You come formally dressed. Big hats are recommended. And you just stare awkwardly at each other for an hour. Stroopwafels are served at the end though.

When I was a child, the local paper still ran Kids cartoons, along with Mutt and Jeff. Of course, those were what they call 'ghost strips,' since the original artists had died long ago, but the syndicate kept hiring hacks to crank the things out.

Here's a First World problem: I can't park my car in the shade under the trees in front of my door, because birds. (Twice this month I've walked out to see my car looking as if it had been decorated like a wedding cake, only, ewwww.) So I have to park in the NE lot, which has no shade at all until close to sundown -- which is not until 8 pm nowadays. Yes, I put up sunshades and the windows are tinted, but it gets HOT in a car. It makes me reluctant to go anywhere after about 9 in the morning.
Fortunately I'm on walkabout at home. But it's still annoying.

My company's CEO sent out an email that had a generic reference to not tolerating racism in the middle of a paragraph talking about the disruption to the business over the past few months.
I'm actually kind of surprised at how restrained the messaging has been considering that the place does celebrate gay pride month now.

Yeah, something is definitely "wrong" here.
It strikes me as if an alien was trying to simulate an environment a human would understand, but didn't quite get the details right.
Knowing nothing of the artist or his thoughts about why he created this, I'd presume this is intentional. He's TRYING to convey something being wrong.
Not sure what. Maybe the clues are found in symbolic messages that I don't have the tools to decode.

I will kneel at the alter as I pray, and I'll kneel before my God on my day of reckoning, but I will NOT kneel before any mortal man, for any reason, at any time. To be clear, it will be my day of reckoning if I am forced to.
This is my creed, YMMV...

Yeah, I read his whole loooong statement. He really was tripping all over hisself. Seems like Aaron Rodgers called him out on his previous position. That may or may not have been an influence. Brees tried to say that he got mixed up as to what the kneeling was all about: protesting the flag or protesting racism. He got mixed up, see. All better now.

It requires a small air compressor, receiver, and a vortex tube.
You hit a button and cold compressed air pushes out the hot air before you get in. Any car with air suspension already has the compressor and possible a receiver. Vortex tubes are tiny and small solenoid valves are easy to get.

Our Message of Inclusivity, Hope, and Action
The recent events surrounding the death of George Floyd and so many that have come before him, are a heart-breaking tragedy that has deeply impacted each of us in a personal way. The pain, anger, and sorrow that echo across the globe remind us that we are not yet where we need to be as a nation and as a people - that racial and social injustice are real, divisive, and intolerable. This is not someone else's fight; inclusion and diversity belong to each of us, and we must remain committed in realizing our shared vision of freedom, equality, and justice for all.
As a company and as a nation, we draw strength from our diversity; we achieve our greatest success through our inclusion; and we influence and change the future through our innovation where inclusion and diversity intersect.
We remain steadfast in our belief that each individual has the indelible right to be treated equally, to have a sense of belonging, and to have the opportunity to bring their best self forward. We have always worked toward creating conditions that promote inclusion on a daily basis and we are profoundly moved at the fierce compassion, desire, and drive for change that so many of you have already shown through your words and actions. Each of us has the power and capacity for change and we will continue to learn, share, and transform - building a future where all are treated fairly and with the dignity and respect that each of us deserves. To do anything less is to hold ourselves back from realizing our true capacity for human progress: achieving equality for all.
While our country may not be where it needs to be, we must not lose our sense of hope and purpose. At (company name), we will continue to uphold voices of diversity, to lift up the communities where we live and work, and to be the change we want to see. Now is the time to be bold; it is the time to unite. To look through the lens of possibility, to make the positive changes we need to move forward as a company, as a nation, and as a people. This is a topic of humanity, and people have always been at the heart of our mission.
We are here, we are listening, and we are acting. We welcome further dialogue and diversity of thought as we remain committed to our values and united by grace and respect to lift each other up and to be the voice and action of change.
We are all in this together, and together we are stronger.
Signed by our VP of Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Innovation. I wish I were making that title up.

Thanks CN you said this well.
So I've been really heartbroken about this. I really was born in Philly and I do love my city and I lived there thru college and for fifteen years afterward, and only moved b/c I couldn't get my eldest into a charter school, honestly.
pretty much everyone I work with (office in the city) lives in the city.
and now it's not my city anymore. it's gone. not so much bc of the rioting altho partly that, just because of your second thing. I'm not wanted there anymore.
so it finally has sunk in, and our stupid plans to move back when the eldest went to college are WAY WAY OVER WITH.
it's fine I feel better today but I had to go thru the stages of grief.
the people we know who live in town - even in the nabes (other than south philly of course! and probably the Far Northeast) are ALL IN on the "protesting" and I'm telling you it's just b/c they are SO SCARED. they cannot accept that they have no place in Philadelphia any longer and they think they can "pay the danegeld" and be allowed to stay. they are just doing little self-abnegating rituals to try to stay alive there, basically
I'm not mad at them anymore, just sad.
It's over. Philly is lost.

