Comment Re:Judge Will Be Overturned (Score 1) 12

Ya, I tend to trust the SCOUTS to nip this brand of idiocy in the bud when it crops up every generation, but nope, ignoring all the precedence of least infringing, privacy, and the increasing amount of data breaches... fuck that as long as states can virtue signal they are doing something to protect the kiddos.

And this will certainly not be abused, not have any creep, and upends decades of juror's prudence.

Fuck this court and fuck this government..

If for whatever reason managers and owners value ass-in-seat (AIS) more, why don't they simply offer a bonus for AIS jobs? They could pay maybe say 5% less for a full WFH employee. This would increase hiring choices. Right now The Suits don't care because the job market is slow, they mostly get what they want, but eventually the AIS bonus will probably become the norm.

"1) Choose fascism."  Choose Franco instead of Stalin: choose Mussolini instead of Mao: choose Pinochet instead of Pol Pot. No, you cannot accuse "cherry-picking", because collectivist klans/cultures ALWAYS end in horrific tyranny. Find your own examples, beside Jonestown and the Spanish Inquisition.

2) Produce useful items  , marry your sweetheart & raise a family. Spend years rebuilding a 1959 Plymouth Fury with Hurst 4-speed !  Live a life of Enlightenment culture and Western civilization. Prosper.

"... department with a lot of H-1Bs ..." Why does your department hire H1-Bs. Is it only because they are cheaper than citizens. Or do you have a deeper hate  against ... straight white male native  Christians ? Does the huge hiring of Indian C -suites directly imply that racism ?

companies bent over backwards to appease that clown in the half-a-white-house, and he responds by making it more difficult

Spoiled brats are never satisfied. When they give in they embolden Don. The companies may initially think he's "pro-business", but actually he's pro-Trump, and will suck them dry to appease his demented whims if not stopped.

Well it's not like the predictive power of a physical exam is all that great. So you might be looking at a big impact on your lifestyle or career based on a false or small increase in risk (you tell yourself).

I know in military aviation there are games people play to avoid getting kicked off the flight line.

Comment Re:Extreamists? (Score 1) 59

Do we have to abuse every word until its meaningless.

You can call them extremists, when the bomb some data-center, or gun down a group of intellectual property attorneys at the firms anal barbecue.

Until I think we can go with 'activists' or maybe even 'agitators', hell 'criminal offenders' if you wish, but extremists is kind of a weird take.

Wait, I am confused. Are you talking about spotify or the hackers?

The fact Democrats support it is enough for Trump to remove it, especially if Biden or Obama had supported it.

I'm reminded of ancient Egypt, where each new Pharoah's first order of business was to destroy the monuments created by (and for) his predecessor, and then to start building new ones by (and for) himself. Have we reached that level of narcissism?

Never leave a tip on the credit card line. I --always-- put $0 and then put cash on the table or in the card-folio.

Sometimes I'll do it that way, sometimes I put it on the credit line. However, there's one chain of coffee shops where I'll always put the cash on the table, because the lowest tip percentage available is more that I think is proper for a tip except for extraordinary circumstances.
