I feel like most people 100% masked up and did the 6 feet thing. Its only when people started questioning the legitimacy of covid did folks pushback.

I dont think a fucking zombie would be ignored by the populace.

How so? 'Cause they're just looking for money?

Probably because basic features are only part of the subscription versions.

Personally, I think masturbating to a picture of someone you know is always creepy. Whether its your SO or not.

Just because they are your SO doesnt mean they consent to every sexual activity you want.

Like, they're trying to promote feminism by... dunking on trans people and aligning themselves with far right groups?

Am I missing something?

TERFs, generally, believe that cisgender womens experiences are being erased by transgender women. Its why they almost never give a damn about trans men.

Caitlyn Jenner winning woman of the year over cisgender women is an example if biological womens experiences being overtaken.

These are not my stances. Just trying to explain why someone would be a TERF without being disingenuous.

I will say this. I think its unbelievably unfair of TC to claim Guy 2 has bad traits that can be corrected or ignored, but wont give that charity to Guy 1.

Guy 1s problem seems wayyyy more adjustable than Guy 2s, imo.

Like, this is for an assistant position. Not the actual replacement for yourself.

This guy argues a lot! And his peers dont want him promoted! Perfect management material!

But Ill stop since it seems TC genuinely wants opinions.

Lmao, TC himself must be shit at his own position! Of course his responses in the topic are like this.

Dude says Guy 1 doesnt understand the hierarchy of a role hes not in. No shit. Have you tried talking to him about it?

I wouldnt expect a bank teller to know the responsibilities of a branch manager.

If youre looking for an assistant, its your responsibility to instruct them on their tasks and expectations.

TC just wants someone who already knows everything. Guy 1 is a yes-man? How do you know? Can you recall a situation in which he disagreed with something, but went along with it anyway?

Or are you assuming?

And all of this:

Jiek_Fafn posted...

Also, why weren't you grooming possible replacements beforehand? Lots of times you won't find out who's up to the challenge until you actually give them a shot. You should've given them a taste of their responsibilities and gone from there.

TC, you literally have an employee that does his job well.

Why do you think he suddenly would be unable to learn a difference role? Did he not learn his current one?

PlantBased posted...

You asked why some people don't want to talk about it. I told you why. Other people told you why. It doesn't mean anyone has to change anything or that anyone is wrong.

And I concluded that I view that as unfortunate

You implied I was wrong.

PlantBased posted...

It's not unfortunate. It's just different.

So like dunno where I go from here.

PlantBased posted...

It's not unfortunate. It's just different.

You cant correct my opinion. I think its unfortunate.

Like I said earlier, this fear negatively affects people being able to date with clear communication. In my opinion.

PlantBased posted...

This whole topic seems like it's just you trying to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is as into wanting kids as you.

I would like to know who doesnt want kids on a first date. The idea of Well, kids arent important to me. So you, whom they are, shouldnt bring up until some random amount of time is odd.

If people think its too serious, thats one thing. I understand that. But like said, I think its unfortunate.

Typically you can tell if someone has an unreasonable amount of disdain for someone if they cant answer What are things this person is correct or reasonable about?

Online discourse is very binary. Peterson has shit takes. But he gives (generally) decent advice on male/female dynamics Ive seen.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


To me, having a family is just an organic answer to what do you want to do in your life?. Which some variant of that should be asked on a first date.

Its no different to someone stating they want to travel, or are very devout in a religion. To me, its a fundamental thing to know about a potential partner. To me.

Like, chemistry can be determined by discussion. And often times, you cant accurately gauge chemistry without time.

Discovering what people want and why they even want to date is something you can immediately discern by asking about it. So why not? What makes someones job or what they do on weekends more important? And if not, what specifically are you discussing?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I can immediately know if someone is a bad match by clarifying what our wants and expectations are. If someone is super religious, and Im not. Id wanna know that early so that I can not continue. Because wed be incompatible.

What I dont want is to date someone, potentially like them and feel we vibe well, and then discover a very large expectation like children differences come up. People would be prone to back down on their own life standards if its someone they emotionally are attached to. Or they may have to end a relationship they enjoyed for it.

I want to clarify dealbreakers as soon as possible to avoid that for both parties.

PlantBased posted...

You only feel that way because you know that having kids is foundational to your idea of a viable relationship. That's the only way that something can simultaneously be so important that it must be discussed ASAP before the relationship can even begin and just lighthearted, casual conversation.

You're not wrong for that, those are your priorities, but going back to the topic in general, not everyone feels that way.

