Take one people and take their homes away, take another and call them “the chosen people or Judea” and tell them they can take the homes of the other people.

Now one group has been told by the “world” that this place is theirs because God said so.

The other is literally kicked outta their homes and is told it’s their fault. Also they’re walled in and can’t leave… and then they’re told they’re gonna get fucked unless they leave… but they can’t leave…

New hire, brought on board comes to a Monday meeting.

The company Quality of Worklife Balance survey has been returned, and it’s awful. It’s just after the 2008 crash, and we’re barely treading water, but the company held on. The CIO brought everyone into the largest conference room, meant for hundreds (there’s a couple dozen of us standing around, the chairs weren’t setup) and we stand around her as she procedes to tell us “Why is your QWL so low, you should be talking to your managers about this! I don’t wanna see another QWL survey this bad ever!” In a very yelly tone.

One of the managers raised their hand, and asked, “Folks feel like they’re not being listened to and that they’re not getting enough leeway to make decisions.”

CIO: “Well they need to get over that.”

And that was the first meeting a bunch of developers and IT folks got to see at that company.

Many other shenanigans occurred there, but my personal favorite was the quarter million dollar genset system all setup and tested multiple times – fueled and ready to go, failed in a major power outage because someone left the key in the “test” position on the generator.

– That CIO thought they led people, they did nothing of the sort.

It’s almost like the CEO of the company (John Riccitiello) supporting the most Indie game developers holds 53 million dollars in EA shares or something…

Even, and most likely especially, if Unity does poorly does EA benefit… I bet ya Riccitiella knows all the features of Frostbite, but couldn’t tell you if you can do native reliable UDP networking in Unity…

Y’all is the best pronoun.

It’s second person can be used singular or plural, and the difference is all contextual.

It’s ungendered and it’s makes almost anything feel “more fun.”

OH shit, the boss is flashing ya’ll! Watch out he’s gonna spew fireballs, but we almost got him!

Nah, girls just won’t be sent to schools.

This will be “the last straw” for many of their fathers.

Some will go, and their parents will begrudgingly accept (or turn a blind eye to their daughter dressing down as soon as she’s near school.). The majority reaction will be similar to what you see in other nations that don’t respect women enough to let them keep their autonomy.

For a 200 year old law, it’s pretty straight forward. And for all it’s flaws, the Nth revolution didn’t like the Catholic church for … reasons, so they wanted to make a law to get them out of politics and make them liable for their shenanigans. Thankfully they didn’t discriminate when they wrote the law.

1. PROHIBITIONS AND LIMITS TO INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF “LAÏCITÉ”

 The principle of secularism means that the State and religious organisations are separate. There is therefore no state-run public worship. The State neither recognises, nor subsidises, nor salaries any form of worship. Exceptions and adjustments to the ban on funding are defined in the legislation and case-law; they concern in particular chaplaincies, which are paid for by the State1

 No religion can impose its prescriptions on the Republic. No religious principle can be invoked for disobeying the law.

Because there are sadists in every field.

If GoT had “ended” over privacy at the end of Season 7 it would still have a following. People would still wear their hair like the characters in the show… It would have created a pop culture sensation that lasted at least a generation. Now we have a funny reminder occasionally since so and so named their daughter Khaleesi in the middle of the “Breaker of Chains” season…

I appologize for deleting all my posts. And I don’t at the same time. Maybe try asking here in more general communities? Everything doesn’t have to come from a boutique subreddit.

I mean, if you make decisions that affect the corporations profits directly, give a benefit to one company over another and then increase your holdings in one company or another before the benefits are announced to everyone else… you’re a person who runs the corporation, and never has to be on the board. You make profits from the shift in the stock market, and you can even go long if you think you’ll have even more positive changes to make for that corporations benefit.

If you’re confused ask Nanci and Paul Pelosi, they’ve the epitomal example.
