Then the OP is pointless. It speaks to employee quality. If that isn’t in any way useful in the context, the question is dumb. It wouldn’t matter how motivated that employee was, so why mention it.

So either quality counts, or layoffs are entirely based on luck, often firing the best of them all. Sounds like you are coping. Quality almost always matters. And the smallest things can save your ass.

Even in a game with odds as bad as the lottery, you still have to play it to win.

In your educated opinion, what are layoffs based on? Can’t be random. So what? Race? Gender? Age? Everything but performance? Because who cares about performance. Just fire someone, Fred. Anyone.

I think that’s called a raspberry pie, essentially.

The question is, how good was he at his job? Ambition and loyalty only goes so far.

Dreh die Antenne nach links, ich krieg nur rauschen hier unten.

It would be white noise, “weißes rauschen”, but nobody ever said the “white” part.

It is just mentioned. Just a description of what happened. What’s wrong about saying it was a white male when it was a white male? Why jump to the opinion that mentioning the gender or complexion has any other purpose than being descriptive?

Possibly because many users coming to Lemmy are pissed off by something. It’s not a platform for fun users, but for grumpy old cats wanting their unachievable utopian discussion forum, where all behave the same as they do. ;)

Criticise lemmy and prepare for downvotes deluxe.

It is not really an alternative. So many people here complaining about quality, and the constant desire for this not to become the new Reddit.

But that’s exactly what it needs to become. A place where mindless users can post the same silly crap every day, without getting shit for it. And without being rattled by entitled mods that feel they should be compensated for doing what they want to do.

Let communities talk and mods just be mods, not critics.

Are they? Do they even have a linux client yet? I’d say they are second class citizens at best.

Some would say that most of the spending is based on greed. Individual salaries doubled to tripled in the last decade, with their head earning three quarters of a million now.

It was a tenth 15 years ago.

They started out right, like they all do. Then personal money catches up.

You tell me? Why bring it up if it wouldn’t work?

But you haven’t, have you?

Come on. He got 200+ vaccine shots. That in itself says he was never fine to begin with.

Well, that’s why you guys are allowed to bear arms, right? In case the cops and government get all crazy? Isn’t that the whole reason for the gun thing? So, go strike. Wait for cops. If they open fire, take them down. Mobilize more people, because the military is next. See what happens. Defend your rights. Don’t just pose around with a shotgun in your truck.

Probably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp.

The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn’t work”

To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.”

Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn’t really make sense. :) How can you fail something you’ve never attempted.

It’s just a figure of speech, I know.

So, not really GtaVC not really running on a router. amazingly useless, too.

Is it possible that the girls wanted to get rid of the father of their friend, spiked their own smoothies, and now an honest man is being pitchforked?

Did that man do anything else than being present? Playing with the girls? Taking part in the sleepover? Did he have the drugs on hand? Did any of the girls have access to that drug at all? Was there a grudge?

How single-sided can this reporting be?

But after reading the initial article, yeah, probably a predator. Still. A thorough investigation should take place. There are well-meaning and involved people who don’t have an interest in abuse. It’s still possible the daughter was sick of her hyper-involved dad, and planned the whole thing. :')

You are right in principle. New words can pop up. Them being accepted however is not just a matter of a few people using them and saying that it is so.

It’s about usage and being accepted in larger groups or areas. Language is defined by what’s surviving a generation or two. Everything else is slang.

That would be spelling it out. For me, just saying it’s wrong, and letting someone find out why, that’s hugely more helpful than spoon-feeding Information.

Who would downvote this? It’s true. It’s helpful. It’s free advice.
