Fuck it, I’m saying it, I’m less productive when I work from home. I get to fuck off easier and I do genuinely miss in person collaboration on complex problems.

That said, I’m probably never going to work another job that is more than 2 day hybrid. If every company in the world decided they would go back to 100% in person, I’d have to go back to working harder but as long as some companies care a tiny bit about the wellbeing of their workers, there will be this continuous push/pull of most companies wanting to squeeze every ounce of juice out of every worker.

Tech is a weird industry tho. There are some companies that just rely on churn and burn through employees (cough cough spacex cough cough amazon cough cough). I’m lucky to have ended up in a specific sector where there is a lot of attrition due to frustration so they kind of just deal with the fact that they aren’t gonna get 100% out of everyone.

All that is to say is that there are some interesting dynamics at play and I’ll hold the line, but there is a grain of truth in there but fuck capitalism, not everything has to be done as efficiently and as profitable as possible. Let people just live and work and chill

I mean, Jury’s can be forced to do their part so I guess I’m not too surprised that the other parts of the court system can have a compulsory component

BTW, going to a trans positive therapist to talk about gender and asking a school to used personal pronouns can both be considered gender affirming care (I’m a foster parent, so have seen this stupidness firsthand). So yeah, I count my blessings every time they try to ban the fictional stuff

Lowkey wonder if that could be challenged

They’ve already started the talking point that they swing too left and that’s why they lost

Dude, if you’ve been using your last one for 12 years then you really really don’t care about any of these stats/benchmarks

[edit] I retract my comment

How is her getting this endorsement over Trump stunning? It’s a no-fucking-shit development

Unless you want people to like you!

Is there any law in any state that would allow you to kill a 3rd party to escape being killed yourself? (If there were, I’d probably opt for not living in that state)
