Welcome to the path my friend. I was extremely Christian, but I was shocked that the church would do that. I mean how dare man edit the word of God at all?! I’m not sure what I believe, but I know the church was corrupted

Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they’ve themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage

HR, the “department of people”, continually working to dehumanize candidates as much as possible.

Can confirm. Did a contract with them. It’s 1000 old school business and engineers who are extremely resistant to change at all. Their agile process was 100% BS that was micromanagement waterfall pretending to be agile. No one should want to work there.

Pretty much any version we know now has taken very liberal translations to change the meanings. Most scholars agree that the translations were not accurate. Then on top of that entire books of the Bible were debated and thrown out, the gospel of Mary magdeline is the most famous. They picked and chose what message they wanted.

Ah you’re starting to see the cracks that finally gave me the distrust to leave the church. The church has thrown out entire books of the Bible because they didn’t agree with the messaging. How can I go to a church to where they literally threw out gospels just because they didn’t like it?

Everyone is all shocked but anyone who has worked in actual IT, development, or computers directly know that the whole system is brittle and ready to fall over at a moments notice. It’s popsicle sticks and glue all the way down. It’s more surprising this is the first major outage like this.

We can try to protect our systems from mistakes like this but at the end of the day, all it takes is one intern somewhere on a project who can fuck everything up. And I don’t mean crowdstrike, but we all know that there are more vendors who have even less QA, who cheaper out on labor and safety for profits. The entire thing is one config file away from collapsing

Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.

Nah, just drop the feeling stupid part. The night I met my wife I had just one drink too many so I had turned off my ability to think I was stupid - and I ended up talking about Lord of the Rings lore. Which she loved. If I had listened to that part of myself I would have held back and thought it was stupid, and my entire life would have gone differently.

oh my god reddit was the worst with this. “Oh my god he had a beer after work? He’s an alcoholic, you can do so much better, DUMP HIM. RED FLAG GET OUT”

So shitty they did that to you. “We overhired”. Like hell you did, how do you accidentally hire someone extra? You mean a spot closed. You didn’t just forget and hire two people for one job.

This is honestly pretty uplifting today, thank you. Perspective is everything

If it was part time there’s no laws about having two part time jobs, or a full time and a part time! 2 full times gets grey which is why I say it, but I don’t believe that’s illegal.

Hell you want to go all in and you know they aren’t scheduling you you can say something like “I know you just want me to go away, I’m not that stupid. You hired me, you aren’t getting rid of me until you acknowledge that.”

Lost the headcount probably, or didn’t have it. They’re hoping you go away quietly.

Don’t do that. Hound them. If you signed paperwork and had training I’m betting you’re employed, and that means they need to formally get rid of you, otherwise they can say you left.

I had a mask on in the grocery store yesterday and got some weird looks. Like people I’m not afraid of getting sick…

I AM sick

This is for you, you morons

This is it. I didn’t hate them because “big tech” like other people here. I loved Google and their stuff. But one by one they killed my favorite things, and they made me hate them.

If you don’t hate Google for killing s service you loved them your just waiting for them to do it.

Hertz left me stranded in Austin TX last time I was there. Rented a car for a week. They let me think I had a car until the morning of my reservation, when it was an hour before pickup to notify me that “sorry we’re cancelling you”. I had no other options, every other place in town was out of cars. Most said I needed a reservation and I had to think to myself how stupid it was.

I spent over 500 in Ubers on that trip going stupidly long distances.

As soon as I was home I dropped my Hertz membership and joined Enterprise. They cost a bit more but I have never been treated that way. Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty are all pretty much the same, so I’ll never use them again.

Shopify has kind of saved the day there, making it easier for individual companies to set up a web presence easily. Personally I like shopping from sites who do that

Still, after all these years?

Always.

Depends on what shade of purple
