Seen lots of psychos in upper management. Lots of two faced weasling, lying, backstabbing, torching relationships, stepping over people in their thirst for power over others.

Yeah, plus new comments don’t bump the thread up. Well if it’s a dead thread. Comment away!

Ah this is only a documentary film. I didn’t watch the episode, but it looks like he was referencing the book Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing. Which looks like a great read on the topic actually!

Just going to recommend the 2022 documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing for anyone who’s unfamiliar. It gives you all of this context, the Boeing before vs. after the 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas. Basically it’s no longer the same Boeing that put safety above all. They sold out.

Wow, I guess the people still have some power! It’s stupid though because the damage is done. A lot of those people aren’t gonna resubscribe.

Good move. Yeah this back and forth is pretty silly, like it’s not that serious lol. We got what you meant.

K. Still waiting on the lossless that supposedly dropped

So many answers getting upvoted bc they’re saying what OP wants to hear. Lemmy does not live in reality.

I’m one of those efficient employees who sometimes get taken advantage of. I generally don’t let it bother me because I’d rather just get the shit done. And they know you get shit done, that’s why they give it to you lol. It’s almost a compliment in a way? Shoot, they may even thank you, like “I’m glad you’re here” or “now that MelonYellow’s here, I know we’re good.” And of course - management loves you. Being cool with the higher ups is a perk in itself, should anything come up.

Of course some days it’s annoying, but it takes a lot for me to show it. Because I dislike whiners. Unless it’s egregiously unfair, I just do the assignment because it’s not worth rocking the boat. And guess what? The people who suck at work suck in their outside lives too. At the end of the day, I’m confident in my worth. I have the power, not them. I’m not stuck at this particular job - I chose it because of XYZ reasons. I’m paid very fairly for what I do. And I don’t think about work when I’m off the clock because I have my own life/hobbies that make life awesome. That all helps a lot.

Mhmm. Still waiting for lossless……

Seconding Athlean-X! The Youtube channel’s been around for forever, the guy is an actual physical therapist, is fit as heck, gives the facts and exercises to you straight, no nonsense.

Really bad thread-breaking comment spam under this post: https://lemmy.world/post/34824537

Hmm, yeah that’s helpful! So maybe if I think of grifting as more of a lifestyle, as in done by con artists.

Unrelated, but what’s the difference between grift vs. scam? Internet search seems to give me the same definitions.

Is it just that grifts are personal, while scams are impersonal (like phone/internet scams)?

Also there’s a city of 20 million people like 10 miles from the border that could get nuked just by conventional weapons. Adds complications

But Mexico City is most likely my cheap and easy go-to escape plan for if/when shit hits the fan in the U.S. I wonder if others had the same thought.

I had gator recently that was a plain fillet and not a fried nugget or something like that. I thought it was like a cross between chicken and a meaty fish. It tasted like chicken, but there was a slight sponginess and the way it pulled apart reminded me of fish

Forgot to mention blackened salmon! Perfectly cooked. I like mine with beurre blanc sauce😁

You missed all the great seafood!

My top 3 instant guaranteed to get my mouth watering foods are:

Vietnamese clay pot catfish (braised & caramelized)

Boiling Crab shrimps (Cajun-Asian seafood chain)

Hunan steamed fish (with salted chilis)

Japan ain’t gonna be cheap no more!
