I know politics are not allowed but I can't help myself, have to post.
>“I don’t know Mr Libby,” Mr Trump said in a quote provided alongside a statement announcing
>the pardon, “but for years I have heard that he has been treated unfairly. Hopefully this full
>pardon will help rectify a very sad portion of his life.”
BTW first post in the lounge.

That's what the soapbox is for -- when you can't help yourself.

Didn't know who "Mr Libby" was, or what he did, what his relationship to Trump is, or why Trump might want to "pardon" him for whatever he did, until I looked it up just now.
And now that I know, I still don't understand exactly why you "had to post" as it pretty much sounds like a non-event.

someone had to, so it might as well be me.

I'm not convinced of that.
So far, others seem to agree.

"Trump"? Trump who? Pardoning whom for what?
I don't watch the news very much - it's very comforting.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

And I don't know this Mr Trump, but he sure made America a great source of entertaining news (again?)!
Mission accomplished!

Very true. Every day. It is like when he isn't saying something stupid it almost makes one wonder if he seriously ill.

That was the goal of the "Make America Great Again" slogan.

He did basically come directly from a reality show, so maybe that was his real plan.

No, you did not have to sh*t post in the Lounge. Looks like you have 4 votes for an inappropriate post.

That kind of behavior will backfire as soon as a even bigger dick comes around the corner.

Good that you told me. I was about to become a commedian myself and try them out. All at once.

Got it now I need a trick to remember them.

Better trick: STFU.
How's that saying go again? Better to be thought a fool and remain quiet, than open your mouth and remove all doubt...?

Namaste, Ravi-ji,
I see some dangers in appearing "smart" in meetings:
1. others may be insulted if it appears you understand their work better than they do.
2. you may be perceived as volunteering for difficult tasks.
3. management may see you as not "challenged enough" by your current job. that might embarrass your boss.
Perhaps it's safer to appear dull, or average smart, but not stupid ?
cheers, Bill

How to survive in the Marketing Dept. For you engineers thinking of moving to marketing, it's a cut-throat environment.

Just study a few of random Corporate B.S. Generator[^] sentences and casually mention them half-meeting.
Example:
Me: "So in conclusion I say we should rewrite the application to use NoSQL." (mentioning NoSQL gives you bonus points and stresses out other devs)
Someone else: "Yes Sander, I know what you mean, but are you sure this will... quickly supply quality catalysts for change?" (nice comeback!)
Me: "..." (can't recover, I've been defeated because this guy is so brilliant)
Explanation:
As you see "someone else" took charge of the conversation by over-bullshitting me.
NoSQL was a nice touch, but perhaps a little too specific, keep it general and vague for maximum results.
Success guaranteed
