    @lufins-dad said in Fired for being a white male: @aqua-letifer said in Fired for being a white male: @jolly said in Fired for being a white male: Dunno. Most HR's are the stomping grounds of corporate SJW's. Oh I just meant online today. Twitter should be fun. I am sure there is at least 30% of the population that doesn't understand why this is a problem and feel it was completely justified and appropriate for him to be fired simply to make space for more diverse management. I am equally sure that a significant portion of that 30% is white males. Any idea that men are convinced makes them more attractive to women, you’ll find plenty of men holding that idea. Any idea at all, there is no litmus test for sanity.

    @axtremus said in Bereavement Leave: see the humanity and empathy in letting those who have lost pregnancies to take some time off to grief. Lock 'em up, murderers. Have some empathy for the dead baby.

    @taiwan_girl said in 50,000,000 with nothing to do...: @jon-nyc Or Africa. Less refrigeration, etc. Better logistics with only one shot required. If you are trying to reach nomadic people without modern day communication devices, a one shot vaccine is a good thing. Problem with Africa is that there are so few in-roads. Literally. And little money and stability for them to exist. Nice thing is, though, fix that, and you fix a lot of problems besides just COVID.

    Spent a few days in Come By Chance Newfoundland a few years ago, which is "kind of" in the area. Very pretty and I remember that you could go down to the pier and get a lobster dinner for super super cheap price.

    Also I think the half life is closer to 70 days for a typical person after 2 doses of Moderna. I’ve only just now had 2 doses so we’ll see how I do.

    @george-k 555 So true. Often wonder about the first of anything. "Oh, look at that thing that came out of a chickens butt. I think I will eat it!!" "Oh, that mushroom looks good!! Ill have a bite!!" "I wonder what would happen if I took this sharp stick and poked this sleeping bear?" etc

    Yeah, it is interesting. Boing put its money in a less passenger jet that would go point to point. Airbus put its money in a mega passenger jet that would go hub to hub. Oops. Turned out they were quite wrong. Thai Airlines had/has a few of the A380 and I have had the chance to fly on them a few times. Because you enter and exit the plane either on an upper level or lower level, it really doesn't seem like a two level plane. There is not a lot of "mixing" between the floors. Seems just like a regular one level plane.

    I have no idea. But I’ll bet we see other charges.
