  • The hold outs for these sites are so fucking dumb. They act like social media is somehow an important part of their existence when just 10, 20 years ago it was an emerging technology. These early iterations of social media are toxic as fuck. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They don’t deserve your patronage and are taking your goodwill and turning it into social decay.

    10-20 years and you people can’t give it up for something better. There is no argument. You don’t owe them loyalty. They aren’t innovating. They have contributed to the rise of authoritarianism.

    Yeesh.


  • The older I get the more impatient I get with stupid tasks that take longer then they should. I simplify my life by focusing on the task ahead of me. Knowing these small tasks compound into the final goal.

    So when I am looking through 17 different folders for a file I can’t remember what I saved it as and I’m sorting by date and opening things frantically…

    ‘it’s been 20 fucking minutes, should I just take the rest of the day to organize my shit? But if I get this fucking thing done I can setup a meeting on this today and fit it in this week before Juan goes on vacation and I have to wait two weeks to place an order that will take 6 months to deliver.’

    ‘Fuuuuuuuuu where the fuck is this file, I’ll just start from scratch and I’ll be done by 2pm just in time for it to go on the calender so everyone can seee. Or maybe i just look another 15 minutes wheeerreeeee the fuckkkk did I save this?!?!’

    'Bullshit bullshit bullshit!"

    Google: how to find file.

    Google: how to find file just working on.

    Google: how to find excel file by date, most recent.

    Google: file not in recent, why come?

    Google: did I dream a this nightmare wake me, wake me, wake me.’


  • In my mind, it’s really just entitlement. Something along the lines of, “well, I don’t know the answer and why should I have to know if someone else is going to figure it out.”

    In a tired way, I understand it. Everyday I just want some of my time back for myself. If I’m always the one who has to work through all the problems for my ideas just to be ignored then I’m just going to be perpetually frustrated. So if my ideas are half baked and the solutions i barf up aren’t to your liking, well, figure it out yourself.

    Not to say that I am this way. I don’t get frustrated when my ideas are ignored. I do get frustrated, though, when others eat up half baked ideas knowing they are just that.

    Sorry, if what I’ve wrote so far has gotten a bit confusing. I’ll wrap it up and say, it’s entitlement. People don’t want to think for themselves because it’s time consuming. They think the world should order itself in a way that fulfills their needs with minimal effort on their part. Except, to understand how the world would be ordered for that to be reality, they can’t comprehend because no one has really figured that one out. So they fall back on god and gods an easy out because, duh, he’s god.
