I’ve worked at a lot of different places and in my experience it varies a lot.

Some bosses cut everybody slack. Some bosses are jerks and cut nobody any slack. I would say most of them play favorites with their employees (some are blatant about it, some are more subtle). Some bosses cut the workers with kids more slack. Some bosses cut the workers with kids less slack.

Anecdotal evidence is like that. It’s emotionally compelling, but doesn’t really tell us what’s going on in the bigger picture.

cool, Spez has a Lemmy account

“Find a job doing what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

I used to love software. Then all the Lumberghs took over.

I find going on and off DST to be kind of a nuisance, but I don’t have strong feelings about it one way or the other. It seems like the experience varies from place to place, and your region’s distance to the equator is an important factor. The closer you are to the equator, the less necessary DST is.

Historically, some of the regions that went off of DST much prefer it that way, and never looked back. But others regretted opting out of it, and went back to doing it again after everyone complained about it.

I’m sure 47 will make it all about him, whatever he does. And it will probably be a chaotic mess of software patches when they try to implement it. There will be far worse problems to deal with during the Stupid Ages, but throw this one on the pile I guess.

I’ve only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don’t want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I’d be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.

I have no idea, but I really hope some genius on Lemmy creates a simulation of this fight so we can all have a great time watching it.

why are leopards eating my face I’m so confused

And here I thought my late 2024 anxiety level was maxed out already.

The Emperor’s Throne Room.

There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

Tight.

Love everything about it except for the Spez watermark

Might be that whatever subconscious processing that happened overnight is bubbling up. The mind, consciousness, and memory are all still mysterious. The more neuroscience learns about the brain, the weirder it seems to function.

Come on Lemmy, look at the name of the Community and stop downvoting honest questions, FFS. I don’t know about or care about TSwift and her billions, but there’s nothing wrong with the question that the OP posted.

It’s a good question, I’m very curious to know if he did this for political reasons, personal reasons, or both.

FYI, his family is wealthy. They own a country club in Maryland. Not that I’m opposed to crowd-funding his defense. I think it would send another message that the greedy health insurance companies need to hear loud and clear.

Blocking doesn’t mean they “got to you”. It means you value your own time and energy and don’t want to see the same idiot’s vomit-thoughts over and over.

Guessing a book. Or maybe an arrowhead. Hopefully a collector or historian will weigh in. It’s a fun question.

My favorite is Middle Earth, but my 2nd choice would be the Dresden Files. Everything from Chicago to the Feywild to Vampire parties to the realms of the dead.
