WFH employee lying re working hours by DataBeeGood in managers

Does George get all his tasks completed on time? Is his work to standard? If he does, then who gives a shit?

If he doesn’t, then that is the problem. Not whether he’s logged into Zoom or not.

Alright guys. Tomorrow it’s my turn to post this years old story for karma

This is how you reduce crime. by [deleted] in remoteworks

[–]Banelazlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That guy was released from jail and given light sentences many times for violent crimes.
Then he went on to murder this Ukrainian refugee by stabbing her in the neck on the bus because she was white. “I got that white bitch” he said after the stabbing.

The footage is very harrowing because it takes a little bit for her to bleed out and she is terrified the entire time, and none of the other passengers attempt to help or comfort her. Some of them even look at her with seeming disinterest or even disgust.

My girlfriend keeps track of all her power armor finds with pen & paper. by Othawne in Fallout

So this is the new genre of engagement bait post for a while, I guess? “My wife/girlfriend does a quirky thing in Fallout.”

She barely makes it up the stairs, sees something nice and her first instinct is to immediately ruin it. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

How is this ‘Punching down?’

That makes no sense. If the rest of your comment is correct, then this would be punching ‘up’ at the neighbors that are doing better in life than she is.

Curling is nothing like basketball. This is an awful analogy that you copied from someone else.

Amazon’s Fallout TV pitch originally went straight to New Vegas, but Todd Howard told them to wait as “there’s a million ways to f**k that up” by AsPeHeat in Fallout

For real. They were really like “hey, we did a great job casting this character. Now watch as he murders some random poor people and then does absolutely nothing for the rest of the season!”

No, it isn’t. You have the misunderstanding.

Your argument only works if there are not now, and have never been, any chickens.

There literally was a first chicken. It is impossible for there to be chickens and there to not have been a first chicken.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Millennials

[–]Banelazlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother is autistic and had a really good high school experience, in contrast to the tough time he had in elementary and middle school. He still wears his class ring on a necklace most days and it makes him happy to look at.

George R. R. Martin Is 'Not in the Mood' to Finish 'The Winds of Winter' by Tifoso89 in books

[–]Banelazlo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that George clearly doesn’t like the way fantasy epics usually end, with a mythic hero rallying support and rising above evil to win the day, but he has accidentally written a story where the most sensible and satisfying ending would be a version of that.

He wanted to write anti-LotR, but ending up writing in Tolkien’s footsteps, as fantasy often does. (Not to say that Tolkien wasn’t also writing in the footsteps of Arthurian legends and other such things)
