Mister Potter, your imbecilic actions have made the sesh worse for everyone. You are supposed to corner the bowl, not torch the whole top.

I guess having naked concubines walk on your back is out of the picture. Seems weirdly self-limiting, but you do you.

FWIW, I am not strictly vegan, but the vast majority of my meals are. And I am actually lactose intolerant. I do actually like the taste of a really cold glass of whole milk. And ice cream is amazing. If I am having some kind of spread, I prefer real butter to the fake stuff. Dairy is delicious. I just try to minimize my intake and only buy from the farms that spend the most on animal welfare.

Once I learned about how the cows are constantly pregnant in order to produce that milk, and the calves are separated post birth, etc etc, I’m pretty milk racist, tbh.

One time worked in an office building with a pretty shitty floor on the second floor. Wouldn’t have surprised me if it wasn’t really all that structurally sound, because I could bounce my leg, just like I am doing right now, and the dude sitting next desk over could feel it in the floor. I ended up moving to another desk to avoid the conflict with the coworker… and in case the building was shitty enough that it was a weak spot in the floor.

Brave? Dude probably can taste it while feeling like a corndog

It is somewhat difficult to source N2 that hasn’t been adulterated as a consumer now. They do the same thing with He2. I’m with shotgun sammich dude. My retirement plan definitely involves my mouth watering for bullets.

Since 2013, about the time the american’s solidified their control over the company, from what I remember working there then. Gee, what a coincidence.

Nobody expects the Mothquisition

it has always looked light blue-ish, like a periwinkle, and gold to me, as well

Phrasing?

When this happens, I feel like this

Title: Deep in Mordor where the shadows lie: Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google

The blog post “Deep in Mordor where the shadows lie: Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google” details the author’s disillusionment with Google after working there in 2007. Initially drawn to Google’s progressive image, they experienced overwork, underpayment, and a stifled culture that belied its promises – particularly regarding “20% time.” Attempts to voice employee dissatisfaction were met with management backlash, exposing a stark divide between full-time staff and exploited temps/contractors. This experience sparked a political awakening, revealing the inherent cruelty of capitalism and the moral compromises of working for a company built on surveillance and profit. The post critiques Google’s practices and, more broadly, systemic injustice, detailing a personal journey of realizing and resisting exploitation.

You’re extra sensitive to reading the minds of non-human animals and can’t turn it off. All the time. Forever.

to both continue gifting grifting investors and for broader PR.

But maybe it is indeed gifting investors something, say a pile of bullshit

It was indeed a joke. Appian is a “low/no-code” platform (that surprisingly requires quite a bit of code) used to build shitty customer service workflows. It is tailored for non-technical people and sold as a cost effective solution to clueless executives. It is the kind of software solution that body shops like infosys, accenture, etc love because they can load up lots of low skill people on the project (but charge the client as if they were higher skilled). The result of this arrangement is mediocre at best. Additional changes or scope creep drags out these kinds of projects. Because the system was built with low-skill there aren’t the same considerations given for readability, extensibility and all of the other good software development practices that enable future velocity. Again, another win for the body shops as they can’t deliver the changes the client wants fast enough. So now there is this parasitic body shop attached at your company’s hip after Appian is deeply ingrained into your business processes. It is exactly the kind of penny-wise, pound foolish thinking (“I can hire lots of non-engineers for one engineers salary!”) that ends up costing way more in the long run.

TL;DR: Appian is a wage suppression grift.

Unrelated tangent on the Appian software: It is exactly your solution if you have a five person job, but need to employ 30
