  • Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobs

  • As a member of the insulative layer of management between the floor and the corporate asshats I have to speak the language.

    This translates to "Get the most no nonsense worker from every department up here, lets compare what they think we can do in a perfect world vs reality and have a look at what we can do to make the numbers look like what our bosses bosses boss wants to see, without cutting anyones hours or working any harder."

  • Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'

  • They can hate the Ayatollah AND the US at the same time.

    You know what people also historically hate? People coming and making changes for them for their own good.

  • I can almost write a dissertation on this shit but the advice I give anyone who is stressing about the scales is a bit counter-intuitive.

    Weigh yourself 4 or 5 times a day and write it down but dont give a fuck about the number for at least a month. If your diet and exercise are on point you just need to trust the process.

    Some people fluctuate wildly based on body water, women especially around their menstral cycle. If you wait a whole week between weigh-ins and you had a salty carb heavy meal the night before your weigh in you can have lost 2lbs but be holding 3lbs of water thats going to disappear by the end of the day.

    Essentially you need to get a feel for how much your weight swings on average throughout a day so when you have been doing everything right but the scales dont refect that you have a set of data you can examine to make sure you are overall trending the way you hope.

  • Wrong terminology, It's denser.

    If you take 2 people who are otherwise identical one with 10% bodyfat and one with 30% with the difference made up by muscle the 30% bodyfat guy will look way heavier even if they read the same on the scales.

  • I treat this one with a grain of salt, because its very good at some things and utterly fucking useless at others.

    I needed to know what company made the gearbox in a certain car. No matter what I searched in 3 different search engines all I could find was people wanting to sell me stuff for the gearbox or gearboxes. I spent an hour before I asked ChatGPT and it immediately spat out "The gearbox is a 4l80 produced by Aisin transmissions" which I then spent some time verifying. At the core if search engines hadnt been enshitified, ChatGPT would be nothing more than a novelty. But because they have, its a sometimes useful tool that anyone with half a brain verifies.

    If you treat it like gospel, yeah... your an idiot.

  • Cops who went to snowball fight launch manhunt for people who threw snowballs at them

    Jump

  • See I had the same thought, its entirely possible that some people packed some extra hard snowballs and really put some heat on them just because they were cops.

    There is a line, its possible that line was crossed.

  • I think you have what I mean twisted. What life is like for people stuck in the poverty or trailer park cycle is not a universal experience and for all the people that do get it or do empathise and have an understanding that "this is a window into a world I'm not from presented in a humorous way" theres someone sitting there laughing thinking that the whole thing is a wild exaggeration, laughing at the idea that people are really like that or using it to confirm their own biases "the parts that confirm my biases are facts and the parts that dont are just entertainment"

    Me hating the show isnt a commentary on its quality, the creators and cast should be very proud of it. I just cant stand to sit and watch it because some of it is too real to be funny as someone who also came up really fucking poor.

  • Thats the same reason I hate Trailer Park Boys.

    So much of it is laughing at the poors. I know people who are so sheltered and middleclass they think "LoL can you imagine if people lived like this"

    Bruh, you ever known people born into generatiknal poverty?

  • I will always defend BBT as 6 seasons of a great show dragged out and dumbed down for prime time. I think if someone went through it and discarded the filler jokes, arcs that go nowhere and excessive laugh track it could have been really good.

    My wife likes the show as background noise and I've studied it. Theres some real relationship writing and some genuinely good character growth, some of the non "Ha! Nerds!" Jokes are actually pretty funny.

  • I know this is a joke but as someone who works in logistics pack it like its going to be handled by a minimum wage worker whose time and volume metrics are closely tracked. Because it is.

    Want to punch it up a little add some egg and some cheese to the potato and fry dollops of it in the pan with the spam fat.

    Not one person has been arrested yet after the Epstein files were released ? Are 9-5s working 30+ years to keep their overlords rich?

    Jump

  • Exactly this.

    Epstein courted a lot of people, he was a billionaire. He did business with people, I'm even sure most of it was legitimate (If you exclude the likely price fixing, insider trading and generally scumbag billionaire behavior) I'm fine with lining the people who knowingly fucked kids up against a wall, but before we give the order to fire I want to see some proof of guilt. I just dont support convicting people on vibes.
