Maybe, but Gina is the low-key genius of the group.

Never thought Id say that, but I rewatched the series recently and was surprised at how many times she fooled everyone or even saved the day through her awareness and insight.

Really? I feel like its super hamfisted whenever they do a gina saves the day thing

Like was there anything cringier than hiring the kid who "hacked" the station to run their IT?

Seems likely it has to match for the same reasons DoB and name have to match

It is really unfortunate, and hopefully something that can be corrected after initial processing, but i think assigning malice to the bureaucracy is just looking for a reason to be outraged

Y'all use power automate for anything?

I keep meaning to get into it - so no, but probably soon

We are digging into Power BI lately, if Power Automate can help connect some of the pieces thatd be great

Idk exactly what you mean by "science" in this context

But for math and CS:

I 'need' math maybe once every few months to get through a white paper so i can build something implementing the concepts. Usually no more than some algebra, but some light calculus every now and then.

Light statistics are pretty much constant. Real simple stuff though - ntiles, std, etc, but i have found excuses to do some modeling a few times

Comp Sci stuff: im not a software dev, so none is needed. But i am almost always working on a python script to automate something analyze a larger dataset... this is usually something i do to be better at my job, but it isnt required.

Idk if thats what you were looking for

You are supposed to turn over counterfeit bills to the police or secret service. Most likely the police though.

Of course not, somebody else purchases it and lets them live there for only the cost of maintenance and repairs.

Hell, they won't even charge anything if the tenant covers maintenance and repairs themselves. Or better yet, they can just not and let the owner deal with it themselves when the tenant leaves.

Why would they do that?

I could see a shut-in NEET being a good programmer or some other field. They aren't lost causes.

Is this based on anything other than programmers are nerds, and neets are nerds, so neets must be good programmers?

Bullshit comparison then honestly, no validity to the thread. Why wouldn't you compare the two in the generation that both existed?

Because eq1 and WoW were the most popular of their respective generations. Eq2 vs WoW is a pointless comparison because we already know EQ2 was an objective flop

I can empathize that its difficult to value the objectivity of due process when public evidence is so blatantly damning, but due process important to enforce consistently

Cant wait to see this guy get locked up, i am surprised he made bail, and i dont really think him getting yelled at is a big deal

But the number of people who want to throw due process out the window in favor of mob justice is depressing

I can understand why people would be commending a cop for not beating someone to death at this point in time to be honest. It's fucked up, but I can understand it. It's because we expect a cop to just straight up beat and kill someone over a minor thing. We've been conditioned to expect that because that is seemingly what they do. When a cop doesn't do that and actually behaves calmly and the way he should, we're like holy shit, he didn't beat and kill the protester! Amazing! Commendable! Good job!

It's fucked up, as I said, but I understand it.

I dont think thats it

Personally, i dont think i could handle the abuse that guy is getting. I dont think i would start shooting, but i do think i would either leave the situation or get riled up myself

I think there is a dissonance when you demand a huge amount of emotional fortitude from cops (as we should, they have a lot of power and need to show restraint even when its hard) while simultaneously brushing it off as unworthy of any praise at all.

It doesnt excuse cops who dont live up to those standards to acknowledge when someone does a difficult job well.

I'm sorry but "not attacking people who hate you" isn't on the same level of saving someones life vi surgery, but ok.

I guess im not trying to imply the same magnitude of accomplishment, but the same degree of risk taken in order to do your job

I also think its worth highlighting that the laser pointer going after his eyes and smoke blowing in a pandemic does constitute a real danger to the officer

no one is saying you can't applaud a cop for choosing the profession and treating it respectfully

I never said anyone was saying that. In fact, i didnt really assert anything besides drawing an implicit parallel to other professions that tend to get public recognition

TheVipaGTS posted...

2 things, becoming a teacher or doctor takes far more training and commitment than becoming a cop.

I am surprised that the amount of training is the differentiator for you - lots of professions require more training, but dont generally merit public gratitude.

TheVipaGTS posted...

And this is akin to praising a doctor for performing a checkup. its the bare minimum. You're not going to see articles or videos talking about "I went to the doctor for a check up. he checked my vitals and then i went home. LORD PRAISE HIM!", because that's the bare minimum. When we get to the point where people feel the need to praise that it means we have a bigger problem if the bare minimum is seen as incredible.

I think i disagree with that analogy. Getting berated by a crowd without flinching, while part of the job description, is far from routine even for police. Theres also a threat to his personal well being that does not exist for the doctor.

@TheVipaGTS how do you feel about this analogy? ( and let me preface by acknowledging that it is imperfect, and that i probably faiked to describe the circumstances of the angry crowd without using any biased language)

A cop performing a routine speeding ticket without incident deserves recognition in the same way as a doctor performing a checkup (ie not really any)

A doctor performing surgery on a covid 19 patient deserves recognition in the same way as a police officer maintaining his composure in the face of an aggressive mob that specifically hates police.

this is a good take

but unfortunately there is no possibility of UBI being implemented in any other way. the push for UBI is coming from a neoliberal direction. they'll likely use it as an opportunity to cut other social programs too.

another way of thinking about it: giving $1000 each to four tenants is effectively giving $4000 to their landlord. providing housing (and food, and other essential services) directly would solve this problem in a way that giving people money cannot

You just described how giving people money could cover food and essential services

If anything it will be more effective because people can spend it proportionate to what they need, and with less of it being diverted to administrative costs

The problem is half of CE cant separate "were they poisoned?" from "is it fucked up if they were?"

"Were they poisoned?" No

"Would it be fucked up if they were?" Yes, and you lose any moral high ground if you disagree, regardless of the injustices perpetrated by police.

You all are ridiculous lol.
Money much better spent on a vacation or swimming pool or some shit.

We got a guy to wed us at our home with no guests. It was a nice intimate thing without having to worry about everyone else and their mother.
I think it was just a couple hundred dollars or so to pay the guy and the government costs.

I love when people smugly brag about how they didnt spend money on a wedding

Thats great, but if someone can afford to and wants to throw a big party for their friends and family there is no need to be a shit about it

About $20k for 110 people

We cheaped out on some stuff (dj/cake/clothes) but balled out on food and a good photographer

We were lucky to have our first choice in venue be pretty cheap

iirc it was like $10k or so for the caterer, $3k for photographer, $2k venue, the rest was smaller stuff

Btw: find a caterer that will serve booze that you buy. We did a trip to a nearby state with cheaper booze, served only beer and wine, and got everyone tipsy for <$500.

Like I personally agree it's not fair to call you racist for it, but if you think that higher density helps minority families and you prefer keeping your woodsy neighborhood character that's still not great!

If i vote against zoning restrictions but personally root for them, where do i stand morally

I think thats a fair balance between self advocacy and doing what is right for my neighboring communities

i guess extra-full disclosure: i'm skeptical of too many multifamily houses in the area because i know that i would be upset if one popped up in my backyard. i enjoy the nature and wildlife around my house, and since i've invested pretty much all of my wealth into living here, i would be stuck with it.

i think it is unfair to be labeled a racist because i want the woodsy area that i saved up to live in to continue to be woodsy, but i don't think i can have confidence in my preference until i've fully explored & understood the impact on minorities. i could be wrong and change my mind.

I would love to see some trailer parks in town though.
