At University I found lectures very hard to understand in realtime let alone take notes. I'd still attend them however, but sit and do coursework for that subject. Why? To pick up on info regarding labs, exams, and so on. Even so, I still picked up on enough content by osmosis. My laptop helped me do that course work.

While I also wouldn't be a huge fan of meeting recordings, I question the issue of not having the ability to proofread what you say. How does not having the recording on assist in that? You'll still say what you say, people will then hear it and act on it. If it's 'mad talk' because you mistakenly said next week instead of the week after our whatever then thier first act will likely be to ask for clarification. A simple and positive event in an engaged and magnanimous workplace culture, how is yours?

I've worked in a tech team (systems engineering) that was very aware of neurodivergency in the workplace, as a team we brought more awareness on the topic to the company than HR and upper management ever did. It was awesome.

@darthpseudonym, ok, that's consistent enough for me to stop thinking too hard about it ๐Ÿ‘. The production design, while fun, is still a sticking point, but I can handwave that away with some form of 'everyone sees what makes sense to them'. Loki sees a bumbling bureaucracy, 'big brother' earth (represented perhaps unfairly by the trope of unpleasant bespectacled librarians and so on) as opposed to Asgard which he will naturally hold in a higher esteem ... (Or whatever ๐Ÿ˜‚)
Lamar Latrell
Sep 17, 2021 18:53
Lots of question re. TVA... Why are they all human(oid), why is so much content so earth centric (disasters they reference, production design etc.). I know they sprinkle in references to Titan and Asgard, but the galaxy, let alone the universe in the context of all of time is huge right? And that's what they are claiming authority over... I'm guessing the answer to this will be a reveal later in the series

I have worked in industrial automation as an engineer (theme parks and entertainment industry), just some added context for readers: nothing is 'safe', there's an infinite regression of things to consider. Discussion often amounts to discovering where each individual's threshold of risk/reward lays. As an exercise, try to justify an average roading system nowadays for 'safety'.

FWIW, in my line of work this approach doesn't work so well, as soon as you suggest that 'I'm a bit confused here', 'maybe I'm wrong but' etc. this is compared to the other parties assertion that they aren't confused and that are correct and they 'win' by subconscious default. For that reason I agree with @user .

I had a colleage who said 'cinches' when she meant centimetres. Me explaining that I was likely to hear 'inches' instead was meant with the response that cinches was short for 'shentimetres' (spelled phonetically) and that I should be more respectful of the fact she spoke two languages compared to my one.
