Yeah, it seems to be another term for disingenuous but much more buzzy and maybe more political? From the Wikipedia page: Examples of behavior described as virtue signalling include changing Facebook profile pictures to support a cause, par

True. Just offering something else similar and cool for the person in the previous comment to check out.

But wasn't that also an all out war on the far left as well as minority movements vs letting the right-wing militants fester over time? I recall the 90s, esp. after the OKC bombing, having a lot more talk about militias. The media also

Not sure about the working in tech thing but that seems an apt description, at least from my college days. There was always a playing of the victim card since the politics of the students at the university were decently left. The funny thin

Would have to assume this. As someone else said, stuff like this has been going on for a while, it's just a different. I doubt it will get up to guns -- this is the US, they would've just started there if their intent was to actua

Re: therapists - could be cheaper, depending on the bars. Check for 'sliding scale'.

Yep. It's dominant in its space and definitely belongs on this list. As someone that has created and destroyed so many blogs, it was easy to get going, choose a theme, and post. At one point, they may have gotten $10-20 from me so I co

Yep. Just reading that in the prior comment was off-putting.

Sometimes they can be caught off-guard with your unhappiness. Usually, you're not announcing that you're interviewing at other places for the same reasons. It's all in the game, I guess.

Seems like you already earned your nut. Those that haven't might want to take that Google tradeoff, esp. if young and unencumbered, so that can get to where you're at. Your middle-class also seems to be a bit different than my mid

That's how I was taught (via managers on reddit actually, not irl). Dig as far as you can, record it all, then escalate. You also have to gauge how critical it is and how much of your time (esp. if other things are building up) to spen

Yup. And we've seen the rumblings of this in the US in the past few years, on both sides. Too bad racism is our thing over 'class warfare'. Think that goes back to the everyone thinking their a temporarily inconvenienced mill

Forgot about The 10,000 Year Clock ( http://longnow.org/clock/ ). That seems nerdy but somewhat hard to conceptualize.

Honestly had no idea how those folks even made money. Thanks for that.

I was on the same after university and had a great time. Talked with my manager a few months after when visiting and he asked if I liked it so much why didn't I let them know and they would've sorted it out for me to stay longer.

Zoom isn't bad. I've seen companies using BlueJeans lately. HighFive ( https://highfive.com/ ) was really great the one time I had a chance to set it up.

This was interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record#Barri... I forget, but I think there was some criticism that came out in a major paper about Epic Systems a couple years back. They all seem

For those that don't have to customize it, it 'just works' right? Also, their only major competitor was blogger at the time which, IIRC, was far less customizable and monetizable.

I had a similar non-disparagement clause. Not bad talk about company and especially CEO. I asked for a sunset clause, HR asked if I wanted my money or not. Sent it past a lawyer friend and he said take the money because it would never hold

Yes. Waiting on new job to start then might get new tires (tread is good but they're 8-9 years old). Might get some basic household stuff I've neglected (new pillow). Haven't been to a dentist in a while so...yeah, scared to

Had to get a TB test prior to starting a new job. Everything was covered for me but there's the cost of health care itself in the US plus the little cuts that add up to. If can't get validation, parking is expensive. A little sign

It's a bit easier to choose what you drive / commute with than where you end up living.

Oh ok, cool. I guess I thought it was more autonomous than that by the name. Watching the other boosters land was really impressive.

At two different workplaces there was always a 'class' divide in the bathrooms. For us workers, the standard bright lights, stalls (w/ the gaps people are talking about), uncomfortable temperatures at times, noise, etc. Then
