I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer
I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.
I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.
I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.
How did I get this ad? I don’t fit the profile.

The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)
Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.
If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.
They just keep finding interesting ways to fail!
I have a sun lamp and take pills to potentially avoid SAD.
Wake up in darkness.

If they’re a shit website, I’m a lot more spiteful and put their content on the way back machine or post it publicly somewhere.
Every twilight fan I’ve met loves the wack. I have never met anybody who wholeheartedly loves the series as a true romance. They see it as a Romeo/Juliet with glitter vampires and how the series/actors never breaks kayfabe. And once that clicked, made me understand.
My kids love the cup song. That’s when I learned about her.
Then a few years later, some friends and I had a “bad movie night” where we watch movies and take shots during specific bad scenes, and the film was twilight. Anna Kendrick is young in the film (still baby faced) and incredibly forgettable when compared to all the other wacky scenes.

The left side also includes working out, having positivity posters, and a cup that says Rise And Grind.
The right could include a Doordash logo and a hot goth girl.
I never reflected on this but I think I do the same.
Nice people are appreciated, but forgettable.
The girl who shows you her pet dog she carries in her purse at a bar… That’s a friend for life.
At the Target parking lot, a woman jumped in front of a shopping cart to stop it from hitting my car. It wasn’t necessary, the cart was going like 3mph.
Incredibly nice of her to do. Weird as hell. Her sacrifice made my day and I think about her all the time.
What does “new PR” mean?
In programming, it’s a request to combine code. But if homie is rawdogging work with blank screens, I’m not following.
But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭
Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is
