Oh yeah, I'll quickly shut that down when they wanna do that "kids these days with the technology" nonsense, usually as some excuse for why these older folks who've had 40+ years to figure out computers still can't check their own email.
No, Timmy isn't "so smart with technology" because he can consoom on a device designed for infinite low-friction consumption.
Or people who are so "weary" of danger.
Man if that isn't just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
I cringe so hard at the twitterist carebear-hugbox way of smugly claiming the intellectual high ground and shaming somebody:
"Be better." or "Do better."
The sentiment isn't terrible, but it's prevalent use is obviously just dripping with arrogance and thrown out in the most petty ways. Ugh!
Absolutely. This "you're just a poser lefty if you actually vote for Kamala" stuff is such a psyop. I really really hope people aren't buying it.
Idealists we all may be, we obviously need to deal with the most immediate danger first, and I hope it's plenty clear that handing Angry Orange Baby more votes isn't helping anyone!
I've actually considered starting a Friendica or other instance exclusively for friends and family to share pictures and communicate, invite only...
... But even if I managed the insane technical aspects and convinced people to try it, I only fear the mainstream social media giants have already trained them to be their worst selves at this point. I can see the bickering drama threads now, eating up my gigabytes...
I just hate how fragmented and walled the most connected Internet ever is...I felt more connection when I had everyone between Yahoo and MSN Messengers, or took the time to check out friends' MySpace pages.
You know it's not real because there's no machines beeping loudly in his ear because a car was in the drivethru for >16 seconds, or manager screaming "Hurry the hell up where are those large fries!?!" or people throwing crap at him for tiktok cred.
Me, a long time KeyPass enjoyer:
"Y'know people keep talking about BitWarden, maybe it's more accessible and I should give it a tr...(sees this) PFFFFFTTTT! DODGED THAT BULLET."
You make plenty of sense here. It's all about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation right?
For some reason whenever I tried to excel and take pride in my work or invent small improvements to things, I was either rewarded with nothing but higher expectations without higher compensation, or more often, I was just shut down entirely and told to shut up and get back to grinding.
None of that romanticized "I like your style, kid howabout a raise?" hollywood crap happened to me!
I think people more often than not want to do well, they want to be good at something, get better at it, take pride in their work. Being a complete layabout is exhausting!
But just like you, I got to the point of saving my passion for my own projects, and just doing what's most visible in the job description to not get fired, because I got real tired of being actively punished for making an effort.
Man I never got around to that one either! Added to the list!
Definitely a bit more meta-parodying of such films, and much more modern sensibilities to the point it's a little offtopic maybe, but nobody really references the comedic genius of Undercover Brother anymore. That movie is solid gold. Lmao
If you really want to, I sincerely hope you set up your movie theater in some form or another. 🍿😁
Surely you won't regret 7 proxies.
