The real action is offline. Maybe it’s time to go there.

A lot of people, myself included, REALLY need to pay attention to that line. I think there is real value in online discourse, honestly, but it should come after helping people in a visible and noticeable way. People notice who offers a helping hand and who has nothing to say but scolding remarks, and that cuts both left and right.

They’re not gonna stop until well past the point where it stops making sense. That’s the nature of this, the higher ups are always slow to react, but determined to chase what they perceive as a trend. Throw money at things in the hope of striking rich like fortnite, (honestly it’s little better than gambling) they have no understanding, or will to understand, the reasons why some games take off and others fail. So they mindlessly push thinking that’s it purely a matter of luck or timing.

Time to find out if they’ve learned the right lessons. I won’t be holding my breath.

It’s just so trash, the quality is just unbelievably bad, and I cringe whenever I see someone wearing something that looks so flimsy and poorly made.

To an extent, think work friends versus the kinda friends you meet at a concert, or at the gym. It’s not necessarily a “different” personality as much as shifting behavior and topics a bit. In short, I’m gonna talk a little different around my young engineering friends vs the guys I’ve known since high school.

It makes me deeply uncomfortable to entertain the thought that “the paper towel industry” is an entity out to manipulate me.

I have waited so long for this.
