Hilarious that you actually think billionaires are being loving, good parents by pinky-swearing that they’re not leaving “the bulk” of their fortunes to their kids. They’re all still leaving their children gobs of money (almost certainly via trusts and other mechanisms to make sure their kids will be financially…

Yes, this is Lifehacker, with the motto “Do everything better”, and which regularly runs features exploring whether popular ‘hacks’ are stupid. This is Evil Week, not Stupid Shit That May Blow Up In Your Face Week. The problem with this article isn’t the ethics.

Asking for college transcripts is one way that companies pretend they’re not engaged in age discrimination.

There are lots of jobs and workplaces that would be exceptions. “It’s okay to lie because I personally don’t think you would get in trouble” is terrible advice.

“With the exception of positions within academia, I have never heard of this number being verified during the job interview process”

Besides all the other fuckery, it’s unbelievable that they only offered English and Spanish. Both San Francisco and Alameda County have large populations of Chinese (mostly Cantonese) and Vietnamese speakers.

That’s fair, I’m just noting it’s a political skill he completely fucking lacks. (One of many.)

A+ cat photo!

Being a Republican is declaring membership in and allegiance to a political party. And the Republican Party has completely abandoned any pretense of being anything other than an apparatus dedicated to Trump. It didn’t even have a party platform this year. So I’m sorry it hurts, but this is no longer a question of…

Yes, but at the non-local level, you need to learn to dogwhistle a little. Dude has much higher ambitions politically and he’s too fucking stupid to lay the necessary pipe.

He’s not up against a woman this time. He’s up against another old white dude.

And then you have to sit around waiting for half an hour? You could get a faster and better result using a microwave to cook both the egg and bacon and drop them into a toasted roll. 

It is only to be expected that those fascist hacks couldn’t even offer up a decent breakfast-sandwich recipe.

Wow, way to take a big, ableist shit on all the wheelchair users who don’t use that as an excuse to be misogynist, gropey creeps. There’s no need to use your friend’s understandable frustration as a fig leaf for rape apology.

Different BSA, I believe. Which is why the article should have explained that, instead of just copying a PR notice.

PEBCOCK

He’s been divorced four times.

Y’know, this is someone who bragged about how he didn’t care if smoking gave him cancer, and then was shitting on other people with illnesses before his prognosis turned back. He obviously didn’t think he was really terminal and that he was going to beat it and continue to be a smug prick, and only now is it setting…

“Mistakes and poor judgment” covers a lot of territory. This wasn’t someone forgetting to mute his mic while eating potato chips on a Zoom call. It really is possible to say that some bad decisions are far shittier than others and to think poorly of people who make them.

Would be nice if the article explained what BSA stands for and briefly what it is?
