Last month, Wells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen employees for using tools that fake productivity at work.
Wells Fargo has approximately 194K employees as of May 2024
So 0.006% of their employees?

I have to imagine there are times they come across a bill collector or someone either doesn’t know their job or just doesn’t give a shit and lets them off the hook.
You’re working at Comcast in the collections department, you’re having a shitty day and an envelope full of legal looking papers comes across your desk saying to void a $300 bill? Fuck it, push the ‘void’ button and on to the next one, who cares.
I’d guess Heart Shaped Box and About a Girl, for starters
I just checked back and that picture is gone from the article. It had a crowd of people with 4 or 5 if them holding up signs on what looked like printer paper with messages like “protect our students” but the signs and fonts looked unnaturally crisp, almost like a meme template
I don’t agree with his Bart-killing policy… but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy
Why does the picture in that article look so fake? Is it just the lighting? The signs look like a terrible photoshop
“We want tourists that come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come for sex.” Hamat Bah, Gambia’s minister of culture and tourism, also stated in a television interview: “If you want a sex destination, you go to Thailand”; a statement for which he later had to apologize
Wild comment
I fully hear you and I liked talking about it. Your rant was the perfect spot for me to get out that same aggression and counter-rant.
And it’s important to put these unpopular opinions out there and fight it out. Sometimes I google “does anyone else hate this popular shit?” and it’s annoying when I can’t find other people with the same takes.
you’d have to tell all the people who believe the show WAS “a show about nothing” and think that’s AWESOME.
Who are these people? Show me. You’ve got an image in your mind of some blithering idiot who drools over the show strictly because “it’s a show about nothing” and that makes you mad. Can’t really argue with a strawman like that, but if you ever come across them rest assured they’re wrong in their premise and feel good about yourself
People like Seinfeld because it’s a light sitcom that can make a majority of them laugh at the situations it’s characters get into. Nothing more.
I’m not going to get into the whole rant, you think what you want, this is the place for that. But it wasn’t pitched as “a show about nothing”, that was an arc in the show but it’s not at all what the actual theme of the show is
In a Reddit AMA, Seinfeld revealed how he and David really pitched the sitcom to NBC. The actor noted, “The pitch for the show, the real pitch, when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material. The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later.” That’s exactly what the show is, and for the first seven seasons, every episode sees Jerry performing stand-up comedy, making jokes based on exactly what that particular episode is about

So don’t worry so much about the show being about nothing. It’s a sit-com.
I’m going to guess in most parts of the world heating water is a bigger expense vs getting clean water.
You could choose to feel guilty about wasting heat energy, or just enjoy it knowing the energy had already been spent heating the water for you to enjoy. But screw fresh water! Waste away! It’ll stay in the water cycle
I put up a job posting for my construction company last year and I had applicants from all over the world. Probably 60% from my city, 20% from my province but nowhere near me, and 20% from other countries.
I wouldn’t want or expect anyone to move for this job, let alone from the other side of the world. I manually rejected people who were too far away, but I can definitely understand wanting to filter out people based on their home address
I’ve noticed the same, and it’s horrifying when you think about the cost of all those ads and how it’s mostly funded by people with gambling problems
Oh, ok then
Think of it more like you’re meeting a new friend, you’re just hanging out and taking. Would it be a problem for someone to ask about your time in Mexico in a social setting?
Nah, school does count. I’ve given dozens of interviews, I usually don’t worry about having every month accounted for. School is fine, taking a few months and living off savings is fine too. If I’m going to have to work with this person I want someone cool, I’d respect someone taking time off for themselves.
6 months in Spanish school is a perfect explanation, a few years in Mexico though, you literally just glossed over years of your life. Are you younger and you were living with family? Were you running drugs for a cartel? The former is fine, the latter would be a red flag.
They just want to know what you’ve been up to, if you refuse to account for years of your life that’s weird, I don’t know why that’s such a problem
How do you define ‘corporate’ ownership? If you can own 100 properties as an individual, does that count as ‘corporate’?
It’s how you report the income. A corporation pays corporate tax rate on profit. An individual pays income tax. If someone wants to pay the individual income tax on 100 properties, that’s awesome. 33% over 250k. Corporate tax rate can easily be half of that.
Plus filing your taxes is waaaaaay easier having a corp hold all the assets and generating revenue, and the individual as an employee who draws a salary. If you’re just an individual with 100 properties and you get audited, you’re in for a bumpy ride trying to pick apart personal vs rental purchases
That’s what I mean by running some framing horizontally, put a new set of studs horizontally over top the existing studs. Thermal bridging is the ease that the cold moves through your framing. On frosty mornings you can sometimes see where the trusses are on a roof up because the cold moves more easily through the stud vs the insulation. More info on that here. You have 2 options once you install the baffles, either nail a 2x3 directly over the existing rafters to make the wall 1.5" deeper giving room for insulation + baffle, or run the new framing horizontal. Horizontal makes insulating much harder but it gives a bit of a thermal break from the interior drywall to the rafter touching the exterior roof deck.
Baffles will do it If you’re willing to do the work, and based on the fact you’re already ripping holes in walls, I guess you might be
Tear out the wall, baffles against the roof deck in each cavity. At the ridge you’ll need ventilation for the air to escape, ridge venting or otherwise. I’d add 2x3s or 2x4s running horizontally on 16s. You could also just lay them all overtop the existing rafters but if you’ve gone to this point you might as well do it horizontal to avoid the thermal bridging. Laying over top is easier to insulate, up to you. Next insulate, then vapor barrier. I’d use acoustic sealant at the perimeter of your vapor barrier, it’s sticky messy stuff but will help immensely with warm air leakage
I don’t think there’s anything inherent in construction that is causing a higher suicide rate. Construction labourer is a job just about anyone can get and male dominated.
I’ve hired some people who seemed like they weren’t in a great place. It’s low skill and it doesn’t hurt to take a chance on someone and hope the stability will help get them on the right track.
I haven’t had any coworkers take their own lives, but I could see someone at the end of the rope being more likely to find a job on a construction site instead of a dentists office
