Maybe they don't want to land the plane with someone in the bathroom, but I have a hard time believing they can't.

If the person can do the work, why the deception? Is this like overemployed on steroids?

You're doing all the stuff you suggested too, right?

Tickets are primarily inbound right? Do you deal much with tasks that are generated by you or your team, rather than coming from somewhere external?

Your symbol system is interesting. When I used to keep written to do lists I just had dots/bullets for each item, and would make a larger square around the items which took priority. What does investigation mean to you in this context?

That's an interesting philosophy. You haven't had people annoyed that you didn't follow up on something they've asked about? I guess my memory at least isn't good enough to track everything I need to do. Or maybe I could remember but feels like more work/risk than having an external system. I also primarily deal with customer facing stuff so maybe I'd feel different than if I was only dealing with coworkers.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting, the idea of a big list and then a "doing today list" lines up with a "time management for dummies" book I found in a drawer at one of my first jobs. For a while I was using that system but written by hand.

Lot of people here need to get informed and get a grip. Just because a bill is introduced doesn't mean it will be passed. The overwhelming majority of bills that are introduced don't pass. And this is in one state, not federal. And if the legislature passed it the governor may veto it, and it would certainly face legal challenge.

I get that everything sucks right now and it feels like we're getting attacked on every front. I get the administration is doing illegal stuff. We're in for a rough time. Still: don't give them power by acting like every idea they bring up is likely, or possible. This bill is just trolling, it's so some nobody state level legislators will have a bullet point in their newsletter and a social media post.

Why would citizenship be based on where your parents are from?

Works for me

I had waited a long time to have any kind of personal experience of God, and finally gave up. Like they said, the holy spirit was supposed to work in you, I prayed for it and looked for it for a long time. Since it didn't appear, no reason to excuse the problematic passages or shitty people.

Also being at a worker coop doesn't mean you have to sit in company meetings all day. For large organizations like Mondragon workers vote for representatives in an assembly, which then appoints a general manager.

Also also, an owner who cares is a single point of failure/leverage. If they fall on hard times personally or just want to retire, they can decide to sell the business out from under workers to a venture capital firm, or just to another business with a less benevolent owner.

Uhh .. beans. Jeans!

You're right, private owners who care are better than private owners who don't care.

Worker owned and controlled companies are preferable (not just ESOPs where decisions are still not made democratically) because democracy allows for error correction. Even the most benevolent king still has a limited amount of attention, information and decision making ability.

On this point it makes sense people are eager to explicitly identify slave owning as the primary driver for secession, because it's the truth and there is still an active attempt to cover it up

The lost cause argument is something racist losers came up with after the war where they try to say it was more about states rights (and oh by the way slavery wasn't so bad, many slaves like being slaves)

Some schools still teach this, I went to a "Northern" school and still had textbooks making this argument.

Your post seems to echo this by saying the South's main thing was they wanted to be separate, even though that happened to include slavery, there were other reasons too. That's not the case. When they seceded the south explicitly identified slavery as THE reason why they were doing it.

I've seen you say a few places in this thread that reducing caloric intake is related to eugenics. That's a pretty strong claim to make without any evidence. Can you share any?

If you know it then why are you being a dick?

You know in most elections slightly less than half of the voters voted for the other candidate, right?
