Recent times have made me ashamed of what this site has become. I'm with jaquesm- this is ridiculous.
Tons of new accounts <1mo throwing the discourse out with the bath water and no one stopping them.
HN has become the LA of websites. Y'all think everyone thinks like you and anyone who doesn't is just wrong. But when it all burns down and people are cheering you will be left wondering why.
It has devolved and only gotten worse. I feel those of us who are more center have slowly but surely gone AFK and now all thats left are the two extremes.
Comments flagged for absolutely no reason, the attacks- it even feels like dang has gone hands-off lately.
Since Trump's election I've seen nothing but rule-breaking everywhere, and it has become absolutely rampant.
I dont even come here for the comments anymore. yall can have the burning garbage heap this has become- it was a good run while it lasted.
Ethan Suplee is a personal hero of mine. I've been watching him in movies since clerks, and felt bad as I saw him continue to get bigger. When he started his transformation some gym bros posted it to some forums we inhabit. He didn't want to be all public about it since he'd yoyo'd before, but we cheered him on online. When I saw he'd gone public I was so happy for him. His pic now hangs in my home gym with Arnold and Ronnie.
Not really. I just came off night shift and was thrown right back on it. We work 12 hour shifts, they alternate between forced overtime and disallowed overtime at their whims.
When I brought up I have yet to get my float (4x10s considered the 'easy' shift) I was told there was nothing they could do. All I could think was well how will you handle it when I leave?
Management really is that dense.
They care not one whit about objections nor people leaving.
Imho it's merely a matter of time but the younger guys all hold out hope. I've none left.
New plants came to town paying current market rate and snagged most of the top talent.
Then the company started quiet-firing to avoid layoffs. It killed all motivation.
Then they froze hiring as we kept losing people. We are now short on HVAC, mechanics, and electricians.
Lucky me I'm the only guy who can do all three so im running ragged all day.
We have response times we have to meet but our vehicle (an electric GEM) had the charger die, it's only $2k but they won't let me order it so we all walk everywhere. Huge plant I easily bust 30k+ steps and 20+ stories climbed via stairs.
We then had a mechanic and an electrician take paternity leave so we are even more shorthanded. Still wont let us hire.
We lost the maintenance manager and cant get another one for what we pay and the condition the business is in now.
I love my job andy co-workers but I'm sending out resumes and interviewing because I can't take all the extra workload with no extra pay while our administration keeps getting more money and bonuses.
How do companies keep making the same mistakes over and over expecting different results? They don't, they know what's going on and are getting theirs before the bottom falls out.
You are simply mad it doesn't benefit you directly, the problem with most people nowadays.
I also paid mine back, but I'm glad this is happening. I'm also angry we don't use the funds for ie veterans instead and I also would like reform with the bailout.
As you can hopefully see it's a very nuanced issue and you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Lol alright I'll play along troll. I now believe you may just be said community manager based on how out of touch with reality you are, and how aggressive and gaslighting when people post facts while posting absolutely nothing substantive yourself. Go back to reddit.
My video I linked explained everything as did op's.
You wre still being a crybully and your gaslighting wont work here.
Since I'm so wrong here's[1] yet another update about godot heing forked over the kerfuffle.
You can call me what you want and live in denial all you want, it wont change the facts no matter how hard you 'Reeee'
Sure some people may have addictive personalities but by and large these things are designed to get people addicted. Someone who was never addicted to, nor ever would have normally become addicted to anything can become addicted by trying something supposedly benign as a 'game'.