Marxism: Bourgeoisie vs. proletariat
Post-modern social constructionism: Oppressor vs. oppressed
This is why Marxism has largely failed, and post-modernism is ascendant (in the West, anyway). In the original Marxist dichotomy, there was a defined loser and a defined winner, a defined hero and a defined villain. But collectivism doesn't work, so any semblance of stability has to be destroyed to enable continuous revolution. Mao started to figure this out, but the PoMo's really figured it out.
The oppressor/oppressed dichotomy is *much* more useful because you can move the goalposts with ease. Once they eliminate the oppressors (white people writ large, and anyone else who is down with traditional American values, market economics, private ownership, etc.), there will suddenly be a group of new oppressors to be destroyed in the next turn of the revolutionary crank.
SJWism and every other offshoot of the postmodern clusterfuck is perfectly Marxist in terms of core philosophy, but it isn't economic - it's cultural. That is why it is so much more powerful. The economic dichotomy in Marxism is not flexible enough to do what they need. A constantly shifting cultural dichotomy is much more adaptable and useful to you if you're an evil collectivist.

Early this week our CEO did a virtual all hands and led off by blaming Trump for the riots. Keep in mind our policies and procedures specifically forbid politics in the workplace.
That lit off a firestorm in the meeting chat. One person asked why we're getting involved in a non-company issue, to which another person said it IS a company issue since systemic racism doesn't stop at the building walls, to which a THIRD person said "So you're calling all of us racist?"

To the Men and Women of the National Guard:
I am sickened by the death of George Floyd. I am horrified his 6 year old daughter will grow up without a father. And I am enraged that this story of George Floyd, of Philando Castile, of Trayvon Martin, and too many others keeps happening in our country, where unarmed men and women of color are the victims of police brutality and extrajudicial justice.
Our country has seen peaceful protests descend into unspeakable brutality at lunch counters in Montgomery and on bridges in Selma. Right now, anger and outrage are spilling out into the streets all across America. We all bear the scars of history, of oppressors and the oppressed. We cannot erase this legacy, but we can listen, we can learn, and we can be better. We must be better.
Everyone who wears the uniform of our country takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and everything for which it stands. If we are to fulfill our obligation as service members, as Americans, and as decent human beings, we have to take our oath seriously. We cannot tolerate racism, discrimination, or casual violence. We cannot abide divisiveness and hate. We cannot stand by and watch. We ask for the intercession of what Abraham Lincoln called "the better angels of our nature". Join me.
It doesn't specify, but I assume he then knelt in solidarity and self-flaggelated as penance for his inherited sins of slavery and racism.

I guess the next question is what are they personally doing to help people of color?

Maybe after dedicating THEIR LIVES to helping people of color, they might ease their feelings of guilt. Until they take action, I would point out that their words are meaningless, as is their apparent guilt.

understand why a recruiter who has no idea what to ask for a technical
position. I could've just rattled off a bunch of nonsense acronyms and
she wouldn't have known whether I was full of sh!t or not. I had to help
her interview me!
A friend of mine had the same experience. She ended up giving him travel tips to Memphis. The interviewer was younger than her daughter.

Front line recruiters are mostly there to make sure that the first pass of candidates can meet the basic requirements of the job description. Yeah, they don't know it specifically, but they can look for those buzzwords.
There's limited use in them, but if the person being interviewed understands the game, they can be played.

It requires a small air compressor, receiver, and a vortex tube.
You hit a button and cold compressed air pushes out the hot air before you get in. Any car with air suspension already has the compressor and possible a receiver. Vortex tubes are tiny and small solenoid valves are easy to get.
Only issue I see is that it might be a little noisy.
Posted by: sniffybigtoe at June 04, 2020 10:06 AM (1ISKN)
I think you'd find it needs a lot of air. The air compressors used for air suspension are quite small.
You know what might work? Stored coolth. Fill a cylinder like a scuba tank to 2000 psi. Cool the air from the compressor as it goes into the tank, but also have the tank in a cold chest cooled by the A/C system. On a signal from your key fob, a valve opens, and chilled air from the tank expands, cooling even more, and displaces hot air from the car interior. And as you drive off, and engine-driven compressor recharges the tank.
You'd have to run all the numbers, the PV=nRT stuff, to see if it would work.

Fen, there are several factors in play. A heart attack in itself often leads to depression and serious mood changes. Surgery anesthetic can also cause issues with brain chemicals. Medications can often cause these types of mental issues.
This needs to be addressed with his physicians. A possible change in meds and support counseling regarding the heart attack and his physical limitations would be the best place to start.

