This is the way I do it. I still hear about everything, I just don’t need to seek it out. And I still feel very informed enough to vote.

Remember that if you’re an American citizen, you can make this happen. Never assume it’ll happen without your vote.

Exactly. I find that I sign the back of checks and write brief sentences in birthday cards. Neither of those feel like they’ll be around for a lot longer.

Fair enough. Most people don’t encounter analog clocks anymore. And many of us have smart watches or phones where we check the time. Since I have a non-analog watch, I don’t find I ever look at analog clocks anymore. If it’s in a room, I just don’t notice it. Growing up, it was important to know, but now I just never have a use for it. Learning is important, but there are so many more interesting and useful things to learn.

You could also make an argument about automatic or manual cars. Sure, we could teach our kids how to drive manual, but why? Most cars are automatic. If they want to have a manual car, they can learn. Otherwise it’s just a useless skill.

There are fewer and fewer applications for writing, but it’s still more important than reading an analog clock.

I actually agree with you. I can read an analog clock, but what worth is the skill? Most clocks are digital, and it gives me nothing more to read an analog one. People downvoting you is just silly. Some skills are allowed to die out if they add no value in modern life.

That’s alright, it happens all the time. It’s not so bad….

And I say, way-hey-hey, it’s an ordinary day. And it’s all your state of mind. At the end of the day, you just have to say “it’s alright.”

It’s not the end of the world. There’s no need to run runaway.

So… they saved the land, not the people. It’s like cutting employee salaries to avoid a takeover from another company. Don’t worry everyone… we “saved” you.

It also ignores that taxes were actually LOWERED on tea just before the Boston Tea Party. This made it so taxed tea was cheaper than smuggled tea and people would be paying that tax without getting representation. Thus, the whole reason for fighting.

Sometimes you can get therapy covered through health insurance. It’s worth checking, because therapy can be really helpful, even just for having someone to share stresses with. I hope you’re able to find someone!

The programmer in me definitely noticed the formatting issue.

For the record, my name isn’t actually Mike Smith.

It won’t happen like that. Leadership will just under-hire and expect all their developers to be way more efficient. Working will be really stressful with increased deadlines and people questioning why you couldn’t meet them.

I’ve heard this a million times.

That’s why we want passionate people. If they’re not passionate about the product, they’ll just leave us for somewhere that pays more.

So… pay more?

Why should you stay when we don’t pay competitively? We have difficult problems to solve.

Sure, will my landlady accept that as legal tender? Because they also have those at the other company.

I prefer them to not be enjoying it, nor taking it lightly that I’m losing my income and I’ll be struggling over the next series of months to make ends meet.

Right. This is what I see in the quote. No one, in my entire life, has ever simply offered me an amazing opportunity. I’ve had to apply, interview, fight for that opportunity.

Who is getting opportunities handed to them they’re not qualified for? What world does this guy live in?

Or proportional representation

Looks more like Slade Wilson (Deathstroke), but more people would get your reference so I like it more.
