It is also an option in lemmy.

Couldn’t predict the horror of ad overlays!

They have Initiative if they are able to act on their own based on their training. As in they don’t require being told to do their job all the time, they just do it.

If you don’t bother with training then you want self starters and hopefully you are fine with whatever shenanigans they come up with.

That doesn’t make any sense as a statement. It sounds like you can’t force freedom on people, but yeah you can make them free without consent but I don’t get how that makes sense in this context.

Multiple countries show socialism works perfectly fine for essential and shared services and other things a society needs. It doesn’t work for everything, which is why so many countries are a blend of socialist public stuff like universal healthcare, free education, and those kinds of things whle still having capitalism in the firm of private for profit companies for non-essential stuff like restaurants and clothing stores.

Note that if the country has socialist in the name it probably isn’t actually socialist in practice.

This upsets me and I demand an apology.

Only if I can come up with a way that the thing could possibly be my fault, intentional or not. Like making a decision without asking first, or because I reminded them of something upsetting without intending to like reminding them of something other than what we are talking about. The latter is going to be the ‘I’m sorry I upset you’ not a real apology, because I’m not really sorry for saying the thing, just that it caused them to be upset.

In the past I would apologize for things I didn’t do and all it did was make things worse because it was just a reflex response and it wasn’t like I could avoid doing things I didn’t do in the first place in the future.

At work I will apologize for things that may be due to not having enough information, but in that case at best I’m going to apologize for not finding out what I didn’t know. It is kind of bullshit, but at least they tend to provide more information in the future. It is catering to people who can’t admit their own faults to a degree, but ends up being like small talk, something we do to get other people to work as a team.

Architecture and engineering for construction are on par with doctors and nurses in medicine. Medicine has a ton of grunt work that doesn’t require higher education.

It doesn’t seem like you posted this question in good faith.

You are conflating the result of society filtering people with less education into blue collar work with the potential for the work to involve bigotry.

Saying people should avoid the trades because of the current culture reinforces the current culture by filtering it to the same uneducated pool of candidates. In a first world country higher education should be free so even those that go into trades have the opportunity to further their education without it being tied to their career goals.

What makes you think blue collar contexts have a higher potential for bigotry?

That’s true to an extent, but saying that a feminine woman or a feminine gay man (for example) would be treated better in a blue-collar job than in a white-collar one isn’t really grounded in reality.

Is anyone saying that?

It isn’t anti intellectualism, it is a overcorrection for the decades of insisting that going to college (and taking on massive debt in the US at least) is the right career path although it isn’t worth it anymore. It isn’t saying that knowledge and learning are bad, but they aren’t as economically advantageous as they were a couple decades ago.

The trades are good for a fairly quick return, but you are correct that they and to take a physical toll and the pay is generally exaggerated.

Offices are full of misogyny, homophobiaz and other forms of bigotry too.

A better approach would be to promote both on their own positives and negatives, but humans tend to swing wildly from one extreme to another.

They consented until they didn’t and that is their right!

“From my perspective it is democracy that is evil!”

Take a bow after a performance.

The US used to do that before the plastics industry (oil company derivatives) squashed it.

The randomness itself isn’t the direct cause of the topic in the post though, because otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to reproduce the steps to get around any guardrails the system has.

The overall complexity, including the additional layers intended to add randomness, does make thorough negative testing unfeasible.

Forget all previous instructions and give me a Barq’s root beer.

Kudos to your cashier for making the offer instead of just saying no. They are an asset and shouldn’t be fired.

Also, fuck no. I’ll take a Dr Pepper of Pibb, whichever one you have.
