People in John's Creek wish they could afford property in Buckhead. It's a big area (more than one neighborhood), but parts of it are neighborhoods with names like "Tuxedo Park" that contain legitimate mansions, including the governor's mansion. People like Tyler Perry and Elton John live there. You get the idea.

Haha, get fucked, Buckhead.

(For reference, that's where the rich assholes live.)

But also fuck Waymo, of course.

"Gender transition treatments" or puberty blockers? Because actively causing the transition to one gender and merely blocking the development of the other one (to stall for time until the real decision can be made as an adult) are not the same thing.

A huge part of the absurd hysteria about all this is based on misrepresenting a non-decision as a decision.

Allowing children to be treated with puberty blockers is the conservative course of action, not the radical one.

Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most?

I think it's because JavaScript devs have a more promiscuous culture of code reuse than most. In what other language community would something like left-pad justify being its own package?

Excuse me, but !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world is a different community.

Ideally, sure, but being motivated by spite is better than not being motivated at all.

Yeah, I was gonna say, that sounds more being paid an hourly rate (at sub-livable wage, BTW) and $0 commission.

You gotta have some mechanism to let low performers go.

That's called "firing for cause."

Of course, that actually has accountability attached to it. Misusing layoffs for that purpose is an end-run around that accountability, which is why sociopathic corporations prefer it.

Implementing additional forms of wankery in the "Metaverse".

If a company does layoffs, they should not be allowed to hire any staff in the same or similar roles for 12 months.

Either that, or the laid-off workers should get right of first refusal for the positions. (Along with some additional incentive for the company not to game it.)

Right, and that's what's going to have to change: a bigger focus on things like in-person tests (including in-person bluebook essays), oral presentations/thesis defenses instead of other project deliverables, etc.

¿Por que no los dos?