Thats unfortunate if folks feel that way.

To me, getting expectations and what people would even want out of dating is important to discuss first.

Like, I dont think it should be treated so seriously.

Anteaterking posted...

If having kids is so important to you, why don't you bring it up *before* the first date?

I try to if it can come up.

But this topic is moreso why its a stigma to talk about in general.

Its like the dont talk about pay at work thing. I feel like some things are socially discouraged for no real reason. So was curious if folks could elaborate.

PlantBased posted...

Yes. In what instance is it not?

I'm open to talking about anything as long as the conversation arrives there naturally, but in my experience the topic of having kids rarely does.

I feel like what are your goals or what aspirations do you have? are normal questions. Id answer having kids to either of those questions.

For a lot of people, having a family is pretty normal and not heavy at all. Its not like Im gonna start talking about parenting styles or some shit.

PlantBased posted...

I like levity and as much organic exploration as possible on a first date, which is hampered severely by heavy talk. I'm also in no hurry to get anywhere, so I don't feel like any first date could possibly be a waste of time on those grounds.

Asking if youd want kids is heavy talk? You only talk about hobbies and pop culture on a first date?

Proto_Spark posted...

Kids are something to come up when you've been dating for a while and can like, say you're in a relationship.

Why?

Mistere_Man posted...

Because I havent even gotten to know them enough about you to even think about that far ahead yet honestly.

If you mean general would you ever want to have kids/get married then that is ok imo.

And just to clarify, I mean the latter. But folks act like me bringing up my long term goals means I mean with them. Which is egocentric imo.

Tmaster148 posted...

First dates are generally with someone you don't really know and is there to gauge if you have any interest in going further. Not really the best time to discuss long term plans with someone who might not be interest in going forward.

But if kids is a deal breaker, which it is for many, why waste time by not declaring long term intentions?

This stuff is immediately advertised on dating app profiles.

Like. Do they think discussing long term desires is bad? Is talking about compatibility not important?

I hear the third went the way of Dino Crisis and turned into a CoD clone.

Id suggest waiting for the remake of the sequel tbh. Theyre pretty much guaranteed to make it.

Otherwise, people say the sequel is the best one.

BurmesePenguin posted...

When the cast finds out Chihiro was a guy they all immediately start referring to him as he instead of she. They find out later in the story that he wasn't trans, but certainly my immediate reaction would have been to assume so.

I mean.. trans people wasnt something thats particularly well known until recently.

Even then, people assume to be trans, you need to actually do surgery. Otherwise its just cross crossing.

In general.

Personally, I prefer when a trainer is honest and straightforward about negatives for the company. I dont want a shill that acts like HR.

I want to really know expectations from both sides.

For that you should get DSLR or a mirrorless camera if you want to. I use my DSLRs for all my family pictures since the quality is unmatched and more data is in the photo. I don't want to preserve that in a cheap phone canera.

This is such a socially inept response, good God.

It has been established that they are humans who have been cybernetically enhanced by Dr Gero (unlike #16, who is fully machine). #17 and #18 being human is also how #18 and Krillin are able to have a daughter.

They are cyborgs. So they have mechanical enhancements. Its also why they cant run out of stamina. Not fair to compare them to humans.

Probably not since you dont really see yourself enough to tell your distinguishing traits.

BS so if someone had a issue that made them gain weight and someone said they look like boogie that wouldn't be an insult?

Depends. I dont know who boogie is.

If you compare to someone in a negative light, its insulting. Misgendering falls under this.

Weight gain, in general, will probably lean on insulting since a lot of folks view being fat as bad.

cjsdowg posted...

Making fun of people for being bald is an insult

No it isnt. He said she looks like another person who was bald in a joking manner.

Thats not insulting. Not all jokes are insults.

You are the to own the libs meme. Pushing back on things just because of who says it.

Ill give an easy example.

If a well known personal trainer says publicly that exercise is good. Dont stay inside playing video games/watching TV all day.

You wouldnt say But hes a personal trainer! He just wants people to hire him for his services more! He doesnt actually care about the well being of people!

You wouldnt because two things can be true at the same time.

So going back to the CEO.

Is he saying something that can benefit him? Sure. I dont personally know his business model or if he even is pushing his employees to go back to office. But I also dont care because he can still be correct in his observation.

Does that make more sense?

Gwynevere posted...

Taking everything people say at face value with no nuance seems like a quick path toward getting yourself exploited.

But this is what I mean by arrogance. Take what at face value? His opinion?

