Ran outta dots I imagine.

There are people like me who use voice calls about half the time for work. My number is on my email signature and my emails may get passed around, which I don't mind. When I arrive to a new work site I give my number to at least one person, more commonly three or four. So if I practice what seems to be common today of not answering numbers I don't have saved, I could miss critical communication, and waste time hearing a voicemail and calling back.

I'm not saying one or the other is more correct, just that there are different situations to consider.

It is eight months pay and continue to get paid to work from home until their contact is up despite return to office mandates. And it's not a lot, it's the majority of federal workers. They want a purge.

And we have no idea how many are going to take the offer. This offer is new as of today right?

I actually worked with a guy that really hated Stephen Colbert. He was disgusting in many ways, early alt-right. One day I realized that he wasn't mad about Colbert mocking conservatives, he actually believed it was an honest conservative political show. He loved The Colbert Report. He took it at face value. So when Colbert "came out" as a liberal it broke his heart. He thought the guy turned his back on his ideology for money.

I could not convince him that the Colbert Report was satire. These people really exist.

He's been replaced by our former governor, a Trump loving Republican. What people don't understand is that Manchin was the only Democrat capable of being elected to national office in West Virginia. Yeah he sucked hard, but you'll never see another Democrat get elected in West Virginia outside of local office in the cities.

They think literally everything is zero-sum. If someone else is getting help, that could have been help for them. I have no idea how to undo this programming.

Wrong thread! Oops.

Wrong thread! Oops.

That's always the hard part.

In some cases this could introduce enough moisture to get a connection.

I hope you're right. I would love to see it. I actually support mandatory voting like in Australia. With mostly current laws everyone could get a mail in ballot. If you don't want to participate just check that box at the top, sign it, and send it in.

Your system sounds much better but would require a lot more legislation.

Colin Powell was one of the two Republicans I respected. Then he went on TV and lied to the nation to start Iraq 2.

Make sure you explain open source to them so they know it's not spyware.

They probably mean buy puts but they don't have the knowledge to know the vocabulary.

The vast majority of my invested money is in SPY. I had a lot of "money" wiped out yesterday. It's already trending back up. I'm holding for now.

How do you solve the problem that half the country can't even be bothered to participate once every four years?

Don't get me wrong, I'm with you 100%, but how would we get people to engage with such a system?

Most people are going to use it on mobile. Not possible to mod the app right?

I could do that. Just lend an ear to people who need heard and help people in small ways when I can.

Hell I already kind of do that. I spend half my nights in hotels. Some years are better than others.

Yeah it's a shame. I still like it better than reddit but damn. Civilization 7 is coming out in a few days and I haven't seen a single post.
