I have heard that it feels more like giving then receiving so not worth it honestly
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 1 hour ago:
Committing to do your best isn’t a commitment. When you get questioned about it you just say you’re doing your best.

There is a fine line between not following instructions and being combative. The reason yours doesn’t work is because it opens the conversation up more for the employer to ask questions. It tows the line of being combative and telling the employer to pound sand.
There is no harm in telling the employer you’ll try to fix something. You just can’t commit because they’ll hold you to the standard you set. Committing to “do your best” can’t be challenged and most middle managers will think they won the conversation.

Since you’re union the only correct response is: “I’m sorry you feel that way, I’ll do my best to work on that”. That needs to be your response for literally any type of criticism. It’s not an admission of guilt, it cuts the conversation short, and it’s not a direct commitment to fix it. If they follow up with more crap about why you need to fix it just repeat the line.

Got any inside tips for shopping there? Like good ways to save some money?
- Comment on True staple of the format 1 week ago:
For me experiences from real people are worlds better than googling. “Go from A to B” might seem straightforward but a human could tell you be carefull in the middle because there’s a pothole. Information from people is more helpful.

People need to remember that these themed businesses are taking huge risk by maintaining their identity. If a CB goes out of business they practically take a loss on the building because no one wants to buy an old timey restaurant. It’s too niche. Companies are going to bland and grey so the properties are easier to sell. It was never about woke and everything to do with money as usual.

You don’t like beans on toast? I’m kidding but I’m has plenty of good food. Full English, fish and chips, shepherds pie, toad in the hole, bangers and mash just to name a few.

A better question is which one of these is the worst. If I had to pick, B and C are not the best but even those aren’t too bad. A looks like it isn’t much but it is arguably the best. French and UK cuisine.

DVD Netflix was an amazing deal for movie enthusiasts. Weekly movie nights without having to go to Blockbuster was so cool.

Yes because they IP ban people

I guess it’s up to us Americans to do it for them then.

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 4 weeks ago:
You can not blame people for using a system that is legal. Just because you believe something is immoral doesn’t make it wrong.

- Comment on Not stealing 1 month ago:
Low both rates deplete the workforce in the long term. Creates issues where tax revenue is low and cost of social programs and healthcare are extremely high because there are so many people at retirement age and beyond. Birth rates at a minimum should be stagnant.
- Comment on Not stealing 1 month ago:
There are people giving 100% of their paychecks for childcare and the spouse pays for everything else.
That is a failure of the US and birth rates won’t improve until that changes.

- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 month ago:
I guess I’m at that age where stuff like this means I’m old 😂
I’ll answer your question though: just buy a watch that the minutes are clearly marked with ticks and the minute hand moves by the minute and isn’t in constant motion.
Here’s some friendly advice though. Before digital, there really wasn’t a way to be so accurate down to the minute. Remember there wasn’t even really a way to get the right time. You just got it from somewhere else and hoped that time was accurate.
With that said, anyone that needed pinpoint accuracy had other means of getting the time or they used very expensive chronometers that kept time extremely well. In other words normal people just did stuff a couple minutes early in case their watches were slow.
ALL OF THAT to say if you want accuracy down to the minute, just use digital.

The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.

Squiggly line in my eye, fluid.
I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh squiggly line, it’s alright, you are forgiven.

And of course you only respond to the person accusing you of being a b**. I censored it because I want to see if you have a script that auto responds to certain keywords.

Ngl bro but I’ve found some good uses for AI. My kids school gave me 2 bullshit pdfs with duplicate information for their school supplies. I uploaded them to chatgbt and asked it to simplify it by combining duplicates and putting it in bullet format that was easily copy pastable. Did it in 30 seconds with minor tweaking and made my back to school shopping so much easier.

My motto is if something it’s important, I’ll receive a text/message immediately after a missed call.
If not it couldn’t be that important.
