  • It’s disturbing to see the rize of authoritarian nazi like behavior in North America. The worst part is a lot of these people had their grandfather’s and fathers fight in the world wars to stop this kind of thing.

    It’s messed up that these kinds of people can even get into political office when they should be as far away from political power as possible.

    Damn I don’t understand how this brainwashing works, but the right wing has it on point. I’m genuinely worried that our world is about to change for the worse.

    Regardless of whether you’re in America or not, Trump existing has created a whirlwind of authoritarian worshiping bullies. Canada doesn’t seem far off. I know Europe is having their own troubles with it too. It’s like these people either didn’t learn about the world wars or did and thought “hey that sounds great”






  • Yeah, I don’t personally get it. We’re on a salary too, so if we’re getting our work done, that should be it.

    They essentially have no idea how much work we can actually do, so they’re trying to force the efficiency out of us. But I think it causes people to drag their projects out because they just get more work the faster they go. They’re also tracking to see how long we spend on various pages/screens. So I don’t think anyone can fudge their productivity at this point even if they wanted to.

    There’s no incentives to work harder as our raises dont really make up for inflation(even though we know they could! We all get to see the quarterly profits, and they’re bringing in millions more each year). so it’s this weird cycle of distrust and annoyance between the employees and our employer.

    In my personal opinion, I think the logical solution would be to have a normal conversation with an employee who isn’t working as efficiently and see how the employer and employee can work together to improve things.

    I know the guys at the top could retire tomorrow and never work another day in their life. I don’t understand why they don’t. Life is too short to waste away at an office

    The past week has been a mixed bag!

    Not really amazing, but also not the worst I guess. My work is now tracking mouse and keyboard inputs for productivity.

    In other news, Youtube messed with their backend, and it might have affected the impressions I was getting on my live streams? I’m not entirely sure but impressions dropped significantly this week. I think I’m getting too caught up on numbers rather than just having fun so I gotta probably say screw it and just have fun lol.

    The one thing I’ve really learned about YouTube and creation over the years is how much work and effort people put into their creations. I think when it comes to media we often just look at the thing at face value and forget the time, effort, blood sweat and tears that go into making things.

    It’s made me really appreciate stuff in general which I think is really good/cool. Especially artwork in general. I found traditional artists incredibly impressive before. But now my mind is blown whenever I see cool paintings, sculptures or whatever it might be.



  • Hmm, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I guess for me, I don’t feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.

    I know I want to get the end result, but it’s just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it’s just fun games when I’m learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested



  • Oh! So this actually might be caused by bad net code. I remember years back during horizon 4, or early on when 5 released, people would play online races with friends, and a good portion of the time, the ramming wasn’t actually intentional. Both people would record the race and one friend would see the other randomly stop or go flying and the other person would see their friends’ car send them off course.

    The game just thinks the other cars are in different locations than they should be. On the other players’ screen, it’s possible they didn’t even see you next to them. It can appear that you were behind them the whole time.

    It’s why I wish they would offer a ghost mode where you can’t ram, but can just race each other. If they can’t make car interaction accurate, then I don’t think they should bother with that feature (or at least make modes where it’s optional)
