It's funny because all it has ever done for me is the opposite. I'm a pretty energetic dude and weed has always made me want to get out and move, go and play a pickup game or something. It has also brought a different type of focu

That's likely for the top, most obvious, biggest keywords. Google Ads is very winnable if you're creative. Skip the obvious keywords and find other inroads. It can (and has) work for "small" companies not looking to brut

"Definite" is boring and lazy to some (like me). Giving the audience enough space for interpretation is exciting to some (like me). It's ok, not everybody has to like the same thing.

Have you asked yourself if everything you see in the movie is as presented? SPOILER: In other words, are the people people and the AI AI? (That's the wow.)

What about knives? Vehicles? Rocks? This is a slippery ass slope. I'm not a gun guy, but I am wise enough to know that there is ZERO logic behind believing "they'll only regulate this, not that."

Flew a lot for work. Then took a real dodgy flight from Vegas to NYC in 2012 [0] that was as close to crashing as most people have come. When the plane took off I heard noises that I just knew were not good. Ever since then I've found

I think the challenge that people like myself see in these phones is captured in at least half of the actions you listed. They can be categorized under "my phone helps me avoid spending time with myself and whatever my immediate surrou

There is logic at play here, even if you disagree with the approach behind executing it. It's pretty simple psychology that when your neighbor gets robbed it "hits home" with you more than hearing about nameless people on the

I'm hoping this is sarcasm. If not, I don't need the government assigning me work to "exercise other parts of my brain" thanks.

No, not just click baits. Pop-ups, chats, modals, interstitials, recapture emails, drip campaigns, ads, and so on. They work. In many cases. Don't ever listen to what consumers "say" they want if their actions cast a differen

They work. All the annoying things that so many consumers claim they hate...they work. A decent enough # of those people click, hand their emails over, and then buy the thing. It happens every second of every day. (Of course I'm over g

Isn't our generation the most overworked, least-amount-of-free-time one? How does this extra job fit into that major issue?

At one point in NYC we had to use four - FOUR - different bins. In a tiny ass apartment. And still, there were so many damn edge cases that I gave up. Sorry, but I have a full time job and plenty to do outside of work. Make the recycling pr

I basically eat during work. That's it. Not before office hours and not after. Makes it very simple to track and routine-ize.

Positivity is the easiest shortcut to dissatisfaction and suffering. EDIT: When positivity is divorced from addressing reality, bad things occur. The majority of positivity pushing I've experienced falls into this category. Happiness !

I simply sent him a well-worded cold email. Worked well enough for a response and a discussion. (Nothing came of it for me, either.)

Young founders with zero or near-zero management experience in person, never mind remote. To a lesser degree - and strictly for small team, early stage startups - part of the journey is living it together. The whole vibe loses something whe

Because excitement, notoriety, achieving exceptional status - regardless of the specific around it - is wildly different than the average, mediocre, mundane life (relatively speaking).

Oh man. My two cents (many, many years of content writing). It's very difficult to write a high quality post in under an hour. In my mind, high quality = somewhat original, well thought out, required some level of research/citatio

I used to be obsessed with a "dumb phone" that didn't quite have the utility features you described years ago. I think it was called John's Phone? Loved the idea, but hated the thought of owning two different phones.