Is me agreeing with his opinion exploitation?

Do you genuinely think folks cant read his words and deduce that a CEO would have a bias perspective? Specifically an older one? Do you think the average person is that stupid, truly?

I dont care about the overall workforce mumbo jumbo stuff. I personally think hes correct in regards to the benefits of working in office.

Do I think everyone should? No. Am I saying the CEO is just a selfless sage giving wisdom? No.

But the specific words he gave, to me, are not wrong.

But folks always ignore what is said and just bring up the individual. As if yall are the only ones smart enough to decipher bias or bad intent.

Arrogance.

I dont particularly know why you disagree with his words since you havent given your opinion in this topic, but I hope you can understand my point.

If not, agree to disagree.

Just a heads up. Nobody was insulted.

Gwynevere posted...

Maybe if we didn't have mountains of historical data to suggest that employers will use everything they have at their disposal to make sure employment is overall a better deal for them than it is for the worker, you might have a point. The entire point of unionization is to protect workers from employers that will exploit you.

Like, this isn't even something up for interpretation. You're just straight up wrong on this.

I dont care about your paranoia tbh. You act like a rich CEO just cant commit on work lifestyle. Like, what if he says the opposite? Should he be ignored then too? Can he never say anything that also benefits him, even if it has merit? Is he not able to reference his personal experience for what he may think is beneficial?

Its stupid. Go by the words people say, and stop assuming stuff based on what people are. Because you ironically cause more people to be what you dislike by disregarding them in such glib fashion.

Like, if his words are wrong, say why. I agree with him in regards to his actual words. Others in this topic have as well. Why he says it is irrelevant to the actual point. It may give insight to what he has to gain, but if I think his words have sound reasoning, dispute that. Dont just bring up him specifically as if youre the only one smart enough to note he could have something to gain. Its arrogant.

I notice it with online folks a lot. And I dont get it. Youre just paranoid. In my eyes.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

I don't think you realize how much time of your day commuting can actually take.

Like, I had one office job where my total commute time per day was about 2.5 - 3 hours . And that's just time spent driving. You still have to get up even earlier than that just to get ready and dressed for work. Furthermore, you'll probably need to adjust your sleep schedule around this as well.

For many people, you could legitimately be adding 5-6 hours to your day just by not having to commute.

I think the disconnect is that everyone is envisioning a different situation.

Of course if commuting is a drain, working from home may be better for energy or gas etc. Just like if you have kids or something. Working from home may be better for you. Of course!

But there are also folks that when they wake up, driving somewhere for 10
minutes is just the boot up time needed to start the day. If I work from home, Im prone to wait until the last minute to clock in because I can. But when I just got out of bed ten seconds ago, Im not exactly energized. And that can affect the whole shift.

Nobody is saying one way is better. But I interpret the guy in the OP as just pointing out downsides to working 100% remote that folks tend to ignore.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

How many people are actually in a mood to do anything social after coming home from work though? Most people I know are too physically and mentally exhausted to want to do anything more than go home and relax, unless it's a Friday.

This happens whether theres a commute or not.

Often times, not having a separation of work/home can affect people too. If you dont actually leave, then the environment of work starts being the same as home. Especially if you dont dress like youre going to work. That can affect you mentally.

Personally, being around people at work gives me more energy than being at home by myself working.

Neither side is indefinitely better or correct for folks.

FAQ-Checker posted...

Does he mean this literally? Is he saying that if he didn't agree to the firing that he was going to walk in and shoot up the office before killing himself?

This. Without verbal reference, I cant tell if hes being hyperbolic or not.

He definitely is trashing remote work. He's framing in office socialization as a good thing, and saying remote work doesnt allow for it. Does this really read to you that he's pro remote work? Actually, he says this:

I dont interpret his words like you do then.

Personally, I think people should have the choice if allowed. Obviously not every field can, and tbh, I dont know what work he refers to.

But I do think if straight out of high school, you work remote, youre missing opportunities.

Ill just agree to disagree. I am bias since I hated my work being forced into remote work when covid started. Shit was depressing as fuck.

You mean the logic where we infer that he's implying the same thing that other CEOs and executive types are saying when they trash remote work?

Yes.

That logic is abhorrent.

Well, people from group A all say this, so anyone that shares the traits of group must ALSO be saying it. Even if they dont say it.

Its stupid logic, yes. Treating everything so adversarial is not healthy or a genuine way to engage with things you read.

The dude doesnt even trash remote work. Thats you tossing the worst interpretation possible onto his words.
