    Goddamnit...the protestor stated he would burn down his house. The poster stated he would shoot anyone trying to burn down his house. You and Blknasty keep trying to make some stupid fucking argument about someone shooting someone for burning a flag. Y’all just keep making shit up and dodge and deflect until people get tired of engaging you and Blacklab has to step in like a parent on a road trip threatening to pull the car over.

    ok so we're going to glance over the fact that the flag being set on fire is attached to said house while occupied? just trying to follow your logic.

  2. That's a lot of words to say "Pass the buck, shirk responsibility and leave yourself an out if things go tits up."  Just messing with you, but it does have a tone of pawn it off on the direct report and be ready to throw them under the bus if it doesn't work.  Maybe I'm jaded from seeing it happen to colleagues way too often.

    Nah, this whole exercise is focused on retaining the talent and not making a shitty situation worse. A good salesman/originator/account manager with technical experience and good contacts are very rare and are a recruiters wet dream (with the exception of O&G). Once a good employee starts thinking of greener pastures your in trouble.

    If it was a shitty employee who somehow formed an unbreakable bond with the client, which I’ve come to find out is pretty common, might play it differently.

  3. Yes I believe its a problem.  It is undermining their goals, to some people.  I'm pretty much a law and order guy.  I find myself pretty upset with the cops and their tactics during the day, and laughing as they crack skulls of these assholes at night.  I don't believe looting is the "voice of the unheard".  It's the voice of the opportunist, thief, and shitheel.  
    And yeah, you threaten to kill someone and their family.  Fuck them, shoot em. I'll stand by that all day.  Serious question.  What kind of reform can you expect out of someone who will threaten to come back and burn your house down because you display a flag?  Fuck him, replace him with someone from somewhere that actually sucks and give them a chance at making the world better.

    can we count on you to shoot this guy in the gut and watch him bleed out?

  4. Sucks to be a vendor. If your customer is knocking it out of the park, it's not like you can call them to ask for increased pricing in the middle of a contract. They will hold you to the contract. But when they're going through a bad time, they want concessions. If you're a critical vendor for them, I think you need to use that as leverage.  Exchange a short term price break for a longer agreement with escalating pricing, and a penalty to break the contract. They will whine and call you a bad partner but why should the vendor take a hit when the customer failed to manage their risks. I guarantee they're not reacting well if their customers are asking for a price break.

    Win-win. the customer gets immediate relief to keep the lights on, and the vendor has future assurances. but its doubtful the customer will see it like that.

     

    My suggestion would be if you have a dedicated, experienced, capable account manager that you would like to retain - eat the loss and trust that the account manager is capable of utilizing the discount for future gains. Never been a fan of micromanaging.

     

    Otherwise you run the risk of losing a big client, losing a good employee with a significant amount of institutional knowledge to a competitor, and having to retrain a new employee who has a 75%+ chance of leaving you in less than two years. All while the whole market is upside down due to COVID. Yikes.

     

    Other than that, fuck you pay me. Clients rarely remember negative shit as long as you do good work, employees on the other hand - remember that time you took food out of their mouth.

  5.   What are you talking about? Lol. In my coherent lifetime I've had Reagan, Bush Sr, The Clinton's(who were trying to fight fire with fire and that's how they got elected), Jr, Obama, and this dude in the office now. That's 24 years of Republicans, 8 years of a Democrat trying to appeal to the South by running a Southern Strategy, Republican style platform, and Obama. So if anything I realized that the "tough on crime, protect snowflakes in the suburbs" bullshit is the "repetition" that I don't want. I have seen what that has done for me over all these years. Amplify that by the fear mongering this clown we currently have is tossing out there and I damn sure don't want any 4 years of this.

    just wanted to say its been dope havin’ another brotha around these parts. especially when brothahorn starts talkin’ his bullshit.
  6. Who’s going for some Snowflake tomorrow?  I might throw some at it in a pure market order. You’ll see my trade as the high point spike for the day. 
     
    unfortunately not getting any IPO shares. 

    Buffet: buys SNOW at $80 pre ipo
    IPO goes live at $120
    Closes around $140-$160

    Buffet: "Well sheesh people getting greedy, I'll be fearful. Plus, I'm already up 50%+ and by my rules I'll cash out now, don't want to get slaughtered. "

    but in all seriousness, the amount of hype for this IPO is significant - Buffet, Salesforce, JPM, GS, Ackman. ~$35 billion valuations mean nothing in this day and age. I’m going to take a chunk and keep some powder dry for dollar cost averaging but our mini-correction this past month looks behind us and I see this as a huge momentum stock right out of the gate. rightly so tho, not a lot of companies can take on AWS-dominated space and live to tell the tale.

