Might be worth restricting replies on some posts. Really sorry you had to deal with that, I find that stuff really upsetting too.

No i will NOT explain what my company does. No there is NO product. Yes we spent the entire seed round on a rebrand. The logo is lowercase now. We’re worth $400M. I legally own your mum.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

do you think anyone in Andor respects the person whose resistance to the Empire consists of hanging out in the local cantina and threatening anyone who doesn't appear to be sufficiently anti-Empire

Realpolitik can be pretty gross. Here’s hoping India elects a better leader next election.

jane goodall releasing a video of her listing the people she dislikes and ending with a vague message of hope is so iconic. truly someone i aspire to model myself after

I can’t be certain, but my gut feeling is that there’d be a $0 workaround, if one has the energy to attack the issue long enough.

These days, I’d be using an AI (GPT or something) to figure out how to do it.

Hopefully you’re able to find something that works for you 🙂

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.

Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

If you mean the Lucas stuff, it’s b/c they’re based on a *real* shallow orientalist impression of Eastern spirituality.

If you mean the extended universe stuff, then fuckin 🤷, that shit’s such a hodge podge that it’d be impossible for it to make more sense than it does.
