What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often? in c/asklemmy

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

Do you think Taylor Swift's life inspired the Hanna Montana show, or the show gave Taylor Swift a template to follow, or is it a Jungian archetype that inevitably occurred because history was ready? in c/[email protected]

Jung's work is too derivative. If you want to be taken seriously, coach it in terms of Freud's theories.

even if this specific example were, the law of large numbers means there's a very high likelihood that at least one person really holds this attitude.

I think you said the unspoken part out loud.

The Witcher author says he's never played the games that cemented his fame: "I have no time for this, and it's not entertainment for me" in c/[email protected]

they've probably earned him more than a couple of dollars, too, just from people wanting to read the source material.

and I doubt there would have been a Netflix series without the games.

I'm just sad that plasma weapons are essentially a no-go in an atmospheric environment...

How thr fuck do I force/ lobby my local council to implement acceptable public transport into my town in c/fuckcars
[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

step 1: give them money.
step 2: make them think you'll give them more money. this may involve repeating step 1 several times.
step 3: let them know that if you don't get what you want, the money stops.

then it's just a matter of whether the money you were giving them is significant enough to make them care.

How do i judge if something is above my pay grade? At what point should i simply tell my boss, you aren't paying me to do this? (kbin.social)
 

The place i work in doesn't have an actual onsite manager, it's just me and my coworker. He's more physically capable, but computers are a foreign language to him; i can handle the physical work, but I'm slower than he is, but I'm much much better with computers.

Because of this it feels like I've become the DeFacto manager, or at least the person who gets lumped with the jobs that a manager or administrator would typically be assigned. Ì haven't checked yet if my contact explicitly states that these are amongst my duties, but i would guess not, and my job title "records management specialist" is a bit ambiguous.

Recently I'm being asked to do logistical work that i feel is above what could really be expected of someone in a ground-level, hands on position. But i can't say with certainty that it's not stuff that's reasonable to expect of someone in my position, and that it's not just that i don't want to do it.

Why do employers love spreadsheets so fucking much? (kbin.social)
 

Through the start of the day i was cleaning up the towering piles of loose files in my office, entering them into our system and signing them locations to be refiled to. My boss called me up and told me to stop doing that, just create him a spreadsheet showing the data on them.

That's not easier. It's not quicker. It's not more helpful, especially to me and the other guy who works with me here. Entering the details into the system basically just requires scanning a barcode and copy-pasting some numbers, then typing out a sort sequence I've helpfully appended to each file already. Putting them in a spreadsheet required drawing up a table, scanning the barcodes, then i had to manually type out the details i had already written for each file. It just felt like such a pointless exercise, especially since i still have to go through the process i detailed before at some future date.

Okay, rant over.
