This. Is. Ridiculous.

While definitely less messy than regular sand, I’m here to tell you that kinetic sand is NOT mess-free. Little clumps of it somehow easily survive in the wilds of the house weeks after it makes an appearance – though multiple vacuumings and dedicated search-and-remove missions.

I fully agree with the importance of this concept (and also the complete fuck limitations of it), but if that’s the point, then the premise should be “building a productive relationship with your boss”, rather than calling it “managing up”, which implies getting your boss to bend in your direction in some shape or form…

You can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day, it’s still just dealing with your boss as-is. Where’s the part that’s anything other than managing yourself – your expectations, your behaviors, your reactions, your perspectives?

Fair enough, but we all know what the author meant and pedantism is the primary food source of trolls.

This advice isn’t “managing up”, it’s finding a way to deal with however your boss is already.

Yes, you’re right – what was I thinking. If you used electric blowers, you might have to go slower, change batteries, or *gasp* touch the leaves! I guess we’re all just fortunate that tree leaves didn’t exist or need to be cleaned prior to gas leaf blowers being invented – what would we have done? Lord, we thank you…

Yes, because bad things can always be seen. Take a chemistry class.

Don’t ever buy a Samsung refrigerator. Ever. If you do, mark my words, you’ll regret it.

You just took it to the next level!

I’ll refer you to the post I just made about Disney World...

The point is that raw flour isn’t exactly NOT safe. Romaine lettuce has proven to be a far greater threat, and the number of deaths at Disney World during the same time period leaves it in the dust (35!). How many people are going to be canceling their next family vacation with that new tidbit of info? (https://safer-a…

Since 2006 (the farthest the CDC web site went back) there have been two E. coli outbreaks due to flour in the US – one in 2016 with 63 cases, 17 hospitalizations, and 0 deaths, and one in 2019 with 21 cases 3 hospitalizations, and o deaths.

Thanks for the context. That, however is FAR from the takeaway presented by the author.

Also, Van Wilder.

Doesn’t have to be a free lunch (yes, I had to look up that acronym) – you could easily pay for it with all of the money spent on scanners and TSA agents that you would no longer need. You could probably pay for it off of the budget for those retractable belt barriers alone.

I accept your endorsement of my candidacy for President, but you still seem to be missing one of my core points – that if there’s actual benefit to the programs (which you sometimes seem to be saying), then everyone should be able to share in that benefit without having to line somebody’s pockets and create yet…

Not sure anyone’s going to be able to smell the ass of my opinions when yours are stinking up the whole place.
