Fun fact: Stonewall Jackson is on record as saying the South’s darkest days weren’t the capture of New Orleans or any other city of that matter, but rather its inaction following the first battle of Bull Run.

That’s when the war could have been won but - due to confederate dysfunction - sat there with a thumb up their arse looking at each other instead of pressing the initiative.


There were other opportunities for the South to win, including and especially better diplomacy to get UK and France involved. That probably would have required a commitment to wind down slavery - which they probably would have done anyway - but they failed on that front too.


Anyway, the South had its chances. They lost. Oh well.

Why are you roiding out over an interaction that didn’t actually happen when you wore your house slippers to Rouse’s this morning

No, there is something more to it than that. People thought of that already.

Yep. Both ways too.

WFH is a terrible idea for young people. Idc who you are, your work product only gets you so far. The rest of what you need is relationships and people who can see you’re a good dude/dudette they want to work with.

I’m a little older (40s) and do mostly WFH, but I’m under no impression that it’s better for my career to do so. I just make the tradeoff bc 1) it allows me more time with my young kids, and 2) I’ve progressed to a point in my career where I’d be fine if I had this same job until I retire.

When my kids are all in school then I’ll probably start getting after it again, but for now I’m making the tradeoff.

But again, dumbest thing in the world to do if you’re starting out and trying to get started.

Because some of us enjoy reading about and discussing history and the people who helped shape it? What a dumb attitude you have.

Half the OT beats off to this happening to them
