In exchange for high expectations I tend to give people all the space, training and support they need.

They know I will shield them from upstream shit and arrange mentorship for those who need it, but in return they deliver to their best ability.

They've seen me fire people before and I only hire people I believe in. When all that has sunk in, it's pretty smooth sailing. Typically, personal interactions just naturally fall into senior/junior mode thereafter.

@Justicar @DoubleD

Managing in a corporate SME these days is an absolute nightmare. Startups are easier places to deal with since the culture is usually obvious and clearly set by the CEO/CTO etc..

SME's today on the other hand are rife with HR, DEI policies, mixed teams etc.. so it's vital to get a clear handle on the company culture before you step on any landmines.

Assuming you've figured that out, and as long as you're doing the hiring/firing you can be as generous as you want.

I'm pretty sure they've been removing, updating and retconning the internet for at least the last decade.

As someone from the mid-90s era onwards, it's easy to tell.

Also, it's not like we don't have the technology to know for sure. Git/Blockchain is perfect for catching all those sneaky NYT/Wapo midnight edits and deletions.

@Tfmonkey

Reminds of that time I saw a Reddit AMA with a genuine hermaphrodite.

The top question was "Can you go fuck yourself?"

I spit my coffee out so hard.

Doesn't get any more Chad than that.

@RegalBeagle

LinkedIn would be less than half the size it is if it just deleted pajeet recruiters.

@Tfmonkey

Try some grip-strengthening exercises.

Begin with gentle masturbation. Choke that monkey, and make sure you practise with both hands.

When you've reached Kuroi-level endurance, graduate to truck stops. Handle as many cocks as you can and really improve your ambidextrous grip strength.

All the while knowing full well that his private "arrangements" and those of his friends are immune to the same judgement.

@Justicar

Nice. Let the hypersonic negotiations begin.

@Based_Accelerationist

It's a short essay of 11 minutes, but it's worth it since it addresses most of what you're talking about and why conservatards always lose.

@Based_Accelerationist

And I 100% agree with that. That's the question that the Butlerian Jihad resolved.

I firmly believe that if we don't end the human race through our OP technology within the next 1000 years, we will have de-facto had to have succeeded in resolving this dilemma.

Technology is dysgenic,there's no denying that. It weakens us physically, morally and spiritually.

@Based_Accelerationist @Tfmonkey

I have no idea about the universe you're talking about, but the concept of intentionally limiting technology as a force multiplier in order to achieve the right balance between optimal human warriors and tech-assistance is one I'm familiar with.

The best fictional concept of this is Herbert's Dune universe and the Butlerian Jihad solved this precise problem.

Most sci-fi doesn't even think about this which makes the Butlerian Jihad approach unique.

@Mr_Mister @dander

That would be a funny debate.

Simulation Theory also leads to the same moral nihilism as karma-based ethics.

If we're just simulated objects in a computed construct then nothing anyone does can ever be really harmful since we're essentially bits and bytes in a video game.

Like karma, you can tell yourself it's OK to commit the worst crimes, GG out of there and then maybe re-spawn.

There are billionaire/millionaire tech-bro elites who legit hold this position.
