  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The CIA wrote a manual on how to do this. It's a bit old and parts of it are outdate for some times of work, but a lot of it is still useful.

  • Misunderstand orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders
  • Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products
  • Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done (some might say normal businesses do this as a matter of course...)
  • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible

Shit, 80% of the people I work with must have read that manual then. That’s a near daily occurrence.

Every web project manager I’ve ever had apparently lived by this manual.

I'm pretty sure this is our company policy

What about the flamethrower attack on the Geonosians?

This is also the perfect manual for how to cosplay as energy vampire Colin Robinson.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

is it? i think we need to hold a meeting to discuss the merits of using this as a manual for cosplaying as the energy vampire Colin Robinson. And for that matter the merits of using it as a manual for cosplaying as any other energy vampire. In fact i think we should make this a weekly standup to ensure continued validity of using it as a manual for cosplaying as energy vampires, Colin Robinson or not. I'll schedule it for monday morning.
