It protects you from the collector.

First, I would suggest establishing a clear line between work and social, the higher up you go, the less friends you have. It’s great that you tried to help them initially and now it looks like you’re getting fucked unfortunately. I would advise staying away from these people on a social level and continue to work together professionally, clear line of separation.

Since the company was lining to performance management them, then they must have not been performing. Unfortunately in the corporate world, people are happy to palm problems off to other departments. From what I’ve read, it has been 2 years since, and not knowing how long they have been in the company, making performance management and termination a tad more complicated.

You can’t get them fired for no reason, but you can report your conversation to HR and have this logged as inappropriate and troubling. In all reputable companies there’s a whistleblower system where you can anonymously report things on ethics, mismanagement, toxic behavior etc.

In sum, keep it professional and avoid social, if they are not performing, they’ll end up getting performance managed out soon enough.

Lol that’s fucking hilarious.

Welcome to the Trump Circus.

Did your dad just pimp you out?

Might sound crazy, but I actually went through it all lol. For music you may want to consider the lastfm cog. I use it for movies so I have themoviedb cog and created my own letterboxd cog… not great but it works. i also use aiuser with an API, useful to get some (old) information and you can set it up to roast people or talk in a certain way for entertainment purposes. cleanup is another useful cog to quickly clean up a lot of messages quickly (delete from message ID, delete messages between message ID1 and ID2 etc). i use the system cog to get server cpu/ram/hd usage.

The White House will be converted to a colliseum

Is this the 3-way Trump, Putin, Nethanyahu fight?

Has Madonna been to Gaza?

On Wednesday, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, met with President Trump at the White House and agreed to give the federal government its 15 percent cut, essentially making the federal government a partner in Nvidia’s business in China, said the people familiar with the deal. The Commerce Department began granting licenses for A.I. chip sales two days later, these people said.

Sounds very unusual, so Nvidia is giving a kickback to the White House? No matter how I look at it, I can’t see how this isn’t a conflict of interest. I’m quite certain that someone will say the 15% kickback will be used in R&D etc to stay ahead the competitors but where do you draw the line between revenues and national interest?

Still no lossless?

He likes them young.

I never really knew the full story of what happened to Masterson, until now.

Each of the four plaintiffs had been a member of the Church of Scientology at the time, as was Danny Masterson. Scientology forbids its members to report fellow members to police for any reason. (wiki)

That’s fucked up.

Trump would pardon him.

You must really love your wife haha. Seriously, try to enjoy the concert. You’re already going, so you might as well try to enjoy yourself.

What band / singer?

“By the time we get out on the street—we got out on Fifth Avenue—he just turned and started yelling at me and said, ‘Why did you let him do that?’” she recalls.

What sort of person would allow another person do that to a friend, girlfriend, wife etc?

We only need the Epstein Files to “prove” this because we don’t believe the victims.

And that’s disgusting right, because a nobody would get fucked for less.

All these guys got a pass for quite some time, all because they worked on having an image so pure the public would defend it for them. Trump has entire news stations doing that for him.

Yes but Trump does not have an image so pure and he has gotten away with it… so far.

angling for a pardon

That’s all I’m seeing nowadays.
