A weird ass Microsoft ad.

I went earlier this year. It was gorgeous.
The tourist areas were shit. There's a LOT of tourists treating the city like a playground. Trash everywhere. Loud idiots on the train.
If you go and assume a respectful personality, you'll be fine. Just don't be the 10% who fuck around.
I was blown away when I was promoted to a management position and realized none of the other managers I worked with read any books on management or had any real experience. Many fell into the management position and just kept doing fuck all.
Not saying the overeducated is better. We later got some Wharton grads who were thrown into the management space and they were the most dumbest MFs I ever met. Their theories would go against reality and at no point did they understand the work involved.
I aspired to work in education in college and took a lot of courses on adult education and how to teach people. I recognized that my favorite teachers in K-12 used those techniques , while realizing none of it was done at the college level.
I don't work in education but I find myself using those techniques all the time in the workplace. And there's a clear difference between my department's onboarding and capabilities versus others.
I worked in a bunch of tech.
Startup CEOs are often folks who rolled really high on Charisma and convinced a lot of people to give them money. Often they have a spark of genius, but if they were really smart, they'd hand over power to people smarter than them. That's how major companies are founded. Then they settle back down.
The dumb ones are egotistical and many end up failing upwards, as they continue being propped up by other until money disappears and they break enough friendships that they end up in jail.

I wonder if families go out and bury it like this guy
r/confession • Chicken_Of_The_Year • 4d I threw a "adult-doll" along the roadside. There were media reports the next day.
Hi
I bought my adult-doll (xxx toy) a couple of years ago and hid it in the hunting room, hidden from my wife. Last year I decided to throw away the doll. It felt completely wrong to use it in secret from the wife.
Decided to get rid of the doll somewhere out in nature (Isn't room in a normal boss bin and it's embarrassing to take it to the landfill). Therefore had a spade to dig it into the forest. Drove off.. But I suddenly had bad timing and panicked and thus ended up throwing it on the side of the road.
Tragicomic as it all was, it ended up with the doll being found by people the next day. Someone who was on their way to work and got a little shock... It made headlines in the local newspaper, some regional and one national newspaper .. The DD was never traced back to me.

Same. I think it's neat. But not "Yeah I trust you Microsoft" neat.

This is the golden ticket I've been waiting for.
