I’ve never seen HR use data brokers. I would think that could open them to a lot of risk, finding out things that aren’t legal to know about someone before saying yes. All of mine have used actual background check agencies

I used to disagree with you on snap… Until it horribly horribly failed me. No way to revert, I remember reading pages that were essentially “just reinstall your os”. Noooope. Flatpak all the way now.

Which I would say is a position they have lucked themselves into honestly. We all know, the viewers, that the more risky you are as a show the more captivating it can be, which I think southpark proves. They took a lot of risks, and got themselves into this spot where it’d be ridiculous of CC to get rid of them now because they are a cash cow. New shows however, corporations never connect the dots and tell them things are too risky, to take the safer more bland route, and of course they are shocked when they don’t do as well.

(You should change your title to be the question)

I personally love it. It’s not the cleanest of humor, but it’s just a pure satire of our society, and I love it. The show has changed as it’s aged, it goes up and down, but I love how they’re not afraid to call out bullshit we put up with. Season… 22 how every scene starting on the school had gunshots and children screaming? Hilarious to me, because it’s so ridiculous how we just put up with school shootings. It’s outrageous, and it’s meant to offend, and idk I just appreciate it.

When everyone else is trying to appease corporate committees and shareholders, Southpark just says fuck it and writes what they want.

Literally relevant XKCD!

Enjoy, friend, it’s one of the longest running and best webcomics. https://xkcd.com (His books are great too)

Eh, yeah but we don’t have the numbers to remove content left and right. Better to have mediocre content right now than 1 really good post every 2 weeks

I really like the GPL license for that reason. Take it, use it, be merry. But don’t you dare use it in a closed source project, and you have to give me credit

Oh man if you don’t recognize xkcd… You’re in for a treat reading through them all

Mine went off in high humidity when I showered and forgot to turn on the fan

Goddamn do republicans love to forget history. They hear “They used to be left” and then think that’s the end of the story.

Republicans and Democrats switched sides during Lincoln’s time. So anything that was “Left” around that time is now the right. Republicans love saying now they were the party that freed the slaves because of Lincoln, but really the democrats then have flipped.

So, to say “Weren’t they left wing” is a bad notion, because those “wings” meant completely different things back then. The fact is that the KKK and racists have always been on the wrong side of history. Right now they label themselves Republicans. In Civil War era they called themselves Democrats, who at the time were anti-big government, pro-slavery, and dominated most of the south.

This is how I see it too, there’s the trope that it’s only neckbeards who can’t get any, but really I see it as the future of pornography. Sex work is real work, they deserve to get paid for it. Creators have said that it is leaps and bounds better than the standard porn industry in terms of how they’re exploited and treated, because they’re their own Boss

That sounds like a great gig! Great office life, and a ton of PTO (for American standards). Although I will say, I’ve been in small startups. The beer and alcohol is fun - but the startups grow. It’s all fun until someone who doesn’t drink joins, or someone develops a problem. Keep an eye on those two issues, about 3 of the 4 startups I’ve been at one of those has happened.

Why would I call it wasting? It’s funding the worthwhile part of my life, and it does a great job at it. I’ve been on several vacations already this year. I get to live where I want to. I have a great family that I love spending time with. To allow that I have firm limits with my job of 40 hours a week, then I go home. I enjoy several hours every night with them, and on weekends we usually go out and do something fun.

You keep trying to convince me I’m not happy, and I assure you I’m very happy with my lifestyle. If other people want to work more, more power to them. I don’t understand it, but I guess do what you enjoy. I don’t enjoy working - I enjoy my personal time. So I found a job that pays me well, respects my time, and every day promptly at 4 I clock off, and I enjoy my evening. Whatever work there is will be ready for me at 8am.

There are always things that get in the way, sometimes I need to work the occasional night, there’s a deadline, I’ve missed a few weekends - but I always take the time off the following week to make up for it. Your younger years are gone in a blip, these times become memories quickly. I have many fond memories of trips, time with loved ones, friends, and even coworkers. You know what I don’t remember? Projects, deadlines, and meetings.

No, I have a home, a great family, and I cherish my hobbies and free time. I work to live, I don’t live to work.

A job will let you go the minute they need to. Your family will be with you for life, and it’s much more important.

If I were a kid right out of college, I’d honestly consider it. The key is truly knowing what you’re getting into. Companies gobble up those kids out of college because they’re naiive, and they want to prove themselves. MAANG knows that and take advantage of it. As long as you’re aware of that going into it, and plan to use them too, then go for it. Just don’t plan to be a lifer, know that they don’t care about you going in.
