People also have survivorship bias with these things. Sure your refrigerator might have lasted forever but quite a few others did not. There is a reason why appliance repair places existed and were much more common than today.

I think that is just HR.

It isn't the deadliest tier of a weapon. Battleships have been obsolete for over 80 years now.

You were supposed to hate Admiral Cain. She was a military dictator and, more important, a mirror to the path Adama considered in the mini-series.

The Pegasus arc was so fucking good.

Why doesn't she sue them for libel and/or slander? Make them prove she has said or done anti-semetic things?

On the anecdotal flip side to this, my 3 year old LOVES Daniel Tiger and gets bored easily if she is watching anything live action. About the only "real people" shows she likes is the occasional Ms Rachel or Odd Squad episode. We even read her Daniel Tiger bedtime stories.

After all these years, I finally figured out what the PPP Loans were an acronym for.

After Anakin's mom was freed she married a moisture farmer and had more kids (or the farmer already had them). So Uncle Owen is either Luke's half-uncle or his step-uncle.

The premise of your argument is so weak, a stiff breeze will knock you out before I raise a hand.

It is not inherently anti-efficiency or anyi-progress. It is pointing out how those things have been corrupted by those in charge. In a more perfect world, Janet and Bob just work less hours due to the software while retaining their pay.

This is an organization with published statements and claims though. Not some random jackanape on Twitter. And anti-semetism has hate crime legislation detailing it and legal precedents. Calling someone an asshole is subjective but anti-semetism has actual objective definitions.

He's off a bit there. They stopped the show with the end of Book 6, right before the time jump for Book 7. So they didn't make the final 3 books into the show. There's hints and foreshadowing for them.

Also the books don't directly correlate with seasons until Season 4.

  • Book 1: Season 1 and first half of Season 2
  • Book 2: Second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3
  • Book 3: Shortened and only the second half of Season 3.
  • Book 4: Season 4
  • Book 5: Season 5
  • Book 6: Season 6 (but only 6 long episodes)

As someone who has done that, it is an uphill battle to get recognized for that work without the proper title. It's mostly recruiters who want easy commissions who won't advocate for you and quite a few HR people will screen you out even if you seem to have the skills just because you don't have that title. I hope you have a better job search than I did after doing that for a company.

I was once at a party a few years ago and, at the time, I think at the time my wife was making around 10k more than me. Some of the people there were her coworkers and their friends, all women. And they knew about me making less because we are always open about our wages.

One of the friends of her coworkers grilled me for like an hour on how I felt about that and all of them pretty much refused to believe me that I was happy with my wife making more money than me. They were mostly just not believing that I wasn't resentful at all, because they had all made more money than their SOs at one point or another and it had always led to fights apparently. I, of course, told them I would love to make more money at my job but it wasn't anything to do with my wife's career or compensation. I also told them she (and all of them) should make more money too.

Shit, I wish my wife made double or triple what I make. She enjoys her job so if she made a lot more doing it, it would be a win-win. My job, I can take or leave, so all I really care about is the pay/benefits. And at the end of the day, our paychecks go into the same accounts (excepting our retirements are separate), so her making more money is just us making more money.

I recognize the bottom two, but not the top one. Those uniforms look like The Orville but I don't recognize that character at all. But I also never watched S3 and it's been since they aired (5 years?) that I watched the first two seasons of that show.

Edit: Looks like I missed the comment saying who the top character is, which is from S3 of The Orville, so I guess I am out of the loop on this one.

You've never come in to a house with wet shoes or clothes? Or spilled a drink? There's a ton of ways for the floor to get wet that isn't "criminally negligent or fucked".
