From this day forward, I will now refer to Ukraine as "The Ukraine region of Russia" to acknowledge that Russia invaded yesterday :liberalism:
Bit idea
Bruce Willis is in his nth straight-to-video movie. It's called I'm a Cop. The movie starts with Willis at a diner. He's flirting with a waitress half his age. He tells her "I'm a cop," and gets shot dead on the spot. He's on screen for less than a minute.
I'm driving to the beach tomorrow and I'm too excited to sleep :meow-bounce:
Is it me, or does this Russia situation reflect really fucking badly on Biden? Like, here's the US claiming Putin will invade, but instead in some 4d chess move he recognizes their sovereignty and waits for the leaders of those regions to call for Russian assistance. I could not have come up with this shit, lmao.
i like shaun of the dead it's a good film
i've been playing project zomboid with my fremds and dying a lot
i can't really compare with how it used to be - i played it for the first time yesterday - but i'm having a great time with it! idk what the difficulty used to be like, but the game is unbelievably brutal and i really love that
Fuck pr*sidents day, but if it's gonna be a thing at least my shitty company should give the day off :meow-tableflip:
Well I tell u one thing: this bitch will not be productive today out of protest :soviet-huff:
Not only that I'm old enough to remember when they had different days off for different presidents. Guess working is more patriotic than fireworks nowadays.
claim it's your religion to worship rich, white men once a year. seems like something they should believe.
I drove to work and found out it's closed for War Criminals Day. :angery:
Guess I'll spend the day fucking around with Godot and still not reading my e-mails.
My god tinder is awful. I downloaded it today and I already want to revert to monke. It's so vapid, after I used it I immediately had to go watch Yugopnik's video on the commodifaction of love. Everyone posts the same, clean, inoffensive pictures and you're supposed to swipe based solely on if you think someone is hot or not
Also the commercialisation is ridiculous, you have to pay to see who "liked" you? What the fuck is the point? I'm giving this goddamn app until tomorrow, if anyone interesting matches me then I guess it might have been useful, if not I'm deleting it forever
I want to help a reactionary coworker become a better person and I'm not sure how. He's socially awkward, definitely had a sheltered upbringing, but seems like he's desperate for human connection that comes off as creepy at times but I don't think he has any nefarious intent. A female coworker even said she feels bad for him.
He's like the prime target for falling down the incel to fash pipeline.
My current thoughts are that I should pull him into my organizing effort and teach him why I do the things that I do and how to have solidarity with and not alienate lgbt comrades at work.
I'm used to radicalizing libs so this is sort of new ground for me.
Something I do when talking to people is the "soft disagree" (a term i just now coined). If someone starts talking about some bullshit, I try to agree with as much as I can (i.e. yes Democrats do suck, etc,) and then disagree with a sort of "well MAYBE that's the case BUT". I'm not sure if this helps but here it is.
That reminds me of a management technique taught in retail and middle management office jobs: praise, criticize, praise.
You did X well but here's something that needs to be done differently, but also we appreciate Y.
Also I'm hopeful because this person seems to look up to me even though he's very new, I guess I give off a vibe of "person to aspire to" despite not having my own shit together in the slightest.
This sandwich approach can often come off as fake, if you really have to give someone criticism on something important it can be good to have a quick face to face meeting where you outline the problem, listen to possible causes and ask for suggestions for improvement with some followup later.
It turns out that being sincere and actually caring about people is the best way to manage people.
