So, you’re saying we need to build a much, much bigger bomb.

There was a documentary.

Showing up naked is always a good way to get a party started.

Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit (www.theregister.com)

HR software biz BambooHR surveyed more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom work in HR. The findings suggest the return to office movement has been a poorly-executed failure, but one particular figure stands out - a quarter of executives and a fifth of HR professionals hoped RTO mandates would result in staff leaving....

Get a different job.

For years I thought I just hated working. After I was injured at work and had some off time, I picked up a book called “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. It helped me assess my strengths and pointed me to a job I actually enjoyed doing.

Dagwood222 ,

Get the book. When I got it I’d never considered the career I got. There are jobs out there you never heard of.

Dagwood222 ,

It doesn’t matter.

The point is that there are thousands of jobs out there that I never even considered.

Also, when I took the test I found that the job I was least suited for [clerk] was the one I’d always looked for because it seemed easy.

We don’t know ourselves.

Dagwood222 ,

Good luck.

If he doesn’t want it, someone else there will.

Back in the 1940s, there was a Captain Marvel story where a scientist tells the Big Red Cheese that the entire universe is actually a dream and the sleeper is getting ready to wake up…

The Trump campaign paid a contractor who then hired a subcontractor, Extra Mile Casting, to provide services at the 16 June 2015 rally where Donald Trump announced he would run for U.S. president.

He’s been using actors since Day One.

Dagwood222 ,

You will see plenty of MAGoos flying both the Trump flag and the black POW MIA flag.

Trump once said that he ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured.’ He also called the doughboys of WW1 losers.

But Obama was the traitor because of the latte salute.

Edit = A lot of people think this movie was based on an Isaac Asimov novel. The truth is that Asimov did a novelization of a script written by Harry Kleiner, based on a story by Otto Klement and Jerome Bixby.

The novel let Asimov flex his muscles and come up with all kinds of ways the miniaturization process could have worked.

Dagwood222 ,

Yeah, I’ve seen some long term experiments out there. Decades of assiduous research, probing the depths of the problem. Vigorously and with attention to the smallest details. And copious notes.

Dagwood222 ,

if the gooberment wanted to whack him. it’d be from the Secret Service, not the FBI.)

Melania Trump has entered the chat…

Dagwood222 ,

It’s amazing that I know so much about Trump’s eating habits. Pizza with a knife and fork; two scoops of ice cream while the guests only get one; well done steaks.

He’s the dumpster fire that you can’t look away from.

He had a long history of going on David Letterman’s show. David routinely humiliated Donnie, but Donnie kept going back on because he’s addicted to displaying himself. I guess if you’ve spent over 50 years training yourself to be a public spectacle you get good at it.

This is the problem when we ‘win’ lawsuits like this.

The money doesn’t come out of the pockets of the police or the politicians who are doing wrong; the taxpayers foot the bill.

I’m saying not to sue, I’m saying we need to change the way people are held responsible.

To paraphrase Churchill, it’s the worst possible system, except for all the others,

Dagwood222 ,

Didn’t he arrest his opponents?

MAGoo logic.

Life was better under Jim Crow and Martin Luther King was a national hero for standing up to the Jim Crow laws.

Dagwood222 ,

Remember that Star Trek where they go to the evil mirror universe and the baddies come to the Enterprise? The bad versions get caught because it’s hard for someone with no empathy to fake it.

Dagwood222 ,

This sucks for the general public. You’re always either going to be dealing with a] a disgruntled employee who knows he deserves a raise or b] an under trained new guy. You never get the one who knows the job really well.

Dagwood222 ,

Just remember. Minimum wage in 1960 was $1.00/hour and the price of a US home was about $11,000.00.

A high school graduate on their first job could live with their parents and move into their own home in about 7 years.

Dagwood222 ,

Think of it this way.

