Cake day: July 2nd, 2023

  • Airtable for me as well. Set myself up a perfect tasks and notes system. Both played so well together, created quick in the moment through a form that flowed to tables. Tables used an Eisenhower matrix to prioritize day to day. Was perfect, I felt so far ahead of my work, felt accomplished each day and then my company was acquired. They won’t let us use aurtable and now I’m just lost and have said fuck it.

    New system is to say I’ll do it in the moment, and then see what I can remember each day through nags or context clues left around in open tabs and emails and hope I don’t drop the ball too hard. Fuck big stupid corporate machines that eat good people and shit out temporary shareholder value!!!







  • I’m probably the same generally, but I don’t have to be humble about it… IME, majority are capable and would just rather be doing something else. So they get to go dance, I have to learn/practice and then fix their shit/teach them when their done dancing because I care for them as friends, family or just other humans.

    Just frustrating, but I’ll typically offer the help or opportunity to learn, where applicable.




  • Yes, you’re making the same point - gas is that “knowing when you reach your limitation” part. But also, being able to push just up against that line and the curiosity/work invested to understand if you’re able to do so is important, and very rewarding. There’s a chance that people are losing that general curiosity to find that line and realize their capabilities are more than they thought prior to trying.


  • “DIY” is a thing because many strive to understand enough of multiple relevant basic disciplines needed as an adult to be able to cover the first 15% or so of common jobs before they see their limitations and call the specialists.

    I believe the expressed frustration here is around the fact that acquiring that first 15% type skill is no longer seen as a responsibility/point of pride for folks to gain as they grow.



  • iOS is literally designed for toddlers to be able to use it. “iPad kids” aren’t especially gifted, “iPad adults” are especially stupid.

    But on the bright side, those same groups think they “know computers” because they can press large, brightly colored buttons - so they walk around with unearned confidence in their abilities and impatience/lack of appreciation for the people that actually have to fix things.

    It’s also why a large swatch of these same fucking idiot, drains on humanity loudly challenge the validity of voting tech infrastructure without any factual basis to their argument - they just “feel” like they get it.


  • I reject your original false premise that “so many” are actually doing this.

    I have faith that pro-Palestinian folks are on the whole, rational and empathetic enough to know that trump will end the comfort, and even lives, of so many groups of vulnerable people, decidedly inclusive of the Palestinians there. We elect Harris today so that our democracy lives another day. That preserves our rights to fill the streets in protest and interrupt commerce until Israel’s genocide ends WHEN Kamala actually has the power to stop it, after being sworn in.

    Until then, we stay vocal and we place the pressure to end this where it firmly belongs - Netanyahu and the Israelis instigating and enabling this historically horrible thing.




  • “Many people call it Pennsylvania okay. Some call it Arizona, but many call it Pennsylvania too. Most say they don’t even know what it’s called but the ones who do, they call it Pennsylvania, okay? and you know that, and I know that and we know that, which is why nuclear, because my uncle, John trump, okay, and this guy was rough okay? Rough and tough, and BIG. okay big tears in his eyes and he says, “ummm Mr trump sir… Ummm ummm”. But you can’t do that anymore right, they don’t let you, but that had, they called it Wharton business school. And you need to know business, you need to know DEALS okay, and they say, I mean you hear this, you hear many people saying this, that, “trump does deals”. And the greats say it, you see orban, and they call him strong okay, I’m strong, she’s not strong okay, golf it’s heavy, you can’t just do golf if you’re a lady and you know that. But yeah, lady marmalade was what me and Jeff called this one girl, and she was… I mean, you could do it in those days, and they’d let you and you did it and we all did it and it was great. And that’s why okay, that’s and you see the shirts and they say it, MAGA okay, MAGA, and it says “make an elephant grapes again” and that’s really it. But the whole thing is just a hoax okay, and Hunter Biden did Hillary emails and it’s, of course it is right? And it’s sleepy joe ON STEROIDS we call it, and where is he now? You don’t see him anymore, it’s like he’s not even running for president, but that’s why I think Tim Waltz is gonna be the future vice president.”
