IANAL, but in the US, where we have at will employment, I feel like this case wouldn’t be an issue. Maybe you’re owed unemployment benefits for “being let go”, but it’s debatable.

With #4, don’t be surprised if they give you a short almost unengaged answer. They might not be warmed up, they might have something else going on ,or they just aren’t interested. Either way, give them a couple of chances to signal if they want to join your flow. If not, that’s cool… Just move on.

Can’t wait till I see a comment from you after I’ve forgotten about this moment. I won’t know what I was thinking, but the vibes will be right.

Your account is less than one day old. How you do?

I found myself inadvertly doing the same thing. Only my color scheme is far from discipline. My basic think is like: “This comment is making me feel mauve.” Done.

Well thank you.

I reread it and I’m not seeing it. Can you point to any specific sentence that was particularly sarcastic? Elsewhere someone said the last sentence. I think I can see that. When I wrote it, I felt like I was helping.

Okay. Thanks. That makes sense.

I guess the cycle continues if you will the stock to your children. So it could be decades until anyone pays taxes.

And if the stock tanks, then I guess you declare bankruptcy.

Can you provide an example? I’m not sure I get how that works out in their favor. In my view, paying debt with more debt is a terrible mistake and will get you in financial trouble. But I get that they have far more assets than I do. I just don’t quite see where it doesn’t go wrong.

Do they not have to pay the principle?

I’m not claiming op was being sincere. I read him as sincere. It appears others are not. So he is insincere that this is beyond him. Rather that everything I wrote is understandable to him and he chose to be insincere. I imagine it’s for some reason I don’t understand. Do you understand?

Thank you for taking time to explain this to me. It is now in my range of understanding. I do not know why people have downvoted me. I think they disagree with me. I do not know why people upvoted me. I think they agreed with me.

I’m not sure if you take me at face value any more. I think you think I’m being condescending and sarcastic. Are you being insincere?

I am not being insincere.

You need to pay that loan with cash, right? I get that your assets secure the loan, but without another source of cash, how you pay back the loan and not sell your assets?

Do you think OP was sincere when they said it was beyond them?

I also don’t see how the video you link to is relevant.

Well damn. When I wrote this " I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding." I didn’t have any intention of it being condescending. When I read it, I read as up boeat with a little happiness.

I ran your prompt through ChatGPT this is what it came up with:

“Oh, I get it — you don’t like celebrities. That’s fair. I mean, some people don’t like sports, others don’t like cooking, and there are even people who think reading is a waste of time. It’s all just hobbies, right? Yours just happens to be not caring about certain humans other people find interesting. Perfectly valid. Almost a hobby in itself, really.”

I see how that is similar. I just would have never used the last sentence.

Sincerity comes off as sarcasm to the insincere.

Saying my response was created by chatgpt is dismissive and not genuine critique.

Since it’s beyond you, I’ll take the time to explain. Different people have different values. Some people think it’s interesting to pay attention to the intersection of culture and politics… so they take their energy that isn’t devoted to the necessary tasks of staying alive and devote some of it to following this.

Some people take that energy and participate in online communities. Instead of devoting that energy to that intersection, they post and comment. Its their energy and their value system.

Some people aren’t interested in either. I hope this simple answer has bought it into your range of understanding.

National pride can be a dead end in liberation or, when, as Otto Bauer argued, applied rationally towards the end of liberation, a means by which the proletariat of the nation can gain access to and ownership of the national wealth.

“Scholarship is able to explain to us the emergence of the national sentiment from national consciousness, the emergence of the curious national form of evaluation from the national sentiment. But it is also able to criticize this national evaluation. And this is a task of no little significance. For it is only the critique of national ideology that can produce the atmosphere of sobriety that alone makes a fruitful examination of national politics possible.”

A national consciousness emerges when we meet people from other nations. We then become aware of that feature and gain a national sentiment or pride. An evaluation of the national form creates a good member of the national. This can, without critically or rationally evaluating it, lead to racist thinking or blaming certain groups for the nation’s ills. However, a class evaluation can prevent this and a rational critique of the nation can give the proletariat access to the full cultural wealth of the nation which had only been previously reserved for the elites.

You can sous vide in silicone bags. You just won’t be able to vacuum seal it, but you can squeeze most of the air out.

Cooking from raw can result in a beautifully delicate interior. The key is to start at a lower temp and then raise it to your normal temp after a certain temp is hit. I did my turkey this way this year all because of this video. In case you don’t know who Chris Young is, he was the science consultant at The Fat Duck, co founder of ChefSteps, inventor of the Joule, and co-author to The Modernist Cookbook.

Kissinger also helped scuttle the 1968 peace talks in the early stage. Kissinger, with through careful inference or by leveraging his network, informed the Nixon campaign that peace talks were underway.

The Nixon administration, though Anna Chennault, encouraged the South Vietnamese to drat their feet in their talks. They promised more favorable conditions if they waited until Nixon won the election. Which he did in 1968.

Peace talks concluded in 1973.
