Wasted minutes reading this shit. tldr; an addicts trip report.


You get a downvote and an explanation!

In order for a negative review to contribute to a conversation you should really make it more than a poorly written 10 word sentence. If you don’t, well, there is nothing at all convincing about why the article is bad. Not everyone will share your opinion that it is bad so if you don’t make a supporting argument then what’s the point of saying anything at all?

Also, I really wish people would leave an explanation about why they are downvoting more often.


LOL

My only hope is that you at least were smiling about the irony when you clicked the little down arrow... because it is actually really funny! :D


I wanted to reply like what is below but got cold feet. But thanks.

>>>> Why? tedious for me w/o a join. Or is there a feature lurking somewhere? At a different level stuff like this it strike me as “… nothing to see here move on .. “


I think most (? certainly many) readers like the links to past discussions. If it were just a list of past submissions, most of which didn't get comments, I'd agree with you.

I also try to drop the ones that got comments but the comments were off topic or otherwise useless.


>>> Facebook introduced .. ppl to xyz topics ..

I possibly belong to this set. Could it be that this goes way back when people got hold of religous text and learn to read it and discuss about it?


It actually does make me wonder if we can see a connection between what's happening now and what happened when Protestant Christianity started spreading with the whole "priesthood of the believer" deal where everyone can read the Bible in whatever translation and interpret it just as well, supposedly, as those who are trained in Greek/Hebrew/Latin and actually studied the historical context of it. Seems very similar, in some ways, on a rough look.


Enjoyed the post.

I shop at Costco for

- wine, single malt, brandy, cheese, and bread

- sea food, mutton, sardines, tuna, canned stuff, tomato and citrus fruits

- dog food and bird feed

And of course their food court pizza + hot dogs

Great place.


>> rc cola .. blah blah

Genuine question. Did rc-cola make claim that it is same/close as real cola ? Seem more like taste issue than durian-2-durian compare.

Itching to buy a system76 64gb laptop and let go of mbp (good), and the idiotic lenevo and thinkpad (32gb duds.)

disclaimer — I work mostly console.


What my school teacher used to say about

- cold feet - impetous - eccentric - breathlessly arrogant - astonishingly careless

pupils


>> driving around aimlessly

Commuting to work? Couldn’t resist. Sorry.


For topics france24.com seem reasonable for me. I’m interested mostly international topics.

Clear title and short description no bias listed vertical I prefer.

Wish there is (like reader view) a browser built-in for view facts, opinions, what others are saying —- as researched expressed by the author of each article.


I love France 24 for international news, especially to gauge if something ridiculous in America is making international headlines. You’d think the Brits are good for this but it seems they like to sandbag America at the cost of attention to their domestic problems. Thus continental news.

Also, France24’s B-roll is always sidedly endearing to me. Maybe it’s because Europe is a much older, more lived-in place than America. I recommend.


Went with Nature. Thank you.


Seems asymmetrical the way it’s phrased.

Did you simply mean to say both fucked up?


The parent theorized there was no way for a 1:1 to be effective because there are no overlapping common goals and incentives between managers and employees. So then I've presented two common examples of how such goals might exist.

I would be surprised to find that neither of these have ever applied. That would seem to indicate that their entire professional working experience has been only ever adversarial and toxic. Just not a great look, especially if you've also been responsible from the manager side.
