That works if you live and work in an environment where you control who is in your space. That’s not really an option for most people.

Bridge collapse

If you murder a murderer, you don’t reduce the total number of murderers. You have to murder more than one, but then you’re a serial killer, which is arguably worse. If you’re a serial killer who only kills serial killers, then you are starting to maximize the offset. But once you fuck up and get close to being caught, so your serial killer girlfriend blows up Doakes to keep your secret safe and you pin all your murders on him, you’ve gone too far.

He’s featured in an episode of What If…? and he makes a cameo in the GotG3. It could make for a great holiday special.

Musk is getting $8 million each day from the US government to destroy the US government. He was given $44 billion to destroy Twitter. He’s not worried about money.

Are you using superglue to close cuts on your fingertips? Or are you trying to create a thick pad of glue to act as a protective layer? Do you already have a blister or cut? Or are you trying to prevent one?

To close a cut or cover a blister, superglue works in a pinch.

As padding to avoid blisters or cuts, it doesn’t really work. If you’re playing enough to cause a new blister, it just cracks and flakes off anyway. It might get you through a song if you’re desperate. Long term, you’re better off getting your fingers calliused and learning to play with different fingerings to take the pressure off an injury.

Pros have to go on stage and play. If you’re playing for yourself, for fun, you can take a few days off and let your fingertips heal.

I used to work in home automation, and we didn’t do any voice activated shit (or cloud based at all if we could avoid it). When customers would ask for it, I would point out that the most commonly spoken word to a voice recognition device is “Cancel.” Even when it works, it’s just a switch you flip with a special phrase. People want Jarvis, but they end up with a glorified Clapper.

Except you know that sexual exploitation has a different effect on women than men. Trump revels in his playboy reputation. Harris was accused of using sex to get ahead in politics. And you know that conservatives would believe that the video was real while they jerk off to it. Those dipshits still think Michelle Obama was a man.

Trump rapes women. He’s not entitled to the same level of respect as almost anyone. He is entitled to the same laws, on that we agree.

First, you can always decline. It’s your time, and they aren’t paying you to work at a bowling alley, so you don’t have to be there.

Second, remote team meetups are a really good time to bond with your coworkers without a business agenda. I would recommend to anyone to try to make an appearance, even if you don’t stay out as late as everyone else. Plus, if everyone is hung over the next day at work, and you show up bright eyed and bushy tailed, you look like the smart one, although your coworkers might give you the side eye if you rub it in. Being compassionate goes a long way towards that bonding bit.

It’s also easier to communicate when you have personal relationships with your remote coworkers. When you write a curt slack message, or a status update email, people will read it in your voice. That might also work against you if you tend to be sarcastic or belligerent. If they don’t know you, they will read it in their own voice, and that can go sideways.

You don’t have to bowl. You don’t need to claim an old injury. Just say you don’t enjoy it (because that’s true).

All that said, it doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong. It doesn’t sound like your coworkers did anything wrong, either, and you were definitely “invited” anytime there is an announcement like that.

That’s a pretty big loophole. I mean, imagine the same exact video with Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi. It takes a significantly different subtext when the subjects are women. But the subtext doesn’t really matter to the morality of the act.

Either involuntary AI generated pornography is wrong or it isn’t. I think it’s wrong. Do Trump and Musk deserve it? Sure, but it’s still wrong. Do I feel bad for them? No, because they deserve it. But it’s still not something I would do, or suggest anyone else do, and if the creator is prosecuted, I’m not going to defend them.

Wow, I stand corrected. TIL thanks.

EDIT today I learned that the reports of witnesses and their inaction was grossly exaggerated by an unscrupulous journalist. So the following statement is almost entirely fabricated. My apologies. Comment left intact for transparency.

38 people in her neighborhood admitted to hearing her and choosing not to intervene. They all gave different reasons for not helping.

There was the horrifying story of Kitty Genovese in New York in 1968. Edit 1964

American wokers will never back a general strike. We are far too fractured and too far removed from the actual problems we face that nobody thinks they are part of the problem.

Tldr: she had to track down a Microsoft executive at a social event during TrustCon.

They’re both built on the reputation of their leaders. Good coaches recruit good players, making them look like better coaches. Good preachers gather more followers which makes their bullshit more believable.

The great irony is that in both environments, the ego of the leader is almost certainly over-inflated, and the institution would be just hunky dory without them. Penn State found a new coaching staff. The Catholic Church will elect a new Pope.

The people doing the cover-up will justify the lies by telling themselves they are doing it for the greater good, but really they just want to protect themselves.

I think his television appearances always make me wonder if there’s spit in my food.

I also think his attempt to fix school lunches was well intentioned but tragically naive, and ended up doing more harm than good by making reform attempts look pathetic.

Does Google not know what a “pledge” is?

Da, all in good fun.

Yeah this is some not-so-subtle propaganda from our komrades.
