The type of people who continue to discuss politics and say "X IS political" even when it clearly isn't, are the most toxic people to be around particularly in the workplace. I really wish my current workplace implements such

I grew up watching soccer and then stopped cold turkey until last world cup. I just couldnt stand watching this crap anymore because of all the diving and time wasting etc. I started watching NFL this past season and i found a lot more int

That's certainly not a world I want to be part of. Seeking pleasure 100% of the time is quite depressing the same way trying to survive 100% of the time is.

I notice that the more someone is active on Twitter (especially politically), the more toxic they are. They tend to carry that whole Twitter etiquette with them everywhere, be it on Slack in the workplace or in the office for example. I won

> I imagine you needed to create a entire persona with linkedin presence and all to get the junior hired for remote work. Or you simply don't have any online presence whatsoever. At least not one that shows the real life you.

I see the same thing happening with American colleagues pouring down on us, non-Americans, all sorts of American-society-specific problems and making new workplace rules based on that. I wish neither of what you or I are describing was true

Small correction but the holocaust wasn't the biggest genocide in human history. Obviously this isn't a competition nor it should be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides_by_death_tol...

Micro aggression is not about the size of the action, it's about the scale (on how many people it is applied). I'm not black, but i worked with Brad before. Years later, I realize Brad was largely right, although a bit of a dickhe

What companies in berlin do pay 3-4x 45k per year? I think 45k is for a junior dev (or some immigrant experienced dev who didn't negotiate due to lack of knowledge on local market + employee taking advantage of that), but 3-4x that is

Is it sexual harassment because it's in the workplace or it's because the receiving end didn't like it/the flirting person or because flirting IS a sexual harassment?

It sounds to me like people are being put in their positions where they are the most effective. Skewing any other way for the sake of having a "equal representation" is simply silly imo. We see the same thing in tech where we want

So what most linebarckers are black (aren't most players are black anyway?), most quarterbacks are white and most audience white? Why should they be "diverse" in color, what's the point?

I guess the bigger the wealth, the less you rely on whatever the government does with the taxes. What you're interested in at that point is how does the government treat people like you (financially), high taxes? more regulation? etc e
