When you’re the biggest shop in your town it’s because you do good work.

When you’re the biggest shop in the world it’s because you’re scamming your clients.

This is like you breaking up with a toxic girlfriend and she tells you “oh yeah well other people are still gonna date me idiot!”

You’d be an idiot not to. That was the very first thing I thought of.

I’m not limiting this to work.

And of course you can have a relationship with someone remotely.

But overall, for the average person, in-person relationships are going to be stronger. Friends, family, romantic relationships, hobbies, work, you name it.

I think that any study you find over the past 30 years will show that while online relationships can be meaningful in some cases, the average person will not form as strong a connection as they would in person.

Because the #1 reason why employees will stay at a job that underpays them is because they like the people they work with. And you can’t form those bonds remotely.

Even if they do remove it, I’m sure a browser extension will just step in to mimic it as best as possible.

Imagine when some popular show decides to make seasons 1-3 on one platform and then 4,5 on a different one and then 6 on another different one.

The psychological ramifications of that are immense. It would destroy people. It would be no different than any other drug.

You’re acting like he is a normal human being bothered by the same things a normal human being is.

This shit hit me so hard

Waiting for a Primus fan to make the joke

I love that though. I want to hear these wack jobs talk. I don’t listen to get smarter, just like I don’t go to McDonalds for a fine cooked meal.

Reddit is going to have to make the argument that it just boosts “what people like” and it just so happens people like negative engagement.

And I mean it’s been known for decades that people like bad news more than good news when it comes to attention and engagement.

This is a bit by a popular comedian that I cannot remember.

Yeah the problem is there would never be any reason for companies to even try to make working from home work unless some life or death event like COVID forced them to.

There was never going to be an easy transition for them. It was either nothing or against their will.

Well it’s like a super tape recorder that can play back anything anyone has ever said on the internet.

Imagine what would happen if a bunch of huge fully-remote companies with no office space were told by the government that they now had to buy a building for workers to work in.

Imagine how fast their opinion would switch.

The way you keep employees and build a strong team is by giving them things you aren’t obligated to provide.
