I’ve been at work for less than an hour and I’ve had to write up two different employees, this blows
about a day ago from web-
@scribus One showed up to work fifteen minutes late yesterday and said “I’m sick and can’t work today” then left. The other one’s been walking around the parking lot asking customers for money, then lied to me when I asked him about it, then kept lying to me when I said I saw him do it.
-
@mrmattimation . . . Wow. First one, I kinda feel bad for, but that other? Yikes.
-
@scribus Well, if they *were* sick... Physically or mentally. I've called out sick from the parking lot because I felt like another 8 hours on the job would end up cut short (across the wrist).

Pretty good argument for term limits in Congress: there’s a disturbing amount of Senators who can now say they were the jurors at two separate impeachment trials.
about 3 days ago from web-
@mrmattimation I do feel such a split over term limits. On the one hand, damn re-election, do your job! On the other, I'd hate to see the effects of the loss of the "elder statesperson." So, I usually feel like limits in certain, very key positions (DEFINITELY president!) are just about mandatory, but in others... I just don't know.
-
@scribus I mean the “elder statespeople” are all working to cover up crimes committed by the White House so do we really need them
-
@mrmattimation These ones? No. But, when it comes to having connections, the ephemeral "I know a guy" moments that get jammed gears turning again, it can still become a high price to pay. I don't have The Answers, but I like to try considering all angles and long-term outcomes. It's why I spend so many decisive moments paralyzed! :D . . . wait, that actually sucks...

i am officially declaring Joe Biden the 2020 underdog on account of how far the media seems to be going to “overcorrect” polling after 2016. Trump has somewhere between an 80 and 100% chance of re-election, if the media is to be believed.

Is there a strategy game out there that basically puts you in the shoes of a politician? Like you have to get support from factions and deal with oppositions and run a government and whatnot? That sounds like something I could play for years

@mrmattimation But seriously? I don't know, but that does sound interesting.

I'm proofreading a master thesis for a friend (non-native English speaker) and there are so many little idiosyncratic mistakes. Several times "treats" is written instead of "threats" or "enchanted" instead of "enhanced".

Damn, Sage and Savant dropped a musical act due to a difference of sociopolitical opinion. It's a decision I agree with, but still - it wasn't a thing I imagine anyone actually wanted. Not naming names, but they do share an initialism with which just amuses the permanent child in me.

@scribus Yep, that's the one I thought you meant, and that there was some other artist called Sage.

Bought a rice cooker. Finally well-cooked rice. Just 20 bucks to solve my rice woes. I hate cooking rice in a regular pot because it is hard to get it right there.

@adiwan Throw a chopped potato and some prawns in with the rice, it's the only Iron Chef recipe I've been able to pick up from the show.

@firestormdangerdash Hmmm....I'm fine with my automatic device. I don't trust high pressure and hot water enough. I already burn myself putting things out of the oven. Steam burns are nastier.

My own personal Mandela Effect is that I thought the N64 was code-named Dolphin, and the Triforce were color-coded RGB. (That was the grapepost I was after, thanks for waiting)

@scribus If this isn't some gag I'm missing, both Triforces were colour-coded green and red in the Zelda cartoon, with all three being RGB by the time of Captain N.

Manga I recommend: "Komi Can't Communicate". Funny, relatable, wholesome, and contains very few "WTF Japan" moments. Shoko Komi, the protagonist, has crippling social anxiety speaking or expressing herself. https://i.imgur.com/tE0sNBT.png

@oracle butt.setStatus(true);
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@oracle This is a property (C#). So it is just a fancier way to make the same as void isEnabled(bool setValue) and bool isEnabled() but without the parenthesis.

@adiwan C# is honestly the best Java-like ever and this is one example why.
