No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?
1·9 days agoPutting up with unintelligent people is literally what everyone does at work. Only unintelligent people say shit like that

7·9 days agoMy dude, we’ve butted heads multiple times. Thatsbnote even really relevant to your fundamental misconception of what work should looks like.
Your post history is full of blaming others.
If everyone else is always the problem, sometimes you need to look at the common denominator

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•USA should be sanctioned and boycottedEnglish
163·10 days agoI don’t know that this is unpopular per se but it would be bad politics. The US is too much of an economic powerhouse

18·10 days agoJust FYI, you’re the one who sounds angry.
Also, as someone who works in healthcare…. The other guy is right

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL About the 1985 MOVE bombing, where the Philadelphia Police Department bombed and burned 61 houses, murdering 11 and leaving 250 homeless
18·25 days agoAs a Philly area resident, it always cracks me up when people learn about this. Yup, it’s the only time the US firebombed itself. It’s still a tough topic today, since not all the bodies have been returned.

News@lemmy.world•Trump on pace to deport 600,000 people this year. How does that compare to Biden?
1·26 days agoHe’s literally doubled the number that Biden did last year? That’s like the second paragraph

News@lemmy.world•Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton indicted
7·26 days agoThe indictment does mention 2 unnamed people, but it quite clearly states that he “sent [written diary] entries to individuals 1 and 2 that contained information classified up to the TOP SECRET level”. He also allegedly emailed top secret info to the same individuals. That email was later hacked by Iran, who gained access to government info.
It’s fine to criticize this, but if you’re going to claim you read the indictment, at least read it…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People aged 25+ How often do you hang out/see friends?
14·1 month agoYou mean at work?
Oh wait, am I supposed to actually see my non-work friends? I thought we just needed to text each other

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?
12·1 month agoGotta love when people who don’t work in my industry try to explain my industry to me lol.
This is just about the grossest oversimplification I’ve ever read. The HMO act isn’t even close to the worst offender of laws that inflate our costs

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall?
09·1 month agoEh, this is like “how to lie with data 101”. You want YOY growth, not cumulative since 1970. All this says is we had very few, if any, managers in 1970. Also, we need that green line to move more

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The age of adulthood should be 21 and the age of consent should be 21 across the world
2·1 month agoActually the car part might make sense lol. Anything else you should be able to do tho
jeffw@lemmy.worldtoPersonal Finance@lemmy.ml•On a credit card, for people struggling unable to pay it off in full every month, what's the difference between "annual percentage rate" and "monthly interest rate" for unpaid balance?English
5·1 month agoI would never max out credit. That’s bad for your credit score. And those tempting offers are great until you don’t pay it all off and get slammed with interest.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Dave Chappelle Criticizes Free Speech in America at Saudi Arabia Comedy FestivalEnglish
1134·1 month agoI don’t think anyone thought he was criticizing free speech. Yes, it’s a bad title, but it’s still hilarious to go to Saudi Arabia and pretend like they have more free speech rights
jeffw@lemmy.worldtoPersonal Finance@lemmy.ml•On a credit card, for people struggling unable to pay it off in full every month, what's the difference between "annual percentage rate" and "monthly interest rate" for unpaid balance?English
9·1 month agoI think you’re mixing it up. Nobody actually gets 30% interest in a month. That’s the APR.
roughly speaking, your monthly interest is 1/12th of the APR.
Edit: payday loans might actually get that high tbh… but that’s a separate issue. Credit card APRs will be around 25-30% most of the time

News@lemmy.world•Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia
20·1 month agoI just tried it with other active politicians (“Pelosi”) and it answered. Granted, it said there were no credible reports
Why would it refuse to say anything if I search for Trump, but answer with another prominent politician who is in office?

Dogs@lemmy.world•I've seen her eat vomit, poop, and a dead rat, but heaven forbid I mix a tiny pill into her foodEnglish
7·1 month agoI’ve resigned myself to pill pockets. They can get pricey, but if it’s not a pill that’s flavored for dogs, my dogs won’t take them. Or they’ll pretend to and I’ll find the pill hours later that they spat out
