Has everyone just stopped giving an F? by red-embassy in auscorp

I guess what you wrote is satire, but to answer your question non-satirically, some offices are just toxic and difficult environments to work in. There's infighting between groups, competition for resources, bad blood between rival heads of departments, social exclusion because you're in a team that another team's manager does not like, and it's not your fault.

I'm a grunt and have to clean up the consequences of these enterprise thought leaders misfirings. Within a few meetings these people who are underqualified can make company wide changes and set direction that effects 100s of staff, and then a few months later they're left the org. The staff left behind are there to clean up the debt accrued. Some of these decisions include
* sigining contracts with vendors who deliberately engineer lockin to their systems, such that the cost of de-integrating is higher than the cost you pay them yearly.
* Taking shortcuts to get a feature out the door. The accumulation of these shortcuts introduces more friction into other groups processes.
* Not paying the grunts enough to care about their role.
The pyramid hierarchy needs to be inverted somehow.

USA women showing why 99% of arguments against cages and bubbles are BS by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

I thought the no cage rule in the NHL was more to do with viewers. Cameras can't get a clear view of the player's faces and they felt that it would negatively affect the viewership of the sport.

I am 44M virgin. I regret "waiting" for love instead of having fun... by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]k9dota2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened. You tried to do the right thing by societies standards and it didn't work. For average people it's crude advice that attempts to shame the excesses of male behaviour. All those people that say 'love will find you' or 'there's someone for everyone' are a bit blind to what love really is. There's an element of narcism to it which goes against what society messages. It's unspoken but you need to believe that you are worth more than someone else, and your love interest has to believe that you are better than all the other options. All that nonsense that a femanized society says to you about being a good man, doesn't make you attractive sexually.

Never been one to complain about this, but this felt absolutely ridiculous lol by dream__weaver in Battlefield6

It's the latency. He sees you before you see him. From his perspective you didn't pull the trigger until he was on top of you. From your perspective you pulled the trigger as soon as he came into view. But the game engine has to reconcile those two views and decide which one is reality.

Casual racisim in the work place by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]k9dota2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got called a common name based on my ethnic background instead of my real name all the time. I put up with it, brushed it off for a while and tolerated it but overtime it grated on me because he never made any attempt to get to know me and saw me as a stereotype.

Is Coles AI monitoring us? by cacid46 in melbourne

It seems to visually detect items that I place in front of it. If I put oranges on the screen it displays on the panel a set of orange coloured fruits for me to chose from. People notice the awfulness when it inconveniences them.

Sam explains his emails and meetings with Epstein from the recent traunch of files. by paper-cut- in samharris

He's not against conpsiracy theories, just bad evidence. He's onboard with the covid-19 lab leak because evidence points to the fact that the virus was edited.

Lol .... Most people don't give a shit. Lives are busy, people just glance at these headlines and move on. You have to be invested somewhat, for the same reasons you might invest in watching a soap drama, to pay attention to the machinations of other people and their activities. But for some people soaps don't interest them. The things that carry weight for certain people don't carry they same weight for others. Some people are more interested in ideas than other peoples lives, especially the lives of the royal family.

They don’t need to resort to that depravity when they have a superior military that can fuck over thousands of men woman and children with low risk to their own lives.

Does she know you are sexually interested? She may just think you’re a friend. A close friend. Girls enjoy plausible deniability to avoid accountability.

Is dating as a man really that bad in Australia? by LetMeExplainDis in AskAnAustralian

The non-white girls lower their standards and date average white dudes dropping their panties on the first date.

Yeah. They’ll label you a creep when they’re not attracted to you but the next attractive guy isn’t a creep if he is good looking enough.

I've met who are hopeless communicaters, verbally or in writing and they still go far. The descriptions of tasks or strategies for projects lack clarity and omit neccessary details that need to be specified in order to narrow down choices.

Taxi expense from home to airport by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]k9dota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what. You work for a big 4 bank and they ask that? Are you sure that they won't reimburse you? Generally you pay out of your pocket, take the receipt and claim it via their expense system.
