Showing up 15 minutes early for an interview is basically trespassing.
Our receptionist notified me that a UX designer was waiting in the lobby at 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. slot.
I walked out and asked why he was trying to steal company time before he was even on the official payroll.
He said he just wanted to account for traffic and make a solid first impression.
I told him that aggressive punctuality indicates a fundamental inability to accurately estimate project timelines.
He asked if he should go wait in his car until the exact minute.
I said no, the damage to his cultural fit score was already permanently done.
I made him sit facing the lobby wall until exactly 10:00 a.m. so he could think about his schedule.
Then I canceled the interview entirely because his anxious energy was too disruptive.

@hr_unhinged How fucking stupid can things get? Fyckvyoye culture score. Please post the name of your company so many of us can actively protest your company and call out your absolutely retarded prospective to hiring.

@shanerkidwell It's the taking of funds for any purpose OTHER than benefiting first responder retirees that's at issue. Those funds should be moved to LEOFF 2 when LEOFF 1 reaches its sunset date. WA wants the money to fight the climate.

HB 2034. The bill itself will be necessary as the LEOFF 1 pension system is nearing its end. It is over funded and the bill will dictate what happens with that surplus as well as other details that have to do with shutting it down. $569 million of that will go to the Climate Commitment Act. The CCA earmark was not in the original bill, this appears to have been added on February 7th. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?Bi…

Washington just became the first state in U.S. history to terminate a public employee pension plan.
The plan belongs to retired police officers and firefighters. LEOFF Plan 1 was 160% funded as of June 2024 per the state's own actuarial valuation. It had not required a single contribution in 25 years. By 2029 it was projected to reach 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus.
The legislature terminated the plan, swept $3.9 billion, and is using $880 million of it to refill a rainy day fund it already drained to cover a deficit it created.
Days ago, retired first responders including former Congressman Dave Reichert sued the state to stop it. The bill passed the House 55-39 and was advanced out of Appropriations without a public hearing. Every yes vote was a Democrat. The governor signed it in April.
I publish the full research and sourced breakdowns on Substack every week. Search Shane Kidwell if you want the deeper dive.
I sacrificed my body and a good chunk of my life for our state, they committed to providing a benefit for me and raided it.

Florida is on the verge of SLAMMING the door on illegal immigration in a way no other state has dared to do.
A new bill would BAN illegal immigrants from holding bank accounts, receiving loans, home ownership assistance, getting licenses and more.
Do you firmly support Florida on this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!

Today, I joined some friends at a nice restaurant in Colorado for lunch.
There was a table of 8-9 Muslim women in traditional burkas at an adjacent table. When desert was brought out, they all did the zaghrouta in Arabic. (You know, the loud lalalalalala).
And it got me thinking, how did they get here?
Why are they here?
What do they do here?
What do their husbands do here?
Why not immigrate and leave those cultural norms behind? Sing “happy birthday” like the rest of us.
Take the towels off your head.
You come to a country with freedom and continue to live the same way?
And then I thought…this isn’t normal.
I don’t want to see more of this.
I don’t want to share tables with people who want me dead for being a Christian.
I don’t want them in my country, state or city.
I don’t want to be “tolerant.”
I want simply, NOT to have them here at all.
This isn’t about bigotry, it’s about preserving one’s own comfort, culture and way of life.
And I know I’m not alone.

@Vantro3 I just want accountability. Rules for thee but not for me is really pissing me off
English

I seriously don’t want to hear about any more FRAUD or about all the corrupt, treasonous shit our government has done to us, or about how NGOs are just a cesspool of criminals stealing from us while doing the democrats bidding, or, or, or….
The rage I feel cannot be put into words. I want every single dollar I’ve been forced to pay in taxes returned to me.
Until we see mass arrests and mass accountability, I don’t want to hear from another politician ever. I’m so fcking sick & tired of it all.

In 1900, John D. Rockefeller controlled approximately 90 percent of all petroleum refining in the United States. He was, by some calculations, the richest private individual who had ever lived.
He had a problem. Scientists were discovering that compounds derived from coal tar, a petroleum byproduct, could be used as synthetic medicines. Aspirin, derived from coal tar, had been launched by Bayer in 1899. The petroleum waste stream Rockefeller had previously had to dispose of could now be sold back to the public as medicine at a markup of roughly 10,000 percent.
He had another problem. American medicine in 1900 was a competitive ecosystem of homeopaths, herbalists, naturopaths, osteopaths, midwives, and traditional doctors who used food, plants, water, and lifestyle as the primary tools of healing. Approximately half of all American medical schools taught some form of natural or alternative medicine.
Rockefeller bought into the German pharmaceutical industry, eventually taking a substantial stake in IG Farben, the conglomerate that included Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst. He then commissioned a report.
The report was written by Abraham Flexner, an educator with no medical training, funded by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, and published in 1910. It declared that natural and alternative medical schools were unscientific quackery. It recommended the closure of more than half of all American medical schools and the standardisation of the rest around medicine based on synthetic patented drugs.
Congress acted. Half of American medical schools closed within a decade. The remainder accepted Rockefeller and Carnegie funding on the condition that their curricula be reorganised around pharmaceutical treatment. Nutrition was removed. Herbal medicine was removed. Lifestyle intervention was removed. The doctor's job was redefined: diagnose the symptom, prescribe the drug.
The drugs were petroleum-derived. The petroleum was supplied by Rockefeller-controlled refineries. The medical schools were funded by Rockefeller. The journals were funded by Rockefeller. The AMA was supported by Rockefeller. The hospitals were funded by Rockefeller.
By 1925, the American medical system was a vertically integrated extension of the petroleum industry, operating under the marketing slogan that it was scientific.
This is the system that exists today.
The pharmaceutical industry generates approximately $1.5 trillion in annual revenue. The American population, 4 percent of the global total, consumes approximately 50 percent of all pharmaceuticals manufactured.
The system was not designed to make people healthy. The system was designed to manage symptoms in a way that produces lifetime customers. A healthy patient is a former customer. A managed patient, who takes the pill every day for the rest of their life, is an annuity.
The objective has always been to keep you in that profitable corridor between healthy and dead.
Long enough to keep buying. Not so well that you stop.
The doctor who advises you to fix your metabolism by changing your diet is, from the point of view of the system that trained him, a defective product. The doctor who prescribes you a statin, a metformin, an antidepressant, and a blood pressure medication for life is performing exactly as designed.
The system was designed by an oil baron who needed to sell the waste products of his refineries.
It still functions, 116 years after the Flexner Report, exactly the way he designed it.
You are the customer.
The corridor is where you live.
