No faith in corporate HR, but concrete knowlege of how payroll works. No company is your friend, they are there to make as much money off of you as possible. Internal meetings are not external interviews, if you were hired to do a job interviewing for a positons and you went through 50-60 people a day with no results, they would replace you.

Intentionally misleading

I doubt he’s using company time if he does 50-60 interviews daily and doesn’t hire anyone. No company would pay you to do that.

Its also not passive if you’re working for it lmao

Just careful of their political videos, cause they are often poorly reasoned neoliberal propaganda, albiet with excellent production value.

Of course! Not just as a saftey thing, but interacting with people not as a possible extension of my own life so to speak really changed my outlook.

It may seems kinda obvious on the surface, but so much of our lifes (at least in my experience) we’re trained to always be looking at people as potential partners and when you do that as a default its almost viewing people through a lens of “what can they do for me” and if they are the puzzle piece you’re looking for. When that happens you don’t really engage with people on a deeper level since you’re not approaching them as complex, complete, independant lifes outside of your own, but rather as a “character in your story”. And when society trains us to be that way it happens subconciously, even when you may not realize it.

It took time, but deprogramming that part of myself has helped me connect with people on so much of a more personal and respectful level. And in turn being able to do that made me someone more worth being around. Which eventually that did lead to my current long term relationship funny enough, and we plan to get married. Though we were friends for around 3 years before we started dating, and that has helped in its own way. Your partner should be your best friend after all, they’re the teammate you choose. So being someone worth being friends with helps a lot.

Also ehat conservatism always is. Conservatism is universal, because its the fear of change and the desperate want to maintain control, which is always a losing enterprise. So they need to escalate violence and power grabs as it starts falling through their fingers faster and faster, and always ends in authoritarianism and eventually fascism once violent citizen militias are given state say and funding.

Wtf is this meme border?

Reminds me of this thing I found in a bar years ago

I actively did not pursue relationships for about 7 years after a bad relationship to focus on myself and figure out who I was. One of the best decisions I ever made. Was definetley lonely at times, but you really learn to appreciate yourself and your own company, which many people never manage to do. Some people can never be alone. And it was important to learn to have relationships with people as people first and not as potential partners as default.

Huh TIL. I searched just to confirm and its listed even on wikipedia itself. Thanks for claifying.

Nah, I knew it was a joke attempt, but it wasn’t apparent enough in its setup so I decided to argue anyway.

Not at forst, but when that hedge is step-overable I would

I’ve never seen em dahses outside of an academic paper, so saying people use them liberaly is an olypmic level stretch.

Also that comment was clearly written by ai itself.

Thats kinda shitty its a cross. Like holding one religion above the others on a fucking encyclopedia.

My first thought is that its a fancy dueche, so yeah Gwyneth Paltrow seems right.

Can’t help but think if the light really just turned green, or if OP just noticed it was green and assumed it just changed but had been green for a while.

Center left in american politics is definitley not what is needed. That’s like using a teenage mutant ninja turtle bandaid and thinking thats better for curing cancer than a normal bandaid.

30 is as great a time to start as any

Workers need to, not the politicians that made this happen.
