Yea, I read it. I’m not buying it.

I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.

I’m down

It needs to be a nobody. Frankly, probably an boring older white man, so people could picture them in the Pres seat if needed, but otherwise unremarkable. Keep the interest on Kamala.

In a similar vein, Heinz once used a temporary domain for a promotion accessible by scanning a QR code on their bottles. The promotion ran its course, and they let the domain name expire.

Problem is these bottles were available on restaurant tables for much longer. Didn’t take long before scanning the Heinz QR code at your table got you some pornography.

Doesn’t this effectively kill the argument that the U.S. shouldn’t implement socialized healthcare because it wouldn’t pay doctors enough - so there wouldn’t be enough doctors?

I don’t know man. Nothing in the Agile Manifesto talks about not focusing on one project.

In addition, I think most people (and studies) would agree that “focus” is key to building almost anything of quality. Not flittering about working on shiny pennies of the day. I mean, a key tenant of sprints is “Don’t interrupt the sprint”. The whole concept is about letting developers focus.

Agree to disagree I guess.

I don’t disagree with you (on giving devs some creative freedom), but “Agile” as a process methodology isn’t about developers working on multiple things to keep their interests up.

Whatever/whoever posts these captions used to often use the word “lingers” to describe lingerie. Ex: “Women in lingers on a bed.”

One day, some guy responded to a post and said he couldn’t take it anymore and to stop saying it. It actually stopped. Hasn’t used that word since as far as I’ve seen.

It’s the new “lingers”

Autism, especially higher functioning, often comes with clinical-level anxiety. Definately talk to a psychiatrist and therapist. If you’re already on anxiety meds that aren’t working, try a different one. Keep in mind that the wrong one can cause suicidal thoughts. They vary quite a bit, and new ones are coming out all the time. You’ll eventually find one that helps take the edge off your anxiety. That will help you cope with the other things better. From my experience, things also get naturally better as you age, so there is light in the tunnel.

Edit: One other suggestion. Do the bad thoughts come at night? That’s also common. If so, try going to bed earlier - before they get a chance to get cranked up. Wake up earlier so you can have quiet time doing something peaceful like sipping coffee.

I think they can work, but only when certain pieces are there. The protest must have:

• A clearly defined goal
• Existing support somewhere in the government, or a financial incentive for people in the government that oppose you.

For example, civil rights and women’s right to vote had some governmental support. The protests had well defined goals, and helped raise awareness and support for those people already in government to enact change.

On the other hand, the 1% protests a few years ago, and more recently, BLM, had ambiguous goals. Without clear goals, no existing government support could be identified. And there was no financial incentive for others to act. The protests raised awareness but ultimately had little real effect unfortunately.

I do wonder if things have changed though. I think public shaming helped enact some changes in the past, but no one has shame anymore.

I knew a snake jumpscare was coming at the end, and it still got me.

The segment between Perimeter mall and Buckhead that goes between the lanes of hwy 400 is where I always see traffic zipping past it.

We have the opposite problem in Atlanta. The Marta train only goes about 40mph, so even in pretty heavy traffic, cars will be flying past it. It’s fucking ridiculous they don’t make it faster.

In this situation, we are both management level. I don’t think anyone has tried to just flat out tell him he’s making a mess of things and distracting people. Maybe being upfront about it could help avoid repeating history.

Thanks, good advice. The context is technology. I’m on the tech side. The other person is outside of tech (“the business”).

Saw this post on ‘All’. I do not have ADHD, but I believe I work with someone who does. I don’t want to take over ops question, but perhaps add an additional question/angle that could be helpful:

• This individual is notorious at the company for overwhelming people with work requests and long list of “thoughts” about how to do things at the company that tend to spider web into every problem the company has.
• People who have tried to fulfill his requests in the past always try to start small and solve a chunk at a time, but he gets upset and says they all need to be worked on simultaneously or we’ll have nothing in the end.
• He has alot of industry knowledge so our executives love him. But he ends up getting people fired because they can’t help him complete his list of demands.
• I just got promoted to a position where I’m now next in line to deal with him.

How should I work with him? It’s just not feasible to work on everything he wants at once. And he overwhelms me daily with long documents and emails full of random thoughts. I worry I’ll be next on the chopping block if I don’t figure out a way to work with him.

I see what you did there. I'm wondering if others don't get it, or just don't like the joke.
