No, not him. Itās an older employee who does all the 3D drawings for our in-house testing equipment - or any kind of in-house equipment. And he bothers the shit out of me too: whenever I pass by his office while running around to try and meet the deadlines, heās slouching in his fucking chair reading the fucking newspaper or something. I suppose thatās the privilege of age or seniority cuz nobody says anything, but Iām not impressed.
I donāt know what happened with the other dudeās sudden passion for implants. Iām guessing it was a temporary fad.
Oh I think I see in what part you disagree.
Love the way you write btw.
Love for animals and plants or nature has nothing to do with who is above or below.
Undeniably, humans have the power to alter considerably the environment at will, and animals have no form to state their opinions inside the society we have created.
Humans have for centuries farmed animals to take advantage of their products, from fur, eggs, meat, to use them for their strength, abilities, etc.
Just like my cat had me working extra shifts because he would only eat expensive food.
Mind-reading device for a dog, cat, parrot, snake, tarantula. Itās been a dreams of humans to be able to communicate with their pets easier.
The natural state of the world and all biological things living in it has been affected time after time by the effects of humans.
Yet again, one tinny virus mutates and can PWN a large part of humanity.
One medium size ball of whatever falls into the ground from space and mass extinction all over again.
As much as humans have the ability to create, control and destroy at will, based on their own made concepts of worth, holiness, rights, they are also incapable to beat many natural events that we know exist, and will inevitably happen someday. Simple as avoiding ādeathā.
Better or above animals? Nah, I canāt just flap my arms and cross the city. Shake my butt and cross the ocean.
Damn, a couple of degrees change in temperature and my human body is already giving me issues. Not to even mention how grumpy, depressed or plain crazy some get when they are hungry, sleepy or horny.
Iām a cat lover, and I seem to be able to understand them just fine without any translator. Or rather, they seem to be able to order me around without any difficulty I rarely wonder why they meow or act the way they do.
The problem is, we pay penalties for every day weāre late. We could deliver at 2/3 production capacity, but at some point weāll have to pull everything apart and redo it anyway.
Do you own the company? Do you pay the late fees personally? I understand that this situation is frustrating, but you have done everything you can for the moment.
Relax, have a drink, and then tomorrow or Monday you can start to fix things.
Yeah yeah, Iām not at fault and I did what I had to. No issues there But I have my professional pride: I promised the damn thing on time and it wonāt be. Not my fault and all, and I know my boss knows it, but it still sucks
Itās 2:50 AM here, I am on-call for work, and I am sitting drinking a New Belgium Trippel (because I couldnāt find any real Belgian beers last weekend).
I think the secret sauce is curiousity. Weāre a very curious crowd, and that started with āI wonder what these implant thingies are?ā.
Thus we have collected a group of people whoās curiosity requires an open mind to explore new concepts. I canāt fathom riding a velomobile to work once, much less daily, yet my curiousity allows me to consider and explore the idea without negativity.
The same here, I suppose.
And that chest scarification was eye-opening to me. Normally, on the internet more so, people reject whatever is not ānormalā to them. Often as a gut reaction with a great deal of negativity. My reaction was to ask for more pictures so I could see what was going on.
Curiosity, itās not just for killing cats, it breeds civility too.
I rarely wonder why they meow or act the way they do.
