In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn't his personality.

I'll be weird and say I absolutely prefer working in-office over from home in most cases. I prefer being able to build relationships with my coworkers, ask quick questions and give quick answers, and just actually being able to talk to people.

However, I don't think everyone needs to be in the office. My line of work requires it but I think it's dumb that companies are requiring them to go in when there's no reason beyond "we rent the space so we have to use it."

Also you're correct in how the headlines changed and it's really dumb, but it's mostly about the fact that real estate owners are trying to force people to rent their spaces instead of selling them.

Every time I call one of my higher ups at work he'll say something dumb like "Dominos pizza how can I help you" or "This is the product owner help line, no we can't change your due dates".

I generally get a chuckle out of it.

Last time he called me his therapist.

Yup. Buy CDs, vinyl or digital from Bandcamp or from the artist direct and then host it on Plex.

I've thought about trying jellyfin but Plexamp is just so nice that I don't think I could leave it.

Tim Curry gives his all regardless of the role.

They shoulda brought a gun

I would hope that's the case, however the company is one that contracts to other organizations and my dad's former position was one of their biggest clients (I was on a different program). He was saying that their turnover rate is going up because they wouldn't give raises to hardly any of their employees. That and now they're being laid off due to the main contract losing funding, but that's just bureaucratic junk.

I guess it's not quite that level of "fuck this shit I'm out" but I realized that I was doing a significant amount of work that would be outside the description of a junior software engineer. I chatted with my boss and asked for a raise, he went to HR and they said no, so I asked for a promotion and he took it all the way to the VP and they still said no. After that I said "well they must not care about me but this other company is offering a 20k raise so I'm out."

It did suck because my boss was still probably the best manager I've ever had who gave me everything he could to help me succeed but they refused to give me a raise. I don't miss the work but I for sure miss that team.

It would be great, but think about it for a second. Russian bots and trolls that are operated by the government will still exist, it's not like they would cease trying to spread misinformation or destabilizing opinions. So that won't change at all. This would primarily affect the people in the country who would now be unable to see real news or learn things the government doesn't want them to.

I'm all for giving Russia the finger, but I do fear that it won't actually make anything better for the rest of us and would just make the people worse off.

Where I work has a local instance of GitLab that is completely off the grid from the internet. In addition, we have things like Atlassian tools and some other various things with offline licenses.

Every day, we hop in a big channel to ask "okay what's down today?" "Can't edit Confluence" "Great, not like I needed to do all of my documentation today."

Best one lately is "someone revoked all permissions on Confluence and they don't have a backup so we have to manually add all 1400 of you." I got given admin perms though, so that's nice.

One potential problem could be that if someone was dumb enough, they could write a script to automatically check for everyone who downvotes their comments and then automatically downvote all of theirs in return. Could also run into an issue where if you downvote something political, someone could then bring that up and say "remember that time you downvoted this comment about " and it might discredit you.

It's a double edged sword. I personally don't care, but some people might.

Good bot
