And actual pedophiles.

Why would KFC have a witness protection program for chickens? Shouldn’t they be protected from KFC?

Need to get people to bump this higher up. Great take.

Best we can hope for is an overdose

That is, still, to this day, the only book I could not finish.

Got about 2/3rds of the way through it and violently set it down. I love books too much to set it on fire, but I wanted to. It was the worst pile of shit I’ve ever read in my life. Completely divorced from reality.

And she died penniless and depending on the support of the same social services that she demonized in her book to convince people that capitalist leaders are paragons of humanity and the rest of us are just peons.

Yeah, basically that’s what they’re suggesting. Work on strengthening your stabilization muscles.

People use web browsers to do their job. Which requires data storage.

Except for the fact that it makes a bunch of money you mean?

SUPPLIES!

Fuck Larry Ellison.

Now he’s going for super-villainy against people who’ve never even heard of Oracle.

Wouldn’t let me rent when the housing crash hit and I couldn’t afford the place, wouldn’t let me have friends over late at night because they thought my d&d group were a bunch of drug dealers. All around a miserable experience.

Honestly, some two part epoxy smoothed around it and you’d be gtg. And getting high off the fumes it gives off for the next three years…

That’s a fair critique.

The issue comes down to imperialism imo.

Western societies have an imperialist belief that we should be at the head of the table when it comes to the world order, politics, and having a say about what happens outside of our borders.

This is ingrained in all of us from a very young age by design. They’ve been doing it for millennia, and it’s been working pretty well, so no need to change tactics.

It’s also why non-western nation-states aren’t as involved directly in the politics of other nations. It’s not really a part of their ethos as a culture.

Bro. You’re an asshole.

FFS, we don’t need more sun hitting our planet right now, we need less. Much less. Have the mirror reflect sunlight away from the planet. Then it’d be useful

This was literally an “Ask Lemmy” question, which pulls on individual personal experience for responses, so I’m not sure what else you would have been expecting.

I work with MBAs all day every day. Nonstop. They’re the vast majority of my touchpoints as a lifelong software engineer/DBA that manages several teams. I’ve been in the industry for 25+ years and have worked for multiple large (enterprise tier) medium, and small (startup) companies across multiple states including owning my own consulting company and interfaced directly with C-types that held nothing but MBAs.

So, not uninformed, but it is anecdotal. In the sense that this matches my life experience for 25+ years of working closely with MBA types on hundreds of projects during that time. Someone else might have different experiences. But I’m here answering their question so I’m going to talk about my experiences.

There’s plenty of MBA holders that are pragmatic and “normal”. However, at the top level, MBAs either attract, or turn people into narcissistic sociopaths, because the majority of narcissistic sociopaths I know and have worked with, hold MBAs.

Take from that what you will.

Edit: Apparently he took away a downvote. Getting a sneaking suspicion this guy might have an MBA. :) Not sure why you’re downvoting my life experiences, but sure guy. You win.

hahahahahahaahahaha

no

Edit: Rather than being full snark (it was a genuinely funny question though), I’ll give a more thoughtful answer. The reason the answer is no, is because MBAs tend to attract narcissistic sociopaths. And the first thing they do in this situation, is blame someone else, not the degree, but the specific person.

“If only he was a better MBA he would have kept the company focused on its core values”. That sort of thing.

The thing a degree that’s held by the majority of Narcissists and Sociopaths in the world absolutely won’t do, is inflect.

Combat on Atari. My lifelong love of VS games is because of that.

The ACA was intend to support single player health care.

She’s taking the Obama position which, it’s the politically savvy one, if they can get all the measures of the ACA through.

The ACA is what Canada did before transitioning to single payer. That had anyways been the goal of the ACA.

The issue is a lot of Americans are resistant to single payer. They think having only 1 choice is like communism or something.

Which is why the ACA had always been the first step. Obama had said as much, publicly.
