Профиль VivelyI have been very well rewarded and have advanced in my career by NOT job hopping. I am also aware that I am exception that proves the rule, and this absolutely is bad advice for most people.
BeijingPalmerwhat are things where your own experience and the view of what you think is good for most people vary wildly? For instance, I *hated* university and it was not at all interesting or useful to me intellectually, but am generally very encouraging of people going to university.
There is a reason ‘Shinzo Abe Assassinated With Effective Doohicky’ is rare, and ‘Man With Halberd And Pistol Dressed In Digital Camo Shot Dead By Secret Service’ is so common it barely makes the news
JakeIdk how to put this axiom exactly but “the people who have the greatest intellectual and material means to do [insert atrocity here] generally have the least personal incentive/desire to do so, and vice versa”
if you are someone whose mind can be changed by reading a study, you are in a sliver sized minority of Americans

M. Nolan Gray 🥑The more I've learned about how US building codes work, the more scandalized I've become. It almost makes zoning look good! Our codes, which are owned by a private entity, are updated constantly, with almost no research or cost-benefit analysis... www.housingwire.com/articles/mod...

Earl Blumenauer retiring was awful because he was the one guy I was certain would understand why e-motos needed to be cracked down on BEFORE e-bikes more generally ended up super over regulated
Ryan S.Everyone wants to throttle down the speed of fast ebikes to sub-20 MPH and ban them etc. sure I guess. But no one talking about the gradual creep of cars getting larger and ignoring speed limits and blowing thru red lights.
Folks, I think she did it again. The party maintains(?) its shittiest, least loyal soldier
JakeHas everyone locked and loaded their Marie Glucosecamp Parez jokes for later tonight?
Portland Police have more or less been on a wildcat work slowdown/strike since 2020 and I assume that’ll get a tad worse now. Idk shit about civ-mil relations as a practice area or academic discipline, but if I was the mayor I’d be staffing up on people who do.
Kaliko CastilleLooks like Portland Police aren't going to be able to raid PCEF to hire more cops when they can't even hire for the positions they already have open.....sorry about your luck!
