Can we get rid of woke washing of hands while we're at it?

You were never a real Mets fan if you treat their losses as a punishment or a crisis instead of grist for the scrappy underdog vibes, that's spiritually Boston behavior

Yeah I gotta say if it turns out *this* is the thing that bothers us, rather than, say, what is done to the image of Christ found in the poor and dispossessed themselves, then all those Calvinist warnings about idolatry basically seem correct to me.

"Decent processes"

Long before "knowing what you do and how it's done is woke", this was incredibly rare.

The only thing mitigating this these days are blanket cert requirements in regulated industries. The rest seem even more likely to be flying by the seat of their pants.

I think the real anti-pattern is thinking executives can do any real work.

Lots of middle-managers *are* mostly wordless or negative productivity, but that doesn't mean execs can fill the gap.

It means you need to promote actual workers to do the work.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

In these chaotic times, the Mets being the Mets is one of the few grounding things around.

lol, a "coup that actually ends well" is the most impossible of the proposed solutions.

"Gee, maybe we should fully unteather the world's biggest military from all democratic norms and ethics, and hope it goes well" πŸ™„

Critical thinking is important.

Similar thing happened with the "Sewer Socialists" of Milwaukee in the first half of the 20th century.

House Republicans vote to reverse 20-year mining ban in Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness The U.S. House of Representatives is voting Wednesday on a bill that would reverse a 20-year ban on mining in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

Pete Stauber was the one that started this in the House! Dems fought hard against it but all GOP voted for it.

Stauber and Emmer need to be voted out!

This is literally just her saying "Trumps words count, the Pope's don't"

They make everything into politics and then call for certain people to abstain from politics, ie everything.

It's just "shut up" with more steps.
