No no no. They’re not stress. Nobody is admitting to being stress.

They are, however, much more active on LinkedIn job posting all of a sudden.

Everyone who has reported experiencing stress at work has been fired.

Everyone who has reported having a really easy time of it has been retained.

Incidentally, the amount of work getting done at our company has plummeted.

Nicholas was no saint, let me tell you what. I hear he’s been delivering aid to the enemy.

John Wick was an awesome series of movies.

They’d burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that’s before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.

Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.

Why use 200 small reactors in the ground when you can use one really big one in the sky?

Love my big pot of spicy water.

Practically the definition of the genre. It’s not typically “punk” if it’s a glistening utopia.

Using robots to do conduct black market trade under the nose of the police sounds extremely punk.

Remember to tip your police officer and you’ll be fine.

Trivially traceable. Just follow the dog (discretely).

I know this is whataboitism

For some reason, the word “whataboutism” shuts down the capacity for people to compare two things.

I’m honestly more mad at Biden for the people he didn’t pardon than the one he did. This is one instance in which he should be more like Trump and pardon people his base cares about so they will like him more. Pardon everyone with a crack conviction. Pardon everyone who got strung up on a bullshit gun charge. Clemency for everyone severing time for a petty IRS charge (The taxpayer class with unbelievably high audit rates – five and a half times virtually everyone else – were low-income wage-earners taking the earned income tax credit.)

Then I’d shrug past the Hunter pardon on volume, rather than gagging at the corruption of this nepotistic pardon.

If you banned amphetamines near the launch pad, nothing in aeronautics would ever get done. Ask anyone in Operation Paperclip.

There’s a dang Cheeto in the White House!

You ain’t black!

Except the parts he was convicted of were real.

Sure, if you believe the Romans

In reality, we should be implementing 4 8s as full time since study after study has shown that productivity actually increases when executed properly.

Raising my little red and yellow flag with “Technocracy” spelled out in hammers and sickles.

The business has more than one person working so there’s adequate coverage.

Unless everyone had identical knowledge, there is not. Good luck getting your HR lead to fix a server error or your pipeline engineer to submit your quarterly financials.

I would argue the problem is not having a calculator in my pocket but getting it out of my pocket when I’m juggling a baby.

Or you just stagger your workforce.

Definitely possible but also harder to manage. You need more redundancy in your workforce. You need good documentation of workflow and roles. You need a system for handing off work between staff and people roll on and off a project.

It’s all possible. But it takes effort and some marginal degree of expense that a lot of admins don’t want to put forward. Bosses are naturally cheap and lazy. That’s why union leadership is necessary to improve the workplace.

Hunter did get it rough solely because of who his dad was.

If you lined up all the crack heads in America and ranked them “has it the most rough” to “least rough”, I would challenge you to find 1% who have it worse than Hunter.
