That seems counterproductive.

Guillotine demand goes up, guillotine production company stocks go up, guillotine production owners become rich, guillotine production millionaires felled by their own designs.

I am absolutely turgid with rage when someone calls me that.

Make life so expensive that having a kid is financially inviable and then carelessly release chemicals into the environment that causes low fertility or sterility.

Well after 10 years with the company, you can’t afford healthcare, so you might as well blow up a scale model first.

This is something you could buy with employee incentive reward points(company store dollars) that somehow made it onto shelves.

There was en email blast a few months back with a link to the discord. The link to the GitHub is on there.

He is just so awkward. It is like the antithesis of a bald eagle soaring majestically.

He’s onto us.

Necco wafers.

In this situation I would imagine him tapping OP on the shoulder or worse.

Humanity is already dead. Allowing him the chance to get to HR first to complain means you are going to be on the wrong side of things.

We don’t know his mental state or what he may do if rejected.

Without knowing more about the situation, the best response is impossible to determine.

Are they fixated on you because they think you have social needs?

Has everybody else told them off because he is annoying and by not telling him off you are granting some degree of (passive) acceptance that he is needing?

Is he romantically interested in you?

“Look man, I just have no interest in having work friends. I am here to do my job and go home. You are distracting me from doing my job and I don’t appreciate that.” Or whatever.

Going to HR may be the smart move to avoid him going to HR about you not being friendly or a team player or whatever nonsense if you professionally tell him off. I wouldn’t tell HR you are being harassed, just tell them that he is distracting you from work and don’t appreciate it. If he continues after HR talks with him, then tell HR you feel harassed.

You going to HR can also take place of talking to him yourself. You talk to HR and ask them to tell him to let you work, they talk to him so you don’t have to try and navigate his bullshit and you get the issue noted to support your side of things.

Verily. Commence the merriment aſ if we were foolſ!

Candles.

Class up the working environment with a room-warming candelabra.

What they don’t want is for you to not have to touch the blade to open the knife. So if there is a stud or protrusion that you apply leverage to on the blade, seems good.

What is nonsense about this law is the centrifugal deployment. If your pin that the blade rotates on is not tight and you can flick the blade out, illegal. What would be tight enough? You would have to make it hard to open with two hands because that officer deciding if you are legal can flick that knife as hard as they want. So you may not have the grip strength and/or skill to flick the knife out, but that officer can.

They want you to carry a Swiss Army knife or folding buck knife. Actually they don’t want you to ever carry a knife, unless you need one for work, which make sense because anyone working is magically unable to harm someone with a razor blade, linoleum knife, or duct knife.

Motrin(Ibuprofen) because it works better for me, assuming the migraine doesn’t cause me to puke it up right after.

Aspirin has never been of value to me and I would only take it if I had a heart attack.

Why do the people confess?

That is the only way it works.

I know of a multi-million dollar company that was about to launch a new marketing campaign. We are talking ads, dozens of trucks getting rewrapped, marketing materials, catalogs featuring the tagline; the whole nine. It would have been tens of thousands of dollars spent.

They used “loose” instead of “lose” in the tag. The error was caught by the CEO’s secretary without a degree.

It had gotten past upper management and the marketing department without being noticed.

Well it is called “homophobia” and a “phobia” is an irrational fear.

He lives his life in fear of two consenting men. Lol
