Wonder what it’s like to be at mckinsey and after your company has been advising corps to cut staff and do stock buybacks for 40 years as an infinite money glitch suddenly you’re the bloat.

Kids toys.

The email. The email. The what what? The email.

Got room for any more on your ship?

Related: Marjoe, is a 1970s Oscar winner for best documentary about a child preacher, Baptist preaching, the money involved in the preaching/god industry, and to a degree clearly exposed the raw core of manipulation inherent. It’s a documentary so doesn’t come straight out and say it, so it could be interpreted differently perhaps by a strong religious conservative. It’s a fantastic exposé.

Honestly some of the Michael moore movies; Roger and me might hit different for some of those folks now that they’re suffering the continued effects of wealth concentration that is so flagrantly and unashamedly happening. Sicko will probaby hit many folks across the aisle as the issue is universal. Bowling for Columbine might be interesting depending on if they are a gun nut.

The atomic cafe is in my top 5 movies of any genre. It’s not just about arms proliferation, it pulls together a ton of cultural pieces and shows how naive, propagandized, and horrible a nascent fascist nation began post WWII.

He is still around. He lit, carried and shared the light of kindness, humanity, patience, understanding with many millions of people. The fact you posted this shows what he embodied is still here and, just like Obiwan commented, some are even more powerful after they have passed.

The library of Alexandria, burns again.

Covers? Luxury.

When we was growing up it was a few moldy newspapers stuffed into a garbage bag.

Context

X factor.

Also, who wants to alpha or beta test products? I’ll take the finished iterations, thank you.

Taking a bullet is much easier than many challenges parents have to face, take on, bear or navigate for their children. A bullet, presumably, would be fast to suffer and/or die from.

Bet me count the ways.

I would enter “memories of murder”. It goes toe to toe with Rear Window as one of the best suspense movies ever made, and MOM would go on my top 50 in any language any genre.

Go broke or go home

I think “natural” was determined in court to hold jo required quality, or be free from artificial, man-made or modified elements. So wholly opposite the standard meaning of the word.

They always come for language first.

“Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.”

All we need is a Superman 3-style plot to collect all the extra inches of fabric at the midsection and we’ll be rich, rich I tell you!

The weight has changed much more in sizing than height is likely to since it’s easy to gain/lose weight compared to gaining or losing height; it’s why I mentioned my percentiles. The links seemed like decently recent data so you wouldn’t expect someone in my percentiles to be so strangely missized unless sizing was just flat wrong or targeted to certain body shapes in the last 10-ish years.

My basic experience and data seems to point to height determining size much less than weight now does, which for those of us not rapidly changing weights puts us in a strange spot. There are also many more different global clothes manufacturers than there used to be I’d guess and maybe the newer ones still have no idea how to size for new geographies/cultures? Just guessing.

Your co-workers are triangulating. It may be for a combination of various reasons:

1. They have tried and failed in the past
2. They are scared of rejection, retribution, etc. consciously or unconsciously and it’s easy to volunteer someone else
3. You are really charismatic and/or great at your job and they think you have new ideas that will work

Triangulation is used to avoid conflict. Many people come to others in life, looking to have that person take on yhrir problems through triangulation. It’s generally not effective: it disempowers the requestor/initiator by giving responsibility for resolution of the issue to someone else, who may not before likely to solve it, and can but actually make things much worse.

Encourage them to see how they can play a role in solving the problem. Do it together if you want to help but don’t be their “superman”.

Yeah this is years old; WA and more recently CA and others have pay disclosure as well. Those same shite employers likely can’t afford not to hire from entire swaths of the country so will retreat back to their idiotic shells and post/hire for any state as “remote”.

Where is our hero robot?
