You need to treat them nicely and maybe show a bit of romance. Poems, flowers, even a printed picture of flowers, something nice that will last is all it takes and your instruments will work perfectly for you. Each person may need to contribute individually to the shrine.

I swear, some damned tech came in on a PM and removed my poem from my favorite HPLC and now it's been acting up for me nonstop.

Yeah, some companies seem to be allergic to standards, hence the need for the final disclaimer.

Oh, this shit is funny!

Offset is a platform that aims to generate high integrity, premium carbon credits from industrial sabotage and direct actions. At the heart of our work is an innovative new methodology for quantifying the climate benefits of political actions that publically disrupt carbon flows.

...

Our Approach

Carbon offsets apply the logic of capitalism to atmospheric interactions. This logic assumes that all activities on earth can be quantified and abstracted, and therefore exchanged. Offsets produce the capacity to outsource the effects of one’s consumption—at the scale of the individual, the corporation, or even the nation state—to someone, somewhere else, even to the generations of the future. In short, many existing carbon offset markets act to maintain a status quo rather than address root causes of the climate catastrophe.

In contrast, the Offset platform includes a registry of alternative offsets that focus on social exchanges and political actions in order to contribute to a program of highly financialized radical change.

...

Institutional Support

Offset (version 0.1) was commissioned by the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, for Data Relations.

C or AC = clear all

CE = clear entry

That said, there are variations based on brand and model.

Easy solution: don't go. You're leaving, you don't owe them your time.

And your email account will never recover. They'll sell it like it's going out of style.

Seconded. I think they are usually $2-3 per month depending on the frequency of use.

Lol, what? WTF kind of advice is this?

NO. You talk him like a peer and respectfully say "stop," you don't run to the fucking work police and try to get his ass in trouble because he's annoying you and you never told him you were annoyed. Why would you complain to HR because someone annoyed you when they don't even know they did it?

Sure, let's just escalate this shit and make his life worse, guarantee he'll be pissed off at you because you didn't react like a reasonable person, you did what the institution that most alienates you from your humanity suggested ( your workplace, complain to HR), and make the entire situation worse than it ever needed to be. Let's just jump to firing the guy while we're at it, because a negative tip to HR for a person in their probationary period might be that anyway!

Fuck off with this advice.

Going to HR at this point in this situation DOES mean you aren't a team player. It's like shooting your teammate's knee out instead of passing the baton if you were running in a relay race.

Talk to the man like a human.

In 2023, the US government returned the remains of some children who were sent to the boarding schools (it's still ongoing). Aside from the bones of children, there were also animal bones. Why were there animal bones mixed in? Because the children's remains were pulled from where the school's rubbish was buried. Separating the bones after all this time would be difficult.

I can think of no better reflection of how the US government treats indigenous people wherever it encounters them. Indigenous Americans have probably received some of the worst treatment. As always, actions speak louder than words.

The people who dug up graves in the early 20th century just didn't see the locals as people, though, which is also why most of those museums were in Europe, not anywhere near where the artifacts were found

The people who inherited those artifacts also don't see locals as people.

Also

A pharaoh is a king, and fuck the king.

Agreed. We should let the descendents of those they ruled over decide what to do with the legacy of those kings, not the thieving invaders who likewise viewed themselves as better than the locals.
