That’s how a lot of venture capital places operate when they buy anything. I’m pretty sure that’s what red lobster is doing. It happened to an MSP I used to work at (about two thirds of our clients were hospitals or clinics, for whatever that’s worth). Doing it with a hospital system is just extra especially vile rather than the normal amount of vile.
Texan is right there in the title. Probably not a voter.
That person is an apprentice.
I would guess that most Americans have zero opinion on it at all. Money supports it.
You’re not wrong, and I know that I personally need to be more careful in making sure I’m calling out the hypocrisy of it. I’m going to make an effort to be explicit in what I’m calling out.
It’s hypocrisy shaming. These are the people trying to get porn banned.
We may have been friends. I was that guy that did that thing that one time.
None of who appear to be theirs.
I left as ET2 and 90% of my time was at prototype in Ballston Spa as an instructor. I went on one short tour and we saw the Persian Gulf.
Y’all still got a gator that hangs out down there? Are the students still headed to that shitty dive bar that didn’t used to check IDs? I’m genuinely curious because I haven’t been there in over 20 years, but I heard the shitty dive actually checks IDs now.
Pop a Poppler in your mouth,
When you come to Fishy Joe’s.
What they’re made of is a mystery,
Where they come from, no one knows.
You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,
You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,
And if you promise not to sue us,
You can shove one up your nose.
In my youth I’d seek out the worst of the worst, back when the Internet was still mostly the wild west. One day I just stopped. Now it makes me sick.
I’m not sure what switch flipped in me. 3 guys, 1 hammer used to bother me a bit, that video of the kid being crushed by the elevator got to me, and there were a few others. But most things just didn’t register. Now I don’t have any desire to see anything worse than a Saw movie and that’s because I know no one was actually hurt.
I will say that in my very young life I was in a terrible situation, and even after that I lived in a less than ideal situation (my adoptive parents are great people, just uneducated and didn’t have the time or resources to get me the help I needed). I was very much a product of my environment for many years. I was angry and just wanted to see people hurt because I was hurt. That was probably a huge part of it. One day that just stopped.
So I’ll second this call for therapy. You don’t have to be this way. I can only speak for myself but I hated being that way. I’m glad I’m not coming up through puberty or my 20s now because there’s no telling what the hell I would have gotten up to.
Until they can jail the whole board and the C-suite, corporations aren’t people.
I live and die by my calendar. I still have the yellow version (Simple Calendar) and it works pretty great.
If the owner doesn’t enthusiastically want me there then I’m happy to slide in somewhere I’m welcome. I’ll never force my way in (unless they’re into that sort of thing).
I like to just slide in, get what I need, then slip on out. Sometimes I’ll even use the back door.
Not much to add except I have the exact same issue. Once in a while I can piece together what someone is saying but I just prefer to say I’ve been to too many concerts and can’t hear for shit.
Thank you for the detailed and nuanced explanation. I feel much better informed now.
Isn’t that just nationalism?
Asking the real questions here. I’ve got a ninja and I’m pretty sure there’s no way I could puree bones.
