I’m currently reading The Conquest of Bread and it talks about how when a revolution occurs and a government falls, the bourgeois upper and middle class will wax poetic about what will happen next, how the vacuum will get filled, etc; while the working class at the bottom will be the ones to actually carry out the work and face the brunt of the change.
This meme is how I imagine those upper class people talking lol. When I read it, I immediately pictured Jordan Peterson fanboys droning on and on about what they think should happen, while actually saying and doing nothing.
This works well. Lazy people will try to make others do the intellectual work of their argument. You just have to turn it around on them and ask questions that force them to open the box of whatever nonsense they started with.
Often times they will get tangled up in their own argument, or it will start to expose the contradictions.
Yup. I’d kill for a 4-day work week. Just that one day would do wonders, and I don’t feel like it’s a lot to ask after the amount of work that’s been demanded of me in all of my years of employment.
We’ve been trying to cook more meals and it’s been nice. It’s just hard to stick with when you’re tired and have to clean all of the dishes afterwards.
After work I have a window of like 4-5 hours to do anything meaningful. That means 30 minutes to an hour just to wind my brain down, 1 hour making and eating dinner, and the rest of the time before bed usually involves doing nothing but playing video games because I’m too mentally tired to do any of the other hobbies I’ve since abandoned. Rinse and repeat.
But it’s all good! I get a tiny window of 48 hours before the pointless grind starts all over. Plenty of time to get the multitude of chores done that I had no time or energy to do during the week.
I can respect a manager that can’t do these things, if they can delegate and choreograph people well. Sometimes being a good manager simply requires one to be able to corral and give support where needed. They can admit to not being capable of things and respect their reports that do those things well.
If they can’t do anything and just take a top down, demanding approach all the time, they’re useless.
Nestlé is responsible for misleading African mothers into thinking formula is better than their own breast milk. They lied to expectant mothers just to sell formula.
Fun fact. Saudi Aramco got hit with malware that took down basically their entire computer system. The hackers then demanded $50m in ransom.
The virus was used for cyberwarfare[4] against national oil companies including Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Aramco and Qatar’s RasGas.[5][2][6] A group named “Cutting Sword of Justice” claimed responsibility for an attack on 30,000 Saudi Aramco workstations, causing the company to spend more than a week restoring their services.[7]
