If all the employees are in a union, you can’t get rid of all the unions without getting rid of all the employees.

I build cloud IT infrastructure for a living and I’ve been at it for several years. There’s a lot to it, but I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve developed a reputation for being a person who knows how it works and can figure out how to build effectively in it. I won’t call it easy, but I’ve become comfortable and adept with it, and so to some it appears to be easy for me.

Just recently we had a person join our team with a background almost exclusively in OS administration. He’s doing alright for someone who is just starting out, but it’s obvious he’s intimidated and so he asks a lot of questions.

I told him this.

It’s perfectly okay to feel like you’re in over your head on all of this. There is a lot to learn. Besides server administration, you have to understand networking, permissions management, software development to a degree, database management and a ton more.

There’s a plethora of services at your disposal. Much like a giant toolbox, your job is to understand when to pull out the right tool, as well as how to use said tool effectively. This is going to take time, and you’re only going to truly learn it by doing it. Take time and ask questions, and you’ll get the hang of it. When I started, I was in the same boat.

I think that’s made him feel better about his inexperience, and I’ve seen him progressing at an admirable pace.

THAT'S IT, THANK YOU! That was driving me nuts.

Same, though I guess maybe? The public posts and comments make reddit more valuable. Private messages don't.

That being said, I'm calling incompetence on this one.

Because my ability to disappoint may be faster.

I know I’ve seen this one before, but I can’t remember how it all started.

When I heard about the Barbie/Oppenheimer stuff I immediately thought of Doom Crossing too. I still can’t think of a more wholesome pairing than Doom Slayer and Isabelle.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen a meme so accurately describe my week!

Oh what’s he up to now?

Yeah I thought it meant “potentially unwanted apps.”

Completely accurate picture of me.

Oh lol. Well I was certainly confused. Had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t just so zoned out I walked into something, and after I confirmed I didn’t I just had no idea what to think. It was truly unexplainable, at least for me.

I found it absolutely baffling that there was a push to get it taught in a way that doesn’t suggest it occurred based on race. It’s not just ludicrous, but rather malicious. Once you edit out that key fact, what else gets edited out?

I’m pretty sure there’s a Black Mirror episode all about this.

It was weird, but I haven’t really made heads or tales of it. Hadn’t really encountered anything like that before and haven’t since, but it was just bizarre.

I had to read that again as I thought it was someone telling that to Oracle, which would make WAY more sense.

Somebody give this guy a goddamn phd.

I mentioned something akin to this possibility a couple days ago, but was told this likely wasn’t the case. I’ll have to see if I can dig up the argument for that.

Important question time, and ChatGPT wasn’t able to help here. A friend of mine was talking about some neighbors he had in an apartment building that smoked an impressive amount of weed, and that it changed the atmosphere.

For some reason I had immediately thought of “wow they replaced earth’s atmosphere with just weed smoke.”

So now for the question. How big would a joint have to be to accomplish this?

Can’t say I’ve heard of it before, but it makes sense.
