Basquiat would blush, this is great!

Or vet bills 😩

That’s the thing. On one hand I like not being bombarded by the shit opinions but on the other I like being informed at what the talking points are (to a degree) because I find that keeps me sharp against the opposition. When I read or hear about conservative viewpoints, I only think about how obtuse the logic is so it’s not something I worry at all about affecting my mindspace so this might not be a solution to everyone.

I’m still torn on the topic since it’s nice to not give a platform to obviously shit ideals since that’s how the misinformation spreads but I still wonder if there’s an even better protocol out there we haven’t been able to even comprehend yet.

Good points!

The timing is quite important. Other things to consider are tax periods, bonuses, and nature of the markets. That can all be racked up as cost of doing business if the long-term benefits outweigh the long-term costs.

Especially if they are having a bad year or quarter, performing layoffs can show promise of a better next quarter since severance is basically a fixed cost to the number of employees you have.

There isn’t necessarily one size fits all but the bottom line is dropping employees saves money as human resources are always one of the largest costs of operating.

Companies will time layoffs to get a better profit in the next couple months to report better quarterly or yearly earnings reports. How those earnings reports turn out directly affects the stock market performance, which in turn makes the shareholders significantly more money.

This is most effective if somebody’s trying to pump the stock value before jumping ship in the most egregious cases.

We have to clarify every time something is American? People don’t even realize because, well, it’s so normal to an American. It’s not like it’s done spitefully.

The true way to get the unpopular opinions

Absolutely. It’s so lively there and with all the people around at all times of the night, I never felt unsafe. Just people out having a good time

Same experience with my printer! Gave me some motivation to finish off some of the projects I’ve disregarded since there’s some new shiny light to it. The printer has been going non-stop (while it’s not needing to be maintained) and I’ve made enclosures, costumes, frames, and molds that got me back into programming, crafting, painting, and masonry. Glad to have such split attention sometimes, lol.

Bookmarked in case of deep inspiration, thank you!

Goddammit, now I need to change my fkn VPN, too

Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.

Hell yeah, I’ve been making G&Ts for my quick mixer over the past few years - it’s so good. That Earl Grey cocktail sounds absolutely divine for the last bit of warm weather we have here, thank you!

Yes! Your knowledge will last and it’s insane how many hobbies have coinciding skills. Keeping it fresh allows me to stay motivated and as long as I’m doing something, I couldn’t care less if it’s painting or soldering or whateverthefuckelse at that moment :D

What’s been your favorite cocktail as of recently to have on a normal night?

Do it after you get it refrozen so you get it to stay broken like the wimp it is

That sounds incredibly trippy to see in theaters at 6-7. Kinda jealous of your story!

If I’m going to be relaying through to people strictly over text as much as I do these days, I better have a way to articulate it with the right emotional range to match my sparkling personality ✨

I find it’s going to need to get even more convenient for the general public to be interested in it. Federation almost needs to be a ‘background’ process that the end user doesn’t really need to deal with. Otherwise, it’ll be a little too complicated or obscure to comprehend for most. I know it isn’t rocket science but we’re talking about the general public, here.
