I've been good friends of about 10 years with the guy I now work for he's always spending 15 minutes covering something that should take 5, everyone knows it, he knows it so people interrupt and say yeah we all get it, next topic

but when I dial into the meeting, that's hard if not impossible to do because you can't read the room and see if people do in fact get it

yeah, that's why there's one person in charge of the meeting who controls the mics

yeah, its the manager of the team who has the problem, so not a good solution

well, i'd say a bigger problem is forcing developers to live in trailers because they can't afford rent where the meetings are held

yeah that doesn't happen where I live, the opposite is true we don't have enough desks for everyone to work from the office, housing isn't a premium but office space

i'm not talking about where you live then. i'm talking about where all the big tech firms are located where the cost of living is ridiculous.

my original point was that big tech firms have an inordinate amount of control over media, and that they are biased ideologically because their employees are all from one or two extremely liberal cities. the argument i was trying to make was that the cost of living in these cities might force the companies to disperse geographically, thereby alleviating some of the ideological bias.

teleconferencing technology is just something that enables that. i'm not advocating that everyone everywhere should only teleconference.

as an example, reddit. reddit has 230 employees, and their office is in san francisco. now there's a certain number of those employees that have to be there physically because there is hardware they have to work on. but there's a lot of those employees that really have no need to cart their meat into a physical office. the labor they do can be just as easily done from anywhere else, and it would be a cost savings for everyone involved if they worked remotely.

chicken is racist

some people arent doing as well... and some of those people not doing well are not white... therefore racism... its so clear to me now

Typical democrats. Enslaving their voters while whispering in their ear that they're winning. So devious.

Speaking of inflated pricing and mortgages, I think we're due another recession. Been almost ten years since the last crash.

nooooo I just bought 😛

so did my friend, in Las Vegas of all places. rip.

anyway the cycle goes wage inflation first, then boom, then recession

we're certainly seeing that here in Seattle.

so i think we're in the wage inflation cycle... you need confidence before a recession happens... otherwise they are too prepared for it

if everyone thinks there is going to be a recession.. then companies prepare for it.. and then it doesnt happen

which is why so many lose out in a recession

Well they prepare for it by cutting jobs, which has its own impact.

Theres always money in the banana stand

this racist article is far too optimistic https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6438124/liam-fox-brexit-power-britain/

noplatform for all those people wanting to debate.. ***squints*** ...genocide? https://twitter.com/ADobsonComicArt/status/1002633164295229441?s=20

but... what if both sides are genocidal maniacs, that just don't agree who they want to get rid of?

How does this guy make a living?

Perhaps the Popeyes review guy is guilty of appropriating Korean culture by doing a mukbang. 🙃

huffington post doxes the shit out of a person

Vee just did a good video on that

do these people not realise if they spout this stuff all over media, other countries will not take them seriously in negotiations.... are they trying to tank america? https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1003248684589617152?s=20

I mean one tweet is nothing... but if they get a narrative going.. for long enough...

On a different note, the Tim cast would be ranked quite high in Indians cast system ;)

is this monetized/restricted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25ZBUtItCYE

No ads but plays fine

imagine nearly 14m views and no monetisation 😦

I just tried a few times just now... might have been monetized before.
