A coworker mentioned it would’ve been better if that CEO was put on trial for his bullshit as so many were being fucked over by callous capitalist choices.

That’s the thing, the law is on the CEOs side. Almost everyone thinks his behavior should be illegal except the politicians won’t do shit about it. That’s what should really be going on now. Congress should be addressing health care in some fashion. Even if that only means limited action like cracking down on predatory insurance companies. Fat chance though.

So without a legal path of fixing the issue, that only leaves illegal means.

They’re sure taking a beating this year.

True, but if it’s not a traditional business but a coop, you’d probably prefer to have the original investors bee the members. Guess it really depends on if they can scratch up enough to cover startup costs.

They’re free. You can just take one. No one will stop you.

Who knows. Gotta be at least 12 yesterday. That might be low. 4 entire hours without a TV, laptop, or phone seems unlikely.

Not sure I believe most of the other answers here.

I like exim a bit more but yeah. The dead simple solution is my goto. It can be tricky without any experience but there’s a ton of information out there.

And once you set it up your pretty good almost indefinitely.

I had no idea her name was Nana Visitor, so the title made no sense. What a name.

I like to create software tools for people smarter than me to create bigger and better things.

Disagree. Or at least, that’s just a side effect. I like talking to people about their expertise.

I could read this from my couch in my home.

Honestly, this is it. You have to want it, and you just have to do it. You’ll feel “sick” for a while but you just have to muscle that out.

I know it’s easier said than done, but it really is that simple. Just stop.

Do they think Russia doesn’t have their own imaging satellites?

Agree with everything else but maybe not this:

You can choose to quit and be gone if you absolutely need to and you’re not going to be homeless. Now you work the toxic job not for them, but for yourself. You use that job, as toxic as it is, to get what you need out of it to raise yourself to the next level of what you need to go elsewhere.

The stress of losing the job is gone from having the money, but the stress of having that job has not gone away. If it is ruining all your free time it’s often good to just GTFO as soon as is reasonable.

Bad advice for a toxic workplace. That’s just going to ruin your mental health.

Art and science were largely the domain of the rich and bored for a long time. This wasn’t really conducive of attracting those with talent, just those with the means.

Also maybe a word cloud.

That’s weird. I haven’t had much of an issue. Though my experience is with the OG Vive so that display is kind of rough to begin with.

I think it was only the worst book for me because of how high my hopes were.

Timequake. I love Vonnegut but I just remember it being impossible to follow and overall not interesting.
