Making you pretend to like it is HR's kink.

Researching the company used to be a thing you did when selecting a career/lifetime position.

.... Since that doesn't happen anymore, I couldn't give any less of a shit about what your company is all about. I can do thing, you want to pay me to do thing. It's as simple as that. All the rest of this crap, I just don't have the time, effort or shits to give.

Same. There's so much here that's just excellent.

If I'm working late on something, I expect to be paid for that time and the company can provide a meal.

You're not paying me? I'll see you later then.

Shocked Pikachu

People will work FOR MONEY!??!

• every HR team ever.

BuT We'Re A FaMiLy HeRe!

Let's stop mincing words here.

You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.

I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.

Your main concerns are profits.

My main concerns are survival.

Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let's not pretend that we're here because we're friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.

No, the rest of us just stopped responding to these threads. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.

The kinds of people who repost this meme over and over again, are the kinds of people who don't do updates, and the reason why updates are automatic by default on Windows. They don't know nor care to know what is going on with their os, they just have an idea of what they expect will happen, and when something different happens, they complain and post memes about it.

Of course, not every single person is like that, there are and always will be exceptions

The hard truth is that most people don't know and don't care what's running on their computer until it gets in their way.

Neither of those keys exist.

Probably because I keep uninstalling the software.

Same. Question sucks. Teacher is a tool. Kid needs bonus points for a creative solution.

This always pissed me off about all formal school. They don't want a good answer, they don't even want the correct answer. They want you to give them the answer they previously told you to give them, regardless of all other factors.

Real life doesn't work like that. In reality, the "correct" answer is anything that completes the objective. In this scenario, the answer provided was reasonable, logical and most importantly, it was not incorrect.

You still need a PD willing to gather, keep secure and submit evidence that portrays it as a hate crime. The detectives and LEO's involved may be hiding statements, motives, physical evidence, etc, by simply not recording it as such.

You are calling people out about assumptions, and saying Joss was "acting erratically" and I would like to point out that you don't know that his "erratic" behaviour wasn't in response to anything, nor who may have incited him to act that way.

Just because he didn't point the finger at someone for one crime or another, doesn't mean he did it either. He may have been covering for someone to either save face or avoid escalation.

I'm not saying I know either, and that's my point. You see some reports and news stories and you've drawn conclusions and made assumptions based on that without really knowing if any of the assumptions you made are correct.

The only person who really knew is dead now, at the hands of someone who clearly had issues getting along with him.

This argument is stupid. They might not know but neither do you.

Probably perpetrated by some dumb straight Christians.

But the reporting on this will focus more on the fact that the victim was ingenious and/or gay, than what's going on with the shooter.

But we get headlines like "trans person sentenced to (insert punishment) for (insert random crime)" or something similar whenever anyone from the LGBTQ+ community acts out.

You'll never see "straight man shoots a person because the shooter was a dick" or anything similar.

Fucking double standards.

Heh, it's a small business and bossman isn't exactly anti-AI.

I think GDPR and related laws, really tempered what Microsoft did to the whole of the European region. They didn't want to deal with it, so they made as much as they could, opt-in. As opposed to the north american policies of either opt-out, or forced-on.

IDK. I don't work at Microsoft, I'm just guessing. 🙃

For those curious, if you can get a European Windows product key, you can install the "N" version of Windows. Be warned, it only works with certain product keys....

The standard Windows installer should give the option of "Windows 10" or "Windows 10 N" (or similar). The N version is basically bloatware free out of the box....

The regular version has a bunch of promos pre-installed, like candy crush, and other things that most people couldn't give a shit about....

Recently I've been playing a "fun" game with my work laptop where I'll remove copilot, and a few days later it will appear again. Weeee. In that case, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a policy in place to enable copilot on my works systems.... I'm sure someone who works here, probably higher up the food chain than me, wants it enabled, and the ham fisted policy maker can't create a policy just for those who want it, so everyone gets it because the bosses son Shane decided that he wants to see how much of his work can get done by AI so he can do even less while on the clock.

Gotta go put on your lady face and feel uncomfortable to use the restroom as a trans man now.

Can't make the straights feel things!

And we certainly can't have any ungendered bathrooms in public spaces. No siree.

/s (obv.)

Also speaking as a cis straight male, this is fucking stupid. Use whatever bathroom you feel comfortable going into, don't be a creep and certainly don't rape anyone.... Those directives may be targeted at different groups of people.... Just saying.

Be who you want to be.

That's the joke.

I take it, you use arch?

This is gold. Thank you.
