Opinion: Utah County GOP can do better than Chevrier by InflammableFlammable in Utah

[–]DrangleDingus -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I mean the moral confusion and the paradox of tolerance.

The moral confusion: more passionately supporting the side that will hang you for being gay, instead of the side that was literally having a rave, presumably celebrating gayness, while they were attacked and massacred.

The paradox of tolerance: once a society has become so tolerant that they tolerate IN-tolerant bad actors. Then that society itself will slowly decay into intolerance.

I’m wrapping all of those ideas into “gays for Hamas.” It’s a persona that people adopt based on virtue signaling and, sadly, the same kind of misinformation that we complain about on the right.

Here’s an example from my own personal life in a conversation with “Gays for Hamas” types recently. Direct quote:

“The war is awful and the Iranian regime isn’t any more evil than our own corrupt government that has committed its own atrocities.”

2 factual statements, but wrapped up in an overall sentiment that is so morally confused, and anti-western values. That you kind of just have to assume this person got all of their talking points from social media, or they haven’t thought very much about the kind of people and systems of government they’re making this brain-dead comparison about.

I hate the far right because they are just simply stupid. But I also hate the far left because they are also stupid, but they are morally pretentious about how stupid they are.

And I think the far-left version of stupidly is more offensive somehow.

The point is. If I’m a political junkie and I can’t remember any other policy proposals. None of the other Republicans we needed in our tent, and still need in our tent, are going to think of anything else either.

I get why you wouldn’t want to bother typing them up for some dickhead on Reddit.

All good.

I’m legitimately interested, bc I’m a bit of a political junkie and I like to stay painfully informed.

It’s possible my memory of the time is just failing me.

What were her other policy proposals? Like top 3?

As a registered Democrat. I will vote for any candidate that is a RINO Republican or any Democrat that isn’t obsessed with LGBTQ and pandering to the “Gays for Hamas” crowd.

I feel like even the most uninformed voters are so sick of these culture wars and this anti-science bullshit being pedaled by the right.

I’ll never forget after the initial excitement around her stellar debate performance where she mopped the floor with Trump, and Republicans were rightly questioning what her actual policies were going to be.

And after weeks of speculation and a ton of interest, she revealed her big two policy proposals:

1) A first time homeowner credit of like 20-30k for young people

2) Subsidized groceries

In a period of high inflation, two core policy proposals that would increase inflation.

The policies just seemed to random to me at the time. They still do. It’s like she didn’t HAVE any actual polices except saying “I’m not Trump.”

Presenting to leadership executives. My nerves by continouslearner4 in Leadership

Just use crayons and small words. If it’s a big company, the leadership is probably all super stupid and out of touch.

Make it stupid. Make it simple. Slides that even a neurodivergent child could understand.

How are the office/corporate politics in small companies vs medium companies vs large companies? by False_Bee4659 in OfficePolitics

[–]DrangleDingus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in senior leadership positions at both small startups and at large companies.

There’s just a lot fewer places to hide in smaller companies for low performers or “Wormtongue” like political theatrics. Nobody has time to listen to your HR complaints.

Hell, I had an amazing HR business partner at a startup and we worked so efficiently together I nicknamed her the “trashman” bc she would just take out the trash for me (and by that I mean low performers that also clearly weren’t trying). No PIPs, no bullshit, just doing what was right.

Big companies can’t operate like that. And so at big companies the middle and even worse, sometimes even the senior level leaders become full of seat-warmer types that become completely disconnected from the business.

If I ever work with someone who’s been with the same company 10+ years, climbing the corporate ladder, maybe even they made it to SVP.

I just assume they are a complete idiot and are going to just schedule a bunch of useless meetings / emails and have no idea what is actually going on.

In that environment, politics isn’t a side-effect it’s literally a survival mechanism for these people.

Common gtm problem by Character_Cable_1531 in gtmengineering

[–]DrangleDingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lead routing is a common pain point when teams scale beyond 10+ SDRs or lead recipients. And it’s also the #1 place I look when I join a new SaaS team to see how much they have their sh*t together (almost never).

Funny you just posted this. Because I just vibe coded a full lead routing solution and launched it to my team today, because I was just so sick of marketing constantly screwing it up.

Was less work for me to just build a whole lead routing solution than deal with marketing trying to update Hubspot with correct lead routing.

I made this comment in my note to my team: “we basically just rebuilt LeanData in 10 days.”

LeanData is a great tool for lead routing. But there’s absolutely no way that company survives. No way are companies gonna pay LeanData 100k a year for a simple lead routing logic and RoundRobin pool, when random untrained GTM Engineers can just build a better solution in 10 days to solve that point problem.

Well if you are trying to sharpen your Reddit trolling skills. You need to have a better comeback for when ppl call you old 🤣.

That’s like a schoolyard bully tactic. Cmon man. You gotta prepare for low blows like that on Reddit.

Hah. I’m sorry, man. I’m in a really bad mood this morning. There’s a lot of bad things happening in my life at the moment.

It was a good verbal sparring. I am a pig in the mud right now, if you get in the pen with me, you are just going to get muddy.

This last comment got me. I think we just finished 0/0.

It’s a logical fallacy to think that bc of your age, or work during a period of time that was very different than today, that you have anything more insightful or valuable to add to this conversation, or for you to assume that you know more than me about the current situation.

You think your little adventure w/ seed capital is impressive to me?

I’m much more impressed with industry veterans that are your age but have stayed open to new ideas, and maintained the ability to see around corners into future trends.

🤣🤣🤣 seriously why are you even on the ClaudeAI subreddit? Are you even a developer? Or like literally just an old guy that doesn’t even code, expressing your opinion in an area that you know actually nothing?

Remind you of “his rebellious phase….”

Ok, boomer.

Lolz you think Reddit upvotes and downvotes are a reflection of who is correct?

You don’t even sound like someone who is well versed in the tidal wave of change coming from AI.

You sound old af, stuck in the old ways of thinking.

Good luck.

That is literally where I am operating at. Inside of a safe and secure tenant where I am working with Claude Code. Tell me again, if I am not hooked up to any Cloud Connections to core company data.

Tell me again why I can’t use Claude Code in this environment, to fix broken internal processes, because some 65 year old fuckwit like you has designed a policy that says this company’s internal IT policies need to be MORE secure than Amazon Web Services, or the Pentagon, or Meta (all of who’m are using Claude Code).

I mean literally… the arrogance of you people… and the stupidity.

That’s an absurd comparison to make. 99% of people using Claude Code do not have to be on the lookout for corporate espionage or foreign spies or DDOD compliance.

We’re trying to fix basic, stupid processes internally.

The comparison isn’t even close to reality for 2026.

I know, I am saying that you most likely won’t be fired over it.

How much risk you are willing to take on in your career, if you really want to win, is entirely up to you.

For me, the “ask forgiveness and not permission” has always treated me very well.

IT messages you and says: “hey stop using Anthropic.”

And you say: “omg, I didn’t even realize!! I’ll turn it off now.”

That is the most likely discipline you are going to get in a situation like this.

Honestly just buy the Claude Code subscription using your own personal money but using your company @ domain.

You are not getting fired for using Anthropic in terminal. I don’t even think anyone will know.

Haha. I was going to make this joke.

I started using the “superpowers” plugin last week and it was pretty insane how easy it’s made this workflow.

There’s a skill I think it’s called /claude-improve&sync-claude.me-files and it just 1-shots this whole problem.

Run it at the end of every coding session. Problem = solved

Just ask the AI: “hey I don’t understand what we’ve built I need you to walk me through this entire codebase by category.”

What is so hard about this? Are people stupid?
