It’s both! Though Lay’s came first. I looked it up because I couldn’t remember.

Pringles is “once you pop, you can’t stop,” in the mid 1990s.

Lay’s is “betcha can’t eat just one,” starting in the early 1960s!

Now I want chips.

It appears to be the latter.

Being aggressive is not the way to ask for help. You just end up looking… aggressive.

If it’s not the DEA it’s the CIA. If it’s not the CIA it’s the FBI.

I actually just thought of this cake earlier today randomly.

I love it, one of my favorite cakes!

The graphics look nice. The colors remind me of the original Sonic the Hedgehog

What a cool idea!

I think they thought it meant “veiled compliments” and not “veiled insults.”

Which isn’t hard to confuse really.

I believe Tech hiring is more about ego of the hiring managers and team more than it is about hiring qualified people.

I’ve never been on a team or seen a team where this was the case. We just wanted people who could do the job well, and they were hard to find.

I actually don’t understand where manager/team ego ever fits in, as someone who hired a lot of bootcamp grads.

I like that the dog has horns too

Not in the same way… which is the issue.

It’s a skilled profession, so ideally you want someone who is more skilled, and the person who has interest is more skilled.

It works similarly with other skilled professions like carpenters.

This has been my experience as well, since I started in community college in the early 2000s.

There is an unfortunately large difference in tech between a person who has an innate interest and someone who is checking the boxes to get and keep a job.

The first sentence of the article shows the problem.

For years, we heard about the tech talent shortage — that there were a glut of jobs and not enough bodies to fill them.

I worked in tech for a long time, at a bunch of different companies, and I never once worked anywhere that there was a glut of jobs and “not enough bodies” to fill them.

The problem wasn’t ever “bodies,” which people have always misunderstood. It’s qualified workers.

The people going into these careers includes a large number of people who want the money but aren’t qualified do what we’re looking for.

Sliced up like that horse in The Cell

Oh absolutely! I was just extrapolating on your comment.

It’s fascinating, honestly.

Because a non-negligible number of your neighbors are voting for populist and far-right candidates. These people have support.

100,000 people showed up for a far-right rally in London last week. Bolsonaro is just now seeing some kind of punishment for his actions in Brazil.

It’s never really been a U.S.-only thing, sadly, the U.S. has just captured the zeitgeist for the past several years.

These remembrance days are largely meaningless. This is essentially political clickbait to get everyone riled up on both sides.

Each Congress, Representatives and Senators typically introduce hundreds of measures to recognize, support, honor, or acknowledge individuals, groups, and events with a national day, week, or month.
… By recognizing and memorializing important historical figures, groups, and events, date-specific commemorative measures can be used to help establish collective memory and for Members to connect with constituents and fulfill representational responsibilities.

I added italics, because this does seem like a good way to connect with constituents one way or another.

Didn’t Canada’s parliament just give Charlie Kirk a standing ovation? Wasn’t Alberta just talking about seceding? So is it only “elbows up” for some people?

No country is immune.

I think I’ll take a walk!

I couldn’t believe my luck, I usually happen upon these kinds of things way too late.
