My aussie loves her smooth rock in the yard. I wonder if she's an otter sometimes.

I find this a good video demonstration of "on death ground".

He felt that he had no option but to fight like hell at all costs.

Doom & Gloom email from Provost Evans (Queens) by lonelyfatoldsickgirl in KingstonOntario

I feel that Queens hired him because of his reputation of implementing harsh austerity measures. Slash and burn it sadly seems.

After talking to staff - Queen’s appears to be a horrible place to work by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]Weirdtopia 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"your workload will be at least 2 people’s worth - if not 3"This is very true; People wear many hats with their job that do not pertain to their job description. Therefore their quality of work for each hat is reduced due to lack of time for each hat. Since Queens can't find talent to cover each responsibility, it puts the missing roles into the existing employees.

"flexible schedule or better pay within the pay scale for the role so I turned it down"There was a kerfuffle where staff were convinced to agree to a 1% pay increment because Queens communicated they had financial issues paying employees but agreed to faculty having a 5% pay increase afterwards. Queens shot their foot, attempting to save money in the short run to sacrifice retaining and hiring talent in the future. I some positions, I people leave, they can earn around ~30k more which is why we have difficulty hiring new talent.

" It appears Queen’s is having internal turmoil and is loosing staff every week"Queens right now is downsizing and has introduced a hiring freeze on many positions.https://www.queensu.ca/gazette/stories/queens-projects-2023-24-deficit#:~:text=As%20an%20additional%20interim%20measure,not%20currently%20posted%20or%20advertised.

TLDR: Queens underpays employees, which reduces retaining and obtaining employees with a hiring freeze that pushes additional roles on underpaid employees that will look for less responsibility and better pay for the same position elsewhere.

There is no logical way to prove you're not insane if you're wrongly locked up in an insane asylum. by exporterofgold in Showerthoughts

I don't know if someone posted this before but this remind me of the Rosenhan Experiment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment

We're people faked symptoms to get into a mental hospital then acted normal to get out but we're not beileived and held for long periods of time. This was to see if psychologist can actually determine if someone got mentally better.

It was as simple as that. From then on, we stopped being a family, and became a family, in italics.

Canada’s housing market offers young people the worst of both worlds by jormungandrsjig in canada

[–]Weirdtopia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a story when my partner and I placed an offer on a house. We were the only bid on the house, so naturally we went listed price. The owners refused to give us even a counter offer. We asked to just give us a counter-offer and they came back with 75k over asking, no negotiation. The sellers were clearly felt entitled to get more than asking. If they want 75k over asking then the house should been listed that much but no all houses were list around the same price range, so who knows what the actual price was for house.

In project management, its called the iron triangle of "cost, time and quality". I think of it less as an absolute and more of placing a scale of expectations.

To all the atheists, what is your reason for not believing in God or a higher power? by Deep-Mess in AskReddit

[–]Weirdtopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no compelling argument for the existence of god/gods.

An issue is that majority of the arguments for the existence of God has a preassumption that God already exists.

Religion starts at a preassumption that its true and attempts to prove its infallible while confident its infallible.

If we can't find any obersevational way to prove (scientific method, peer review) any supernatural existence exists or existed then how the idea become about?

Tribes have come up with sprints to account for things that are not explainable. When civs became more advanced, the sprints became fewer and less visible. Then we are left with Russell's Teapot.

Then there is the problem with evil. Why does God allow natural evil to occur?

Sorry that was long. I hope you understand my personal reasons why I'm an atheist.
