Rapidly moving up my pet peeve power rankings - Restaurants and coffee shops that prioritize fulfilling mobile orders over the people in store and waiting in line.

A lot of people want leadership positions because they enjoy telling people what to do, not because they know how to lead.

I don't know which employer needs to hear this, but it's not your employees' responsibility to work twice as hard just because you've decided not to hire enough people to get the job done

No one should want a future in which all creative & intellectual work is done by machines, where humans are kept as pets playing games in their homes. All literature & mythology warns against such a fate. Don't go gently into the dystopia they seek.

one of the stranger parts of being an adult is realising how many people have never questioned a single belief they inherited, not even out of curiosity.

Interviewer : Can you explain this gap on your resume?
Me : Sure, are you familiar with the 1500 companies collectively worth $5 trillion that have laid off 3,67,000 workers in the past 18 months?

I fucking hate annual corporate self-reviews and goal-setting. No, I don't want to identify growth opportunities or outline my five-year career plan. My goal is to get paid every two weeks.

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

Someone said they miss when the internet felt like a library instead of a shopping mall, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. We used to go online to discover things, learn from strangers, and fall down weird rabbit holes. Now every click feels like someone is trying to sell us something. I miss the internet that wanted to share knowledge, not monetize every second of our attention.

They still don't understand Gen X in the workplace.
We don't want free pizza parties.
We don't want mandatory team-building retreats.
We don't want motivational speeches about being a family.
And we definitely don't want another company-branded coffee mug.
You know what we want?
💰 Pay us what we're worth.
🏖️ Let us take our vacation days without guilt.
🏡 Respect our time outside of work.
🤝 Trust us to do the job we were hired to do.
📵 Stop expecting us to be available 24/7.
We're not looking for an office to become our second home. We have lives, families, responsibilities, and better things to do than pretend a pizza party makes up for being underpaid and overworked.
Pay us fairly, respect our boundaries, and let us get on with our lives.
That's the perk. That's the culture. That's it. 😂

Russia/Ukraine is not a “both sides” moral equivalence thing. One side is the evil aggressor. The other side is defending their sovereign homeland.
Elon Musk’s “Roadster” is ironically named, since its use of jet propulsion means it’s not suitable to be around other cars in the same way Elon is not suitable to be around other people.

Ok can we talk about how insane it is that in multiple cases of school shooters, the shooter very clearly had issues but their parents were like “I’m going to buy them a gun :)”
Facts.
“Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes back home in three days as Janet, and they don’t even ask you.” — Donald Trump
How about we focus on “Your son Jimmy leaves for school and never comes home because he was killed in a school shooting.”
Because that’s what’s ACTUALLY fucking happening in American schools.
