I don’t know the last two, I’ll check them out thanks!

My four horsemen:

1. Uri Tuchman
2. Hyperspace pirate
3. Hand tool rescue
4. Apetor

This seems like a very U.S. centric view. I live in the Netherlands, most places here are unionized. And ofcourse it doesn’t hurt to change jobs every now and then, and I would never stay in a job at a place I don’t like working for. But I also wouldn’t change jobs just to get a raise, because I would get the raise regardless. Reasons I have quit jobs in the past were 1. a company keeping me working through an agency, 2 an emerging toxic culture, 3. Company got sold and went from being innovative to a cash cow, changing my job from engineering to an administrative position.

Taller people have higher BMI’s, something to consider.

I only view the channels I’m following, and never click on anything else there. So as long as Youtube doesn’t inject te AI shit in those channels, I’m good.

Reading the Wikipedia page of the game, it seems to be quite different.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Wireless almost had it right.

Reminds me of Wireless Seattle, that must be what, 25 years ago?

Civilized in this context would mean “at an advanced state of social and cultural development” I guess? Looking at this definition, I can allready tell you I live in th most civilized part of the world, since this would be higly subjective.

Ok, than now all we have to do is decide who’s civilized, Europe or America, and then we know which is right.

Posted in the new thread!

Not as much reading last week as the week before; finished “Record of a spaceborn few” by Becky Chambers. The book is good enough, but I like books to be more plot oriented, this series is more about people finding out how they fit in their worlds. So next book, “Dead space” by Kali Wallace. Nice and simple book, very plot driven and no need to over think it as a reader. It fit right in with my mood over the weekend, and I went through it in a breeze. I tought it was part of a series, so I started looking for the rest only to find out it is a stand alone book. I also had John Scalzi’s “The consuming fire” on my e-reader and I’m almost half way through at the moment. My experience with John Scalzi is rather typical, I read “the collapsing empire” awhile ago and found it hard to get through, but this next installment in the series is hard to lay down. I had the same with the old man’s war series, where I would alternate between meh (books 3 and 5) and great (1, 2, 6 and especially 4).

Those who know will know…

Sure, we’ll just wait for the gen-Z executives to roll it al back then right? It’ll never happen, this is a money thing, not a generation thing.

Either just stand there and let my toughts wander, or shave my balls, or have sex with my wife if she tagged along, or furious masturbation followed by self loathing.

Says who I hate my job? I have switched jobs occasionally, but these guys will work somewhere for less than two years on average. I’m specifically referring to the seagull category of coworkers here, they come flying in with a lot of noise, shit all over the place and then leave with a lot of noise, leaving the shit to clean up for others.

God I hate these guys who hop from one to the other job every few years. It’s always the guys who talk big, and when they can’t deliver (mostly because their “great” ideas will break something else) quickly leave “because this company is too much set in it’s ways”.

This one is so bad it becomes good again!

So you’re looking at an era that you probably don’t remember actively being a part of, and you compare it to the world you do remember. I don’t think I was the one to live in a bubble*. Also, have you seen Musk do the Hitler salute on television? Nobody tried pulling shit like that in 1994.

*I lived, and still live, in a very rural area, which is not know for being progressive.

In the Netherlands, it’s not like the King or his family aren’t doing anything. They are somewhat like special ambassadors for the country. They also are highly connected, both to people in governments and other people in a position of power. And they do answer to the Parliament.
