I don’t want you to come to me with problems. I want you to come with solutions. I’m going to schedule some action orientated soft skills training for you next month. There is a push to increase our education KPIs so budget is available.

😬 I am familiar with the PTSD trigger words.

Noted. I’ll talk to Jeff in FX and get all the .wav files reversed. Shouldn’t add too much to storage. I wonder if lip sync will be affected? I’ll mention it to Sue when she gets back next week.

Can’t you just swap x for -x. Run some unit tests just in case. We’ll push to prod next Wednesday. Sound good? Got to dash, strategy meeting started 5 minutes ago. Seeyoubye.

I’m having a go at the reasoning more than the value. If having matching phones and headphones is important for social status then something is very wrong somewhere.

I’m not arguing they shouldn’t have a phone. I’m saying there is absolutely no need to have exactly the same model and headphones.

That’s says there is something wrong with their social group.

The phone was bought so the friends could match. This implies there is something negative about them not matching.

A discussion about materialism, peer pressure and fashion is what is needed.

This logic is fine for concerts, restaurants etc. but it doesn’t stretch to friends having the same model of phone.

What do you tell it now?

Saying goodbye to the bereaved at the end of the funeral.

“Thank you, I had a lovely time”

since several USA universities are in the top schools worldwide then clearly they’re going to accept the most qualified applicants from all over the world

Only for teaching and research. The only reason for undergraduates to be foreign is because they pay more.

have you guys forgotten what ‘Ivy league’ actually means

“Planting the ivy” was a customary class day ceremony at many colleges in the 1800s.

The “league” part is related to Athletic events between schools.

What was your point?
