it’s just funny she took it personal
Found an insecurity. Probably should leave it alone in the future, unless you’re close enough for her to actually open up and let you help her work through it (very rare, not just among “work sisters” but even close platonic friends, in my travels.)
Same, but… know that OP is “only” 6’9"- standard (US) doorways are 6’8" - OP photo is in a smaller than normal room.
Would be interesting to make the same photo of a 5’4" woman in a scaled down room for her size and see how they compare.
Our training says, basically, anything that makes anyone feel uncomfortable - pretty much for any reason whatsoever - is harassment, and if there’s anything sexual in the context whatsoever, that makes it sexual harassment.
Our reality is that people who are overly sensitive and probably complaining to HR on a regular basis about “normal” (whatever that is) workplace behavior tend to be downsized due to a diminished need for their role within the company.
He touched me inappropriately!
She touched me inappropriately first!
Can you PROVE IT?
If it takes that much explanation, guarantee most people “don’t get where you’re coming from.”
Long before Tinder I matched / went on a date with a heavier woman who had obvious issues with her size. Not sure what she was trying to do, but apparently f a t was her trigger word, she instantly dissolved in a pool of irreconcilable tears. I made it clear I had no problem with the size, found her attractive as she was - even before saying the trigger word, but the fragility and deep lack of self esteem was more than I could handle.
Outsourcing.
The Linux Foundation receives approximately $133 million annually in membership dues and donations from its corporate and organizational members.
I don’t know who is arguing this because it’s incredibly stupid.
It’s not a hard question to solve: who profits from the argument?
Almost all modern architecture would collapse without the open source ecosystem.
If you yanked it away all at once, sure. Just like society would collapse if we quit delivering gasoline and diesel to the filling stations, or electricity to the grid.
If the opensource ecosystem “went closed” today, meaning: no new developments or changes allowed to be used by commercial entities, there would be an initial surge-panic to bring maintenance of the open source tools they use in-house, probably under shared development agreements - it would be interesting to see how the corporations handle that hypothetical scenario, but I don’t think they’d collapse at any greater rate than they already collapse as part of the course of regular business.
The ironic thing I think would come out of the open source community “cutting off” business use of their newly developed things is: I would predict business to adopt the open model to keep their customers off their backs, not have to handle support the way they did in the 1980s/ early 90s - that was super expensive as compared to: here’s a link to our website, you can find what you’re asking for in there.
Unpopular opinion at the moment, but Russel Brand and other celebrities may actually, genuinely, be unaware of how they might be pressuring their partners of the moment into doing things they are uncomfortable with - hard to know when that crosses the line into inappropriate, maybe impossible.
