Anarchy is not against rules, it’s against rulers.

If someone blows all four of your tires in one car, you can use the spare plus the spare from each of the other three.

XML is good for markup. The problem is that people too often confuse “markup” and “serialization”.

Well… that’s not the worst thing that happened to a class yesterday…

Thanks. Fixed.

You have been warned but you needed proof.
You hanged some lighting on the roof.
The spirit of the holiday overthrew you.
You climbed atop the kitchen chair.
You plugged the cord. It zapped your hair.
And from your lips you stuttered Hallelujah.

He does though. He has committed ostrochities you cannot imagine!

That’s your solution for everything!

So… it wasn’t about music?

It’s called “machine learning”. Let’s put AI in schools so that children will be free to work the mines.

I fear this is the wrong take on this issue. The rule communities should follow should not be “make sure to get the facts right so that you don’t excommunicate those who get the facts right”. It should be “don’t excommunicate people who get the facts wrong, because you never know if you got them right yourself and if you punish dissidents too hard you’ll never be able to shift toward the correct world view”.

The problem is corporate culture. LinkedIn is merely reflecting it. Any other platform for job seekers would have the same issues.

She didn’t actually submit it though, so it shouldn’t have needed to process it and use up that electricity.

They couldn’t collaborate when they wanted to do it together, so instead they are taking turns?

So you end up with the same number of days off but a bit of flexibility on how to use them.

That’s the problem - sick days should not have a “flexibility” aspect to them. You take them when you are sick, so that you can heal and so that you can avoid infecting other people.

Since you don’t have a choice about being sick, ideally there shouldn’t be a choice about whether or not you take a sick day - but realistically this can’t be tightly enforced (at least not with reasonable measures), that it ends up relying on good will, and that there will always be incentives to fake sickness in order to take sick days and incentives to ignore sickness and still go to work (and these incentives don’t balance each other out - they incentivize different people differently, widening the gap of unfairness)

But still - even if you accept that real life have such deficiencies - this does not mean one should create policies that make them even more deficient!

There are pros and cons to each. Sick days are usually not paid out if your employment ends. But if you just have PTO, that would be paid out.

I get why you consider “getting more money” a pro, but in my book any financial incentive to avoid taking a sick day when you are actually sick and instead try to power through and infect everyone in the office should be considered as con.

As long as they don’t offer to teach poster design…

He originally appeared as a minor villain in Captainman #743, so you’d have to read that first. And the previous issues, for context.
