@SheRatesDogs The guy is an ass about it for sure, but she's canceling a date at 6pm. My general policy was always if someone has to reschedule and suggests an alternative time/date then I'd go with it, but if they canceled without suggesting an alternative then I'd be done.

@Kazanjy I care about performance. If you’re hitting quota in 3 hours a day, have at it. Arguably these “distractions” can make people more effective. More true with sales than other things, but results not effort or hours is all that matters to me.

@PoliticalEmilia I may be misremembering, but I don't think anyone was saying that to Hillary after she lost her first primary to an underdog. In fact, I think she was basically treated as the de facto candidate before she ever even announced. That said, sexism does exist.

@PhilGalfond Addendum: Many would-be winners can do this most of the time, but after getting entitlement tilt (or some tilt variant) they go crazy. If you win at 10bb/hr (~30bb/100!!), punting a stack on tilt erases 10-20hrs of quality play. Even good players can struggle to beat rake+tilt.
