@silverwizard It's always strange to me how many managers don't understand this concept.

I literally went to management school and this was like the one and only thing they taught in business communications, it made up like 40% of the semester.

Youtube, have I done something particular that has convinced you I'm a Christian Nationalist or is shorts just fucked again?

"What are you doing for Canadian Independence Day?"
"Oh buddy Canada Day couldn't be less about independence from the empire. Also nothing, because you've got me holding the pager, remember?"

@mos_8502 Loudly for the people in the back, etc etc etc.

I actually shockingly (not shockingly, I grew up as one of those "men don't wear loud colours" dorks) I own no orange, maybe if I can get out today I'll correct that.

I'm also being a bit disengenuous. This is the weekend between my sibling's birthday and mine, so I think there's a lunch planned somewhere I'm expected to pop into.

@silverwizard @katja

Yeah so far these have been pretty good.

I'm on her manosphere one now. As a Canadian it is my duty to watch anyone make Jordan Petersen look like an idiot at least once

I have tricked myself into watching a 2 hour mocking teardown of sovcits and... honestly, I regret nothing.

@katja this one.

I know nothing about the creator and I'm only like 15 minutes in https://youtu.be/KcxZFmKrxR8

@hypolite @silverwizard My work here is done.

@silverwizard I mean in a sense it was the only *true* self-documenting process.

Absolute bat shit insanity to me that some future generation is potentially going to have a full description of the invention of PETI (the most trivial technology ever concieved of by man or beast) but we have no fucking idea how we came up with writing.

Writing. The third most important human technology, ever.

Why the hell is "I'm a Teapot" 418, shouldn't it be 518?

@silverwizard Player has to make the horrible choice of which faction to endorse and whether to use their own growing magical potential for their own gain, for the betterment of humanity, or in service of The New Management.

@silverwizard Yes EXACTLY.

Faction system where you have to carefully navigate the loyalties of the Carcosans, Esoteric Order of Dagon, and something setting-original to keep it fresh, or reject all faith as a memetic defense, etc etc.

Sanity damage accruing over time instead of rad damage.

@silverwizard I guess it goes more the pulp end than the true horror end but honestly that's where the fun is.

Honestly for me the perfect videogame would be if the Bethesda fallout team stopped flirting with lovecraftian themes in sidequests and just dropped us into alt-30s Boston or Arkham or Halifax after an Old One has woken up.

The player character as to balance their own survival with potentially establishing a community and maintaining it as viable while reality shreds around them.

@silverwizard No no, the spreadsheet is just the tool I'm going to use to beat Directorate over the head with the data once the reports have been massaged.

Because frankly nobody has found a simpler way to present trend data to folks who should have just been accountants yet.

@silverwizard I'm flat fuckin' baffled this whole report isn't just condensed into a single <monitoring tool> query, but then again I guess the question has also just never come up for us before.

*capacitor charge whine*

STAND BACK! I'M GOING TO DO SCIENCE!

*opens LibreOffice Calc*

Patch, why are you doing a spreadsheet? You're an SRE.

"As with all well-mannered engineers, I fucking DESPISE doing math."

@silverwizard Don't know that I recommend.

If I recommend, I don't recommend THIS build methodology. I have more trouble with this thing than any other piece of technology I own.
