    Ah, the extremely shitty pen that scratches so bad you might as well carve your message into the paper. Lasts maybe 3 lines before it starts skipping but who cares. It exists to be as cheap as possible so your customer you don’t respect can pocket it after initialing twice and signing something.

    I hate bad cheap pens so much. I never would have gotten into fountain pens if there wasn’t the counter example of how bad a writing experience can get.

    If it was intentional I don’t think he would choose this venue. Trump has gotta be so pissed at him for stealing the media spotlight and making him look bad.

    Fundamentally I don’t think he thinks of himself as a neo-nazi whether or not he functionally is one. And I don’t think he’s bold enough for a dog whistle this blatant even if he does.

    He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute. He’s happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal ‘my heart goes out to you all’ gesture.

    Idk, sometimes it can be great. I worked on wind turbines for a while and one of my favorite memories is when I had the privilege of watching a beautiful sunrise from the top of a turbine. The day to day of working with a small team to kick ass at something that long-term helped provide power to thousands of homes was very fulfilling. I’d go back in a heartbeat if they built wind turbines in localities that don’t suck (technically they do but good luck getting one of those site positions in Hawaii or the other small desirable wind farms).

    I don’t think any hobby can approximate the fulfillment that comes with doing something materially significant for society.



  • My entire impression of HR at amazon warehouses is HR is there to onboard new hires and occasionally act as an equivalent to t1 tech support. You go to the amazon worker subreddit and about half the posts talking about a problem have comments like ‘yeah just call corporate HR they’ll fix it’ because onsite HR fucked something up.

    edit: Also worth noting, that same subreddit is pointing out that medical leave of absence is always approved by default with 30 days to provide proof so yeah she probably put in for the wrong type of leave.

    Most people who have worked at an amazon warehouse will tell you the same story: yes amazon sucks, no not for that reason in the news. Amazon was the 2nd best warehouse I’ve worked at, but that’s more a condemnation of the industry than praise for amazon.
