    The PM is where the disconnect happens, but in a bad environment that's what the upper managers want.

    The simple test: Your schedule is blown. Everybody can see that critical path is longer than the remaining schedule. Does the PM go to management and marketing to start managing the late delivery and/or missing features that's GOING TO HAPPEN or do they start cracking whips and blathering about '110%', expecting someone to pull a solution out of their ass?

    I think the PM role should be on the project technical leads plate, it's not difficult if you're already buried in it. Splitting the roles is only good for fucking it up. The tech lead is responsible for the project, (s)he should have authority to match. The schedule is part of the project plan, the tech lead and industry knowledge expects are the ones to make the plan. Not some clueless 'MS project jockey' who's never slung code.

    The old cliche: 'Projects are always on time, until the deadline.' is an indictment of project managers. They sure the fuck know the schedule is blown. But often paid for 'whip cracking, crack using and upper management pole smoking'. That disfunction is deeper.

    Loser pays own bill plus the lower of the lawyer bills to opposing counsel. Unless lawyers themselves and self representing, then idiot pays other side's bill.

    Otherwise big money will be toxic to sue.

    But how often did you see awesome Thai back in the day? Today almost as good weed is insanely common.

    I personally grew 10 pounds of 20%+ last summer, in my CA backyard. I've been growing for 30 years now, the main difference is less stress.

    As opposed to Weinstein? Cosby?

    Your perception is broken.

    Did Weinstein or Cosby get media support, trying to make it a reveal about their 'heterosexuallity'? Granted that didn't fly, but they tried it.

    It would be a shame if you ruined your friendship with me...

    That's a solicitation, not an assault or rape. Their is a clear implied quid pro quo. The women that didn't 'ruin their friendship with him' are whores.

    The most basic conflict is allowing fucking lawyers to vote/hold office.

    Solution: Law students get 0.3 of a vote. Lawyers get 0. To run for office they have to forever give up their license to practice law.

    True. But don't neglect the 'whoring' aspect of it.

    People have been trading sex for advancement for all of human history. Whores are _not_ victims, they are co conspirators.

    Applies more to Weinstein, Clinton etc than Draper, Moore or Franken.
