I’m glad they took my TV away. I don’t even know how to switch to another channel that is not the gray one with the unrecognizable noise.

I never understand why people want to have their coworkers in their real Facebook friend list (not the dummy one with no real friends in it). Why would you want them to bother you at home too?

So some people say that the joke wasn't about race, but about engineers.

As if workplace culture was somehow safer for them making sexual jokes or racial jokes or negative stereotypes before cancel culture and after HR department. Or that workplace before HR people were just chilled and happy being made fun of by your coworkers during breaks.

How about going directly to the smell source and telling them? Or just making passive-aggressive jokes to your close friends so they know who you are talking about? No one wants to be lumped together with smelly people in the middle of a beautiful day by a complete stranger or a coworker.

I have a new idea for today already.

Hello Marten.

Apparently I can create a customized GPT for customer service. I am building one to do exactly just that.

Some whiny boy head of AI of a company got fired for his racial joke on Twitter posted by his professional account. And then he cried he was a victim of the cancel culture. And that Musk should defend him. The funny thing is, he doesn't seem to worry about losing his job so much as losing his ego, because that meltdown looks a lot like a narcissistic collapse.

  • demand the status back
  • invent a grand narrative (twitter monetization)
  • borrow status from the authority associated (Musk=racial joke, apparently)

What happened to just being professional at work?

Meanwhile, I teach my employee to achieve the best behaviors everyday.

I love you, Marten.

See you again tomorrow.

I actually don't think highly of people who donate to charity. If anything, I think about them worse than people who don't donate at all, or people who just donate the minimum. I don't like anarchist mutual aid either, because I think it's not realistic or optimized.

If you inherit a large sum of money and donate some of your money to charities because you think people have less than you,but you also steal someone else's food in a shared fridge because you think it doesn't matter. How should I feel about you?

If you do your job with ACTUAL good intention and action, using your knowledge to improve your own work and mutual projects, you already do more for everyone. Not just your direct paid customers or clients. Everyone. It is way more meaningful than doing something you know is obviously wrong and then donate your money to a charity out of your inner guilt.

Which is why I loved you from the start.

There is a scandal on a charity case in Vietnam. Kind of tired explaining about the dynamics happening in those circles because I EXTREMELY hate naïve people. My sister is kind of naïve and I have to put up with that. No I won't donate anything ever. Unless someone make a very convincing case right in front of me. But even then, maybe I give them like a dollar because I can only afford that amount.
