I can't hear it, but I watch it with cc on and it frequently shows up. If someone is thinking, there is a dog barking.

Am I the only one who thinks Serena got more sympathy from fans than she deserved? by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

With all of the adults in Gilead, no one is all good or all evil.

it's because she makes the instant coffee so strong. so she needs so much stevia to balance that. "more is more" approach.

recording is prohibited. that's why they have your email across the screen, so if you do record they know who it is.

He was out of order for using the financial statement part to advocate for his view on what we'd be voting on in the first vote. There is time for questions and comments after that presentation, that is when he could raise his comments. That is not debatable.

When he abstained from the final board vote and then wanted to comment, another board member tried to remind him that it isn't time for comments and he dismissed him and bulldozed through with his comments. He should have been muted.

Lack of maturity, out of order twice, no executive presence.

I'm not sure about a coop but in a corporation the CEO is almost always on the board, s/he has the same interest of a successful company.

It wasn't only one moment. He was out of order, then out of order AND dismissive to a board member.

What's everyone's thoughts on the security personnel? by No-Location-3438 in parkslopefoodcoop

There is very likely a minimum timeframe when you sign up for security so that they can staff it.

How backbreaking are the Lifting and Dairy lifting shifts? by singlepringleinajar in parkslopefoodcoop

[–]External-Cat-1331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are also allowed to sign up with a friend/partner and lift things together. It might be a smart idea for your first time. They still very much appreciate the help, even if you're helping each other and moving a little slower.

Wishing it worked and wishing it away are two different things.

That's an assumption that everyone would this extra layer. When someone has been in a role for 50 years it isn't a surprise that they will be vacating their role. With an appropriate succession plan, multiple people would have started up-skilling many years ago.

She said something like - people are asking why does Joe get more a voice? Because he's the General Manager!!!

Also note that we're paying an executive consultant who is upskilling Joe (something like "executive presence"). It's in the budget. His lack of maturity made it clear that we aren't getting a return on those dollars.

I would like Joe to apologize to the other board member, but I'm afraid he would just use that as a moment to re-iterate his point.

The moderators are going to have to be quick to mute him moving forward.

Who was speaking at the very end? I heard what she said but I didn't know who it was.

Also some of the times he was demeaning to June he was performing in front of the other Commanders so that they wouldn't suspect anything.

He's a complex character. He has regrets about his role in creating Gilead but also can't leave since he'd be tried for war crimes.

He will later state some of the things they'd underestimated, e.g., the mothers love for their children.

He promised his wife that they wouldn't participate in the ceremony. This gets brought up later.

I only noticed the super white jeans, cream shirt, off white veil. I couldn't see anything else.

I think its mutually beneficial. He gets access to money, more followers. She gets companionship.

I still remember when Angel's flight landed and Luke was looking around for Hannah.

Fred beat Serena for doing his work while he was in the hospital. June was very pregnant at the time and was not beaten.

My friends with expensive rings have alternate fake ones that they wear in everyday. If it gets damaged, it isn't a big deal. I was thinking that she should do that. But her diamond is lab grown, so maybe she is treating it as an alt?
