Yeah. Some of them are dumb. But all of them have been fed decades of bullshit “news” and are indoctrinated.

He knows better. It’s an act to make money. It’s all about the real god, Money.

Yeah they started putting ads on the dasher boards a few years ago. There are also ads digitally inserted on the ice.

The tech is pretty cool. When they first started doing it, it would sometimes cut off players, but they seemed to get it settled down within a few months.

I know the /r/hockey sub was really upset about it when it was first implemented, and I was annoyed at first because of the glitches. But now, it’s like…well, now I see these ads instead of those ads…what’s the difference?

and he’ll be equally crazy.

Equally? That seems optimistic. He’ll go even farther off the deep end. Even if he wins, he’ll contest it, because he clearly should have won by a larger margin.

Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.

You’re welcome.

Someone tell my cats!

Had a busy morning and evening, so I decided to try to take a nap for an hour this afternoon. One of our cats laid down on my legs and turned into a warm puddle, albeit after a few minutes of demanding scratches.

Then one of other ones got into “poor, unloved kitty” mode, meowing loudly for no particular reason. I’m told the third one was also making noise, but I didn’t hear that.

Lemmy Explorer will do it…I think. “Newest publish time” sort is what you’re looking for, I think.

After four years of work from home, since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ll soon have to start going back in once a week. I know, that’s a lot better than many people that have been forced into 5 days a week or similar bullshit, but it’s definitely one more day a week than I want to go in. DC area, too, so you know traffic is going to be a nightmare, as always.

I’d even be willing to go in quarterly or whatever for special meetings. But weekly? We’ve proven we can do this.

They’re pushing this whole “hybrid” working and “rethink how you work!” and “it’s all about teams!” But they didn’t require any sort of coordination on coming into the office for teams, or anything along those lines - it’s a free for all. So instead of sitting at home on a call, we’re going to be sitting in cubicles on phone calls. It doesn’t make any sense.

And even if they had decided teams should coordinate in-office days, my area in particular works with so many different teams that we’d still be remote for most of them. Or in the office every day, which would not go over very well.

But I’m sure the Popeye’s (fast food chicken place) across the street will welcome us back. The one that has survived over four years without us. No one I know has ever gone there.

We’re going to lose a bunch of people as a result. And hiring is a disaster that isn’t likely to be resolved any time soon. It’s gonna be a fun few years…

Counting down the days until I can retire. Unfortunately, there are too many, I’ll have to deal with this. Or find a completely remote job.
