That’s what I don’t get though, these people seem to be delusional in that they think that they’re a hard worker and looooove in person, so therefore every hard worker loves in person and the chaff will quit. Then they act shocked when their high performers largely leave to pursue remote or hybrid options. It’s such a glaring inability to see people different from them as having any value.

True, but I guess I miss the days when you walked into GW and saw the big 3: WHFB, 40K, and LotR. I mean of course there was Blood Bowl, Killteam, etc on the sidelines, but now it’s sad to see LotR on the sidelines too :/

Dude same. I was sad when that died.

Well a couple things, if possible I call ahead and see if anything can be modified, and if not I find some reason to bail. If it’s spontaneous, I benefit from, frankly, being a pretty heteronormative man so I can always manage to get beer and a large side. I really only have to let people know ahead of time if it’s some kind of work event, in which case the staff member in charge of us attending the event handles it but I’m not in that situation a lot. Of course, most of the time I’m eating it with people who already know me well so they already know I’m vegan.

I realize the irony in this opening statement, but as someone who’s been vegan a long time and never brings it up unless directly asked I can say that this people who are vocal about it tend to be the new vegans who are gonna drop out in six months because they just so happened to have a 1 in 6,000,000,000 person medical condition that makes it literally impossible for them to be vegan, which they discovered for the first time right after bbq season started back up. Definitely not just because they have a different outlook now, no sir.

Ghost in the Shell called it thirty years ago.

That’s absolutely not true, you can be convicted of attempting crimes or for conspiracy to commit crimes.

It takes fewer seconds for assholes like you to fuck off though, sooooooo…

Yeah I actually tried beehaw initially but they never dealt with my application, so after a whole I just went with Lemmy.world.

No he doesn’t realize that, the Foxosphere hasn’t adopted that position yet.

Not sure about other states, but in my state you can agree to mandatory arbitration for past incidents as long as they don’t do reeeeeally egregious behavior like, eg, slipping a notice into your normal bills and having you “agree” by not objecting within X days.

Every American lawyer: “Lol that’s cute.”
