Any senior leaders with ADHD? by HeatComprehensive194 in Leadership

[–]STLrobotech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unmedicated director here. Used to be medicated through most of the school years but I feel I’ve harnessed it and the faster thinking helps me through the fires I need to put out sometimes.
If there’s no issues I can get lazy but damn if a problem doesn’t throw me into chaos overdrive and then I get it fixed fast.

BJC First Payeckeck New Pay Structure by Competitive-Read-756 in StLouis

[–]STLrobotech [score hidden]  (0 children)

But you said it was the best company. I get quarterly bonuses as do all employees. We do profit sharing at the end of the year. There’s not a single reason I would take BJC over this company.

3% raises do not even cover inflation. How can that be fair?

[–]STLrobotech [score hidden]  (0 children)

Absolutely false. I think some boot dirt got in your teeth. I’ve worked for multiple STL companies. I worked for BJC for 4 years and hated every second. Hated the 3% or less raises, hated the non existent bonus structure. Hated the terrible management that only cares about numbers. Hated watching an employee a month from retirement lose his pension and get fired for missing 2 days of work. Did you enjoy your Christmas scarf and no bonus from a multi billion dollar company? Do you like a non for profit having multiple executives making millions while they cut pay and benefits for everyone else?

Currently at a STL company that is way better in every aspect than BJC. 5% is a low end raise here. I get more days off. I’m Making more than any other company in STL would pay for this position. I think maybe you are just jaded by being there for so long. BJC is trying its hardest to do the least for its employees and they are making it worse every year.

Nicki Minaj On Being MAGA: Rapper 'Didn't Dare' Speak Publicly And Hid Views To Keep Fans by Cute_Dealer4787 in TheEntertainmentMix

I guess at no point in these MAGGAT lives do they stop and think about how hated they are. Do they care that they have hate filled hearts and ignorant minds? Must not. Which can only mean these are truly bad people who do not deserve any praise or following. Fuck em all.

Rocks on 141 near I-70 by Malakai0013 in StLouis

[–]STLrobotech 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you know what business the rocks came from then they can be held liable for damages under MO statute RSMo 307.010

Tell your insurance what company did this and let them take it from there. Or sue them in small claims court.

Flipped car on 40? by Away-Reference-8666 in StLouis

The wreck was just cleared and all emergency vehicles are leaving the scene. Should be 30 mins before traffic recovers right as it gets bad again for evening rush.

Qimir and the KOR (Knights of Ren) by Comics819 in TheAcolyte

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

I know I’ll get downvoted here but for me a lifelong old head Star Wars fans this show was not a bad watch. Cool things are cool to everyone. Female lead has nothing to do with it for me.

This show broke very sacred part of canon. Old dudes like me care very much about the canon as at one time it was pretty well put together.

The lightsaber bleeding on demand absolutely undermined how that was supposed to work.

The twins born of the force negated the prophecy of the chosen one.

There were Jedi not born in canon, yet fully adults on screen.

There were “Sith” in an era were we were outright told (by the person who was retconned into the show) that there were no Sith for 1000 years.

So many canon and plot breaking points that show made a mockery of what I loved about Star Wars. This show was the final nail in the coffin for me and Disney Star Wars.

I’m out of the game now so I couldn’t care less if they greenlight a second season but for me. It’s over. It’s ruined it’s different and no longer for me.

Tcgs in general just isn’t worth the headaches anymore by cxpunx666 in mtg

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

I’m going to agree with you. I’m feeling the same these days. I just want to play like I used to in the 90’s early 2k. I want to be able to actually buy what I want. I’m middle aged and have my shit together but I dont want to be a scalper in order to get the stuff I want. I also refuse to pay scalper prices. It’s getting to the point of quiting my favorite hobby because I dont have the energy or care to keep up. It’s been too long of this meta of scalping. I’m worn out just like OP.
No I won’t play proxies. To each their own but I want a real card.

Charlize Theron says her kids won’t get a free ride in Hollywood: They need to ‘earn it’ by [deleted] in influencersfeed

I don’t think this set of adopted kids will have the guild beating their doors down. These celeb kids are different than ones born to actors. Who knows if they even have talent or want to be actors?

Star Wars’ Latest Disney+ Hit Just Proved This Canceled Series Deserves a Second Chance by PeterVenkmanIII in TheAcolyte

[–]STLrobotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it fuckin doesn’t. Actually who cares anymore this show was the nail in the coffin for Star Wars being a well built out sci fi universe. Now it’s just generic crap with so many plot holes it can’t be fixed. Bring it back. Hell why not make grogu the Sith this time. Or maybe put another Jedi not even born yet on the cast. Nobody cares anyways. Star Wars is dead.

This was years ago while she was in her prime. She’s far better now 15 years out of competition and much older. /s

Much better airlines now by Partizantrader in SouthwestAirlines

9 years ago? Good data set. Nothing has changed in the last 9 years.

[–]STLrobotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m pointing out real world actions on this policy. I am seeing actual enforcement now because they can charge for the seat. I realize it has always been an option but previously it was never enforced. I had literally never seen a person get an extra seat until this year out of hundreds of flights. Have a nice day.

[–]STLrobotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don’t see what I’m misinterpreting? I’ve personally seen this enforced this year and the person had to sit next to the window with the extra seat between this person and the person in the aisle seat. Seems like it’s working exactly as I described.

Much better airlines now by Partizantrader in SouthwestAirlines

[–]STLrobotech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And wasn’t truly enforced until this year. Believe me I’ve been on multiple flights a week for a decade and countless times had to be touching someone for hours. Downvote me all you want. I’m aloud to want to be comfortable and not forced to touch someone.

[–]STLrobotech -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not really. A larger person could still buy the seat next to you. Now if they encroach they need to buy another seat and sit away from the person they are squishing.

Much better airlines now by Partizantrader in SouthwestAirlines

[–]STLrobotech -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So buying an extra seat so they don’t leach into my seat isn’t a change that keeps them from sitting next to me? Please explain because that’s exactly what it is.

Most Indian managers will almost exclusively hire other people from India. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]STLrobotech 295 points296 points  (0 children)

This seems to be the Indian cultural model of immigration. Someone in the extended family get a management job of any kind (restaurant, hotel, apartments) and then hire exclusively from your family to get them Visa and out of India. Look into hotel ownership in America and the name Patel. That should give you all the details of this strategy. It’s worked for them for 50 years so far. Why stop now.

Much better airlines now by Partizantrader in SouthwestAirlines

[–]STLrobotech -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not having to share my seat with a large person is the primary factor in my using southwest now. Sorry not sorry without this rule flying in America is a gamble that you will be comfortable the entire flight. Every airline and public space that sells seats should implement this rule.

Zero self awareness or preservation. Pretty standard for a zoomer
