There are some days when I just look around and cry to the sky, "Could I just deal with a different set of assholes today maybe??!"
In other words, let's try it.
My father's mother died a few years back and due to a rabbit hole I won't get into, was left with cleaning out her condo by himself. She wasn't a hoarder or anything, but he was floored by the work involved.
During the pandemic hermitude, he absolutely purged his own house of everything like this. He didn't want us to be burdened with it when his time came. It's ironic that I was a little upset over some of the things he threw out xD
I don't think this post said anything about 'The Game' backfiring.
It specifically calls out that streamers spoke about exactly what they didn't want spoken. That's what the Streisand Effect is.
Congratulations to Game Science for a good game, but it's business as usual for the C-Suite being completely disconnected to how the social world works.
Most of hacking is done by mass effort with maybe a couple percent of people that aren't doing basic things to protect themselves being affected. That couple of percent is enough to keep the hackers flush. (So please, follow basic cybersecurity steps, people.)
The plain truth of the matter, though, is that if a hacker or group of hackers is targeting someone individually for reasons, that person is in real trouble.
This has been a PSA for everyone chasing fame and clout.
I love how media is slowly moving away from "RTO is bullshit" to "It has some benefits but they're taking it too far". Next week it will be "What were we thinking? RTO is here to stay!"
As so many people have said, there's plenty of jobs where this isn't necessary at all. The conversation needs to stay focused on the flawed conceptions of corporate suits in an echo-chamber.
I've seen this over and over in corporate environments.
Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.
Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn't say anything because they wanna keep their job.
Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.
What is it about Suits that they can't listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they're angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.
That dude started to get a dad bod and said F that, I need to fit into this t-shirt all the way to my casket.
It's McCarthyism all over again. God forbid someone thinks Israel is fucking up and actually says so. This kind of shit was repugnant then and it will be repugnant in the history books.
Enjoy being on the wrong side, you intellectually stunted children.
I have to work SO HARD to see this the right way haha
If any representative from Brother is reading this, hear me.
DON'T ENSHITTIFY! You see this? You can own the market if you just LEAVE IT ALONE.
We've investigated ourselves and found proof that we're awesome!
Not looking forward to that moment WotC comes out with their version, though. The memes should be epic at least.
