  • I'd prefer at least to maintain districts, 1 vote for 1 district, remove states and the extra two votes. Each district exactly the same number of people, give or take 1%. Give the low populated counties out in the boonies a chance to be heard.

    But failing that, straight popular vote is a better option than the current cluster fuck.

  • I live by this philosophy

    If you charge me more to make both our lives easier, I will make both our lives harder out of spite.

    It will cost you more than the fee you tried to squeeze out of me, and I will have spent nothing.

  • That's a human nature thing. We are really much happier as people when there's a "logical" course of real events that lead to any disaster. We can understand "evil group did evil thing" better than "the collective actions of humanity over the last 200 years caused a fundamental change to our world that we cannot reverse in our lifetime."

    We aren't good at nuance.

    Some random wacko deciding to kill Kennedy because of mental illness and a general hostility towards his world view is harder for us to accept than a secret plot to seal power. Bad guys make sense to us. Chaotic elements just don't.

  • WKRP Cincinnati, first annual turkey drop. A piece of legendary comedy history. Low key a jab at a failed real life attempt to release 2 million balloons in Cincinnati that resulted in two deaths.

  • Philosophy at it's core can be cool, informative, and even critical.

    Most philosophy is fancy bullshit.

    Just like anything else creative with a low barrier to entry, 90% is crap. The rest may be corn

  • So we've been down that road. There are company computers available for that purpose, and training has been provided. It's a joke we tell each other around here that the only training we get is on the app.

    For the handful of folks who are legally prohibited from having a smart phone, the state has requirements in place that they be notified of any schedule changes in advance, they're often the first to know.

    The CEO frequently holds little meetings and fields questions, that's the next route.

    I don't know what they were sold or why they're so insistent that we download the app, but their feverish insistence that we download it sure makes me suspicious.

  • Almost certainly. If the guy who was making yandere simulator was tasked with a sprinkler app, it wouldn't be much worse than it currently is.

    I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to programming, but I know bad programming when I see it.

  • I did mention that when I connected to it via a VPN I could see my outgoing traffic spike suspiciously, that particular member of HR is no longer with the company and few of those remaining have the technical background to understand why I find that problematic.

    Sadly around here, you're either on board with the direction the ship is sailing, or you're not on board. Those is us in bargained positions have been fine, and voice our frustrations freely. But management does not have the same freedom to do so.

  • I did mention at one of these meetings that we wouldn't give them space on our personal devices for free, it did not change their tune. The union has been hammering them on it during negotiations but I doubt they'll budge on that and we have bigger issues to deal with so they won't let it be a sticking point.
