  • Man, you just made me sad by remembering that my local Pub D that didn't give a shit about kids, dogs, or weird sex shit is closing down. Sucks cuz it's the only openly LGBTQ+ bar in the area that I'm aware of.

  • Boring/repetitive work. For example, I regularly use an AI coding assistant to block our basic loop templates with variables filled in, or have it quickly finish the multiple case statements or assigning values to an object with a bunch of properties.

    In little things like that, it's great. But once you get past a medium sized function, it goes off the rails. I've had it make up parameters in stock library functions based on what I asked it for.

  • The biggest dealer I have ever been to had like 5 salespersons in store at any given time.

    And probably half that in financing people.

    I worked for a dealership group for a few years, and we had 4 different buildings in our local campus. Like you said, maybe 3-6 sales people in any given shift in each building, but only 1-2 financing people on shift in the same building.

    Not even mentioning that the easy sales still took 30-45 minutes to get through financing. There's no possibile way that this is legit...

  • Those things aren't mutually exclusive, and just because you don't hear the media reporting on it doesn't mean we're not.

    To no one's surprise, the billionaire owned media isn't reporting on the reports on the protests against the billionaire run kakistocracy.

  • This is why y'all are a joke. There are two links that link to tankies being tankies, but you gotta hold onto your ego instead of clicking a link.

    I'm so done engaging with people like you

    Because you fucking can't. Intellectual honesty is something you've only read about LOL

  • Why would I bother linking more shit for you when you're already crickets* against the shit that's already been linked? You're hot on the draw to respond to me without a link, but awfully quiet to those who linked you what you wanted, why don't you go talk to them? Or would you rather engage with what you think is going to be the easy dunk lol?

    If you're not going to respond to people who have already done the shit you asked, why should I bother to waste more time when you appear to be participating in bad faith?

    Tankies are a joke, and it stopped being funny years ago.

  • You have seen people who are against US imperialism having a wide set of opinions on the conflict. But no communists support Putin. He's a bigoted reactionary.

    Lol, no true scottsman much? I've looked through histories on some of the people I've run into, and their history says they are. Honestly, you may as well be saying

    'Sure they say they're communist, express communist beliefs, read communist literature and engage in long, drawn out conversations regarding communist praxis, but they support Putin so they're not really a communist.'

  • Do these people exist or are they just strawmen? I've not really ever encountered so-called "tankies".

    They're strawmen.

    Anything can be called a strawman if you don't bother to look at evidence showing that it happens.

  • Fuck Tankies

  • but with an imperialist power like USA and maybe even Russia and China if you count them

    It would be silly to discount Russia and China's imperialism. They're both on the level of the US, they just lack the power projection to be as bad as the US. But the actions they've taken with the level of power projection they have show that fact.

  • where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees

    I know this probably makes it worse, but the Afghan child most likely wouldn't even have a chance to see the plane (or more likely, predator drone) that fired the missile that killed them.

    It's one of the many reasons these children are fucking terrified of clear skies and sunny days.

  • That's what I do at work, even though I'm salary.

    Management decided to hire a new guy and then have a round of layoffs within 6 months, effectively canning someone to replace him. Since then, we've had multiple times where we have hundreds of tickets sitting unassigned because there's more work than people. So shit sits and falls through the cracks until someone has time or something is on fire.

    It fucking sucks, but eventually the bean counters will see that we actually needed that extra body....

  • It all depends on how time tracking is implemented.

    Tell me I have to account for my time in 15-30 min increments? Fine, I can put it into a spreadsheet and track it.

    Tell me I have to track real time spent? Get entirely fucked, and I hope you're ok with spending time fixing my time punches because I absolutely am going to forget to open or close a time entry because I'm working on 3-4 tasks at any given time.

    I've done both, and while I won't intentionally sabotage the latter, my rampant ADHD and terrible memory have got my back on that one.
