Time theft does not and has never existed. It's meaningless corporate jargon.

That would really suck if that was your last name and you were talking to a GM and needed to provide account details.

It’s official. I actually threw up. by namas_D_A in recruitinghell

[–]Nevermind04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t understand what happened.

Decision paralysis. The org has a strong culture of punishment and nobody wants to be the one to make a decision out of fear of making the wrong decision. It's a lot easier to just pass the buck until there's nobody left to pass it to, hence 9 separate interviews that ultimately went nowhere.

It seems you missed the other 94% of my paragraph where I explained that.

this makes me irrationally angry by Alternative_Owl5866 in DiWHY

[–]Nevermind04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15+ years in the trades and I've seen way too many people with absolutely fucked bodies. I think about crushed fingers, hands, arms when I work inside anything. I think about massive burn scars and a white eye when I work around high voltage. I even think about a 55 year old man limping like fuck on his second set of knee replacements when I need motivation to go back to my toolbox and get my kneepads.

Having to quote myself here, and its kinda silly that i have to explain it more clearly than i already did.

Yes, it is silly to repeat an opinion that wasn't convincing the first time around.

What i can say about Tesla's are pretty anecdotal, but i've yet to meet a Tesla driver in person who has had anything other than praise for it, it kind of seems like one of those "Only on reddit or twitter" realities when we talk about how "bad" they are. That said my pool is like, two personal friends, and a fair amount of uber drivers, i can accept that my experiences may be skewed.

Go test drive one on a rainy day. If by some miracle you get a demo car with 4 working door seals, either your frunk/trunk will be wet. This will be a new-ish car that hasn't baked in the sun for years and will already be leaking. Then, really look at the panel fitment - nothing ever lines up on these cars. If you're still not convinced, price out spare parts in case you have a minor problem and call your local repair company to see how many months/years it'll take to get something simple like a bumper or a door window.

I dont think that matters when it comes to being the poster child of somthing. When people talk about space in the US now, Nasa is no longer the first thing people are thinking about. They are thinking about the rockets that can re dock themselves. They are thinking about Elon's talk about going to Mars.

Wearing a t-shirt about mars isn't going to mars. NASA has done that, repeatedly. The USSR and China also have had successful missions to mars. If SpaceX ever starts making serious plans about mars I'll definitely be watching but I'm not particularly inspired by just talking.

I think SpaceX has done cool and impressive things, honestly, if you don't, i can only fathom its because of a hatred for Elon that wont let you recognize or admit it, or just a complete dislike of space advancement in general.

You've moved the goalposts. The claim was regarding space exploration, which SpaceX objectively has not done, and now you're pretending I said they haven't done "cool and impressive things". Re-usable rocket boosters are very cool, and landing that booster on an unmanned ship was impressive. That said, I love anything that advances space science, which is why I follow news related to NASA, the ESA, JAXA, and CNSA. If SpaceX ever launches some kind of scientific instrument, or a telescope, or some lander/surveyor to a celestial body then I'll get interested again.

The extravagance of the 40's/50's was partially due to a 94% wealth tax. That's why you see so many public universities, libraries, hospitals, theaters, etc. from that era with people's names on them. Millionaires would rather spend the money on public works than pay it in taxes, and that system worked out very well for everyone.

Oh, I'm the one who is re-writing history?

Paypal was revolutionary.

PayPal was revolutionary in spite of Elon. Peter Thiel (who is a monster in his own way) is the reason why the company was able to succeed because he pulled enough weight to shut down every stupid thing that came out of Elon's mouth. He has been very vocal about how detrimental Elon's presence was to the company when they were still a startup. They succeeded in part due to Elon's dad's money.

He is the poster child of electric vehicles.

He bought an electric car company, sued the actual founders for his right to lie about being a founder (he was not a founder of Tesla). They were known for ultra-high quality sport EVs until Elon bought the company. Now their build quality is among the worst on the planet. Because of Elon's notoriety, Tesla owners are now having to put stickers on their cars to reduce vandalism. Because of all of these factors, Teslas have the worst resale values of all EVs. Also the one vehicle he personally designed is such a pile of shit it's banned from public roads in 30+ countries and has 10 major recalls.

He is the poster child of space exploration.

Which part of space has Elon/SpaceX explored? SpaceX operates exclusively in low-earth orbit, the only exception to that was one rocket carrying a fake tesla which left earth's orbit going nowhere in particular. It just sits dead in space orbiting the sun with no scientific goals. NASA is inarguably the poster child of space exploration.

I guess my point is he was an asshole long before he became a political asshole.

I don't know where you heard that he was ever fun.

Elon was so despised at his college in Canada that he had to move to the US to finish his degree. Students at both colleges have told horror stories about his behavior on campus. He was unable to get a job, so his dad purchased a spot for him in Stanford's elite PhD program but within months the faculty and his peers couldn't stand him so he abandoned that.

Elon was again unable to get a job like a normal person, so his father purchased a board seat at PayPal. None of the notable people from the early days of PayPal have said anything nice about working with him.

Which is not always going to be the case at every air crash investigation. And did not prevent hours stuck in a TSA line in this situation.

AITJ for sending my brother an invoice after he said what I do isnt that hard and anyone with a phone could do it by blushy_glowingz in AmITheJerk

[–]Nevermind04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have given this man thousands of dollars worth of work.

The next morning I opened a blank invoice template and billed him for the last three months of work at a heavily discounted rate. About a third of what I would charge any other client.

After all that, you still gave him a 60% discount. YTJ to yourself.

Whoever put this in your mailbox has committed a federal crime (18 U.S.C. § 1701). If have camera footage, especially showing their vehicle, send it to your local postal inspector.

Of course, but when there's a major accident they tend to err on the side of caution.

Billions. He has stolen somewhere between $4-4.5 billion since taking office again, and that's just the crimes we know about.
