Big Bosses later ask middle managers: “Why is turnover so high? Are you not fostering a fun environment?” The 40 % raise for job hopping is a real mystery.

With my luck, I would only get my surgically removed wisdom teeth back.

All government contractors have to be “woke” to get the contracts. I am surprised the alt right isn’t blaming the government for ruining defense contractors with mandatory DEI (I jest, they definitely are).

When Ministry for the Future starts to happen sooner than expected… poor people

Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.

I am reminded of Dan Quayle’s “I took Latin in high school.” Offered as proof that he could relate to the Latino community.

Another example of why Threads should be required viewing for all politicians.

Vscode is my favorite. Now there is a sentence I never expected to type.

I just like usleep better than nanosleep.

In other news, 2023 broke 2022 record for most carbon emissions ever. 2024 will break that record again. Renewable energy is just added to the energy we consume. No displacement on a global level (if some country uses less, the oil companies just sell it to the next eager market). We won’t see meaningful declines in emissions until the population begins to fall instead of grow, crops fail from climate chaos (starving us), and most importantly we begin to run out of carbon to burn. I fully expect to see solar-powered oil wells extracting oil that would otherwise have a negative EROI.

The other bad news is that completely displacing oil would require more of various non-renewable resources than exist on Earth. To get where we need to go, we will need a decline in lifestyle, and covid already demonstrated how unwilling many are to that concept (staying home and wearing masks to save lives was too much of a burden for many).

I am going to buy a subscription for a little while just so I can ask it to code Roko’s Basilisk for me.
