They could. It's happening in the states, where people once labeled as rapists by the Commander in Cheese now support his re-election, simply because no one is reminding them that Biden quietly did a bunch a things, and they've been hoodwinked to voting "anyone but crooked old Biden".

We are no better.

I'm not surprised hospitals are still loaded. Covid's preventable "temporary" (2yr?3?) hit to hospitals incited people to retire in a permanent fashion. Now any issues with loading and staffing are complicated by recruitment from a really small pool. And family doctors? No one wants to be a family doctor.

While the plural of 'anecdote' isn't 'data', I can confirm that wait times for injuries are stilll somewhat short. It's proper triage in action. Procedures are scheduled fast and the cancellation call list is still your friend. If you're coughing and it sounds like one of the big-three illnesses that are going to be a check-and-release kinda deal, you're going to be there for-ev-er. I'd like to see a second queue to cherry-pick the fevers and colds and get their assessment out of the way, but working that will be a challenge.

It's gonna be a rough winter, and I'm gonna have my face-diaper when I'm in groups or on transit. I don't need that hassle.

But if you miss your doctor, thank your closest anti-vax horse-paste hillbilly; and Fox news for weaponizing them into belligerent know-it-all obstructionists. I haven't heard a retirement story that doesn't include a "belligerent advocate" trigger.

Well they can separate, but like any other renter they need to leave it as least as well as they found it. Leave a forwarding address, too, in case we need to send along contents or mail or bills.

Annexation by America in 3....2.....1....

Dude. Cruel cronyism is dumb in all climates.

Is he your politician? Sorry. You need to vote better.

Ah I see

1. Climb ladder
2. Yank ladder up behind you

We're at step 2

And it's not quite a free for all: drivers need their class4 license, right?

You DO have a class4 license, right?

I'm sure when they threw that money at Israel there wasn't the abuses and settlement-creep goin-- nevermind. Don't ever change, conservatives: it'll be hard to explain the gap to our kids.

I think it's 118 in "third world and America" degrees.

I mean, this kinda sounds like it just needs an okay car stereo and a hot dog cart and it's a party.

stock price soared at amzn after layoffs. Same thing happened at my old company.

Stock prices are really not correlative. If the C-suite are chasing that high, you should go while you still can.

Once you decide you want to quit, just do the bare minimum while you job search.

I actually work as keenly as possible. I really strive to leave a wound that'll sting long after I'v--- uh, I mean I really strive to leave a good impression during the (for me) year-long process of finding a good next job. For my peers, they're going to need my work to be super up-to-date because leaving them a shit-fire is a bit of a dick move and I respect my peers a lot.

Never quit your job over shit like this.

Except life's too short as it is. Martyrs are forgotten. Just go, get a better job, don't look back.

9 years and 2 days ago I clocked out of my job on a Friday, caught a plane, clocked in a new job 3000mi away on Monday. I was already working to secure the wages while my wife was showing the house.

Is the implication here that only untalented people would ever put up with working in an office?

Not directly. The Dead Sea Effect says "those who can find an acceptable new job the fastest will leave first". That usually means the super-stars and more-talented, but the residue behind all that evaporation isn't all salt. Some people, even the most employable, will stick around, while their benefit/cost/risk/tolerance kind of equation still allows it.

For some people, RTO doesn't hit their cost and tolerance all that hard. The more unsuitable a person's home environment is for work and how easy their commute is, that'll greatly affect forced RTO acceptance and the Dead Sea Effect.

“FAANG”. Facebook, Amazon, Air-bnb, netflix and google.

AirBnB? Don't you mean Apple?

It's weird how the BuT OtHeR CoUnTrIeS HaVe iT tOo argument is so rapidly debunked even without showing how 'both sides' it is.

different definitions of “mass shooting”

The definition by the FBI is the only one I've seen. What number works for you?

It's mixing mass shooting with mass killing.

The first number deals with people shot, and the second counts incidents where four or more people died from their injuries. I believe the second number isn't just gun violence - so stabbings or vehicular homicide are counted - but I'm not sure because the number of mass attacks are far lower when the victim can avoid injury by moving only three feet to one side.

The number of mass shootings, where 4+ people were injured by guns but less than 4 were killed, has been as many as 9 in one day.

I think the number of strictly school shootings is more than 38 this year. Like, a Columbine somewhere, every pay-cheque.

If someone whom I respected shat a bit in email about my work product, I'd be sad for a bit. Then I'd read it again and understand it's my work product and I am not my work. I can make mistakes and I can fix them, and fixing mistakes is how we get awesome.

I have received negative feedback. And I did feel just a little butthurt about it. But it was in NJ and I was new, and didn't see from the first read that Buddy was expressing frank and honest concerns about my work product and not me. I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to clue in, but I did. And we worked through my mistakes and I was the better for it. And I learned.

And when he said my work didn't suck as much, I knew I was improving, because I could trust him.

You need to learn honest from asshole.

Tough love isn't toxicity, even if Linus had to grovel a bit to divert the Karens elsewhere.
