Power.
Power.
Isn’t beards required because a smooth faced man might cause impure thoughts?
I love self checkouts at most places except supermarkets. It’s a shit show.
At my supermarket, it was 1 regular register and 8 self checkouts with attendants helping customers.
Theft was so outrageous, they had to have four attendants and two security guards at the self checkout because machines kept breaking, things weren’t being scanned, and people were stealing.
Then I hope you like the crunching sounds on your children’s grave because you’re weak, your bloodline is weak, and you’ll never survive the winter.
(J/k I just love this joke)
I walked in on a session (might be D&D) at a bar where they spent about two hours talking about their characters backgrounds. Not a dice or figurine in sight. I think they did one skill check. But most of it was just party members talking to each other and the DM.
Yeah not for me.
Accountants. Programmers in fintech. People who work in the factory printing money. Bank tellers.
I love it.
All the other comments had guns sex and drugs.
Your story had mySQL.
Mad lad.
For some reason I envisioned FBI dudes in body armor bursting in and pointing their rifles at a poor server rack in the closet.
Google has a culture that rewards brand new ideas. Everyone at Google wants to be on the cutting edge of something new, and if your job was to maintain something, that was a demotion/missed opportunity.
Things die at Google so frequently because why should an engineer shoot themselves in the foot by provide support?
Didn’t he admit to having some sort of brain damage or mental issue?
Not saying that is a problem in general, but more that he’s completely unhinged.
That reminds me, I got a very threatening email from my college in 2000s about downloading movies and that they traced the IP to my laptop, and I could be paying $10k in fines, have this on my permanent record and/or expelled.
I loled and pirated a lot more safer.
Still waiting for them to follow up with that 20 years later.
I won’t stop until we allow slutty costumes for all body types.
I was disappointed that I spent time crafting my sausage but at no point in the game was I allowed to waggle it around to show dominance.
I rip into people who say “common sense”. It’s often used by people who aren’t good communicators.
“to be frank” or “to be blunt”
Oh so you’re such a dishonest person you’ll change your name to Frank or Blunt midway? Unbelievable.
Yep. I’ve worked with people who call everyone on their team idiots/lazy, oblivious that they are in fact, the toxic asshole.
I see it like a special move.
Like I’m interjecting/interrupting.
So like “Quick question attack! Where did you get that pie?”
Yep!
Tech is absolutely a space where people who break the rules get rewarded. Every tech company I’ve worked at has had a situation where they turned the other cheek on laws. And if they broke it, the fine was just the cost of doing business.
A example at my old job (with fake numbers), they broke laws in some EU countries. It took them like a decade to finally catch up with them. And the fine was like $8 million dollars. But during that law breaking, they made $100mil in sales, while also destroying the competition and solidifying they position in the marketplace, guaranteeing more profits for another decade.
If they followed the law, they wouldn’t be this major player in the industry.
And the job I worked at is one of thousands of companies that think like that.
This one blew me away.
According to NBC News, Hanes missed at least one opportunity to realize that he was being scammed. After he asked for a $12 million loan from a neighbor, Brian Mitchell, his neighbor detected the scam and refused to lend the money.
My limit is like $40.
Ew. They should expand their skill set to using terminal/powershell.
I’m not knocking on GUIs but I will call out “IT professionals” who ONLY know how to use GUIs.
