This guy has just, out in the open, bought himself into a position of power. This is the type of shit you see in a movie. Next thing you know, he'll be scowling at a local detective reminding him of his diplomatic immunity.
I once had a co-worker like this named Andrew. One morning, while he scrambled to fill any moments of silence, I told him “Andrew, silence is ok sometimes” and went back to my work. He was significantly less annoying to work with afterwards.
I probably came off as a bit of a dick, though it wasn’t my intention.
Man, stock buybacks are such a scam and should go back to being illegal. It’s just market manipulation and saps resources away from everything else, especially wages.
I have the same issue. Brought it in and they cleaned the heck out of it. It’s better feeling though not perfect. I’ll bring it in under warranty another time because they said the process to replace the port takes like two hours and I didn’t have that time when I went in.
It upsets me too but I don’t think being angry about it will change anything. I’d rather take a moment to learn a lesson from her because I’m not sure I’d be so publicly level headed about it.
She’s on a big stage and this is a big moment for a community of marginalized people. She needs to be strong, not just for herself, but the people who find a reflection of themselves in her. Her ability to stay calm in this silly storm is admirable.
Another sad case of progressives winning in policy but failing in messaging.
The right ONLY focuses on messaging (what’s the last real policy win for them?) which makes them incredibly difficult to keep up with.
