So... they knew the value of their own time and didn't overwork when they didn't have to?

Most office workers could probably learn from that mindset.

Zorque ,

So you're saying they should have worked less?

Zorque ,

That is 100% not how you framed your initial comment. It was very much focused on how the workers weren't going above and beyond to work when they didn't have to.

Sounds to me like they were reacting to a shit situation in the most appropriate way they could.

Zorque ,

I mean... you didn't say anything else, how else could you have meant it? You even complained that them leaving on time was inconvenient when someone else dumped something in their desk after working hours.

Zorque ,

I mean... the PO shouldn't have come in at 5:01 if they wanted it approved that day. That's just rude.

I work in document control, so I'm sending documents between companies regularly. Often, at the end of the week someone will dump a 100+ document transmittal on us half an hour before the end of the day. And then they go home.

You bet your ass that shit is waiting til Monday.

Zorque ,

Good luck finding new ones in the US.

Zorque ,

Apparently they're up to three years now. Woo.

Zorque ,

... you mean that thing we were talking about?

Zorque ,

They're basically online loyalty accounts like you'd have at retail stores.

Zorque ,

You must not've been on reddit 10+ years ago.

Zorque ,

They had a site redesign to garner more monetization.

Zorque ,

The problem is, if they're afraid they have the resources to do something about it. That much wealth can buy a lot of private armies. It also buys a lot of lobbyists.

It takes more thought and planning then reacting with emotion against them. That feeds their goals just fine.

Zorque ,

Don't worry, should it ever happen, there's plenty of wannabe Napoleons who would be willing to step in to take over once theyre gone :)

Zorque ,

It takes emotion to make rash decisions based on reactionary feelings.

If you only do things because it feels right instead of what you've thought through and understood as a rational course if action... you're doing the same thing as those who storm capital buildings cause an orange man told them to.

Zorque ,

And affordable.

"Don't hate the companies, hate the people who lobbied for copyright laws... the companies!"

Zorque ,

Pretty sure the blood gets vaporized before it can be shed.

Zorque ,

Perhaps that's the level of chocolate? Like you can have 90% dark chocolate, this is 40%.

Should I permanently leave Israel?

I’m not sure if this is the right community for this question, but it says “no stupid question” so here goes. I’m an Israeli who now lives in the US, but I am considering permanently residing in the US or elsewhere (perhaps somewhere in Europe or Canada) because I’ve become kinda disillusioned with Israel for a variety...

Zorque ,

He is more hated, yes, but a lot of the people who hate him will vote for him anyway because they've been led to believe the alternative is the end of civilization as they know it.

Zorque ,

Don't worry, they'll still use your data.

Zorque ,

*idiot savant

Zorque ,

He was genetically engineered because his parents were working class and were worried that their kid would be too dumb for even that. He's not exactly high society.

Zorque ,

Q

Basically implying their relationship is homoerotic in nature.

Zorque ,

He had to add in so many second backups, too!

Zorque ,

That's Dad's stalker

Zorque ,

You mean the episode where Lwaxana visits with menopause and causes all sorts of entanglements?

Zorque ,

You mean aside from Kira giving birth to Miles' son?

Zorque ,

A former newt

Zorque ,

I prefer Stardew Valley

In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?...

Zorque ,

Someone's never had a depressive episode.

Zorque ,

Would a Monowheel be considered a "wheeled vehicle" since it's not a vehicle with wheels, but rather a wheel that is a vehicle?

A vehicled wheel, if you will.

Zorque ,

I'd imagine they pass overhead in a similar way to that total solar eclipses do.

Zorque ,

That's what post-its are for!

Zorque ,

Is everything completely black and white for you?

The system isn't perfect, especially where we prioritize punishing people over rehabilitation. Would you rather punish everyone equally, emphasizing that if people are going to risk the legal implications (which, based on legal systems the world over, people are going to do) they might as well just go for the real thing anyways?

You don't have to accept it as morally acceptable, but you don't have to treat them as completely equivalent either.

There's gradations of questionable activity. Especially when there's no real victims involved. Treating everything exactly the same is, frankly speaking, insane. Its like having one punishment for all illegal behavior. Murder someone? Death penalty. Rob them? Straight to the electric chair. Jaywalking? Better believe you're getting the needle.

Zorque ,

So... its just a claim they're making and you're hoping it has actual backing.

Zorque ,

But you didn't say you had proof with your comment, you said it was probable. Basically saying its common sense that its proven.

Why are you getting aggressive about actually having to provide proof about something when saying its obvious?

Also, that seems to imply that locking up people for AI offenses would then encourage truly reprehensible behavior by linking them with those who already engage in it.

Almost like lumping people together as one big group, instead of having levels of grey area, means people are more likely to just go all in instead of sticking to something more morally defensible.

Zorque ,

Everything is 99% grey area. If someone tells you something is completely black and white you should be suspicious of their motives.

Zorque ,

Poorly organized socialized healthcare, sure.

Zorque ,

As opposed to private Healthcare where they're guaranteed to screw you over.

Zorque ,

The players make the game. It's not a one or the other thing.

Zorque ,

There'd be alternatives if people didn't give up before ever looking for them.

Zorque ,

Its so smart it gets something else to do all the work for it.

Zorque ,

So... in reading the article, it seems he suggest the government is using religion to manipulate people into forgetting about all the aliens they're hiding.

So, not so much with the sanity.

Zorque ,

*opiate

Zorque ,

Some people can do two things.

Zorque ,

Pretty sure I still have a headache from using one in a Blockbuster in the 90s.

Zorque ,

I'm sure they can churn out a bunch more half-finished board game and game show adaptations.

Zorque ,

Every technology has the potential to be abused. This isn't even at the top of the worst offenders.
