I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

I don’t know how to attach the gif though…

Idk I’m still partial to quetzacoaltus!

Where in the world would you have gotten armor? I’m legit interested. Is it real plate?

It was one of the first things Hitler did. The invasion of Poland in 1939 was a result of the “lebensraum” policy. It means that the German people needed more “living room”, Which is exactly what’s happening in Israel and has been for decades. Fun fact, one of the failures of the US and the allies at the beginning of WW2 was the appeasement policy. They felt like as long as they just gave him what he wants then there won’t be any more problems. I feel like I see a lot of that same BS here as well.

Came here to say that. Stupid science bitches…

Maybe you need a career shift bud. As a designer you could absolutely use those softwares!

This is just a joke reference from It’s always Sunny in Philadelphia. Put down the pitchforks.

I’ll say this. I use chrome and I KNOW I need to switch to Mozilla. It’s just such a pain to switch that I inevitably go back. Maybe this is the wake up call I need.

Unfortunately this was done by design. Israel is committing atrocities and the last thing they want is the actual truth of what they’re doing getting out to the world. This is just another one of their “power targets” designed to quake fear into the hearts of their enemy. I’m glad that they are launching an official case for the assignation of a journalist. I really hope it actually goes somewhere.

Dude, I’m in that same boat. So much of my team is remote that when I do come into the office all my meetings are still on zoom. I like how you put it, “I’m arbitrarily in the office”

I’ll say this. What works for you doesn’t always work for everyone else, and I feel like that’s kind of the point. The CEO/CFO cares more about bringing people back to the office than they do about their employees. I hear you, it’s healthy to interact with people, and If that’s what you need awesome. But a lot of other people don’t feel that same way. I think it’s going to take tolerance on both sides for this paradigm shift to be a success.

Yeah, I’m with you. At least make the video private…

I’m so tired of businesses claiming that the only way for a company to be successful is if everyone is in person for the dear dear meetings. We all know exactly what this is about. 1. It’s more dofficult to micromanage employees when a manger can’t constantly observe them, and 2. All the giant real estate investments companies have made is now coming due and they cant fill up their buildings fast enough to get those tax breaks. Why the hell else are they “tracking” people in the office. Meanwhile senior leadership can come and go whenever they see fit. It’s control. Plain and simple.

Absolutely the case. I’m a motion designer and thank god I work on the partnship side of my business because that’s actually bringing in money, while the owned and operated businesses are failing. All of tech has just been under the knife the last 18 months and it’s exhausting. We’ve lost two people and no new hires because it’s not in the budget.

Beat me to it. DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS ANYMORE! Brother is a fantastic alternative and if I’m not mistaken sometimes cheaper, and if not cheaper, it’s at least far better quality.

Yeah sorry, just meant MacOS! It’s a work computer so I think the IT guys kind of force it sometimes.

I’m a Mac user and let me tell you, it could easily be an osx device. Those friggin updates take forever, and can be forced on you with no warning.

Exactly. I tried using Linux and I just don’t understand how to use it, and I consider myself fairly tech savvy. It would bring my productivity to a grinding halt if I had to switch to Linux.

Economics is wild. Thanks for the explanation!

How does raising Interest rates like that combat inflation. I know we’re doing here in the US too. Anyone have insight they can add?
