  • Dude, look around. Most of us are way, WAY past the “We’re all in this together! We can do it if we try!” method of living and have been operating in survival mode for the past 5 years. And can you blame them? The flood waters are rising and people are wanting to make sure they have a life raft. If that means working for evil people/companies, then so be it. It’s not like working somewhere else will stop or slow the flood. Morals are nice, but they won’t keep you afloat.


  • Just in Time shipping and manufacturing only serves one purpose, making quarterly reports look good. Managers and equity firms LOVE JiT because keeping inventory on hand doesn’t balance well on their spreadsheets. They can not quantify inventory getting used over the course of a few years because they can’t see past the next quarter. To them, it’s lost profit; even if it doesn’t lose its value and is all but guaranteed to get used/sold eventually.

    You would think more companies would have learned the merits of Just in Case manufacturing. Those that did absolutely thrived under COVID as they were the only ones still able to produce.

    But no. The COVID crisis “ended” and companies went “Well something like that will certainly never happen again! Back to the old ways!”

    The definition of deporting does not specify that it must be to the country of origin. It is simply the expulsion of a foreigner from a country. No specific destination is needed.

    This may seem pedantic, but words matter, and if you’re starting your argument by trying to twist and change what words mean, then you’re already weakening your point. Especially when you end your argument with GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.





  • Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.

    Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”

    Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”

    “But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”

    “🤷‍♂️”



  • Here’s my take on it:

    On days when I’m working at 100%, I’ll admit, I do better in the office than I do at home.

    However, I don’t always work at 100%, and I have MORE 100% days at home than I do at work.

    In an average week, I will get more accomplished working from home than I will at work, simply because I am more motivated and energized while at home.
