“Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?”

Sounded more like a US operation than a Russian one. I missed the part where russia was mentioned. They mentioned DARPA and the Pentagon.

This is amazing. What’s the actual context? It doesn’t seem to fit the post it is responding to.

I feel deeply the truthiness of that blurb

So they’re disregarding things you explicitly stated “Because…” and inserting assumptions about your intentions that were not stated at all (that you didn’t want to work).

Neurotypicals are so irrational.

Before I even read your post I am inspired to inform you that managers only notice what they see. They won’t notice you quietly taking care of things, they WILL notice if other employees complain to them about you, regardless of the real issue. There’s a saying “make your work visible”, meaning that you should try to take credit for as much as you can. Even if you have to exaggerate a bit, aka “lie”. Once you understand that concept, the behavior of other workers can be better understood.

(Will now read the post and respond if I see need to) Edit: I think the response is already appropriate to the text of the post. You are dealing with exactly the problem I predicted from the title.

You have to work extra hard to overcome documented complaints. Make your work visible. Brag. Be a complete egomaniac. From their perspective that’s normal.

They’re apparently thinking you’re saying that you didn’t agree to work if there are too many patients. Thus the being allowed to not work that ward. They actually fear the union contract and think you’re trying to use it to get out of work.

“That’s someone’s property! You’re hurting the wrong people!”

monkey’s paw moment.

I avoid restaurants that require tipping. When I do have to tip, I give way too much if the service was good. IMO, good service is to not try to talk to me too much, and to be responsive to what I need done (refilling drinks, taking additional requests). Bonus tip if I know they’re overworked and handling it well.

15% floor. Throw an additional $10 sometimes. Always direct to the worker because these places steal tips. Also I tip cooks sometimes.

But I avoid going to these restaurants.

What if they just work 30 hour weeks for twice as many weeks?

Nope. Flat earthers.

State is not the same thing as government

Sawdust pills? What’s actually in it?

Oh, I call it leaping. Quantum leap. It’s been almost 10 years. Decided to settle down and live out this life.

Stingrays are dangerous, but they don’t even need them. In the US our cellular providers are directly accessible by the government without a warrant or probable cause. They get IMSI logs immediately, and they can triangulate off of that alone. This is far worse than a device which anyone could detect using software on their phone.

Stingrays were used extensively by the US in the middle east for service disruption (jamming bombs triggered by cellular) and for targeted assassinations (our missiles lock directly onto the cellphone after the target is identified). Fun stuff! Coming to a place near you!

Just asking questions!

Maybe the democrats need a media apparatus to propagandize people against whatever the republicans want to do 🙄
