Getting a life is kind of half the problem with everyone. Atomization, despair, loneliness... not that I expect the totally-not-compensating macho rightoid fellas to admit the truth, but they're just as subject to it as everyone else.

Boredom is real. Social hobbies are the cure. Third places need to make a comeback in America but car culture has suppressed a lot of them.

Parasocial relationships with public figures of any kind aren't healthy. I met Bernie Sanders and shook his hand, but I would not give him a reacharound.

Your outcomes in life are extremely strongly associated with the size and strength of your network.

He was very sweaty. Dr. Cornel West was there.

I try not to quantify my network, I just remember I am privileged and thrice-blessed.

Speaking of 30,000 foot views, thanks for the word-combo. I used it as inspiration before leaving the house to take the dog for the walk while providing lip service;

I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence is foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no one size fits all or silver bullet. Remote is only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, allows us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.

I think if you all start spending more time in the office again, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize! I think given that we've been remote for so long it's easy to forget the benefits of working in the office.

What's the root cause of the hatred of corporate office spaces? Putting my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.

I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.

So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed.

I have a standup later at 3. Give me a ping after and we can chat.

Thanks for not including anti-semitism for once in your shitposting career but I am not reading that

If you can't beat em, join em, which is why I changed my surname to Rosenstein before landing this job.

I'm not dyed in the wool, but I appreciate my presumed heritage.

What is the process for the president to declassify documents?

Also, I'm sure trump probably did unknowingly commit crimes, but they want to put him in jail for literally 700 years and\or execute him. Cruel and unusual punishment and all that, ya know? They might as well just sentence him to a bajillion years. Again these are some of the most powerful people in the country acting like a 7 year old girl who's mad at her older brother.

Plus biden family corruption yada yada but I know you for some reason don't care about that. There's no point in having laws if they aren't applied equally.

It usually works like this, these days

Cool but I'm just asking for like, specifically what the process is? You guys keep assuring us there's a process and that trump didn't follow it, but you never say what the process actually is.

I literally don't know or care, put the Biden crime family in with the Trumps and throw away the key.

I'm sorry that you don't like the circus, but that's what happens when you hire so many clowns
