    What kind of hell do you work in? You’re boss deducts your wage for crying? If I had something happen while at work and started crying my boss would probably tell me to take the rest of the day off with pay and to let him/her know of I needed anything else.

    I’m in Texas in the USA… Probably one of the most anti-employee places to work and still get this… Is your boss literally Satan?

    Not to mention the amount of analog clocks that are just wrong. I work at a fortune 500 company, most clocks are digital and synced to a time server. Every analog clock is wrong. Just yesterday I walked through the cafeteria and glanced at the clock and it read 5:20… For a second I panicked and was like it can’t be that late. I checked my phone, it was 3:06. The clock was just not set properly.

    My favorite story about this is I had a friend who was smart but quick to jump to conclusions and not technical.

    He had a roommate who sometimes used his computer. He comes home one day to a message on the screen, full screen saying “This computer is locked by the NSA. We have detected illegal activity including child pornogry(yes spelt that way). You may send $300 in Walgreens gift card codes to (some yahoo email address I forget) or you will be arrested. This computer can not be unlocked.”

    He panics thinking his roommate did something, shut down the computer, removed the hard drive and memory.

    Two years later I hear about this and tell him it’s fake and let me take a look at it. Turns out the computer was not" locked". I got into the system by booting into safe mode. There was a program added to the start up folder of the start menu(this was in windows xp). That program literally just launched a window with that message, set to full screen with no close button. Out of curiosity I rebooted the system message popped up and I just hit alt-f4 and had full control of the system. These scans are designed for people to panic and not think critically.



  • Like I said I asked the question in good faith and did not mean anything negative. It was out of pure ignorance and the desire to correct that ignorance.

    I think the prime example of your point of “being on this land doesn’t make you Jewish” is the hagie sophiea. It’s a ancient place of worship that has been “owned” by multiple religions over the years.
