There will be a GPO for that, always is.

If you had half a brain cell you'd see her account beats up on Trump daily.

"She dumb! Me smart!"

EDIT: Y'all once again prove yourselves to be suckers. Go check that account with some media literacy and skepticism. If I were to make an account to turn MAGA around, not sure I could do better. Really slick! Slick for people who aren't media literate...

Once again, lemmy believes whatever fits the zeitgeist around here.

"HAHA stupid conservative!"

3 of 4 of her posts are baggin' on Trump and the state of the US under him.

Petting a manatee is a $10,000 fine. No touch.

What all would you pack into a mini portable first aid kit?

Jump

shalafi @lemmy.world 2d ago

Ever used hydrocolloid bandaids? They are the best! Yeah, they're more expensive, and as usual, Band-Aid brand is by far the best. I've used them in the field dozens of times.

Would not use them on puncture wounds and they seal the bacteria in quite nicely. But for surface wounds they're antibacterial and a bandaid all in one.

Denmark sets up ‘night watch’ to monitor Trump after Greenland row

Jump

shalafi @lemmy.world 2d ago

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until Trump's death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post.

I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realm of Greenland. I pledge my life and honor to Trumps's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Why do people hate on cosmetic surgeries so much?

Jump

shalafi @lemmy.world 2d ago

I had a gf who lived in a camper in an RV park. She could afford a touch of botox a couple of times a year. She was 50 and looked 40, if not younger. You would have never guessed she did that.

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce

Welcome to lemmy where every question is 100% or 0%. AI will augment many professions leading to a lower need for such people.

Lemmy users who created a profile with an actual picture of yourself (and maybe even use your real name), why did you decide to do that?

Jump

shalafi @lemmy.world 3d ago

Didn't use a profile pic but I've posted several pics of myself. With very little effort you could end up on my front porch.

I figured I've commented enough on here that anyone that cares could track my down even without the more obvious clues. I simply don't care.

Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead

Jump

shalafi @lemmy.world 3d ago

“At the end of August, I’m going away [on vacation],” she adds. “And my team will all know, [so] when they’re able to actually go off and do something, they should go off the grid and do it.”

She's not talking about being nonstop plugged in. The corollary is that you can unplug when you need to. That sort of thing goes without saying when you have a solid job and management.

You hardly have to be an executive to have those sorts of options. I have done everything you mentioned at my last two jobs and didn't have a single soul under my name on the org chart. This comment tells me you've never had a good job at a good company.

She's clearly not talking about that sort of job and you've clearly never had the sort of job she's talking about.

I had great work-life integration job before last and I've never been happier in my career. I was often excited to get to work and try some news things I'd thought of and often worked late testing stuff. When life required my attention, I didn't feel a bit bad about blowing off work.

None of that is unreasonable. Sometimes I'm hitting on all 8-cylinders and want to keep working. Other time I'm useless so I go do something else.

You're ignoring the flip side to that quote. Put work on the back burner when life demands your attention. I find it far less stressful to do what I want, when I want, rather than have a rigid timetable.

you find ways to combine your personal and professional duties that work for you, instead of being strict and inflexible with your time

What the hell is wrong with that?!

Her take is perfectly reasonable:

“I call it work-life integration. There are times that your life requires a lot more, and there are times that your work requires a lot more. … I don’t think that’s a bad thing.”

Sometimes I pour more into work, sometimes life needs my attention. Sometimes I'm eager to finish working on a work problem, sometimes work can fuck off for a bit. At my last job I'd sleep in in the mornings and work past "close" when fewer people were bugging me.

I find it more stressful to be strict about keeping work and life seperate. Maybe I want to login at night and test some ideas that I wouldn't risk during the day. Many times I've been on a hot streak and don't want to stop at exactly 5PM. Maybe I'm not getting a lick of work done, know I'm being useless and pop out to hike before I run out of sun. If I'm bored shitless, I may run through my email and clear out the crap so there's less staring at me Monday morning.

Did no one read the article? Or have none of you had a professional job with responsibilities? FFS, she's merely saying do what works for you. Point to a single unreasonable thing she's saying here.

tl;dr: I was already working exactly as she talks about and that left me with the least stress, most satisfaction.

Been beat up on here, twice, for suggesting people just roll their own. Took me a couple of hours of carefully following directions, never touched it again, been 6 years. LOL, don't think I can even log into it anymore, key's lost.
