what's your best "insecure boss" story?
  • My manager missed a pretty useless meeting due to a genuine personal reason, but I did attend. When we met up to update him on what happened, he talked for 15 mins out of 20 about how he'd have taken care of everything if he was there. He even sent out 3 - 4 emails to the organizers apologizing, they didn't care too much.

    If you spend more time apologizing for missing a meeting than the actual meeting took, that screams insecure to me.

    Edit: a week later 25% of managers his level were laid off. He probably knew what was going to happen, wondering if he was on the chopping block

  • El Niño is laying the foundations for unprecedented global temperatures next year
  • At this point it's pretty inevitable. So I kinda empathize with OP to at least try and see the silver lining on this horribly dark cloud. Not saying burying your head under the sand is a good thing, but it might let folk breathe for a second (pun intended)

  • Study reveals some teens receive 5,000 notifications daily, most spend almost two hours on TikTok | Kids officially don't like Facebook
  • I think it might be notifications for group chats they're in. Maybe spread over multiple apps? Anecdotally I remember having the same friend group on multiple apps, with a couple of members missing/added in each. So many times the same topic create double or triple notifications. But 5000 is insane...

  • Antarctic sea-ice at 'mind-blowing' low alarms experts
  • Difficult to predict the future, anything is likely. But my point was if humans do survive, it'll only be the priveleged few. Even in the last days of humanity, those who have the means will survive longer

  • Antarctic sea-ice at 'mind-blowing' low alarms experts
  • You know what's most depressing? Statistically people reading this comment (people who have access to computers/phones + the internet) will have little to mild effects of climate change, compared to the BILLIONS that will perish. Humans will survive all this, but at the cost of unimaginable suffering from the silent/silenced poor.
