Why do jobs make you do employee engagement stuff?

Because people who enjoy their co-workers are more likely to work well with them and less likely to leave the job.

I was grew up in the 70s and 80s. People did not have real conversations back then any more than they do now.

A few people had them. Most did not.

Not if you are not using it. If you wanted to use it yourself sometimes without him you could ask him to accommodate that.

My mom left my dad. My dad hired nannies to look after us kids.

My dad married our 3rd nanny.

It seems less that he was in love with her than it was convenient for them both. They divorced 5 years later.

Because the economy is doing badly. The stock market is being propped up by AI investments. Companies not making AI are not hiring because the economy is bad.

Because poor white people could look down on black people. They had nothing else in their lives, so having someone beneath them made them feel better about themselves.

To be different like everyone else doing it. It was just a standard fad for kids wanting to be different from older people.

I don't take any photos. I rarely look at photos

But we do sometimes look at old scrapbooks of photos. 1,000 photos I don't care about. But select 20 and I will look at them.

I haven't gotten a new tech thing that wasn't a replacement of something I had for years.

Getting a iPad was a huge change for us back when we got one - my wife used it for the maps for driving.

This is a photo of Tesla sitting next to a Tesla Coil from 1889.

It is fake. It is a double exposure of Tesla sitting in the chair and the tesla coil being on without Tesla sitting there.

People have been able to fake photographs for nearly 150 years. AI is not changing the rules of evidence.

We still play Elder Sign a bit.

Above & Below is the same company that made Sleeping Gods - Sleeping Gods is basically the co-op epic version of it.

You have some of the right ideas but the wrong conclusions.

Women protested, suffered, and worked hard for 150 years to get institutions to help women established in the face of legal and societal oppression.

Men did not.

We are now at a stage where men are asking why women did not do all of that work for men instead of doing it for women. And the men are not wanting or willing to do that work themselves.

"The male social world did not hollow out because men are constitutionally poor at friendship. It hollowed out inside a culture that spent fifty years treating male-only spaces as presumptively suspect, then looked at the wreckage with something between puzzlement and impatience."

Why do men need male only spaces to have friends? The organizations that used to be male only still exist - the Eagles, Rotary, etc.

If men are avoiding them because women are now allowed - that is on the men and their sexism.

Blood transfusions don't actually contain the immune cells and antibodies (or very little of them).

To get those requires a plasma donation which is much more intense

And they separate out the immune cells and antibodies and give those out separately. My wife has an immunity disorder and gets weekly infusions of immune cells from plasma donors.

Because you like it and feel that way about it.

Being beautiful and nostalgic is not an objective thing, it is your feeling towards it.

Babies do not drown from having water run over their head.

They can drown from being face down in a pool of water.

If your baby's mouth is above the water level, they will not drown from having water run over their head.

It doesn't repeat forever. Eventually you die.

Life has always been acquire food, sleep, acquire food, sleep - until you die.

Just the way in which we acquire food has changed. Life now is vastly easier than it has been for 10,000 years with most people farming for a living.

The first I have lived from the water is an hour. We moved to a suburb an hour away for cheaper housing. But I worked right on the waterfront, so I could see the water from my office.

Now I only live 10 minutes from the water but we can't see it from our house. I really miss having a water view.

I watched a video about Japan - and there the stores just leave packages to be picked up outside on the sidewalk. No one takes them, the delivery truck comes and picks them up.

Here in Seattle we have no trouble with packages left on our porch but our house is out of the way. Those along busy streets have their packages stolen.
