Alabama has to be thrilled that Florida exists.

I will check that out. Should be a good listen.

Comedy gold! NSFW language and probably offensive.

I think the 2012 Orioles had more veterans and more names you’d recognize on that team. I can see why you’d make that comparison though.

That was a good series and the Nats certainly look better than they have over the past couple seasons. I like the aggressiveness on the basepaths in particular. Your team reminds me of the 2022 Orioles, a team that won 31 more games than they did the previous year. That team played a lot of close games, came from behind a lot and had that never say die attitude. I really, really like CJ Abrams, that's a great piece to build around. I hope the Nats rebuild goes well and it'd be awesome to see a Nats/Orioles World Series in the near future.

Man, RIP Steve Albini.

Finding out that Macklemore’s real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty might be as close as I’ll ever come to a real life “his real name’s Clarence” moment.

Wemby unanimous rookie of the year. Unanimous dick riders.

Yeah, I don't get the "I missed a graduation so boo ****ing hoo" aspect of it.

Politico doing nothing to dispel the George Soros boogeyman that the conservatives love to bring up. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/05/pro-palestinian-protests-columbia-university-funding-donors-00156135

Three Year Letterman has made his way into the Palestine protests. Well done.

Well I wanted to ignore this thread but since you asked... I really don't care about the months/years, I really care about the reasons why they left and I look for patterns if there are any to be found. Sometimes people have had a few horses shot out from under them and their reasons are something like "they hired me but then they lost a few clients and couldn't afford to keep me anymore, so since I was the most recent one hired, I was the first to be let go," "we merged with another company and there were layoffs," "my company said I could work from home when Covid started, I moved, and then all of a sudden they said I had to be back in the office," etc. If it's line after line of "I didn't like my boss/my boss didn't like me" or "I had to stay late on a Friday because a server went down and that really upset me," I'm probably not interested in continuing the conversation.

Kendrick is swinging on Drake like Mike Tyson in '87 and I am here for it.

The best recruiting call I ever heard happened 8 or 9 years ago when I was working at a boutique IT recruiting agency. There were about 10 of us in the office and only one of us was on the phone. That was kind of rare, but it allowed us to listen in on one particular call. The recruiter that was on the phone was probably the greatest recruiter I've ever met. At the time he was about 30 years old, had been a former track star in college, had 3 DUIs under his belt and bragged about the chicks he picked up on the weekends in an effort to stay in the closet and truly just did not give a **** about anything or anyone and depending on the day could let you know exactly that. But he got more people hired at our clients than anyone. So he's on the phone with a candidate who wants a job at a client we're working with and he's asking question after question about why this candidate hasn't been able to hold a job for more than 6-8 months at a time for the past several years. "Okay, so in June through October of 2014 you were at this company, why'd you leave?" He stops asking questions and then repeats the candidates reasons back to him. "Okay, so you left this company because you had a problem with the manager. And you left the next one because you didn't like the boss. And you left this one because you had a disagreement with co-worker and couldn't stand working with them....You left this one because..." And then he summed it up. "I can't do anything for you. You have a 'you' problem. You're the problem in every reason you've left a job, you are the common denominator." So yeah, Ren, it's the responsibility for each generation to teach the next generation lessons but sometimes the truth hurts. A wise man once wrote, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest," and that statement rings true in a lot of areas but it especially rings true in work environments. I've spoken with hundreds of clients over the past 15 years, and thousands upon thousands of candidates. Anywhere from three to ten calls a day listening to people explain why they want to leave their current job or why they feel like they deserve something or what they want out of their next career move or why they can't find a job, etc, etc, Monday through Friday for 15 years. To say I'm a bit jaded and cynical would be an understatement. And to be clear, I'm jaded and cynical just not with candidates but the clients, too, so I'm well aware about the bull**** that's on their end. But I do know one thing for sure; in the similar vein of how it never hurts to be the best dressed person in the room, it also never hurts to be the hardest working person in the room. These things said, I am still cynical and jaded and I really don't give much of a **** past this. So I'll let you have the final word and continue to ignore this thread.

Awwwww the poor little Gen Z kids feel trapped in a job they don’t want. Awwwwwww
