Ah, that does make sense

No he wasn’t a human being, he was a fascist. The two are mutually exclusive. The world is a better place now that he’s not in it and that’s worth celebrating.

I see your point, but Asimov was born in 1920 and Foundation, arguably his greatest work, came out in 1951 when he was 31, the same age numbnuts was. “Barely out of highschool” just doesn’t apply and frankly feels like a disingenuous attempt to disparage youth. Age unfortunately has very little to do with stupid opinions.

Yeah I didn’t mean to come down on the side of “shut it down” just that they have a history of absurdity even if they do mean well. I phrased myself poorly.

I agree. I definitely don’t think that it should be shut down, I was just tactlessly trying to say something along the lines of “pick our battles” or maybe “this feels like a distraction.”

“Energy efficiency program” right. I’m not actually heartbroken about an agency that famously gave certification to nonexistent products going away. It was always just a marketing ploy anyway. Can we maybe focus on the actual damage the fascists are trying to do?

Even if you’re not, who’s buying weed imported all the way from Asia? The farthest my weed comes from is BC, and that but rarely.

I’d honestly never heard of the company before this and I read tech news daily. This isn’t news, it’s gossip.

TBH I haven’t read the books. I am much ashamed. The show is good tho.

Upvoting for Sharpe. Anyone who thinks Sean Bean always dies needs to watch this series.

I’m curious where you got the idea that the church thinks babies are born without sin from when Original Sin is a thing.

Well that’s a travesty

That’s a good question. I guess it might depend on circumstances. A surprise day off before like a long weekend would be pretty cool even if I’ve already made plans I would think, but then I like to stress out and over prep for trips and such. Extra PTO certainly helps when planning ahead tho. A situation like “hey, here’s an extra day for the next long weekend/xmas/whatever” a couple weeks ahead of time might balance being a surprise and allow planning ahead?

To be honest I’ve never thought this through this far before. No employer has never actually asked what I’d prefer and no one looks for thought out solutions when complaining to friends or online.

“I want you to start with the idea that I’m an idiot, but…” is my new favourite disclaimer.

This. My social battery drains like a sieve and I find work related social events especially draining. Give me a bonus and day off instead and I’ll be singing your praises.

I’m pretty sure cats have just always been cats.

A) totally fucked

B) pretty fucked, but if the wildlife doesn’t get me I might stand a chance

C) gonna be a learning curve but should be good to go really
