My employer told us all the rumours were true. Layoffs were happening. They called it "difficult conversations" instead of firings.

About 1/5th of a team of 1000 people.

Apparently they hadn't decided who yet.

Meanwhile we just received the biggest bonus in the companies history due to historic profits.

Then the CEO told investors that they expect a big pickup early next year and will need to hire a bunch of people to handle the demand.

So they are firing a bunch of people for 6 months to hit financial targets in the back half of the year before hiring people again.

Everyone that is to be fired is still waiting to find out who will be axed.

Ok so I turned off sentry mode last night after posting my last reply.

12hrs later the battery is down 1%.

Need to make sure that sentry mode is off at home.

I don't know when I'll have another chance to test this on mine but thanks.

The real problem is the stupid mirrors can't turn out far enough to be of any use. They just look at the side of the car which is utterly useless.

Mirrors need to be able to jack right out. In my ute I can see 2 lanes over and read the number plate of cars inline with the back of my vehicle.

I have no blind spot because I have my mirrors set correctly.

On my wife's model 3, the mirrors are completely useless unless I want to see how much dust is on the side of her car.

I don't know how to do the cool quote thing you did but I'll answer in order.

1. I don't care if you want to edit my race out of your game. It has zero effect on me. It's your private game. Why would I care? If I don't like the mod it I just won't install it. I'm never going to intervene to stop you from enjoying your game the way you want just because I don't agree or like it.

This argument is just trying to find reasons to be offended.

I'll give you an example that will definitely trigger you. I play HOI4. That game is a historical WW2 game. The game does not have an accurate flag for Germany because it's symbol is not allowed to be shown in Germany. I always use a mod to put the proper Nazi flag in the game because I want my historical game to be representitive of the period. Denying me the ability to use it doesn't make the historical event suddenly not happen. It happened. Am I suddenly a Nazi supporter because I want my war game to reflect reality?

Im not out Heil Hitlering, or calling for the deaths of millions of Jews. I'm just playing was war game in the privacy of my own home.

2. I'm not American so the N word has very little meaning to me. I think it's stupid that people can't even write the word without being banned. How are you supposed to talk about it. It's rediculous. If your skin colour is the right shade then you can go around saying the forbidden word at will?? Honestly I'm never going to say it because it's not part of my cultural norm anyway.

In Australia the racist word people used for indigenous was 'coon'. I've never used it and I never will. Ive not even heard anyone use it since maybe the 80s when a kid was trying to be an edgelord. Do I think the word should be banned internationally just because some wankers used it 30+ years ago? No. If you're using it in a hateful way against someone or a people, then sure, that bastard should face some consequences.

I'm just never going to support blanket banning activities or words for everyone because of a few bad actors.

I think that's a terrible idea.

Now we are onto the apparently oppressed rich western people that want to be called some idiotic pronouns like xi, or horse person or some other BS. I'm not doing it. It's too stupid.

If someone wants to be called she instead of he, then whatever, I'll call them it. It causes me no harm and I really don't care. Live your best life.

Blocking a person from modifying their game because you don't like the idea? That's Nazi book burning philosophy right there. If you can't see it irony then I don't know what to say to you. You think your in the right, but your actually to oppressor, even if you think it's with good intentions.

It's in the garage alone with no access for animals or anything.

I think I looked at the car once before today.

I'll have a look at the recordings if any. See if something is triggering it. Nothing in their to trigger it though so doesn't make much sense.

No third party apps at all. Just the Tesla one.

I've noticed the car uses about 10% whilst parked in the sun whilst at work which is obviously keeping the cabin cool.

Ah righto. First time I've left it unplugged for so long without using it. Had no idea the standby power draw would be so high.

If you don't want to feel excluded then don't install the mod.

I don't understand why people argue for less options that don't affect them.

No one is forcing the mod on you. Is it really that harmful that it exists?

I don't give 2 shits if a mod exists that makes everyone in the game trans or gay or anything else. I'm just not going to install the mod unless it improves the game in some way or it sounds like it would make the game more interesting with alternative play styles or something.

I'm never going to argue that the mod I'm not interested in should be removed because it's not reinforcing my beliefs.

Tolerance goes both ways. I tolerate your beliefs and you tolerate mine.

That tolerance doesn't exist in this woke reality we are enduring at the moment. Anything that doesn't repeat the correct narrative is subjected to cancel culture. It's always my way or the highway.

I have a fucked knee but it has nothing to do with my personality.

I just can't run.

I still try when I play with the kids and end up limping around for a few days.

I don't really understand what this image is implying.

I get up at 4am on days I have to go to the office. Driving an hour to work at 4:30 sucks but it's better than driving 2 hours to work at 6:30.

On Fridays I either have the day off or have to work 4 hours, alternating each week.

I get up at 4am on the working Friday and finish at 8 exactly like this guy suggests because it feels like I have every week being a 3 day weekend.

It is shit cramming a full working week into Mon-Thursday though. My employer implemented the 4 day work week if we wanted. You still have the work the hours though, so it's quite shit.

I know quite a few people just went back to working 5 days to shorten each day.

This is one of the weirdest statements I've ever read.

I don't like the repair policy of this company so I'm switching to Apple......

Tell me you live in a dark cave without telling me you live in a dark cave.
