I’m on board with rules if it involves live animals tbh

I had a car, license plate CME1234 (fake numbers) so I called it “The Comemobile”

little did I know that Neighborhood Tires could also see the name I gave it on the portal.

This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

• Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
• you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
• engage primarily with people in that niche
• get to know them, build an online friendship
• get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
• nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
• unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
• expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

you mean glassdoor.com ?

different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.

And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)

Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it

Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.

Every word has stress. You probably mean the first phoneme is stressed. And the “rum” sound you’re looking for is called the “schwa”

I also use this for pills.

Just for pills.

The pills.

Yes.

in the uk old timers would order “whiskey and threat” - like just threaten it with water

.top is cheap right now and much easier to make into a phrase

generally people in the creative industries are nicer and drama free, but when they melt down they really melt down. I’ve worked on a few big movies, famous artist music videos - they’ve all been lovely. Worked for a small scale entertainment company, was a complete nightmare.

in the corpo world I have found very few people that are just chill, but I work with a lot of startups with VC funding - so likely a lot of pressure and billionaire bootlickers. Worked for a large TV shopping channel, old money, it was like a competition to see who could be the most bigoted; worked for a newly minted $50MM startup, everyone trying their hardest to be a cool rude dude who could out-cuss Gordon Ramsay.

I remain incredibly nice, thoughtful, understanding, professional, my LinkedIn is filled with positive recommendations.

I am commenting this from a terrible strip club with friends who dragged me here. I wish I was in your position.

I mean it’s true here.

it’s more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn’t marketed towards men.

honestly, I preferred reddit. But I’m here out of principle.

our work uses macs but also Kandji for software management, which also locks you into restarts during business hours 😎

Agree to disagree - to me the Uk office was a Gervais vehicle with the Tim/Dawn romance Christmas special episode as a nice bonus and Gareth as an occasional funny victim of his own hubris. Keith and Finchy having a couple of good scenes. Neil, Donna, Rachel, Jennifer, Jamie, Ralph… all very forgettable.

In the US office, as mentioned, I think its a well rounded ensemble comedy where you can feel it’s a collab of a writers room and a complicit cast. Everyone has their favorite moments from pretty much any character…

In the early 2000s I probably would’ve liked the UK office more because I was an edgy teen. 25 years later and after an 8 year run, 200 episodes vs 14 - I feel like I’d much rather turn on the US one if I wanted a laugh.

heres a controversial opinion: The American Office vs the UK Office.

While I respect the original, Gervais’ external antics and the much meaner, darker humor just don’t create as good a comedy vehicle that enables the viewer to laugh and have fun and enjoy themselves watching the show

the former is known as “audience left/right”

but allow me to use a more dated theatrical terminology:

prompt side and bastard prompt.
