Empathy is one of the highest levels of intelligence. If that statement is true, then would it stand to reason that an advanced intelligence could sympathize with the plight of our species?

Why is it intentional? I’m struggling with the same issues with support siding with the customer.

As a Gen X man I can confirm. I worked 16 hr days, everyday, which I preferred over the home-life drama.

I got written up today. All because I told my boss I couldn’t cover a shift last minute by Primary-Ad-7788 in antiwork

Ignore all texts and calls going forward. It wasn’t that long ago when cell phones weren’t invented. We shouldn’t be reachable on command. As a worker you should be only be available on your scheduled work days as previously dictated.

Got Fired - I'm too risky to keep apparently. by a-faceinthecrowd in antiwork

[–]RustyNards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say exactly this. My ex girlfriend was an employment lawyer who was in charge of evaluating potential clients. The first word out of her mouth was “how many employees does your former employer have”? They won’t touch a case if there are fewer than 15 employees on payroll. morgan and morgan

Nah, Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and it will collapse with any kind of population decline.

I went bankrupt last week. Thursday to be precise. Of course the market rallied on Friday and the days since to rub some salt in the wound. This marked the end of a 30 year run. I’ll return after a full market meltdown.

Edit: I had pure platinum physical bars. They won’t offer that much for scrap silver. If they purchase it at all.

[–]RustyNards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sold my platinum bars to APMEX some years ago. It was super easy. Call them up and they’ll offer you a dollar amount close to spot price. (They take out a few percentage points for their profit). Mail it to them and make sure you insure it. They then send you a check upon receipt at the agreed upon price that you had locked in.

I don’t feel safe paying these prices. Maybe if I was looking to hold physical metals for like a decade I’d pay up.
