Your first (only?) job is to service the emotional needs of the employer

This is mostly true even after you get hired. Most people are just large children with poorly managed emotions. It doesn’t matter if you’re right. It matters if your boss feels good.

A lot of HR people are incompetent. Recruiters, too. And when you give incompetent people AI tools it’s a big multiplier of their incompetence.

I don’t understand why so many places still have non-technical people reading technical resumes.

In my experience, some non technical people often picked up the idea that “chrome is good” and they’ll manage to install it.

So I guess you’re right - the bottom tier sticks completely with the defaults, but there’s a sizable 2nd tier that picked up the idea that chrome is good, and not much else.

Many people are aggressively non-technical.

Middle of the road? I bet that pun can be upgraded.

But yeah, smarter people who like driving recognize that making other modes of transit makes driving better for those who do so.

Moore’s argument compels these courts to grapple with the very substantial body of law that defines corporations and their powers as creations of the states. The Alitos and Thomases will doubtless find a way, however implausible, to wriggle around that, but even if the usual suspects on the federal bench proceed in customary pro-business lockstep, actions like Hawaii’s will fuel in many ways the growing populist and popular revolt against oligarchy and corporatocracy.

We know that we have these scumbag “justices” and yet they persist

Are you going to allow states to issue currency?

The book “dying of whiteness” has a whole section about this. They interview a lot of people who are survivors of gun suicide and find that for political reasons they don’t want gun control, even as they admit their loved ones are dead because guns made it so easy to die. One of them even privately says she agrees, but would never say so in public.

Thought the last frame was going to be pouring the hot oil on the landlord. I guess this is fine, too.

I’m out of the loop now, but when I was younger there was a weird divide between the youth/young adult stuff, and adult.

The adult stuff was a lot of traditional “sit and listen to a talk”.

The youth was a lot more hand on, interactive. “Let’s start a bonfire, write down our fears, and throw them into it”. “We got people from the community to teach how to make instruments out of junk”.

I really liked it when I was younger, and met a lot of kids who were very cool.

Maybe I should see what’s on offer around here. I don’t want to go to a “service” but I miss the community sometimes.

That’s like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That’s so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn’t be able to justify spending that.

“Please run the formatter so the checks pass on the PR” is a perfectly fine and polite statement. Some people act like they’re being attacked.

I’ve known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it’s also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I’m getting old) and other social justice stuff.

Someone should stop him.

They should also be forced to pay a year’s salary to everyone who applied to a ghost job. (That’s a job that’s not real and they have no intention of filling)

Unemployment lasts a limited time, and this doesn’t address the problems with hiring companies dragging their feet or having ghost jobs.

Police should be held individually accountable

Article’s solution does not appear to be “hit Nigel until he stops moving”

That’s like using a machine to lift weights at the gym for you.

or they think I’m challenging them in some way

Admittedly, there is a bit of

Them: “It works”

Me: “I don’t believe you. Prove it”

that people might not like. But usually the people who take the most offense are the worst coders.
