Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her
  • Thank you for sticking up for your employees. Had a similar thing happen where I was part time for a few months until things picked up. While it was difficult I appreciated that I had an income for then. And he gave me a stellar reference for if my finances got too tight and I needed to start searching.

    This is why managers need to be included in firing decisions. The fact that Brittany here wasn't able to have that dignity enrages me.

  • ..Aaand We're Back
  • It's the circle of pirate. Companies will never learn the only way to break it is to actually provide a decent service. They'll dip into being good, then run back to the same old same old.

  • What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?
  • I watch the anime gurren lagann. It's a stupidly chaotic optimistic show that basically asks "but what if humanity really could do anything?"

    Answer: we would throw around galaxys like frisbees in giant space robots.

    So when I'm down I like to watch it and think maybe I can do anything if I believe.

    Linus Tech Tips pauses production as controversy swirls
  • Agree that I was ok with the apology (this was before I read Madison's tweets). But then Linus came on camera and he was instantly getting emotional and defensive. Immediately any goodwill that had been regained by Yvonne and Terren were wiped clean.

    Then I saw the Madison news and unsubscribed.

    I hope they recover, if only for the 100+ people who work for them and rely on lmg for income. But if not I wouldn't personally be upset.

  • Why is the bridge shaking so much?
  • Ah yes the fort pitt bridge. People were having trouble changing to their lane in time so they added a new feature to shake your vehicle over a couple lanes. Also gave an improvement on traffic since the far lanes get shaken off the bridge. All in all the bridge is now a good boy.

  • Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
  • Ah. I get it. So the correct answer is something that a lot of people leave over! Let's see... Micromanaging? Lack of benefits? Commute times? Oh silly me, it's ping pong tables of course!

  • Anyone got the scoop on /r/pics protest? Looks like it got reverted to the old rules/sidebar today
  • Mods could have forced reddits hand. If they had all striked and stopped modding at the same time. Leave it open, leave it up. But every single mod just walk away and watch reddit try desperately to backfill thousands of mod teams. But they played games instead cause they didn't want to lose power or thought their little subreddit was important.

  • How to start with sewing?
  • If you want some project ideas to start with smaller projects would be a tote bag, little cinch purse, scrunchies. Cute hammock and cage accessories if you have a small animal pet. A gathered skirt with an elastic waistband is also a great starting point as it's more forgiving for measuring. Apron patterns would also be simpler and make good projects.

    Cottons are generally less slippery than polyester and are easier to cut and sew since the layers will stick together better as you hold them instead of sliding against each other.

    Stick with standard polyester thread to start.

    I hope this helps with picking some projects and fabric. But don't be afraid to try something if you really love the project idea. The best way to learn is to try! Good luck