I don't recall what the head of the National Guard Bureau does exactly. but it is less than most think even with that name. And since I was in the Guard, it shows he isn't really that big of a deal since I still don't know.
But damn, what a thing to send out to men who are deploying. Why do so many act as if there has been no progress since Fort Sumter? Why do things seem ten times as bad as they were in the 80s? No one will ever convince me the internet wasn't a key factor in all of this. Sure there were so many other factors like fewer people attending church, fewer nuclear families, the 24 hour news cycle etc. But it just makes no sense that in the last ten years race has become some huge deal that is commented on on a daily basis and blamed for everything.
People were so worried at the Millenium that something bad would happen. We were happy when it didn't occur. My argument is it did occur but we just didn't realize it at the time.

Ah, the French Revolution, the leftist revolution that led to the first modern genocide, constant war with neighbors, the Terror, and the eradication of the originators of the revolution.
You know, what Marxists call a good start.

Ya think maybe their internal polls are painting a vastly different picture?

Biden is ahead because......it's and op. Weighted polling data skewed towards Democrats, and sure....Biden is ahead.
Really good polling is not really possible anymore, as people either don't have a landline, or have Caller ID, and won't answer an unknown phone call. Most polling people are calling from Area Code 202, by the way.

Correct. Another thing about the local economy: this was one of the few places on Earth where a part-time bartender or waitress could earn a comfortable living. That attracted every failure drop-out you can imagine who's only problem is deciding where to go party tonight. All those people are screwed now by their own poor life decisions. Of course they're going to blame someone, anyone else.
If you think it's bad now wait until the extra $600/wk in unemployemnt stops in 3 weeks.

Yes. My dad too and, anecdotally, a family friend's parents too. It's delirium. Mayo Clinic link in my sockpuppet. There are probably pages about it and heart troubles specifically if you want to search around the Mayo site.

Remember when the NBA and the Houston Rockets and others in the media went completely silent while their ChiCom masters cracked down in Hong Kong? They were all "the opinion of this one employee who tweeted #standwithhongkong does not reflect the opinions of the NBA or the Houston Rockets."
Now what? Now they're climbing over each other to support a LESS pointed version of protests. Hong Kong folks were literally just trying to maintain their laws. They were organized and they had a message. CAN'T ALLOW THAT. Buncha aimless dumbass looters? WE SUPPORT THIS.
Just more Big Gov bullshit message management.
Wouldn't surprise me to find Chinese money behind the protesting groups.

This needs to be addressed with his physicians. A possible change in meds and support counseling regarding the heart attack and his physical limitations would be the best place to start.
Posted by: Jen the original at June 04, 2020 10:56 AM (QR/xh)
As you surmise, medications can play a huge role in this kind of thing; in fact, people who have been relatively healthy and never had much hospital time are often most affected, because they have never built up any resistance to any drugs.
My father, who passed away last year at age 85, had an extended hospital stay about 3 years ago. He didn't have dementia, but something similar happened - we were with him when he was recovering after a procedure, and he was talking fine, seemed very coherent, but he kept looking out the window in his room, and getting noticably agitated whenver he did. We asked him "dad, what's wrong?" and he said "well it's those palm trees - see them? It's the gorillas that keep running up and down them, I can't believe they're letting them run free like that!"
There was nothing outside the window save for a parking lot full of cars. We worked out later that it was a bad combination of drugs, combined with one that they had written down wrong and were overdosing him on, that was messing with his mind so bad.

BO signed 277 EOs and GW Bush signed 291.
Here is a great chart of EO's signed by every president. It was created before Trump took office.

The winner so far of EO's was Franklin Roosevelt with 3,721.

What I noticed was the orgs who were silent on Hong Kong are quite vocal now in support. The orgs who supported Hong Kong are rightfully now saying looting and rioting are bad. There's a difference between organized protests against a specific law and just wild packs of lunatics.

You know what really killed George Floyd? The thug life did that. Live as a thug, die as a thug. In this case, the thug that whacked him him happened to also be a cop. Just a fluke.

My friend, Dave, the retired pastor, who had a heart attack and a pacemaker installed is now having paranoia and believing irrational things such as his daughters have changed their names and want nothing to do with him. I think the "hospital dementia" is not an unusual thing for older folks (He's 75) or after a heart surgery in the hospital, but it's scary for his family Prayers for he and his family would be appreciated.
Has anyone here experienced this kind of thing with their mom or dad after surgery?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 04, 2020 10:47 AM (+eVzC)
*************
Just after my dad had quadruple bypass surgery, when visiting him in the hospital he told me that the man in the bed opposite was an agent for the author Robert Ludlum (who I think was already dead by then) and was sent by Ludlum to steal stories of my dad's time in the Royal Navy to make into a novel.
Later when I told him what he said he refused point blank to believe it.
The doctors warned us of such delirium though, it's very common.

We're winning bigly and we're cutting off their funding. The Wall, pulling out of the Middle East, etc. deprives them of the foreign aid, illegal drugs, arms, and human trafficking sales that they rely on.
Donald Trump is killing them. There is no other reason for these ops and expending so much ammunition. Were Jeb Bush in office, they could just lay low and wait a few years.
