  • What do you do when homeless folks ask for money?

    Jump

  • I give what I can when I can. It's rare to have actual cash, but if it's close to a restaurant I just ask if they want food or drink and buy them something with my card. Takes 5 minutes and is just a small act of kindness and support from another person. Most people don't even acknowledge they exist, let alone talk to them.

    Life under capitalism seriously sucks for all of us (except a few hundred people), if I can maybe help make someone's day a little less shitty I'll try.

    I don't mean this in a judgemental way at all, but just remember that they are humans too, just like you or I. Most people do not realize just how insanely lucky they are to be able to do basic things like work and have a house and car and have money and all that many people don't get the same opportunities and are dealt a bad hand in life through no fault of theirs. One big medical bill can make someone homeless in this system. Don't feel bad or awkward about having some resources that others don't have, but you can also slow down and share a little.

    Treat other people how you would want to be treated if roles reversed. Simple as that.

    Again, I don't mean to make anyone feel bad for not giving. I also don't mean to elevate myself in the least, I'm not any better than you, I'm just trying to help people see the humanity in others regardless of money.

  • Trump says he's placing Washington police under federal control and deploying the National Guard

  • Some people read magazines or scroll social media while they shit, but THIS GUY reads classified national secrets.

    What's funny is he is simultaneously too dumb to be reading that sort of thing and too dumb to not understand how national security works.

  • People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like?

  • It is a bit of a stretch maybe, BUT ALSO, try being a woman in a toxic male dominated workplace and I get it.

    But the problem isn't actually the layout, it's the environment and culture of that place.

  • I've been remote for 5 years, since Covid. And it's been wonderful. I've been more productive, happier, better relationship with my family, had more time for hobbies and cooking healthy, spent WAY less money on fast food and gasoline. Before Covid I was in an office and hated it, but didn't even know why, after I was home for a few weeks I realized why, it's because I wasn't being interrupted and distracted every 5 seconds all day long and when I had meetings I could keep working while talking on the video call instead of having to log off, get up and walk to a meeting room.

    Now they are making half the company come back in if you are within some arbitrary radius. Which means teams are all split like mine where half must now commute in, but half don't, so me and half my team now has to commute in just to go into a conference room and join a video call with the other half.

    And the meetings are scattered all over every day so that basically means no actual work will get done every day.

    I'm looking forward to chatting with my coworkers and laughing as productivity tanks.

    Maybe instead of having meetings all day and forcing people to commute in for a computer based job management could be clear about what is needed, enable people and set them up for success and then leave them alone to get it done.

    It feels like trying to swim 100m, but there is a manager walking along the edge next to you asking you for updates every 5 seconds. Still swimming and the more you ask the longer this takes.

    I think RTO is just a power play. They can do a soft pay cut, a soft layoff as people quit, establish dominance and force employees to be their fake little family instead of their actual families.

    It's so ridiculous.

    It's the same fad thing as Open Office Layouts were a decade or two ago. Everyone hates it, productivity tanked, it was miserable, but everyone was doing it so CEOs did it to show how current they were.

  • It's a classic manipulation technique. It's never "I think that..." It's always framed as "Lots of people think that .." to give it credibility, but it's a lie and meant to manipulate you into feeling like you are alone and the group all thinks differently than you to force you to comply.

    Lots of leaders do it. Trump does it constantly. CEOs do it. Abusive people do it in their relationships.

    Once you know it and recognize it you start seeing it EVERYWHERE from dishonest people.

    It's funny to ask them "Which people say that?" If you can. It makes them SQUIRM.

  • I guess that can be true, but my company is all over the country. Teams like mine are half local and half out of state. They are forcing us all back in the office, but not for all those far away. There are small teams that have only 1 or 2 people local and they are making that one person drive into an office anyway. It's like a slap in the face to me.

    We've proved remote work is better in every metric.

    If they really want people to have a better rapport, there are other ways besides decreeing blindly that everyone must travel to a central space. It just puts all the cost and burden on the employees and takes 0 effort from management to actually, ya know, manage.

  • I was making the point that people are just now finally realizing that Zionism, similar to Christian Nationalism in the US, have been the issue all along. It's been 80 years and here they are each repeating all the same atrocities all over again.

    Tribalism and fear and hate is causing so much destruction and death and suffering.

  • Yeah, fair. But also, you can't convince me that every single MAGA just don't know what's going on. We are all telling them, showing them, showing up with receipts and history books, proving their premises wrong at every turn, proving Trump a liar at every turn, proving all the horrible things true at every turn. And they always just go "whatever, I voted for this!"

    At some point it isn't just propaganda and ignorance, but willfully and knowingly.

    They have permission to be racist, hateful, assholes and bullies and abusers and they love it. And they love that he is doing it all for them and they can just sit back and watch.
