Just do the thing already

Reply in thread

Even better: if a task takes less than 3 minutes to perform, just stop what you're doing and do it.

It's such a great way to get things done, because eventually you will train your brain into thinking of major projects as a series of bite-sized tasks.

We can't keep tying healthcare to employment

Talk to people about these issues whenever socially possible.

So many people have the same problems, but they don't know it because they tend to clam up and keep their heads low. Americans need to shake off that level of cowardice, and someone needs to be the conversation starter.

Talk to your neighbors. Talk to the local clergy. Shit, talk to a cop, if you're feeling brave!

America needs to share more between themselves. Right now there's this rampant, buzzing noise coming from emotionally illiterate politicians committing atrocities, on both sides. You guys need to get your voice back. For that you need more community support; and the first step is to start. talking.

Mitch McConnell mystery deepens as health questions remain unanswered

George Washington University Hospital. I agree that visiting the house is pointless, but at this point who the fuck cares about the cons.

Americans NEED confirmation before August 3rd. If there is a slimer of hope for a democratic majority in the Senate before the elections, it might just be the quick fix that'll end this administration's constant self-sabotage.

All you need is visual confirmation. Yet no one has done it yet.

Somebody needs to witness this fucker.

Gaming related?

I let Banjo die and his sister be transformed so I could goon to sexy Gruntilda.

I set the CPU to Idle in Dead or Alive practice mode so I could knock over the female fighters and see their breasts heaving on the ground.

I finished to a car rocking back and forth in GTA 3.

Non-gaming?

No way in hell. Those die with me.

Meta Buried Research Linking Instagram To Teen Harm While Facing $1.4 Trillion Penalty That Could Erase Its Entire Worth

Just negative publicity in general. Facebook had become a shithole for boomers and Zuck had some controversies to bury.

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59083601

"The move follows a series of negative stories about Facebook, based on documents leaked by an ex-employee."

"Frances Haugen has accused the company of putting "profits over safety"."

Context: Facebook didn't have good security measures for user data back then, and not many people cared. Then Cambridge Analytica happened. Facebook was fined a pittance, and went back to business as usual.

Over the years, people started pointing fingers (they were slow to do so, since in a way, this was every Facebook user's fault). But eventually, Facebook became one of the most hated companies, alongside big oil and war profiteers.

Keep in mind, Facebook is one of the first companies ever to blatantly take and sell your data for profit. Their success story and eventual incorporation led to many others copying their business model, which led to the enshitification of the internet as you see today. Hence why Zuck's infamous conversation with a colleage became so well known.

On that note, rebranding works pretty well against the public. Nobody outside the legal system has time for corporate renaming shenanigans. The average joe is not going out of their way to keep track of names, so they will just give up and move on with their lives. People forget.

The hated company stops being hated, profit train keeps a-chuggin'.

You reached the end