  7. You and your ilk will not be swayed that your approach doesn't work despite decades of evidence to help influence.

    Because you and your ilk will always remain on the race issue platform, nothing will be done.

    It won't.

    So it's fucking pointless. All of this absolutely pointless.  Part of my spiritual system forces me know when items will not be meaningfully impacted, no matter my efforts. This thread and you, and my decades, DECADES of trying to educate people that WOD reform is the path of true solution goes unheard. 

    So... Because all evidence tells me, you and your ilk will steadfastly continue this path, no matter what, despite we all know it will produce zero results I am left with only one choice. 

    I must, for my own spiritual well being, let it go.

    I may at some point reexamine if my words and attempts at education will help, but for now, I can no longer care because it doesn't and won't. You and your ilk will forcefully continue down your unproductive and destructive path. 

    See you when the world starts burning.

    Good bye and good luck.

     

    “Statistics from 1998 show that there were wide racial disparities in arrests, prosecutions, sentencing and deaths. African-American drug users made up for 35% of drug arrests, 55% of convictions, and 74% of people sent to prison for drug possession crimes. Nationwide African-Americans were sent to state prisons for drug offenses 13 times more often than other races, even though they only supposedly comprised 13% of regular drug users.”

     

    “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people”

    “The WOD doesn’t oppress black people, piece of shit cops who are poorly educated, poorly emotionally equipped, do not like their authority questioned, and/or believe they were predestined by god to enforce racial hierarchy oppress black people.”

     

    swap out guns any other weapon and it holds true.

    swap out the WOD for any other legislation aimed at instilling “law and order”, and guess what?

     

    The WOD is whatever the cops say it is as they have all the discretion in the world and damn near zero accountability. The fact that Reagan literally sold drugs to black people while passing the Anti-Drug Abuse Act should further prove that the WOD was nothing more than a tool to further oppress black people at the hands of the police. The WOD, Poll Tax, Literacy Tests and other Jim Crow bullshit are just iterations of the same tool. Law enforcement and their discretion.

    Fuck it y’all have convinced me. 42% of the people in this country are hard core trump death cultists. Biden is NOT going to win the popular vote by 7M, and Trump is going to flip Minnesota and Nevada and hold onto Florida and Pennsylvania to win the EC

    I think it's more like 38% to 40%. I think Biden wins the popular vote by ~5-6M but Trump flips MN and holds onto FL, PA, and NC for the win. AZ goes Blue and NV stays Blue. Not sure if that gets him to 270 but I'm like 70% certain Trump wins. I truly and honestly believe Trump wins because (a) every single fucker I personally know who voted for him in 2016 will do so again in 2020 and (b) the polling stations and mail-in ballot fuckery is pretty widespread (every single state with an R legislature and/or R governor has literally zero oversight) and the dems have provided a pretty lackluster response on that front. #teambrisket

    I will say the military comments and woodward tapes brought down my confidence level from 75% to 70% so we got that goin for us.

  9. You’re a troll because in a million years you wouldn’t have posted any of the videos of BLM’s protestors screaming at and berating diners to make your point.
     
    Edit: but to cheeseweasel’s point, the guy doing the yelling is an absolute idiot

    y’all got plenty of the anti-BLM/pro-police videos, I don’t see you calling out [mention]MillerEP [/mention]as a troll...

    On a separate note: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/08/linden-cameron-police-shooting-boy-autism-utah

    cops shoot an unarmed, autistic 13-yr old.

  10. OKC was a bad matchup. Lakers without Avery Bradley don’t have the defensive bodies to throw at Harden and Westbrook 24/7. Rondo? Kuzma? JR? Waiters? Danny Green? LBJ and AD have to carry the offensive load so they aren’t really reliable. PJ Tucker needs to spend some time brushing up his corner threes. It’s been a rough couple games. Covington and Jeff Green are pretty impressive.

    Although, waiting around for extended period with naked dude in Rochester, NY in early March will end badly.

    yeah they were clearly worried about frostbite and his well-being when they put a blanket on him (which I bet every single police car is equipped with, since you know, it's fucking Rochester, NY in early March) as they pushed his face into the concrete. plus the paramedics literally showed up right as he went brain dead. 
    y'all wanna believe that most cops aren't like this but I bet you 75%+ of the cops in any precinct would have done the exact same shit. and that's the fucking heart of this issue. they literally fucking laughed about anal probing a dead black man they killed just moments before. ALL OF THEM.
