone doesn’t know yet does it maliciously.
The whole 1 in 10000 xkcd thing is something I love, and whenever my fellow IT people get angry that some client doesn’t know something we find obvious, I counter that there’s tons of law, fashion, medical etc stuff we dint know but our clients are experts at.

Very intelligent people can like childish fart jokes and dad jokes. It has nothing to do with their intelligence; people just have opinions on humor. I don’t like scatological jokes, but I don’t try to define someone’s intelligence with it. That would be extremely stupid, as they are not related.

Ehh, too jingoistic for me. I don’t really like flag based outfits unless it’s something like the Olympics, but I also mostly dislike that too (not the athletes, but the organization and the damage it does to areas it’s held in).

I sometimes ask questions, and sometimes I’m forced to because the original answer somehow misinterpreted my query. I also do searches like you mentioned, but I don’t exclusively do one of the other.

I had googled for it and saw people say they tried support and couldn’t get it, so I didn’t myself, but I guess I should have tried anyway.

I found an open source replacement for Lightroom that finally worked (others I tried crashed loading my raws). While testing it, my subscription renewed (I can take criticism that I should have known and cancelled before renewal, but…) I then tried cancelling right after, but Adobe only gives a grace period on first purchase, not renewals. If subscription automatically charges, that money is gone.
- Comment on Anon doesn't understand mirrors 1 month ago:
I don’t get the frame problem; many mirrors are framed, and lots of them used to check stuff like hair styling etc. My bathroom mirror gets too fogged up to check after a shower, and it’s always good to once over yourself.
Not trying to shill for Amazon but as an example www.amazon.com/framed-wall-mirrors/s?k=framed+wal…
Of course you might just mean the framing as in composition.

My motivator to get out of bed is not getting fired and feeding the cat. I seldom drink coffee. Made well I enjoy the taste, but it’s ever been good at keeping me awake or making me productive.

I love raw onions on salad and some burgers/sandwiches. Usually red.
