Or, you could change the culture of your workplace by ensuring that the people who have other things they need to, or just would rather do, outside of work hours aren’t made to feel like second class citizens because they don’t attend your little happy hours.

Here is what I want from the new Firefox. I want it to look exactly like the old Firefox, to be able to do everything I currently do exactly as I currently do them, but just be faster. Just fix the speed, don’t touch look of it at all.

HR is there to protect the company. NOT the employees. Everything HR does is to protect the company. From trying to keep things quiet, to dealing with things swiftly (regardless of the outcome,) you name it, HR is trying to prevent lawsuits and actions against the company. Employees that cause trouble, especially in…

Am I missing something? Didn’t he have consensual interactions with those other individuals? If he cheated on his wife that should be between the parties involved.

Just because people obsess over “real” sports stars personal lives, does not mean that whatever these esports people should be obsessed over as well. Both…

I mean, San Junipero is “Happy” but it’s still freakishly dark when you actually think about that ending. Both characters are dead. One of them decided to give up their convictions and live forever. It’s really disturbing and human and that’s what makes it so strong.

I always thought you’d end up as Jizzmodo.

Describing how Twitch can take technical lessons from the porn industry just reaffirms that the porn industry is always, always at the forefront of technology. No exceptions.

He’s a textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People with this disorder have an incredibly fragile ego and require constant reassurances of their greatness. And *only* greatness will do. NPD people have poor impulse control, are unable to tell flattery from truth, and fly into rages (sometimes very…

I used to think “opportunism”.

Carry ons are a big part of the problem (boarding and exiting). I’ve been travelling by plane for over 40 years now and the as the amount of s&*t people carry goes up the process for getting on and off gets slower and uglier.
