That would only be the case under a profit share agreement and the vast VAST majorities of businesses see salary as a cost center.

I once had a teacher take us all down the pub

Another who decided the lesson would be best spent in the woods and we didn’t get any work done

Another you could distract by getting him talking about the Simpsons and barely do any work

My history teacher used to make us role play as Romans and wear togas

Like these things happen all the time

before tiktok we had to rely on our friends sketchy older brother to tell us new ways to get high.

Same as it ever was.

Appropriately for the meme - also both boomers.

why do we hate the us government

uhhhh where do you wanna start. I mean pick a year between 1776 and now. Pick a month, probably.

they said that about suffrage and women’s suffrage too.

I feel like I’m starting to see way more sympathetic comments than I did a year ago.

even just on simple stuff I asked it to generate a description on something like

if x then set z to null

and it returned

“this will set z to null if x is true or false”

like easy to edit, but you have to pay attention.

Well in my case that the eventual employer pays

not sure this is a great tip. Only jobs I got past 1st stage with this year was through a recruiter, applying solo got me auto booted from over 120 jobs.

If there’s no way to get to the top, how is the upward mobility “great”?

interesting, how does one become a billionaire in such a way that anyone and everyone could do it?

not at home but I believe there’s a few that run in docker.

the best answer I can find is that the Olympic committee protested that it would affect whether the Olympics would accept attendance in that city if they allowed it, maybe someone can do a deeper dive.

Of why it’s coming back - a) Trump repopularized execution, b) Pfizer caved to public pressure to stop producing lethal injection drugs and c) electric chairs aren’t humane and suffer the same issue as firing squad that executioners suffer PTSD, it’s not very humane - being painful, long and often taking multiple attempts until the victim has a heart attack, which they of course experience and then die.

It seems like the answer I can get is that nobody really likes killing people, those that do suffer PTSD, and the messier the method the more unpopular it is.

Probably, with a bit of reflection, many people don’t actually like the death penalty when it comes to being present at it.

Due to blood being produced I believe that’s disqualified. Otherwise a .22 caliber bullet followed instantly by a .22 hollow point to both the brain and the heart simultaneously would be the fastest and most humane experience for the victim.

However, very few people want to build and operate such a contraption.

The war on drugs is a euphemism. Ending It doesn’t mean stop drug legislation, it means stop putting parents in jail for 10 years and putting their kids in care because they smoked weed and the kid accidentally told a cop when the cop visited their school and told them if they didn’t rat out their parents something worse would happen.

People wanting to kill themselves probably take care to do it.

Anesthesiologists won’t do it. That’s why they had so much trouble executing the guy in the first place: its not a doctor doing it, just a prison guard.

I’ve come to realize that a significant portion of people just think other people should die and that’s fair and they’re OK with being the ones to do it.

I saw an Instagram reel the other day of someone in the military describing the best way to decide who to kill and who not to as you storm a civilian building, plus the latest Behind the Bastards about Yarvin’s affect on JD Vance and their belief that violence / killing and enforced poverty / slavery is not only a necessary but desirable method of governmental change - not as a reaction to oppression but as administrative.

Automated a copywriting gig on an extremely locked down terminal entirely in Excel VBA.

It would open my email, download the list of tasks, open a browser, extract the official product copy, RegEx it into bullets, I would add a few verbs and conjunctions, hit a button it would upload it to the CMS. Turned an 8 hour day into 30 mins.

Consider this: I pick up a tennis racket and a tennis ball, so does my wife, we go to a tennis court, I hit the ball to her gently, she hits it back: Are we playing tennis or not?

If we are not, what are we doing?

And yet it’s nowhere near the level of Serena Williams, or even the local semi Pro tournament, or probably even the local tennis club.

why does it have it be good, or more accurately for this conversation- why do you have to like it for it even to exist and have a name?

I dont particularly care for The Wiggles, or for Machine Gun Kelly, but both of them produce music. Just because I don’t like it, or think it’s not good doesn’t mean it’s not music. Even a child slowly, shakily playing a basic C major scale and getting it wrong is still “music.” Its not Mozart but it still exists.

There is no “point” or “value” you can attach to tennis, music or sculpture - or other forms and media of art, entertainment, sport, science etc that means it suddenly becomes that. Art you don’t like is still art.
