I didn't even read the whole thing, TBH. It's been a while, I'll have to see if I still have access via the link he sent me. That's even more blatantly sleezy than I was thinking. If he actually managed to build any sort of following, they might be interested to see what he attempts to put in his NDAs.
Gross. Well today is a "losing hope in humanity" kind of day.
I didn't sign for a weird thing.
I was going to go on a first date when the guy asked me to sign an NDA. He was attempting to be a content creator on YouTube, tiktok, etc., and thought he needed to start "protecting his reputation". I declined the date.
People have recognized that species changed over time since the BC era. There are records of such from the Latin/Greek area and the Islamic area and Chinese area. Two dudes didn't magically come up with evolution from scratch at the same time.
New people who don't know wtf they are doing because we don't have structured training and our written documentation is piss poor and we're overall bad at helping them. Some new college grad botched a multi-million dollar program and come to find out, they weren't getting any meaningful mentoring or guidance.
The thought is we will be better at seeing these sorts of gaps earlier if we're having real conversations, not just the routine PowerPoint presentations sanitized to show all is good.
Could a team train and mentor via virtual interaction only? Sure. Can this particular team? Nope.
Taylor Swift started out around the same time as the Hannah Montana show, so not that one.
Taylor Swift and her team have too much business savvy to follow a 00s Disney show as a template, so not number two.
Trying to cram real life people and things into "jungian archetypes" is reductionist and the online, self-taught philosophist bro's version of astrology.
I was issued a monitor in the early days of COVID when they were sending us home to work. We already had laptops. They had literally pallettes of monitors, people were just grabbing one or two. Tracking was through the honor system, writing name and number taken on a piece of paper.
Now they're having us go back into the office ~3 days a week and want us to return the monitors. Lol, no.
I don't care to have anything on my wrist. But I want to start tracking steps, especially over winter, to prompt myself into enough daily activity. So I'm going to try a ~$50 fitness tracker on my wrist and see how that goes. If I can get past the annoyance at having something on my wrist, I may shop around for a full smartwatch, or more likely wait for the next gen or two. I am deeply unimpressed with the size and battery life of the flagship smartwatches right now.

Pass. It's a a feature, not a bug.
Instead of one community becoming completely dominant on a topic, there's another one close on its heels should anything happen to the first.
And if I subscribe to both, who cares which a particular post comes from? Just scroll down the feed, read a post if it looks interesting, ignore if it doesn't. Which community it originates from doesn't matter.
I wonder if the people who push for one community per topic across all the Fediverse are just extreme tidiness types who get a kick out of seeing everything in orderly little boxes. Trying to Marie Kondo a decentralized internet forum, that way lies madness.
Lol, jail time. You're funny. It was called a low-level misdemeanor. $500 fine and he went about his merry way.
A man went on a misogynistic tirade and punched me.
He wanted some thing we were out of stock of. Then he wanted some other thing for free because we were out of stock of the first and I told him I could give a discount but not free. He got increasingly mad. I offered to have the store call him when we got the thing in stock, referred him to another store where they did have it in stock, offered coupons, nothing deescalated him. Lots of screaming, calling me bitch, cunt, whore, etc. He reached over the counter to punch me, which fortunately took a lot of power out of the punch and gave me enough time to shift so he hit my arms instead of my face (mostly).
I hit the panic button early on but the response was a couple min too late.
He was arrested and pled guilty without me having to talk in court, so that was nice.
I despise jokes about how much a person hates the opposite gender and their spouse specifically.
It's not a good self-deprecating joke, it's just sad. Get a divorce or break up already. You don't have to be trapped in a miserable relationship. And if you hate the opposite gender so much, consider whether you might be queer.
