How on earth are your colleagues supposed to know this from “hi”?! If there really is an urgent problem, actually say what it is. Why do you expect all your colleagues to deduce that ‘hi’ means “production is currently shut down, please help immediately”?

DON’T just say hi. Say what the problem is. Just saying ‘hi’ shows no respect whatsoever for your colleagues’ time management.

Don’t expect people to make themselves available to you without telling them what for. “I reached out” is a shitty phrase for “I expected them to drop everything but I didn’t explain why or what the problem is and for some reason I’m blaming them for no progress happening. I tried prodding my colleagues silently with literally no information whatsoever and now I’m all out of options. Please can management intervene, because telling my colleagues absolutely nothing about what needs to be done isn’t working - for some reason they’re not doing anything. I act like my urgent work problem is utterly meaningless content-free chit-chat and then get butthurt when people don’t respond to it. Management needs to make sure all my colleagues always drop everything for me instantly on my say so without hesitation or any context because otherwise they’re unhelpful. Please tell my colleagues that ‘hi’ from me means it’s AN EMERGENCY WHICH MUST BE HANDLED IMMEDIATELY.”

Actually, I’m on the loo, so if you mean a second for a yes/no question with no follow up whatsoever, fire away, but if you’re looking for some interactive process, absolutely not, my turd takes priority.

“hi, can I ask an urgent question?” followed by… no question.

“Hi, can you commit an unspecified amount of time to a problem that I’m not prepared to outline in case you don’t think it’s as urgent as I do? Please agree in advance to drop everything for it before knowing what it is.”

No. Absolutely not. Bye bye unopened notification.

This is why it annoys me so much. No, I don’t blanket agree to interact with you. If it’s something short, I’ll answer immediately, but if it’ll take me longer, it’ll be later. Someone I worked with was a monster for this.

Hiya.

Hello?

…

Just say what you want ffs. This could have been over 15 minutes ago if you didn’t insist on real time interaction via this asynchronous communication medium!

All that shit’s gonna come home to roost if Farage gets elected. Just like it has in the US because they let Trump win. Twice!

never coming back

Why wouldn’t he return illegally, commit crimes and get himself deported again?

labour is the Enemy

This is a fucking shit take when the current poll leaders are reform.

Labour are a bit crap, but reform are truly awful. You sound like the idiots who thought Kamala was the worse choice.

The BBC gave him more air time on Question Time than any other politician by a huge, huge factor, and this was when he’d failed seven or so times to get elected as an MP.

The world would be a better place if Nigel Farage would fuck off back to swindling investors out of their money instead of swindling the entire British nation out of its humanity and democracy. Lying git.

You’re right, of course, but I really enjoyed “fubuciary”. It’s a deliblicious misplomuncitation.

Yeah, the idea of Amazon running my home security did NOT appeal to me. I went with another brand.

could do trig out to several decimal places in his head

He’s got to have memorised that before class, or has memorised a bunch of common angles. The formula I remember using for them is a mess and doesn’t converge quickly.

And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.

And it wasn’t professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren’t like her, it was just meeting them.

You get blowjobs from Lemmy users?! I gotta try changing my username!

Then it’s not empty. If it were a union of empty sets, that would be empty.

Thank you for being polite and not calling me a bot or whatever else

You’re very welcome, but when I read this comment, I had a rueful chuckle because I worry that I’d been rather too argumentative to count as in any way polite, so sorry about that, and I’ll try harder to live up to your charitable interpretation rather than destroy it.

I’m not convinced that it’s better in any significant way to have invented your own horrific policy slogan (that mirrors real nazi actions) than to have used a literal translation of a prewritten nazi one, but I decided before logging on that I was going to stop arguing with you on that point, so I should already have shut up and dropped it. Here’s the parting compromise: you’re right, it’s not a literal nazi slogan, it’s a newer maga slogan that just looks a lot like past nazi actions.

So far the administration behaves in ways that are like the Nazis, but they do not openly fly swastika flags, etc.

Many of their followers now do. I don’t really understand why explicitly and openly nazi is such an important distinction for you.

Children have to learn to get along. I’m glad they have you being a good example while you teach them that alongside all the subjects and learning skills and who knows what else. Thank you.

I’m sure there are many children whose lives have gone down a much better path than they would have done, all because of what you do and how you do it.

May your career be happy, fun and long. Sincerely, bless you.

Like my local pub, then. That’s how I like it.

Spoiler: they’re not ranking it in and aren’t millionaires, though.

but not actually yet acting on it.

I hope you’re right and I’m wrong, but deporting people for not being white is already happening, extrajudicial execution is already happening, disregulated millitias with no accountability is already happening, retaliation on the scale of cities and States for not supporting the leader is already happening, armed removal of foreign leaders for nakedly political reasons is already happening, threatening to invade neighbouring countries is already happening, and here you are telling me it’s all fine because at least they haven’t copied the Nazis by killing off a whole village yet, they’ve just written their message of annihilation on a podium?

You are absolutely splitting hairs while citizens are openly abducted and killed in the streets. Again, have some sense of perspective! For you it hinges on the wording?!?!?
