Almost every company I’ve ever worked for was full of power craving idiots like you’re describing. Most of the meetings that immisserate my daily work life are between petty tyrants that spend 90% of their time building little fiefdoms and looking for a grand pat on the back for their meager accomplishments.
Bloviate pretty much covers what I do on work phone calls. In my defense (mildly), I welcome whenever someone interrupts me.
I suspect many are just looking for a paycheck. ICE agents are slated to be pretty well paid from what I’ve read. We just handed over a historic amount of money to them as well, and even though I expect a large amount of institutional corruption, a significant percentage of it is going to go to personnel.
They are also saying Pam Bondi is not an idiot though, so I don’t exactly trust their judgement
They are incapable of evaluating the intelligence and competence of their own. When they say someone’s smart or competent, what they actually mean is they are a compliant lap dog that is loyal to them.
This is not what I’d call a “fun read”, but it is a good one, and someone looked into this a bit.
I agree with a lot of the stuff being said here, but it doesn’t really help the case of service members that they pretty overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Yeah I mean I’ll try to strike gold at first by landing a new remote job, and then knowing that likely won’t work I’ll search for basically anything else. If it comes to it, I’ll just subtly violate their policies and have them fire me in the inevitable next round of layoffs.
This fan of yours sounds fucking terrible, bud.
“My ancestors came over on the mayflower!”
“Yeah, and what type of visa did they have?”
Works great if you have extra rooms around your house for each person. Must be freaking nice.
I remember when people preferred her to Bernie or thought she was like Bernie in 2020.
I always thought she was a Putin loving cultist stooge and she keeps proving me correct.
Almost every website idea nowadays people are like but how will it make money?!?
And it’s like dude, keeping a website afloat is cheaper than pet rent.
He sucks but it isn’t just him that allowed this hellscape and quite honestly, publications like the Atlantic have had a part to play in it themselves.
I heard talk about this at my job. Which I’ll be leaving shortly after if it goes through.
The job sucks, the only indignity I’m spared is having to take nonstop international teams calls from an office for no reason. If I’m not even spared that, it’s time to go a looking and a leaving. I don’t give a fuck either about keeping my exact pay scale or role or title.
I think it’s Elon.
Trump also pays outsized mind to social media in general and Twitter in particular.
Of course, the arrow of time remains unchanged.
But what did change is the type of music Coldplay made. They went from Radiohead-lite to whatever you want to call that crap now.
Good
Coldplay was termed Radiohead for your parents. I think that was accurate for their early career but now they’re more like EDM for your parents or U2 for your great grandparents or something.
If I had money, this country would’ve seen my tail lights a decade ago.
Yep that’s part of why the Nazis called it national socialism. Socialism, but only for the Nazi nation (i.e. white, straight, non-jewish people).
