God this is too real. One place I worked loved to pick odd company wide metrics too. Instead of just like “profit”, 50% of our bonus would be determined by how low a % held stock was against revenue, globally… I worked in marketing. Needless to say the “bonus” did not motivate anyone.

That’s a coherent argument… so no.

Maybe the Orca’s should have pulled themselves up by their finstraps. (/s)

I’m approaching 40 this year. Around 20, I missed an important uni deadline, and meant the degree I had planned would cost me an extra year I couldn’t afford (like literally couldn’t afford the tuition). Managed to finish, but with a degree no one would recommend. Was absolutely panicked.

Ultimately, ended up very successful in a job in a country on the other side of the world. Met the woman who is now my wife of 13 years, had some amazing adventures, moved to a few more different countries, changed industries again about 10 years ago, and worked my way up to upper management again before leaving that field too.

TL;DR No, stress has brought me nothing but misery, I have no regrets except that I didn’t enjoy the ride as much as I could have.

Learn new stuff as you work, or as hobbies (my entire second career started as a hobby). Don’t be afraid to “fake it till you make it” and keep an eye out for jobs you didn’t even consider as a possibility. I personally avoid corporate gigs, smaller independent companies are more likely to notice you and use you for the skills you bring. Life can fly by, enjoy the ride.

They need to calm down.

In her defense (*vomits quietly), it’s really getting hard to keep track of all his legal proceedings.

Fun fact from Wikipedia:
Ileana Garcia won in 2020 against incumbent José Javier Rodriguez by a margin of 34 votes.

Alex Rodriguez “ran” in the same race as a third party candidate, and despite not campaigning, recieved over six thousand votes. Likely because he shared the same last name as the Dem. Former Republican State Senator Frank Artiles has been arrested for bribing Alex to run and Alex will be testifying against him as part of his plea deal.

No wonder she has a soft spot for criminals.

“we’re not convinced it’s legitimate,”

Wow, that’s terrible, maybe someone should introduce some legislation to regulate these monsters…

I never understood the You Have Failed Me trope. If I found myself on the side where failing, or being too successful (being a threat) equals death, I’d switch sides as soon as I can. But I suppose this is just the human nature of fascism, and perhaps baffling to non-fascists.

Psh, my fetish is thrusting into an empty vacuum.

I just watched, he does jump in once or twice, but seems like satellite delay awkwardness mostly.

After laying out the question, “what are the (details of the) allegations of Biden’s supposed insurrection” Sanchez gives him loads of time to look like the fool he is.

The video for those who’d like to watch and are hitting the RS paywall:

It’s pretty hilarious, he clearly didn’t come prepared for the most basic of follow-up questions.

Honestly, that sounds amazing, and illustrates why, “can you explain this gap on your resume” is such a bull shit interview question.

Why does there even need to be a COP every year?

COP is just theatre.

Asked and answered.

I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich (5th district)

Asshole and full on insurrection supporting MAGA.

Agree so much on HBO. We just moved to the US and got the “Max” subscription and we’re finding gem after gem, some of it a decade old. Like TV that rivals any great movie, amazing storytelling/directing/music/concepts. Still plenty of filler to sort through, but some genuine art in there.

Your mileage may vary, but have you tried over the phone instead of video chat (if it’s an option where you live)? I felt exactly the same about video, but something about over the phone felt chill, I could just “chat with a friend” in my pajamas. Helped me a lot and neither my therapist or I ever actually saw each other.

So calling it your ABCs when you’re younger isn’t that far off. Interesting.

Wow, what a wonderful bit of storytelling and great insight into the very weird social and political landscape of Michigan.

I love the photo of the Muma’s, happy they were on the right side of history when it mattered.

And this stands out, “We feel that they have been put here … to ‘brain wash’ our children into accepting a mixed marriage as natural. We will never accept a mixed marriage as being right.”

Sound familiar? Assholes never change, they just shift their target.
