They ask your name and you answer incorrect they probably hit you with some death penalty or w/e

If you just need someone to ensure you don't get yourself in worse trouble at an interrogation or bail hearing, you get some hourly rate on a junior attorney at a firm. It's not all that complicated and it's not a commitment/retainer situation.

If you get arrested, you don't get to call a time out so your attorney can research the facts and caselaw involved in your area of criminal law.

Then once stuff proceeds from there you get into lawyer shopping for the big journey ahead.

Hopefully you get Matthew Hardin and not Russell Greer.

How long until we hear Jess shot Guude in the back three times in self defense and labtec just happened to be there to witness it

Ah yes he shot at her and missed

labtec saw it

What was the 10 DVDs thing?

Is the archive hosted?

I thought Guude was funny as a punching bag, like Justin in some of the BW content.

On his own? I probably never watched a gameplay video.

Software and computer engineering are fake professions. If you're not an electrical engineer, your code probably sucks. This is a graybeard joke.

CompSci is what, how to connect to the WiFi and install Windows 11?

How much of your degree was worthless by the time you graduated? I've heard people say (depends on the degree but) half life is about 2 years.

Couldn't you just call that expectation racist or does that not work in Japan?

Dayumn

Peepul say computer and electrical engineering is like 3-5 years on the low end, while civil and mechanical engineering are like 15-30 years on the high end. Faster changing industries so you spend more time in continuing ed.

I don't think that's what I mean. If you need to replace an aging server farm you will have endless arguments about the principles to apply to the decision, because twice a decade new paradigms repudiate the old. Separate storage and compute or HCI, on-prem or cloud, KVM or k8s? With something like civil engineering your parking lot replacement isn't a "throw everything you used to know away" situation. Advancements in technology improve the existing science, they don't dogmatically replace it.

Half life doesn't mean you only learn once every n/2 years. It's the speed at which the value of your knowledge creeps closer to 0.

This full-time, entry-level position will be minimum wage and 32 hours per week. We require a minimum of five years work experience and a bachelors degree. Please provide at least ten references that include no fewer than three previous managers, five college professors, and two of your children. Applicants older than 20 need not apply because you will expect to be valued like a professional and that's just not team spirit.

I have a job where I have largely given up on begging and pleading for stuff to do.

You wanna pay me to sit around, ok. I'll accept the severance package when my role is eliminated in lieu of involuntary termination because I threaten to sue if you don't classify it that way.

Been complaining about it for almost 18 months.

I wish I'd never complained.

I kid you not, I don't even go downstairs and unlock my laptop / activate the physical mouse jiggler anymore.

Clock in, check Slack once in a while to stay green, clock out.

Yep. Should have kept my mouth shut

I decided that I don't want to work for one of these big companies again. Or remote.

So it will involve a complete career restart, whether I leave voluntarily or involuntarily.

I redlined my job description and gave it to HR. I pointed out nothing listed on it is involved in any of our jobs.

So either they'll re-evaluate and identify legitimate business needs for me to fulfill or they won't.

My peers don't know I did it. They'd probably hate me.

My boss asked me to participate in a project where we'd collect common customer requests. I said I don't spend enough time in the ticket queue to know what common requests are. He was confused by that, then started saying something about that needing to be corrected, then asked what I do all day then.

This is the same guy I've spent 9 months telling I have nothing to do. Functional airhead.

So I was kind of forced to go to HR at that point.

Also provided HR a bunch of examples of the guy simply not being present. New on-call system. Don't know how to use it. No one else does either. Wouldn't give info. Got a guy bothering me at bum o'clock in the morning asking me to do his job for him, brought it to my manager three times. Not even a "I'll talk to management." Got a promotion. Waited 100+ days to be excused from my old role and enter my new one. Repeatedly brought it up. HR had to intervene and I transitioned the next week.

Actual trash leader.

I spent the first year or so trying to identify process improvements, write new tools, update existing tools. No one gave a shit, so now neither do I.

I have stopped short of saying it to work but our 20+ person team is mostly solutions seeking problems, and they are largely personal projects with enough lipstick to look work-related.

Example: Customers ask vague questions. It takes us a long time, sometimes nearly an hour, to guess what they want. Some retard (he's not he's just not being wise) says "Here's my AI project to speed up the guessing process." I'm like... why not ask the customer to clarify AND in the proces soft train them to ask better questions in the future? Nah. The AI project will fix it.

I think some people aren't very good systems thinkers? That's my read from working here.

ikr

But people are legit excited by it lmfaooo

Yeah man. It's hard for a human being to produce a correct, complete, and current problem statement.

Another work thing. Guy: Hey <customer> is going to use our API to open about 1000 support tickets to test whether rate limits will be an issue in a real situation. My Manager: sounds good Me (quietly): come the fuck on bro

Doesn't even question stuff

Apparently we rate limit to one ticket per second. My manager: can we override that?

"His assets" you mean the assets you could get in the event of a divorce?

Seems like a lady who doesn't think all that far ahead.
