Funny, I came here to make the exact same analogy. I totally agree - a mature kid and an immature adult have a lot of overlap.

In case anyone is worried, the worm is named for what it looks like, not where it lives.
So these people were not only depraved, they were idiots, too? Did they decide that their home Internet was too slow for their illegal content, so they’d do it at work? Crazy.
Apparently the people who have to review flagged items on social media, including law enforcement, really do suffer emotional issues. Like having to watch horrific child porn or torture videos. I get that someone has to do it, but I just couldn’t subject myself to that.
Yeah, apparently no “free parking” in this game.
This is ridiculous. If I lose my job, can’t pay my bills, lose my home, and there’s no room in a shelter, what the hell am I supposed to do? I get that it’s a problem for cities, including mine, to have homeless encampments, but there has to be a relief valve in the system. You have to give people some option for living that isn’t illegal.
Such a fucked up court.
We do a lot of real-time control software, and just yesterday we were taking about how the newer folks are really good at using available tools and libraries, but they have less understanding of what’s happening underneath and they have problems when those tools don’t/can’t do what we need.
Apparently he wants everything written in COBOL
According to the song, he still needs his man
That all makes perfect sense, and I think you’re spot on.
There’s another factor I’ve noticed, too. Like I said, I’m a manager. Honestly, when I’m home, I get more done because there’s fewer interruptions. But many of those interruptions are employees popping in to talk to me. Sometimes they just want to say hi or whatever, but not infrequently it starts with “Hey, there’s something I wanted to talk with you about…” and they tell me about some issue or something going on. They could email/message/call me about those things, but often they just don’t.
So I think my job as a manager is more effective when we can talk face to face. I go into the office three days a week.
I have mixed emotions about it. I manage a software engineering team at an aerospace company. I do see some increased quality and productivity when folks who work together and colocated. But there are tradeoffs, and happier employees for sure needs to be in the trade. Our company has sites in different states, and for years and years we’ve grabbed the skills we need from wherever they are. That is, we’ve recognized that it’s workable to have at least some people not colocated, and are willing to take that hit if it buys us something.
We were nearly 100% remote for the better part of two years, and it was fine. Our productivity was at least adequate. My personal feeling is that a hybrid arrangement, where everyone has some overlapping days, is the sweet spot. But I’ve fought for individuals being fully remote when it made sense.
The article says the “or else” was that they’d become ineligible for promotion, and half decided to do it anyway. So they didn’t lose their job.
I work at a place that makes a lot of NASA rockets - you can’t believe how many times I’ve seen this on office walls over the years.
An interesting article with some good points. One thing I didn’t see mentioned, that I’ve noticed as an old guy, is that a given joke isn’t necessarily funny a second time, and a lot of movies and shows use jokes that have been around a while. Probably nobody laughed when they read the “boy are my arms tired” joke used as an example in the article. That joke has been around since the 40s, and the article uses it because it’s so familiar to so many people. It was probably funny once, but now it’s a cliche.
So if I go to a movie and the jokes are variants of ones I’ve seen or heard a bunch of times, I’m probably not going to laugh, and that doesn’t mean I’ve lost my sense of humor.
Harris doesn’t elicit the strong negative emotions as Hilary. People might not like her, but few viscerally hate her.
I honestly think Clinton would have been a decent president, and that she was consistently smeared, but this is a terrible idea. There are lots of people who have bought into her being the antichrist and who could never vote for a ticket she’s on.
Yeah, I’m with you. And there are more stipulations than in the headline. They had to have been married yesterday or earlier (to prevent a bunch of people running off to get married just for this), have been in the country for ten years or more, never been deported, and some other stuff. It seems like a reasonably basis for saying it’s better to let the person stay legally than split up the family.
That’s actually among the better AI generated cheese holes I’ve seen. Lots of times the holes are very non-random looking.
Exactly right. They might consider it initially, but then they’d realize that they got an increase in support from the MAGA base and they’d lean into it.
