"I don’t think I was a terrible coworker because I learned to still remain polite and professional. But, now that I look back, I always found a way to split up work where I could be left to my devices on some parts of the projects while letting others own their bits and keep the two isolated."

🚨"Europe just canceled $25B in US military deals. NATO allies are planning to replace American l'ship. Japan, France & the UK are prepping deployments w/o us. And now Trump says allies only get ‘toned-down’ jets bc ‘someday they’re not our ally.'

Обожаю, блин, людей, которые кого-то репортят без пруфов и пишут в комменте что-нибудь вроде "расизм", "фашизм", "сексизм".

А ты потом идёшь, листаешь последние несколько дней активности пользователя и там нихера нет. Ну то есть там есть какие-нибудь срачи где кто-то с кем-то не согласен, но не более.

Иногда кажется, что в феди не хватает системы репутации как в каком-нибудь Counter-Strike, где если ты репортишь регулярно нормальных игроков, то твоим репортам просто придётся пониженный вес.

С другой стороны, конечно, тут бы это не сильно помогло - только от "добропорядочных дураков".

А жаль.

It Isn’t Just #Trump.# America’s Whole #Reputation Is Shot. nyt nytimes.com/2025/03/13/opinion #Trump does not seem 2 notice or care that if you betray people, or jerk them around, they will revile U. Over last few weeks Europeans have gone from shock 2 bewilderment to revulsion. This period was 4 them what 9/11 was for us the stripping away of illusions, the exposure of an existential threat. Europeans have realized that America, the nation they thought was their friend is actually a rogue superpower.

"Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century
[…]
• Data on real wages suggests that, historically, extreme poverty was uncommon and arose primarily during periods of severe social and economic dislocation, particularly under colonialism.
• The rise of capitalism from the long 16th century onward is associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality.
• In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, wages and/or height have still not recovered."

The only political party brand worse than Republican Party is the Democratic Party.

A brand is a reputation.

A reputation consists of “promise” and “delivery”.

One brand promises and delivers, even if the promise is awful, and the delivery is cruel.

The other does…neither.

A quotation from The Bible

   Be careful that you don’t practice your religion in front of people to draw their attention. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
   Whenever you give to the poor, don’t blow your trumpet as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may get praise from people. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that you may give to the poor in secret. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.
   When you pray, don’t be like hypocrites. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people will see them. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. But when you pray, go to your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.
 
   [Προσέχετε [δὲ] τὴν δικαιοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἔχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
   Ὅταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου, ὅπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι.
   Καὶ ὅταν προσεύχησθε, οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί, ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι, ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σὺ δὲ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμεῖόν σου καὶ κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι.]
