A head chef was hired despite having no cooking experience and told me to cook a new chicken platter. When I asked at what temperature should I cook the chicken, the chef replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."
I was given a task to build a gingerbread house with only a dirty q-tip and a used condom. When I asked my manager in what fucked up world this makes any sense, he replied "We Have to Make the Operating Model Work."

Get the We Have to Make the Operating Model Work mug.An extension of the security mode concept to whole societies or communities. When a social group experiences prolonged instability, threat, or trauma, it can enter a collective security mode—prioritizing safety, order, and cohesion over freedom, creativity, and dissent. Institutions tighten, outsiders are suspected, and conformity becomes a virtue. The theory explains how entire nations can shift toward authoritarianism during crises, and how communities can remain stuck in defensive postures long after the threat has passed. Exiting social security mode requires not just material safety but also collective rituals of healing and trust‑rebuilding.
Theory of the Social Security Mode Example: “After the terrorist attacks, the country entered social security mode: surveillance expanded, dissent was labeled unpatriotic, and immigrants faced suspicion for years—even when statistics showed the original threat had been contained.”

Me: Hey Siri --- bring up "Lassie Come-Home" on archive.org.
Siri: I'm sorry --- that book has been pulled from the site due to copyright lawsuits.
Me (incredulously): Pulled due to copyright...?? THAT ancient classic?! Surely there must be some mistake!
Siri: There **isn't** a mistake --- and don't call me "Shirley".
Me: Ooops --- I see that I left my phone in "Airplane! mode".
P.S. Kidding aside, Siri apparently CAN INDEED be programmed to cheekily sass you back like this; here's what da Google-AI response had to say when I posed da question:
Yes, Siri can be programmed to respond with "And don't call me Shirley" when you say "Surely".
Here's how you can do it:
(1) Open the Shortcuts app: Launch the pre-installed Shortcuts application on your iPhone.
(2) Create a new shortcut: Tap the "+" button in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.
(3) Add a trigger: In the "New Shortcut" screen, tap "Add Action" and then search for and select "When I say".
(4) Enter the trigger phrase: Type "Surely" into the text field next to "When I say".
(5) Add the response action: Tap "Add Action" again and search for and select "Speak Text".
(6) Enter the response: In the "Speak Text" action, type in "And don't call me Shirley".
(7) Save the shortcut: Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save your new shortcut.
Now, whenever you say "Surely" to Siri, it should respond with "And don't call me Shirley".
