See the Kari Lake thread…Cement et al a week ago all bravado, suddenly got a bit quiet over there.

So 78% reporting. What’s the consensus expected outcome? A page or two back, a few of our resident friends were bragging on Lake

Yeah like a lot of folks he was hilarious when I was a kid. He was actually at the ROT rally like a decade ago, and his humor really didn’t age well…and my buddies were like ‘was he always this racist?’ but it def suited the audience

Maybe they should move for a bad court thingy

She reminds me of a few of my friend’s wives, who got all into real estate 5-10 years ago with inane fervor. Now that the market has cooled way off their desperate Facebook pleas to sell listings suddenly gave way to desperately-upbeat MLM supplement sales. Flavor of the day.

In all seriousness I bet Tesla and SpaceX are loving this, while Musk fucks with his $44B fidget spinner, the other two companies he ‘runs’ are likely relieved to get down to work without him twiddling with everything. When I ran Tac Ops for a VP, I just need his decision then to get the hell out of the way so I could execute to his thoughts on comp and ben, travel, headcount horse trading, etc. When dad was still AD USAF he’d loathe visits by O7+ types because real work ground to a halt as all his airmen had to do sad shit like clean out the smoke pit and rake leaves…not doing those things would inevitably lead to some O5 EA passing on that General So and So was going to personally conduct the next readiness, thus making everyone else miserable. Can’t imagine what a visit by Musk be like.

Latest drop widened the lead. Sucks but appears he won’t get it, but damn was it close. I’m sure Boobert says ‘mandate’ a few dozen times in the next week.

Colorado heavy on mail ins that need signature verification

Fair enough, obviously everyone’s experience is different and a bit unique based on a myriad of factors across the company. - We always had a lot of folks on the phone, even for in-person meetings…life of a global footprint - I’ve found this to be true…but it depends on who I am working with. Someone who likes to be chatty, or is lonely? Then it’s gonna drag on because there’s no one knocking on the room door to kick you out. - Can totally see missing hallway chats…my own team was hybrid for years, are all long-tenured and got to establish personal relationships before Covid. We are comfortable using Teams to throw shit against the walls and waiting for feedback. Obviously not all teams are like that. - I personally feel more productive, but I don’t really work hours anymore…if I’m busy I’ll focus and bust ass…if I’m not I’m taking a nap, and am more recharged for when it’s full tilt boogie time. I’ve got two young kiddos so I get Daddy’d to death regularly, so very much enjoy a quiet house to recharge in my own way. I also eat better, save gas/wear on my car, shit in peace, etc. My point isn’t really pro/con, it’s more being a proponent for organic policies that suit the unique needs of individual people…not paying blanket policies that pigeonhole people based on perceptions of execs I have never met. Sorta like my political stance.

Nowhere near over and despite mass confusion on how many ballots are left and from where, most are still predicting she wins. Regardless it wasn’t supposed to be close so I’m glad she’s sweating it out.

I’ll never understand the hatred of WFH for industries that can support it. Obviously if you’re working the line at Tesla, on an engineering team at SpaceX, or otherwise close to some kind of manufacturing/assembly then it’s a requirement. Maybe it suites his vanity or he’s using anecdotal experience, regardless I think he’s wrong for blanket policies. You’d think shifting the infrastructure costs onto your employees would be a good way to save money, especially at a place like Twitter with no hard product. I bet they see more brain drain. Thankfully my employer has a long history of enabling remote work, and is on the record as being comfortable with a hybrid capability. The few times I’ve gone into the office there is a mix of people practically in PJs and others in full suites, and if it is what works best for them…great. There’s been no decline in corporate performance.

Alright so a guy literally known as NoName…on a forum full of aging assholes who hand whataburger bags of cash to tight ends, sent a member dressed as Pedobear to a football game, harbored the rock thrower and gave a bolt-on cam girl the courage to run for city council…has more business sense and cohesive arguments than the richest guy in the world. No wonder none of my friends take me up on joining here, I can’t explain this shit.

I’ve had to stop following on Twitter and just assume Boobert is going to eek it out…there’s insane over analysis on mail vs in-person, totals by counties, etc. Latest is 1k uncounted in Mesa county could be the chunk that gets her over the top.

Colorado done counting for the night per Thorongil. Looking gloomy based on those found ballots.

Laughed this morning upon seeing those OneFamily choad faces turned off comments on their FB page

Not relevant to most but man was I glad to wake to seeing the One Family lunatics roundly rejected (like prior restraint, Walter) here for RRISD board membership. I’ve posted before about my idiot neighbor and his big sign, canvassing the neighborhood and handing out flyers. Fuck that ‘ABC’s and 123’s not CRT or LGBT’ nonsense. We teach our children it’s ok to like who you like, that it’s ok for people to marry other boys/girls as they see fit, and to love people for their character not their appearance.

Well the needle still has it lean Repub so assuming the uncounted votes are all rural?

Anyone know if there are live results on the RRISD board? Can’t seem to find anything. And Penn counts mail in votes first, so don’t get jimmys rustled about Fetterman yet.

My only beef with the ads in CR is the bottom, and on a fast-moving thread where I get ‘new post’ notifications, the ad blocks my ability to show latest. A few I can X out of but most are undefeated

All right I’m legit stoked to see how repubs fix the economy and terminate inflation…right? RIGHT? Or will we see them inherit changes currently underway and claim victory, or neuter the fed to prop the markets up at the expense of more inflation? I’m glued to my seat
