  • Toss up : a coworker who I would have counted as quite intelligent said we haven’t been to the moon because “it’s impossible to launch a rocket to the moon and land on it because rockets go in a straight line. Trying to time the shot of the rocket, and get to the moon at the exact moment when the moon gets to the right spot would be astronomically impossible. The odds of pulling that off at the speed you would be traveling and the distance you travel… Well the odds are effectively zero.”

    "Also you can’t catch up to the moon because the moon is traveling faster then our rockets can go "

    Either that or a prochoice individual who voted for Trump…


  • Part of the problem is a lot of programs that people who understand tech think is simple or obvious is actually stupidly wrote and confusing and illogically set up.

    Older people rely on logic. And most interfaces are the opposite of logical.

    Younger people have this idea of "press a bunch of buttons and once you see how it works, then memorize the steps ".

    I’m going to guess that she has said something to the effect of “why is this so complicated”?

    The only issue I take is that she won’t keep track of the new password that she creates. That to me is laziness.














  • I’m over 50 I’ve had numerous jobs and I’ve never had a job where the people at that workplace would wanna hear my political opinions. It’s understood you keep your politics out of the workplace. If that means you have no respect for me well so be it. But no one wants to hear your opinion at the workplace and no one wants to hear mine the workplace.

    Maybe in your country it’s acceptable, but I’ve had jobs throughout a number of states in the US never had a job where it was acceptable.

    As for freedom of speech. Yeah your freedom of speech only applies to what the government can do about you saying something.

    Has nothing to do with how your coworkers view you or treat you.





  • Not necessarily.

    Think of it this way. A graphic designer should get paid each time they create something and each time it is used, or they get paid a LOT for creating it then it is used as much as the new owner wants. We are seeing cases where someone creates something, gets paid a small amount then it’s stolen after that.

    Designers can’t stay in business

    Think of the person that spends money to create a song, the song has one person who buys it for $1 (normal customer) then everyone else illegally downloads it. Can the artist stay in business? Can the artist afford to continue making music?

    It the graphic designer has their stuff stolen, put into ai and people use the work to create other works. The designer is now going to have to charge an insane amount to create other works. Now the cost to hire a designer is so high that many people just settle for ai.

    Your statement of old enough to not remember things that well, implies memory issues.

    Has he always been this way or just recently? If it’s recently then have him see a specialist about his memory. There could be a bigger problem there. Memory problems can show up earlier then you realize.

    Did his memory of events change recently?
