Nope, this article focuses on just one side however it is and should be a two way mutually beneficial deal, like any successful relationship. Good managers understand their employees and work within business needs to make their people happy.

Or - and this is heavily documented - the US Military has never passed any audit since they began being audited. This is just part of that.

Doesn't mean we don't support Ukraine. Just means we need to hold the military accountable for the funds provided.

No, you made a series of claims above without evidence. Let's start with your claim that instant gratification has spilled into the workplace and is a cause for the problems as you see them.

Thanks for this breakdown. As an American I was confused as to why I found this concerning.

Disagree - there is a degree into which the needs of a managers direct report should be taken into account. Ignoring these needs in full comes with the risk of turnover and productivity loss. It's a balancing act between business and employee needs. Again you're taking it the the extreme by saying an employer should kowtow to the employee when the reality is that it should be a good balance in an ideal scenario and not entirely in either direction. A balance leads to the best outcomes for both parties.

Simple, it's not really about the kids, it's about control of the internet.

Yeah but are you going to back your statements above up with data or are these just your feelings?

Many groups have wanted an "online passport" for a long time now and it's hard for me to not see this as another attempt veiled by "won't someone think of the children".

Once this starts it'll be required for everything.

Corpse Conglomeration is a badass band name though

"Russian economy is about to flip the fuck out"

Just curious, what's your sourcing on that? I ask because this has been said since the sanctions were put in place but they've managed to limb along.

People panned the game but this was the whole point of the NG Resonance character in Deus Ex Invisible War. People would basically tell this AI pop star intimate details about their lives and then the data was used against them and their local communities.

As a native English speaker I fully agree that your intuition makes sense and I've also always hated this phrase because it does sound backwards.

Help desk is the answer. The key is to work towards understanding the industry you're doing support in. A ton of companies love support members because they end up knowing the product, the use cases, and the clients better than most other folks in the company.

Works every time and after playing just about all of the modern paradox games, you really don't need the dlcs unless you're really into the base game and even then the time to learn means most of it won't even be within your grasp until you're like 50 to 100 hours in.

I bet one lemmy penny that he does a debate. He got out of the republican debates because he was the clear winner, but no federal election debate would show weakness and that would be bad for his brand.

I also think the debates will be an absolute disaster for all parties involved which will benefit trump as his side doesn't care what he says or does.

It's because degrees aren't unfortunately full proof certifications of your skill set. They should be, and they should require recertification to prove your skill set. This is handled differently in different countries and with different industries but requiring more deep and trusted educational programs would resolve the problem. It makes sense that a company wants to ensure they're getting what the candidate says they are.

Hiring processes are a joke currently and involve a clearly bullshit song and dance that everyone knows is a lie. I ver much don't like tests in this capacity but it's clear it's a symptom of issues in higher academia.

Yeah you're right and I think we're looking for civily liable instead of conviction in this scenario - not that it should make a difference.

For the context of this article the US has provided 43.9 billion in military aid (defined as military equipment or weapons) as opposed to the UK's 6.57 Billion. By a large margin that is the most tangible assistance provided to Ukraine than any other country participating. The US could provide more funding, but money is not nearly as useful as already produced and available military equipment in the immediate term. I just hope the US can continue to assist, but Congress won't pass anything it seems (see the less than 25 bills passed this session).

This is a good take but it disregards the realities of the financial recipients being unable to account for funds spent. I agree there are special circumstances but we need to have visibility to those realities as benefactors. Otherwise how can we allocate funds democratically.

100% agree but curious on your speculation as to why.

What's your policy solution or position?

I think they knew and it didn't matter to them which is oddly prophetic when I look at the state of the world today lol

True, but he also can't run in Florida again so I could see it.

It's looking like no one really knows - seeing mixed signals in the recent reporting. They are reporting higher GDP but the concern seems to be projected inflation increases and a possible housing bubble.

When diving into the reporting, I found some interesting nuggets referring to Putin directing his interior ministers toward manual economic controls since 2014. The thought is in mitigating crises (Crimea and now Ukraine). From looking at China, manual controls seem to work in the short term before mistakes set in long term. Curious to see how much longer Russia can hold out.

I was referring to the perception from the results of the trial by the public, but you've given me quite a bit to mull over. Appreciate the context.

Lol literally no way to find out because they don't track it and have no reason to do it.

Not an argument at all but rather a discussion on what has been provided. I think we're both in the same page in terms of support for Ukraine. We can always do more but I just wanted to provide insight into what has been done. Unfortunately the US isn't all aligned on this issue which causes the roadblock.

From a policy perspective what would you like to see from the US?

Yeah I did a bit of looking around recent headlines and see similar sentiments:

I guess we'll see if they can dodge another bullet
