  • Wow, what powerful words created by a team of writers describing something make-believe that never happened. So inspiring.

    “There once was a boy who felt sad about all the awful things in the world, but then he said “Stop it world! Be good instead!” and the world listened and became good and everyone lived happily ever after!”

    There, doesn’t that help? Whenever you are overwhelmed with our dying planet, rampant corruption, and the enshittification of society as a whole; just remember my story! If you’re a child, you might just be able to convince yourself it’s really real and matters.














  • Just in Time shipping and manufacturing only serves one purpose, making quarterly reports look good. Managers and equity firms LOVE JiT because keeping inventory on hand doesn’t balance well on their spreadsheets. They can not quantify inventory getting used over the course of a few years because they can’t see past the next quarter. To them, it’s lost profit; even if it doesn’t lose its value and is all but guaranteed to get used/sold eventually.

    You would think more companies would have learned the merits of Just in Case manufacturing. Those that did absolutely thrived under COVID as they were the only ones still able to produce.

    But no. The COVID crisis “ended” and companies went “Well something like that will certainly never happen again! Back to the old ways!”

    Eh… They do actually work for most people, unless they have been trained or take drugs to beat them. There is also a small portion of the population that will just throw false positives all over the place due to anxiety. Those are the reasons it’s not admissible in court. People take “not admissible in court” to mean polygraphs don’t work at all and are a pseudoscience, but really they work for like 95% of people.


  • Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.

    Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”

    Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”

    “But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”

    “🤷‍♂️”
