What kind of personal data?

If you give me $5, I will tell you if I went grocery shopping this week or not.

Stone paths. I was hiking in a large state park recently and came on a stretch of path that a seriously skilled stonemason built. It was beautiful. I stood there for ten minutes looking at how perfectly they matched the stones together.

I didn't sign for a weird thing.

I was going to go on a first date when the guy asked me to sign an NDA. He was attempting to be a content creator on YouTube, tiktok, etc., and thought he needed to start "protecting his reputation". I declined the date.

A man went on a misogynistic tirade and punched me.

He wanted some thing we were out of stock of. Then he wanted some other thing for free because we were out of stock of the first and I told him I could give a discount but not free. He got increasingly mad. I offered to have the store call him when we got the thing in stock, referred him to another store where they did have it in stock, offered coupons, nothing deescalated him. Lots of screaming, calling me bitch, cunt, whore, etc. He reached over the counter to punch me, which fortunately took a lot of power out of the punch and gave me enough time to shift so he hit my arms instead of my face (mostly).

I hit the panic button early on but the response was a couple min too late.

He was arrested and pled guilty without me having to talk in court, so that was nice.

"[...] despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."

So he's not being given his full prescribed amount? WTF. Give it to him.

I don't really care if this guy is trying to use ADHD as an excuse for his crimes or not. I DO NOT want judges and lawyers deciding if I really need my prescribed meds or if maybe I can get by on half. I would call that a human rights violation.

Just give him his damn prescribed meds. Full stop. His ADHD is then off the table as a possible excuse.

My family has rules and positions we vote on. We're all adults out of the parents' house. We collaborate on a lot of projects and travel together in different combinations; the rules, or guidelines really, make us more efficient.

I am often travel coordinator for joint trips. Someone else handles food coordination specifically. The youngest calls meetings, usually on a quarterly to yearly cadence, and publishes the meeting notes to a shared cloud drive. Another is in charge of coordinating a Christmas gift exchange. We've rotated being financial and medical backup/adviser to the parents and those roles also comes with responsibility to update the other siblings on major changes.

Employees living far away is not something I would want to incentivize for so many reasons.

Road trips before GPS and maps apps. Navigating off just paper maps and poor signage was not fun.

Why would they? It's takes work with no return. It's giving something of value (theoretically) for nothing in return, not even good relations for the restaurant since they are now gone.

"Train new people"

What do you think is going to happen if you hire a brand new person out of college, give them no directions, mentorship, processes, or procedures, and literally say "don't ask me, I pay you to figure it out"?

I can work in a "ask for forgiveness, not permission - move fast and break things" culture. But then people shouldn't be getting mad when shit breaks.

Their user numbers are available with a web search. Reddit useage dipped towards end of June but has mostly leveled out.

Quite a few mods left, which has had a larger impact than an equal number of general users leaving would. The niche topic sub I was involved in went from four mods to one half-hearted mod. The quality of posts has dropped. Almost every comment thread contains complaints. Reports are piled up.

Most surprising to me when I peeked at the sub this weekend was the amount of borderline-incel desperation and negativity. The sub is for a hobby that while slightly male majority, we had plenty of women contributing with minimal problems. Not anymore. If I were a woman looking at that sub for the first time, I would probably block it. It is so depressing and angry now, I barely recognize it.

A couple got caught behind the high school. Girl giving the blowie was made to apologize to the school over the PA system and then "encouraged" to go to a different school where she would "fit in better". Boy got no punishment.
