Yeah, I didn’t realize it as I was playing, but that was the first time playing a full contact sport for most of my teammates. And let’s just say some were using rugby as an alternative to therapy. Woo, there were some intense people playing. Excellent and unhinged athletes.
Worst rugby injury I saw firsthand was a woman taking a hard hit to her shin and her tibia shattered. Her lower leg sagged at a very unnatural angle as she screamed and then passed out from the pain. Multiple players on the field vomited at the sight.
Also where my mother, Jane Doe, née Smith grew up and where I adopted my first pet, Fido.
The name contains characters that make it unusable as an account security question.
Also when nervous. Which might tend to happen when someone notices someone observing them every time they adjust their hair.
Not that I said “read theory” not “make applicants take personality tests”.
“Needs the same kind of people is demonstrably stupid”… yet OP is headed in that direction and doesn’t appear to be stupid. Just lacking in exposure to other ways of doing things… thus reading about them is a way to close that knowledge gap
Leadership type books aren’t to be followed 100%. They are written for a person to take the 10% that best applies and is helpful to them. It’s why they’re so damn repetitive and obvious the more experience you have.
The takeaway is not “build a team of four people with these four styles”. That’s way too literal. It’s “see the value in a mix of people, and recognize strengths in others that you don’t have”.
You’re not interviewing for friends. “Team culture” in this case seems like shorthand for “someone just like me so I don’t get challenged”. I would suggest spending some time thinking about why scifi books in particular and what that says about you.
Look up any personality+leadership theory, DISC is a common one I’ve seen. Teams with a mix of personalities and backgrounds are more optimal than a team of basically the same person. Yes, even “ladder climbers” can be good for a team, provided they have other positive traits that go with it.
Can we poll the community for alternate names that would enrage Trump? If it’s gonna change, let’s have fun with it.
Gulf of Veganism and Low Cholesterol
Gulf of Checks and Balances
Gulf of 34 Felony Counts
Gulf of Cheetos (let’s get those sweet advertising dollars while we’re at it)
Gulf of Insecurity
Kamala-Clinton Gulf
I think the better advice is to find a trusted friend in one’s local culture instead of troll-y internet randos who could be on the other side of the world.
The woman who makes direct eye contact with you while adjusting her ass crack hairs definitely has some sort of feelings towards you.
Be careful with this one. As someone who has to be intentional about making eye contact, it does not mean I like you.
And moving hair is just… moving hair.
The 9/11 suicide attacks. I didn’t know until a couple days later that a relative died during it.
Huh, do they really change names of international things when only one party says so?
Denali/McKinely is one thing, it’s part of the US. But the Gulf of Mexico is a mix of US, Mexico, Cuba, and international waters. I wonder what they show Google Maps users who are in Mexico.
I just went into my RSS reader and searched for “Wikipedia current events” and clicked subscribe.
Trump being removed from office isn’t the only goal one could have in protesting. Influencing members of Congress and the public can also come out of protests.
And like, what else are people supposed to do? Roll over and take it all? Fuck that noise.
My college campus was crawling with them back in the day. I have a few friends who got hooked. Only one is still a Scientologist and unfortunately cut off all friends and family. I am still friends with his brother and he doesn’t even know where his brother is.
Get home from a work trip and go into a deep introvert-recharge cycle. Lots of sleep. Solo hobbies and comfort foods. The most socializing I will do is asynchronous texting with two particular people, everyone else is getting ignored for a couple days.
I think the community I miss on reddit is less and less feasible these days with anything and everything being scraped for privacy-violating databases.
I really enjoyed the small backpacking subs where people would post trip reports and photos of their campsites. Bonus if their adventure dog was also in the photo. They were very much a mix of humble-brag but also-the-world-is-awesome-celebrate-with-me positivity. There’s less of that here on Lemmy. And I can’t even be critical because I also stopped posting such things as much, I am way more cognizant of posting any photo, even if I’m not in frame, that could be used to identify me or be a data input to anyone’s file on me.
I used the word poesy in a written assignment, as in the art of poetry. The teacher didn’t recognize it as a real word and deducted points from my grade. She had a policy that we could correct and resubmit for half points, so I did that but didn’t change the word, I just helpfully gave her the definition in a footnote.
Shocked, naive, innocent little me didn’t not know what to think when she took that as an insult. I was only trying to help her, didn’t she get that?!?
This was one of a handful of events when my sister started implying I might have a neurospicy brain. IDK, maybe, but I was just being accurate so I didn’t really see that as anything I needes to address. I thought the overly-sensitive and factually incorrect teacher was the one who needed to self-reflect.
You know women does not equal extrovert, I hope?
“Women be bitchy unless I am bitchy first” is just too neatly packaged for internet woman-hating bait. Is this AI or someone trying to karma-farm reddit style?
