  • Across three different organizations, I’ve watched five members of IT fired for their arrogance. If you’re interested in doing this, simply hire an attorney, bring the smart person into the room with the arrogant idiot, and make it clear that someone in that room is not going to work for the organization in two weeks, and then explain the situation.

    I don’t understand this. What happens when you do that?

    College students that think they’re being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying

    This. The specific problem my alma mater ran into was all the conservative students saying they were getting bullied, and when asked how they were bullied, the response was basically “People disagreed with me and now they don’t want to hang out with me!”

    Sometimes I wonder if they’d actually been bullied, if their tune would’ve been different…





  • Yeah, I feel like it’s heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

    • I’m trying to think of how to quantify a “Have 0 debt” option but like, post mortgage or something.
    • Establish a friend group
    • Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
    • Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
    • See a historical human-made artifact in person
    • See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
    • Visit your country’s capital
    • Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends








  • Yeah…this is going to be a super unpopular opinion, but there needs to be a designated distro for new users who aren’t sure what to go with. If someone asks “What distro should I-” the rest doesn’t matter. We just agree on one distro and that’s it. Once they have a reason to look for another distro, they’ll have the knowledge to find it themselves.

    You have to make the first step easy.

    Not a runner, but for me the feeling is that I can workout for 364 days a year, but if I miss one single day, then the habit is broken and it takes the willpower necessary to move a fucking mountain to get back to the gym after that. It feels like I don’t built habits no matter how many times I do it.

    It’s still necessary to rest, but the fear is legit.
