The Layoff 2 years ago

Might have being going for “passed away”

Managers are people too and will have their own emotions they are dealing with.

The Layoff 2 years ago

About a decade ago I was doing a lot of travel for work - 140 plus flights a year over 6 continents level.

I remember watching a film, “Up in the Air”, about a guy who was contest flying from airport to airport to lay people off because the boss was too much of a wimp to do it himself.

I guess even his job isn’t safe from AI.

Sure some will manage to hack with prompt injection attacks, and potentially get compensation, but those attacks will be fixed.

A choice of two dystopia - one where your brain is controlled by a computer, the other where you are locked in a room.

Mail in on the U.K. is for a wel or two, but the envelope has to arrive by a certain date/time before the election.

The ballot closes at 10pm, counting starts as soon as the boxes arrive. The first places have counted about 50,000 votes and declared the Reilly by 11pm, most finish about 4am, 6 hours in. The final places (which rely on boxes to travel from various islands on ferries or helicopters) can take nearly 24 hours.

The U.K. has a system where experts in various fields like medicine and engineering are put in the lawmaking process, in addition to experts in becoming elected (ie raising money and selling non tangible ideas to people)

It’s not perfect of course, but in my opinion it’s better than a fully democratic system.

Sadly the majority of people who didn’t want this are also affected.

I had no problem with a bunch of daily mail readers giving up their freedoms it’s when they took the freedoms of me and my children away that I got annoyed.

Imagine if Texas seceded from the USA and suddenly anyone born in Texas had their American citizenship revoked

The RU did not have to remove the citizenship from millions of people who were born EU citizens and had no say in the minority decision to leave the EU

OPs citizenship was removed from him without his approval, based on the minority votes of U.K. and foreigners living in the U.K., it is a travesty.
