  1. My group hasn't been targeted specifically but a couple other meetings I go to have been. My group began using a password this morning as a preemptive measure. Two others I visit once a week also began protecting their meetings this morning.

    These guys are trolling for unsecured zoom meetings. They're entirely indiscriminate.

  2. Is anybody else's meetings being affected by these zoomshitters? My group now requires a zoom password to join the meeting which eliminates any possibility of newcomers or visitors from another group. How are your groups handling the issue?

    OK, but Gus' fight isn't Mike's fight.  i don't see Mike accepting the risk of this line of work with respect to his assumed obligation to Kalie (sp?) over an emotional ode to an already resolved issue.  It seems to me there has to be something else.

    Well the Salamancas did threaten Mike's family. Lalo also forced Gus's hand and required Mike to kill the German.

  4. By tomorrow morning every single customer logo on Imagenet's website will be flooded with social media posts. By noon I expect HQ to start getting calls from those customers telling Imagenet to take their logo off the website while this is "being dealt with." Taking down their twitter account is a good idea as it will be harder for this to travel virally without a handle to retweet. But it really doesn't matter as it's too late to not have previous posts combed over and this is a story with a cartoon villain that the media will pounce on without mercy.

    Networks will be all over this tomorrow afternoon. Soundbites will be over the top. Customers will be reviewing the termination provisions in their contracts looking for a way out because being Imagenet's partner will now be a PR disaster and the only way to deal with it is to explain that you took immediate action to separate yourself from a vendor who does not share your values. Heads will roll and an employee centric Hail Mary will be thrown by the company to attempt to show that they really do care about their people. But it probably won't matter.

    @Pokoloco was right to keep the name of the company private. But now that it's out a lot more people will probably lose their jobs. And that fucking sucks. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

    I have also come to understand that this isn't some mom and pop deal, but a major corporation.

    Are you basing this on the reddit speculation that it is Conduent or has this been confirmed elsewhere? Because if it is a major corporation like Conduent, that doesn't jibe with @Pokoloco's post that this is a family owned business. Or maybe more than one company had the same terrible idea.

    Regardless, I could easily believe that it is Conduent. A company with zero prospects, minimal capital, multiple restructurings, and constant executive turnover.

    And the fact that Joe's former husband is in prison for murder and it's pretty much no big deal and never brought up.

    I really doubt they had a choice. As we saw how long it took to get Amari and Daks people to even talk. Amaris camp flat said they were waiting until FA this year to see their price. Cowboys can’t do anything with about a player wanting to test the market except overpay him to not test it(would have taken more than 20).

    You actually think it was cheaper to wait 18 months and let Cooper get to free agency than to extend him after the trade? Are you Mickey Spagnola and is there any personnel move the Cowboys make that you won't alibi for?

    I did not know this. The trade was incredibly stupid no matter the circumstances.

    The mandatory fines apply for those players on their second contract. Players would also lose an accrued season towards free agency much faster. So the new CBA wouldn't have prevented Zeke's holdout last year but damn sure would have for Hopkins. There is supposed to be latitude for players still on their rookie deals.

    There were rumors Dhop was going to hold out as he was the 17th highest paid WR in the league (according to the radio guys).  This is still one of the worst trades in NFL history, but that may shine a little light on their thinking. 

    The players just gave away their holdout leverage in the latest CBA. Not only do the fines increase for holding out, but the fines cannot be waived by the team once the player reports to camp.

    Lots of good websites and online meetings.  Literature can be a good time soak.

    Also:

    When A Man Loves A Woman

    Took my high school girlfriend to see that back in the mid 90s. I figured great date movie/Meg Ryan/getting laid afterwards will be a no brainer.

    Things did not go as planned.
