Strawmanning because they won’t or can’t understand your argument, mistaking the map for the place usually because of equivocating on vaguely understood or multiple definitions, non-sequetor this is where someone just yaps for awhile based on the crap that falls out of their head based on the words they heard but didn’t get the point and is barely tracking

Voyager, used to use & prefer Sync but it didn’t keep up with instance upgrades

1947 marked a major turning point for workers rights in the US when they outlawed solidarity between unions

The US and France currently both have around 10% union workforce, France is a million times more effective at striking because unions strike together & nonunion workers don’t cross strike lines, coordinated and targeted.

Midwest US at a large nonprofit with ~10% union workers, ~7 hours PTO accrued per 2 week pay period adds up to just over 184 hours or 23 days, and another 14 holidays. PTO accrued was tiny until 5 years seniority, currently at 13 years and I think it caps at 8@20.

I usually take off as much as I can, about a month per year spread out by 1-2 week stretches for a vacation or just to take care of personal work or projects, moves, family stuff, etc.

Depends on the circumstances. If I’m walking on a street or neighborhood someone told me they got mugged on I’ll be way more aware and observant than otherwise. Same if I’m walking in nature it’s good to look behind regularly to be familiar with how the trail looks both ways so you don’t get turned around on the way back or if there are large predators in the area. If I’m walking around my neighborhood I’ll be much more selective about when I’m more observant because I know where the poorly lit areas and blind corners are, and more so at 2am than 2pm.

I can tell the time at night, most of human history needed the sun to have any chance at accuracy

The rifftrax version is great to break up the slower parts with jokes, but this is definitely up there when I think of mid 20th century b movie sci-fi along with Them! And The Blob

Do what you think is right, but spend some time considering if it’s right or not first.

Recognizing when you’re not considering and just going by intuition or emotional response would probably already put you ahead of most of us.

Empathy seems to be necessary (but I’m not sure if sufficient) for logical moral consideration because you cannot justify your position if you purposefully ignore another’s, and considering someone else’s perspective without prejudice is empathy.

It would be a real shame if someone helped it along to a rapid, unplanned, disassembly.

My state has 10 million people and made over $300 million in tax last year distributed around $100 million each divided between roads, schools, and local municipalities/community organizations.

Referring to people, staff as resources. Nice and dehumanizing.

Same had a little acer mini laptop in early 2000s I used it for notes, office apps, etc during college and between the battery life and how much more portable it was than the giant laptop I had at the time it was great, it ran BSD without any fuss too.