For decades, ‘middle class’ was defined as one income that could pay for a family of four. Up until the Nixon inflation of the 1970s anyone with a halfway decent job was ‘middle class.’ Back then $1 million was a giant fortune

Then Reagan came in with his tax cuts for the rich. By 1992, middle class was defined as two incomes and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote that all you have to do is mimic the look on their faces. Soon you’ll find your mood changing.

It’s been a while since I read the story, but as I recall mutual understanding wasn’t the main problem.

I worked in Manhattan and had coworkers who lived in Pennsylvania. Two hours each way. A story I heard was that a bus company recruited drivers who would get up at 4am, pick up passengers, drive to the city, and then go to another job. 6 pm they get in the bush and drive home.

Dagwood222 ,

Before Hudson Yards went up that space was mostly empty. I’ve also seen lines of buses parked under the FDR downtown.

Dagwood222 ,

That works for pretty much anything.

Get up and do anything else for a while. School teaches us to sit at our desks and work on the problem. Stop acting like a sixth grader.

Dagwood222 ,

You were just staring at the kids. You were supposed to be changing diapers and feeding them. Insert obvious misunderstanding here.

So, it would be a swampy bog and a marshy fen, but not a boggy swamp or a fenny marsh?

There are actual sex therapists who specialize in this kind of thing.

There’s a montage scene in ‘Real Genius’ where a student is going through freshman year at a college. The first time he goes into a particular classroom there are ten students one one tape recorder. Each time he arrives there are more recorders, until finally there’s nothing but recorders and the professor has left a tape machine of his own to play the lecture.

Yes, Val Kilmer was in another movie besides Tombstone!

Dagwood222 ,

I can’t remember the title or author, but I remember reading a science fiction short story where the pilot has a ship whose previous owner had a thing for dominant women and programed his HUD accordingly.

Dagwood222 ,

There are things like that in any profession. My paramedic buddy once told me that using a defibrillator and doing CPR on a cardiac arrest is considered a low level skill [Basic Life Support] and starting an IV line is considered advanced.

Dagwood222 ,

Look up Sally Hemmings.

Sally was Thomas Jefferson’s slave/concubine/rape victim. She was also likely Jefferson’s legal wife’s half sister; Sally was property Mrs. Jefferson brought with her when she married Tom. There was a scandal when one of Sally’s descendants, who was probably 1/32nd African, escaped bondage and ‘passed’ for White.

So much for inherent empathy.

Dagwood222 ,

Because of the implication?

Dagwood222 ,

A lot of behaviors that would be advantageous in a pre-technical setting are troublesome today.

A guy who likes to get blackout drunk and fight is a nice thing to have when your whole army is about ten guys. The one who will sit and stare at nothing all day is a wonderful lookout. People who obsess about little things would know all the plants that are safe to eat.

Dagwood222 ,

The great thing is, that if someone knows the joke, you can use it in almost any situation.

“Yeah, I’m getting pizza for lunch.” “Because of the implication?”

Dagwood222 ,

I’m sure they’ll be very happy together.

Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn. Cohn was Joe McCarthy’s right hand man, and boasted of sending Ethel rosenberg to the gas chamber. He was known as one of the most vicious lawyers in New York.

Cohn’s motto was “I bring out the worst in people, and that’s how I destroy them.”

Dagwood222 ,

Be funny if the judge reads that to him at sentencing.

Dagwood222 ,

Stop playing the ‘both sides are the same song.’

The ACA was based on Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts plan because Obama wanted to make it easy for the GOP to swallow it.

If the US is in trouble it’s because one side has been trying desperately to screw the other and doesn’t case if the public suffers too.

Literally my first comment.

You don’t like Joe and the DNC? Wait until after the election to say anything negative.

Dagwood222 ,

Good luck!

You know that nuclear power plant up the road? They just had a big accident, we don’t know exactly what’s going on, and at least one person is already dead from radiation. But it’s fine, and you shouldn’t worry or leave the area.
