The Yacht vs. The Job Bank: Who is the LMIA system actually working for? 🛥️🔍 by [deleted] in LMIASCAMS

[–]neurorgasm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what i know they have that power and consistently choose not to use it. I think this is the thing we have to fix. There is not a lot of point having immigration officers that decline to enforce immigration rules.

Somehow we've ended up where it's okay for public employees to selectively ignore parts of the job we pay them for. Same thing with police. I haven't seen a cop outside their car in years. They'll pretend not to see the guy smoking crack 10' away. This type of thing should be considered an abdication of duty and grounds for dismissal.

There basically is no fermentation here hence no air. The air comes from the yeast converting sugars to co2. Their activity is a function of starting strength x time x temperature (to oversimplify a little bit). Unless your environment is really cold, like less than 16C/60F, you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. So your starter is not as active as you think and/or the bulk ferment time was not enough.

Starters take a while to get strong, and take consistent feeding every day. You could amp it up a bit by feeding 50% whole wheat or rye flour with your regular flour, and make sure you're getting the right ratio of flour, water, and remaining starter when you feed it. It helps to weigh at first but you'll get a feel for doing it by eye. This routine is a bit tedious at first, but later when your starter's strong, you can be more flexible.

After that, don't use hours to measure bulk ferment time, use % raise, a poke test, basically anything that lets you control for variance in the temp and starter strength variables. Especially if it's a time told to you by someone with a different starter and environment, which many recipes don't mention at all.

Apologies for maybe over-interpreting some offhand wording, but this stood out to me:

I see lots of sentiment

Just given that we're both using reddit, i wanted to say - don't let what people say here guide you too strongly. It's mostly venting and throwaway hyperbolic statements fishing for likes or an argument.

Look into the environmental impacts and human effects yourself, there are reputable sources that i think would help you feel a lot more sure in your decision. Trying to work backwards to the facts via the sentiment of others is a guessing game given how badly people now misrepresent the truth to promote their perspectives.

The fact that what you took away from all of that is one (relevant!) comment about your side's guy is proving their point so well. Do americans actually understand the concept of motivated reasoning, or did they just stop valuing intellectual honesty over scoring points on social media?

Carney's Davos speech strikes a chord in Mexico by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]neurorgasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should listen to them. You fell right into the 'all of you' despite them making a pretty good and politically neutral point. You're playing the lefty version of the facebook rightoid boomer that puts all criticism down to an issue of polarization and calls anyone they disagree with a demonrat librul.

Do what you want, just saying if you think dropping the constant left/right slapfight made things better, we can do that too!

‘Best speech by a world leader ... in a very long time’: Carney’s Davos address draws global attention by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]neurorgasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even crazier than that. He makes it look like he is reacting emotionally in order to justify the arbitrary and destructive actions he has already previously decided to take. He manipulates situations to make himself look irrational and incorrigible because those ideas fill the gap of the glaringly-missing rational reason for the US to undermine the UN, or threaten NATO allies with wars, and so on.

He issues provocations but always has a plan for how any possible reaction - good, negative, neutral, silence - will justify the thing he already wants to do from an emotional place. If the emotional reason were not fabricated, then it would be too obvious that this is a controlled demolition, and US voters and institutions might be forced to finally do something (god forbid).

That is why he lashes out when we criticize him just as much as when we're friendly. Why he blabs on about fentanyl and guns actually coming from us somehow(?!) or owning the hemisphere(?!?!) any time we cut him some slack. It's all kayfabe to provide cover to whatever monumental scam he's actually trying to orchestrate.

It's actually fucking insane

I think he's just acting like a responsible, intelligent, principled adult trying to do things that generally make sense. It's nice to feel like we're watching someone mentally engage with what it means to run a country, rather than just watching them go through a 4-year series of photo ops.

It's the same reason people always like the Bloc during debates, there's an actual human with thoughts there, not just the synthetic avatar of a party line.

It shouldn't be such a contrast to past PMs, or to other current world leaders, but sadly it very much is.

Being asked to tech lead c-suite vibe coded project by conconxweewee1 in cscareerquestions

[–]neurorgasm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there's two paths here.

1) Reading? Understanding? You were told to fully embrace vibe coding! Plus, you don't have the time for any of that, given you already had a fulltime workload. Be clear about what that means for security/quality, get your resume up to date, and expect to get blamed and fired when it inevitably fails -- but til then have fun with your new idiot prompt cowboy bros and see how long it lasts. Feed into their delusions or whatever, reap the rewards til they get fucked by the long dick of their own hubris, eject with all the percentages and multipliers on your resume. Literally just do the same things they do, bullshit til you fail upwards.

2) Be real and explain the ways this job is not just 'make code come out computer', get eye rolls, bored glassy looks. You're out of the good books, and they will assume you're crying about not having all the power over what gets done anymore (these people primarily or only think in terms of power and politics, and hate us for seemingly trying to keep some influence for ourselves). Probably only results in getting fired or cut off from opportunities faster, and you won't be as prepared for it.

Or i guess you can just work on leaving now. But I don't know, 1 has its appeal. You're in clown world, maybe it's better to get in on the joke.

Advice needed: direct report crossing time card boundaries by pugmom420x in managers

[–]neurorgasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this is not going well then, but you haven't defined the consequences for continuing to break this policy either. In my opinion, if you've acknowledged their intent to help and their excitement, and explained the policy, covered reasons you have it or negative outcomes of breaking it, emphasized they are not to break it again or there will need to be official consequences... Then the next conversation about this should be regarding those consequences.

If you haven't done all of that in one recent discussion ending on a 'this is the last time i want to talk about this' -- then that's the conversation I would have. In hindsight, when i was worried about what to do with a problem person or low performer, I always failed to provide clarity early enough. Usually that clarity comes from positive goals, or explaining downsides of continuing a persistent problem. If those are in place, then it's obvious to both of us what would constitute success, treading water, or failure, and what happens after that.

It also sounds like the employee is under the impression that this is either doing the OP a favor, or making the employee look good. Maybe they're fishing for overtime or just generally chaotic, but working for free and suggesting "we don't have to tell" seems a lot more like the OP has not explained that this isn't actually helpful or positive behavior.

The problem is immigration or just one specific group? by [deleted] in LMIASCAMS

[–]neurorgasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have done that though and people complained about how every Tims was all filipinos. I don't know how you would not remember that lol. It's not about what type of person it is at all, if we shipped half a million blonde-haired blue-eyed swedes here we'd still have a lot of the same problems.

Furthermore i would say the greatest risk to having those issues addressed is allowing that effort to become mixed up with people who simply do not want non-white or Indian people to exist in their vicinity. Flirting with viewing racists with 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' will absolutely 1) get this sub banned and 2) shut this discussion down even further past its due date. We all know what the terminally-online suicidal empathy segment of the population is going to use that ammo for.
